Strong by Zumba, Zumba Toning, Grit agility
Hi all! Just wondering how people log these classes as I can’t find them under exercise (cardio) in MFP. Do you put Zumba toning and Strong by Zumba as Zumba? Or HIIT for Strong?

How low is too low?
I'm new (again) and have a question. I religiously track everything that goes in my mouth including condiments, fruit, etc.. I also work out for 60 min six times a week. I'm 5'2", 130.8 lbs. I'd like to be 125. So here's my question. MFP gives me 1200 calories and then calories on top for exercise. Most people on this site…
