Teacher says Pop Tarts are not a healthy snack

I still am even after speaking with the teacher this morning. I teach my child that there are no good…

Got jacked for my pacer steps calorie adjustment?
Yesterday I went hard trying to earn some extra calories for todays dinner. I rode my stationary bike for 80 minutes and logged 20,000 steps. I was planning on doing the same thing today so I could eat good without worrying about going over. I went to bed with almost 600 calories earned from my steps. When I woke they…

How to edit uneaten cooked food?
How can I edit my logged dinner that I have not eaten? I got full and couldn't finish it. Normally I would just weigh the amount leftover and do the math, however I originally weighed my turkey burger raw, as well as my potatoes. How can I get a accurate amount when the food has been cooked and weighed raw?

Why do people say if you go low carb to lose weight, you must eat that way forever?
I know about the water weight loss coming back, but how does the fat come back if you're in a deficit or maintaining? I keep hearing you need to maintain that way of eating or gain it all back. Is low carb forever or not?

CAP BARBELL SITUATION
I started the sl5×5 strength program as a complete novice in march of this year. I purchased a CAP BARBELL weight bench set in march that was basically enough for a beginner.

How does someone end up skinny fat?
Is there a definitive way to guarantee you'll be skinny fat? I've seen people say losing weight too fast, or only doing cardio workouts has made them look skinny fat? Is heavy lifting the answer?

Thinking about taking my food scale to Golden Corral tonight
So I know this may seem obsessive to carry the food scale out to a buffet, but I want to try an experiment if you will. My plan is to see if I can get close to approximate amounts of portion sizes. I'm going to go collect my food on the plate and then bring it back to our table and weigh it. I know from experience no one…

You can't eat that!
So many people actually believe that one must starve themselves while trying to lose weight. Yesterday I made a coffee crumb cake that was on the counter cooling. My sister in law comes by and smells the cinnamon glory wafting through the house. She asks what's that delicious smell? I said I made a coffee crumb cake and I…

First post is a rant please forgive me!
I have been using this App on and off for 6 years. It usually coincides with my trying to lose pregnancy weight. Anyways, I'm not sure what is the point of trying to log and count calories when the average user can't easily log properly. I know I'll get the"Oh I log fine and am losing steadily". But this cannot be the…
