Reduced sugar ketchup...YUCK!
So i finally got around to getting the Heinz reduced sugar ketchup and i had such high hopes from what people have said. It's pretty disgusting IMO and tastes super artificial. Leaves a bad aftertaste and I think I'll just go back to using regular ketchup. I think the extra 30 cals are worth it to stick to original.

For those who "bank calories" whats your routine/schedule?
Hi all! I know many people bank calories for the weekend. Do you have a set way you do this or just randomly eat less on days you're not hungry? I was wondering what your banking routine/schedule looks like. My work days are mon, tues, thurs & fri. Mine goes a little like this: Mon: usually the lowest of the week around…

TDEE vs MFP "complete diary" button
I've been using the tdee method but thinking of switching to logging exercises just so the "complete diary" might be more accurate with what I'll weigh in 5 weeks. I used to wear a hrm but got too obsessed with numbers so I stopped (but I learned an estimate of what i burn per workout) Will logging exercise make my "what…

Very informative video!
For those that are trying maintain and move over to intuitive eating from tracking please watch! I'm not there yet since I'm trying to find my maintenance cals. I think tracking as accurate as I can is important until I find my cal range. Hope to get to this place soon! Let me know what you think!…

Did you calibrate your food scale before using?
I've had my food scale for years, but I never "calibrated" it. I just opened the box and used it right away. I've weighed things like bread to compare the weight and what's on the nutrition label, and I THINK it's pretty spot on, but then I'll do some protein bars, and they're off. Did you all calibrate yours before using…

Do you eat out more, less, or the same as when you were in weight loss?
I'm curious as to how much you eat out now that you're in maintenance compared to when you were in weight loss mode? I notice it's still hard to fit in lets say, Ihop pancake breakfast then dinner out on the same day with lunch/snacks etc in between! So far, it's pretty much the same for me as when I was losing weight. I…

The reality of maintenance...
Does anyone else notice that maintenance isn't much different than losing weight other than a few hundred more calories? (That means I can have a large scoop of ice cream lol) Maybe I don't really notice a big difference because I never went too low on my cals when I was losing weight? It's kinda sad, but a reality check…

IF with early morning workouts advice...
I'm thinking of switching my workout schedule but would like to keep my eating schedule 16:8 (From noon until 8) Only thing is, I'd be working out at 6am instead of 6pm. Since I'm trying to keep my eating schedule the same and not eat until lunch (noon) do you think that's too long to go not eating after working out? Do…

Is a meal at 3 am yesterday's log or today?
Of course for New Years I went out to a club then ate a grilled cheese and curly fries at 3 am. Would you log it as yesterday's meal or today's? I know it all averages out but if I log it as today's meal then yesterday's calories wouldn't be as much of a fail haha

MANUALLY calculating my own TDEE help please
Ok math people please help me out. How do I manually figure out my tdee maintenance calories? I don't want to use online calculators because I believe my own personal logging data will be more accurate. I've calculated that I've lost on average .58lbs each week for the last 6 weeks. I dont really know what my deficit is if…

Question for "happy scale" or weight trend users
Do you use the setting "compare 10 day best" or the "compare moving average" if I compare the 2, 10 day best says I gained .2 lbs in 7 days but moving average says I've lost 1.2 lbs in 7 days. Was wondering which you use. Thanks!

Is "maintaining" gaining and losing the same 3-5 lbs?
Sooooo I've seen many people say this and was wondering if it holds true...let's say every week wed-sat I weigh fluctuating between 127-128 then the weekend of going out to eat maybe indulge a bit and Monday I weigh anywhere between 129-131 (depending on how much I overindulge) then by wed I'm back to 127-128 (it usually…

Hitting calories or hitting protein?
Curious, which would you do? Go over by, let's say 200 cals to get more protein or not bother hitting protein numbers and just stick to being under calories? (Trying to lose fat but maintain muscle)
