Swimming for calories??
I am 5'4" and 216 down for 225 in the last few weeks. I just recently started entering my swimming calories into my day. I wasn't aware that was something you could enter into MFP. MFP is saying when i leisurely swim 60 minutes I burned 568 calories. I do stay moving the whole time and I stay in the deep end so I'm always…

Fasting after a cheat??
So I decided to have a cheat meal a week. Not a day or anything and to eat it with my usual fat food. So tonight I had a huge salad and a slice and a half of medium pizza. I still only consumed 67 total carbs today but it's more than my usual which I am trying to stay under 40ish. Anyways my question is does anyone fast…

Go buy this NOW!
Literally the best thing I've eaten. The cheese is $2.99 at Aldi's and I made crisp out of it in the oven with two cut up pepperonis and dipped it into low carb marinara. 1 net carb or 2 total carbs for the four crisp, pepperoni and sauce and only 115 calories. It seriously taste just like pizza with the oil and sauce and…

Diet soda and LCHF...?
So I've read so many articles that are all over the place on this. I drink about 1 liter of diet Dr Pepper a day. I also get almost a gallon of water in as well. I'm a big drinker. It doesn't trigger cravings for me and actually helps me when I am craving something sweet to grab a cup. Is this really such a bad thing?…

Do you consider it cheating?
So if you have a lot of carbs left over and you have a higher carb item and it's all within your carb limit do you consider it a cheat? I had a 4 count Wendy's nugget today for 10 total carbs and I'm all within my limit for today. I still feel kind of bad that I ate it but at the same time I stick to 30 total carbs a day…

Lower calorie dressing options?!?
I usually hate low calorie dressings. I'm a full fat ranch lover and hate the light stuff but I have found two dressings I actually REALLY like. Ken's lite honey mustard is amazing also Olive Garden Light Italian. I usually can't stand Italian but this one is so good and flavorful. You can see the Parmesan and stuff in it…

Carb cycling?
From what I understand it is eating lower carbs somedays and having higher carb days as well. I was wondering if anyone has any success with this. I'm not talking crazy numbers just under 50 total carbs during the week and maybe under 75 during the weekend??

Mini watermelon??
I had half a mini seedless watermelon and I didn't weigh in before or measure as I wasn't home. What would you guys count it as. The watermelon whole was the size of an average toddler head (lmao I'm not good at comparisons)

Food help!!!
So I am preplanning for my husbands birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse. I always have the blue cheese wedge salad as my side. I always remembered it being super calorie heavy (it has a wedge of iceburg, tomatoes, onions, bacon, blue cheese crumbles, sweet balsamic reduction and chunky blue cheese dressing) but when I…

Exercising for more food??
So I changed my weigh in day to Friday from Monday. I used to do Friday's on WW and always found it motivating to go in fresh for the weekend with a new set of calories. I base my calories on a weekly goal. So I know if I over eat one day I have to balance it out before weigh in day to lose. I have lost 12 pounds in the…

Frying in oil? Calories?
I went to my fathers house tonight for dinner. I made onion rings that were measured out and waiting for 210 Cals. They were the flash frozen kind that were already battered and fried. I then heated them in vegetable oil until cooked and crispy. I know for sure the measured amount before cooking was 210 calories.…
