I’m 5’5 and When i last left I was 230 and now I’m 260! 😬 I’m very uneducated in health matters and what works best but I’ve come across some sites that discuss calorie cycling like eating more on intense workout days and less on rest…

Mental changes towards food
How long did it take you to unlearn your bad food habits? For me, I skip meals, eat fast food, eat til im stuffed, and overeat. Probably a few other bad habits too. It's what I've done pretty much since I was 8 years old. Being on and off mfp has helped somewhat but not as much as I thought. How did you stick to making…

Eating under BMR?
Is it safe? And if so, by how much? Just wondering because some of the calorie calculators suggested in the helpful posts said my bmr is 1529-1835 but to lose 2 lbs a week, mfp suggested eating 1490. Is this ok?

Hello! I recently got my gallbladder taken out (Tuesday!) and I’m a little lost here with what foods are best to eat. Writing here hopefully to see if anyone can recommend meals/dishes/foods that I can eat since I’ve been on a soup diet the past few days and I’m getting over it!

Calories burned in yoga
Does it differ for everyone based on weight and types of yoga? I came across to thinking about it yesterday and found this site I believe is similar to mfp from the looks of it but what are your thoughts? I just want to make sure that the calories are accurate. I do ashtanga/vinyasa.…

Clean eating diaries to follow
If anyone has a clean eating diary they wouldn't mind sharing Id love to see it! :) I need more inspiration and new ideas for my meals. I'm looking for people who have 1,200-1,600 calorie goals.

If every day were like today..
You'd weight X amount in 5 weeks. When you complete your diary and it gives this number, how accurate is it?

What is your activity level set at?
And why did you choose that setting? I'm at a loss to set it between lightly active or active. I'm not too sure :/ I think I'm more lightly active?

Sodium intake
Do you follow the amount that mfp gave you? I know it makes you retain water if you have too much so I just want to know if what the number they gave is ok? My amount is 2,300 mg. I usually don't go over but sometimes I do. I'm lightly active, 26, 5'5, and 220 pounds.

How low is "low carb?"
And does it apply to healthy carbs as well to keep them low too or just bad ones? Has anyone had more success with low carb than with just following the numbers mfp gives? Just wondering since I scrolled through the success stories I noticed a good chunk boast about low carb helped them to lose a lot so it got me thinking.

Digital or not
Which scale has been most accurate to you? I'm looking to buy one but not sure if I should get it digital or not. I've been digitally weighing myself at work (vet office lol) but sometimes the numbers can be weird but would like one at home.

8 days and no loss
Hello everyone I have been counting my calories and keeping them low since July and was losing great amounts around 1-2 pounds a week. But these last 8 days have showed me different results of no loss. I haven't done anything that different except I am not exercising as much as I was but even then that was sparingly and…

"Soft" exercises anyone? Lol
So... I have a painful horrible nasty bloody ingrown toenail that limits what I do. I still do a lot of walking at work (2,000-4,000 steps depending on the day). I WAS exercising 30 minutes a day doing like a circuit video on YouTube but found I could only do around 20% of it because then my toe would be throbbing! I'll be…

High satiety and low calorie
Could anyone recommend some ideas for snacks and meals that will keep me full til the next meal but are low calorie? Some days I like to just think about eating 3 meals but other days I'm in the mood for smaller ones but struggle snacks in between as they don't hold me over. I find I'm most hungriest around 2-7 for…

Parents-need your help
I'm looking to buy a sturdy stroller not ridiculously priced for when I go hiking on a terrain trail. There's some good sized rocks that the one we have now struggles through. For the most part it's a pretty even road except for all the rocks. Can anyone recommend a good stroller to use hiking on trails/going uphill?

Manage macros?
How do you all manage your macros? Some days I get all my targets, others days I'm under or over in areas. Does anyone have a plan that they follow everyday to meet and not go over/under? Is that being too restricting?

Asking a weird/ possibly dumb question here but I'm starting my 30 day shred workouts tomorrow but I'm also starting my cardio class at school at the end of august.. so in all honestly and not much knowledge of exercise/dieting.. is it possible to be too much working out? I've got a lot to lose ( 80 pounds) and I think I…

Whey protein
Is it ok to drink after a workout if I already drink a plant based meal replacement for breakfast? I like the ingredients in my morning one (garden of life raw organic protein) but my bf got a sample of whey protein by nitro tech called whey gold and I see bulky people on the front and get skeptical because I know I will…
