How to pick "base" calories
Hello, I am no stranger to MFP. I've lost just over 100lbs. I am on my last 15ish pounds now and the same math isn't working. To lose the weight previously I ate 1700 calories plus half my exercise calories back. I am currently training for a 1/2 marathon and do hot yoga. Some days my burn is 800-1100 calories, rest days I…

Intake fluctuation effect metabolism?
I am working with a trainer (who I will also ask this question to) but some days I am happy and full at 1700 and some days I'm at 2100 and feel like I'm starving to death. My daily goal right now is 2000. Will a swing of this much, say 400 calories, day to day have a negative impact on my metabolism long term?

How to measure ribs
I am going to have dry rubbed ribs tonight. Do I measure them, eat, then reweigh bones and subtract that to get the Oz? Or is the bone included on the Oz?

Skinny pop popcorn
Why am I so confused? I'm not new to calorie counting or mfp... Is this just sticker shock? One bag is seriously 650 calories? How is that skinny?

The last 15lbs- get stronger
Hello! I am just over a year in this journey, from 219lbs, 5 foot 2, size 16 pants and XL shirt. I am now 150lbs, size 2 Jean's an small shirts. I would like to concentrate now on toning/muscle rather then just my end number. I have also found a love for running, but I am getting burnt out on running endless miles with no…

Help my exercise program
I have lost 60lbs now, I am down to losing 1lb a week and about 20lbs to go (I think). I run 5k about 3x a week and a 10k 1x to 2x a week. I want to add weight lifting as I've heard that will get me the results I'm looking for, the weight at this point is just a number. Should I run less to lift more? Should I lift on…

Pain in foot training for 10ks
I've been running 5 K's for about 2 months now and decided to increase my mileage. I'm doing the 5K to 10K program and I'm running about five miles now. I'm having significant toe pain on my right foot just in one toe. Google told me to try a half size larger tennis shoe but even walking around I felt like I was flopping…

5'2 down 50+ pounds

I am lightly active, eat what MFP gives me for calories and eat back approx half my exercise calories. 5'2", SW 210, CW 155 GW 🤷🏼♀️ 130s? I started in a size 16…

Serving size in recipes
Is there any easy way to figure out how much (oz or grams) of a recipe that I create? I struggle with making crockpot meals and then figuring out how many calories are in them and how much is a serving. I am making chicken chili tonight and am not sure how to log it for serving size. 1 1/2 lb uncooked boneless skinless…

Officially only overweight
Today is a big day! I am now only overweight, when I started out on the edge of morbidly obese. I have a bit to go yet, but I'm honestly not even worried about it. I KNOW I will get there and I KNOW that when I do, I'll be capable of maintenance. Such an amazing feeling! I am 5'2, my highest weight was 210 and I wore size…

Let's talk about boobs
I've lost 33lbs so far, 23 inches off my body, and 5 of those inches are from my once awesome C cups. I have about 40ish more pounds to lose, and am worried about my super sad barely there A cups. Are there any exercises to perk the boobs? I know I can't spot reduce and I'm not asking to. Just want to know if anything…

Can this be right?
Could someone look at my diary? I'm just so confused. I had my fitbit synced (versa) for about a week and it was giving me like 500-1000 calories on top of my 1400. I panicked and stopped syncing them because that is A LOT of food to also lose weight. Is this right? I average 11500 steps a day, a high end is about 16000 on…

To sync or not to sync
I had my fitbit synced (versa) for about a week and it was giving me like 500-1000 additional calories on top of my 1400. I panicked and stopped syncing them because that is A LOT of food to also lose weight. Is this right? I average 11500 steps a day, a high end is about 16000 on days I exercise, if I only work and do…

Herbalife- is this in my head?
My entire office used to get donuts almost every morning together, we would walk there and "justify it" that way. Ha! Anyway, now we are all on mfp and one of the girls is very into doing the herbalife meal replacement shops. We started all going as a group over the last month or so each morning. This is my question, I had…

Help with giant panda nutrition
Okay, I can not for the life of me figure out what giant pandas nutrition is. I had a small honey walnut shrimp, no sides, just a small container of the shrimp. Every single place (pandas website, mfp, google sites) all day 3.7oz is 360 cals, but I didn't bring my dang food scale with me to the restaurant! How can they not…

Fitbit question
If I am syncing my fitbit over, should my base calories be set at 1200 for sedentary and then take the adjustment? Or do i have it set at the 1500 for lightly active plus the adjustment? But that seems like double dipping.

Fitbit daily goals vs mfp
I am 5'2, 27 year old female, I am 198lb (started at 206 about 3 weeks ago). I have fitbit and mfp set to losing 2lb a week and I am getting different daily goals. Mfp says 1500 and Fitbit says 1750. I am not eating back exercise calories. Some days I am satisfied on 1300 calories, sometimes I feel like I'm starving on…
