Discrepancy with serving sizes vs what is pictured in MFP blog photos...
Is this correct or am I seeing things? The blog for " What a 1200 calorie Day Looks Like protein edition" shows a photo with 3 egg muffin, however you follow the link to the recipe and the serving suggestion is only 2 muffins. Same with Avocado sweet potato toasts in the paleo edition, it shows 2 but the serving is just 1.…

End of the month money-food woe

I have canned tomatoes, shrooms, chickpeas, beef consume, cream of mushroom, lentils, quinoa + other assorted pantry stuff. And in the fridge fago yogurt, carrots, red…

Muscle spasm, dvt and cancer
I can’t catch a break this year. Currently can’t lift my arm or get dressed by myself due to “muscle spasms” in my shoulder which radiates down my arm to fingers. I thought it was a dvt as the affected arm turned blue and swelled. Went to the ER a few days ago. X-ray and ultrasound found nothing and no pinched nerve. Sent…

Bodyweight, kettle bell, hand weights or something else? And if I'm warming up without much weight how many reps/sets do I…

Please explain Recomp
Here’s the short version, sorry if it’s been asked before, I didn’t find the answer I needed by searching MFP: I fell into a deep, deep depression last year and lost 26 lbs practically overnight by not eating enough. That said I lost so much muscle mass that it was tiring to go up a flight of stairs or walk from the house…

Not new... But needing some friends
Hi! I've been on MFP for a couple of years now. Currently on a 115 day streak. I've never posted in the Introduce Yourself section. I'm on my way to healing from depression. An AP made me gain 70 lbs over the course of 5-6 months, 4 years ago. I went off my med and almost immediately lost 50 lbs. I'm back on meds and…

How to find lost fitbit?
I lost my Fitbit Zip. Seems like I have looked everywhere. Stupid me bought a replacement black clip for it, its not neon colored anymore, so its harder to see. I know that it goes dormant after a while of no movement, so I can't find it via bluetooth syncing anymore. Anyone know some tricks to find lost Fitbit Zip? Plus I…

Craft Beers
I'm a bit of a beer drinker and the calories are racking up. It seems like the beers I'm drinking are anywhere from 160-200 calories per 12oz bottle. I'm looking for an actual good beer, not something like Michelob Ultra, ick. Does anyone have recommendations for good beers that are lower calorie?

Old Scale, recommendations for type/brand of new scale
So the scale I have I inherited from my grandma. I think its from the 1960's. It seems to be in the ballpark of accuracy based putting a dumbbell on it. But it fluctuates up to +/-5lbs when you stand on it and lean forward to look down. Its really tough to get a reading on it, I have no idea what I weigh. Being its…

Chin-up Alternative
I've decided to try and get motivated to get in shape doing the Strong Curves workout. In the At-Home Workout Bret says to do Negative Bodyweight Chin-Ups. I can't afford the expense of buying a chin-up bar at this time. I have a small set of free weights (2.5, 5, 10 lbs with handles) and a Swiss Ball. The alternatives in…

Net calories and not hungry for eating them back
I've maintained my regular diet even though I've started exercising regularly. I'm burning between 300-500 calories per workout according to mapmyfitness. I'm just not hungry to eat back those calories. My goal calories is 1450, I'm netting about 1000-1100. Is this bad? Should I force myself to eat back to get the net…

Depression and weight loss
So last fall I got really depressed and lost about 26 lbs very quickly. Down from about 190-174, I'm 5'11'' F. I've since gained 5 back. Feeling better mentally. But physically not so good. Last year I was tracking my calories throughout and was only eating 1200 or less a day due to the depression and anxiety. I realize…

Food Scale, Really?
I began using MFP about a year ago. This is my 1st post. I logged 280 days then MFP mysteriously went back to 0 days! I was so angry with MFP. I had lost 25 lbs, gained back 5lbs recently due to stress. I was just using measuring cups and eyeballing it. Will using a food scale really make a difference?
