Before killing people and breaking things, make your bed
This quote is from NYTimes story: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/02/style/how-to-make-your-bed.html?_r=0 “You need an anchor point for your day, and sometimes that anchor is as a simple as making your bed,” said Mr. McRaven, now the chancellor of the University of Texas and the author of “Make Your Bed: Little Things That…

I had a lousy, no good, rotten day.
My daughter is taking vacation this week. She has been planning for several weeks to go to the Dallas Arboretum today. I was ready. I was psyched. She woke up late in the morning and announced that the Arboretum was off the plan and she wanted to go shopping. My plan was dashed. I started eating everything. I managed to…

Alas! Now mfp hinkiness has afflicted even me, using a web browser
I've already filed a proper complaint. My food diary shows trillions of calories consumed because I typed over a decimal point. An ad covers the 'delete' button, so I don't seem to be able to remove it. For 3 years I've smirked as you app users have complained bitterly about mfp non-functionality. Now, I are you.

NSV and Dark Confession
So, no, it does not belong in Success Stories. According to my food diary, I went to the grocery store last Thursday. How can I tell? Easy. After I get home from the grocery buying snacks and treats for my family, I pig out. Too often. The NSV is that one of the bags of snacks I purchased Thursday was Fritos Scoops. This…

Question re: exercise calories and carb limits
Hello. I read, I think it was at livestrong.com, that a person in ketosis who first burned calories in vigorous cardio could then consume a suitably sized carb snack without harming his/her ketosis status. I've been re-introducing cardio exercise during the 9 days of my keto experience, but have been unsure of 'how' to eat…

Math question. I want to calculate each macro as a % of my total calories.
For instance, my total calories today is 2071. I have 20 net grams carb = 80 calories I have 153 grams fat = 1377 calories I have 132 grams protein = 528 calories. 80/2071 + 1377/2071 + 528/2071 = 1985/2071, or about .96. If all the calories are from carb, fat, and protein, where the heck is that other 4%?

My noob keto questions
I've seen many keto advisors say that we should disregard calories while consuming low carb and high fat foods. The combination, I understand, provides satiety automatically with no need of counting calories. I've only been at this for 2 days. Maybe I just need a word of reassurance. Is it really ok to stop eating when I'm…

world's greatest hitchhiker convo
Lady friend of mine posted: "I picked up a hitch-hiker. Seemed like a nice guy. After a few miles he asked me if I wasn't afraid he might be a serial killer? I told him the odds of two serial killers being in the same car was extremely unlikely. I think he wet his pants."

Brown fat, on demand
Not yet, but it appears that in a few years we'll be able to have our white fat extracted, converted to brown fat, and re-injected. Brown fat burns calories. If we humans had some naturally, we'd be slim. https://engineering.columbia.edu/press-releases/sam-sia-white-brown-fat
