Calorie counts for MFP exercise entries
Quick question: when I enter an exercise entry such as "Walking, 2.5 MPH", is the calorie count based on my entered weight or is it just an average amount for any person?

Stress eater with a hectic job ... tips?
I was so proud of myself for 3 months of great diet and exercise and a steady 12 lb weight loss. But then my job got really busy 2 months ago with a big deadline project and work crises and other stuff and I've been eating junk, drinking too much caffeine and not exercising (before work gym time just became more work…

Couch to 5k : how to log exercise?
I've started using the Couch to 5k app, which starts with alternating periods of walking and jogging until after 9 weeks you get to a sustained running of - you guessed it - a 5k.

Is it really as simple as CICO? (With example)
So today I was rushing out to do a kid activity and missed breakfast but hoped to have my healthy homemade breakfast when I got home. Well, the kids activity was 2 hours longer than expected and to keep my stomach from growling I grabbed what was available: a donut. Afterwards it was a salad for lunch but just the 2 Tbsp…

Short older women and calories
I'm 5'0" and at age 45 with at least 30 pounds gained over the last three decades I've finally come to terms with the fact that I can't eat like the other people around me do. I've cut back to 3 moderately sized balanced meals a day (no snacks, no beverages besides water) and while it's not always fun it's more do-able…

Low calorie nutrient dense meals?
Week 3 of calorie reduction and general healthy eating for me and so far so good, but I keep worrying about nutrient levels, particularly calcium and iron. Meat and dairy are great but tend to tip the scales for calories and protein so much that I have to compensate for the rest of the day. Can you recommend favorite low…
