Is there anything you don't bother to log?
I know the general consensus is to log every single thing that passes our lips, but is there anything you don't bother to write down? I don't log vinegar, soy sauce, Tabasco, fresh and dried herbs, low calorie spray oil, spices, sweetener, diet soda like Coke Zero, and there's a certain brand of jerk paste I buy that…

Deep frying
I'm currently having a love affair with sliced pickles - I ate an entire jar of them with lunch - so I want to try making deep fried pickles next. I can calculate the calories in the pickles and in the flour to coat them, but what about the oil? I know that if the oil is hot enough then it'll limit how much oil is absorbed…

I'm starting to struggle!
I have ALWAYS been fat. ALWAYS. For various different reasons, food became an emotional crutch and I never learned to give it up. So, here I am. I'm 29 and I'm the heaviest I have ever been. Well - not quite! I joined MFP at the heaviest I've ever been and now I'm 17lbs lighter. I have no intentions of giving up, but it's…

MFP's calorie goal
If MFP won't give you a goal of less than 1200, WHY DOES IT LET PEOPLE SET THEIR OWN GOAL BELOW 1200?! It did this way before it rolled out the option of changing calorie goals for every day of the week. I don't get it. Surely it goes against the whole "we don't promote VLC diets" thing if people can set their general…

How often do you log your weight?
I know people weigh themselves daily, weekly, whatever, but how often do you make a note of your weight on MFP? I weigh myself once a week on a Monday morning and usually log my weight loss then. But I've been toying with the idea of still weighing myself each Monday morning but only logging it on the 1st of every month.…

Womp womp womp... this was not a good week.
I'm ending today almost 1900 calories over my daily recommendation and I'm ending the week almost 3200 over my weekly goal. Not great! I'm trying to keep in mind the fact that I'm at a 7000 calorie deficit, so even though I'm over by 3200, that still leaves me with enough of a deficit to lose at least 1lb. And I'm not…

Single serving cupcake?
I've found recipes for these online but I have yet to find one that tastes as good as the boxed mixed kind. I have made 2 ingredient cupcakes before (box mix + soda) so has anyone tried doing this but as a single serving? I'm assuming it's a case of dividing the box mix by 12 and the amount of diet soda by 12. If I'm…

Emoji question...
This might seem stupid but if I use an emoji and then keep on typing, once I hit send it will show nothing I've written after the emoji. And no emoji. WHAT IS THIS DEVILRY?

Logging eggs
I log pretty much everything by weight/volume, except sometimes pre-packed servings like, I dunno, granola bars and the like. But I've never logged eggs before. Should I do those by weight as well? And does anyone know the calories of eggs per 100g?

Uses for muesli?
I got a big bag of Swiss style muesli in my Degustabox but I'm not a fan of eating it plain for breakfast so I am wondering if anyone has recipes that include muesli as an ingredient?

Motivation/support needed.
I first joined MFP about a month ago and lost 14lbs in 3 weeks (because I'm fat and the losses come thick and fast at the beginning - not because I was under-eating). But somewhere along the line I got frustrated and fed up, and ended up deleting my account. But now I'm back again and I'd like to ride the "this sucks" and…
