Reducing fat, sugar and salt
I have talked with a dietician and read articles that suggest you rinse all canned vegetables and fruits. Most of the salt and sugar by 75%. I also read that 90% lean beef is best. Them same article suggests that if you can only afford the 80% you can brown it and then rinse it to reduce the fat content. Has anyone tried…

Frustrated
See here is my problem. I get up this morning ready to eat normal healthy food. I fix myself something my mom called a hole- in the - bread. Basically you take a piece of bread (whole wheat ) and you take a small circle out of the middle. You crack an egg and fry it( no butter just cooking spray) I ate this and an apple…

Choose MyPlate
Does MFP use the same dietary guidelines that is on the choose MyPlate website? They use to have a “super tracker” and I kinda miss it. How do you incorporate their information on this app? Is it any different? If so how is it different?

Exercise vs diet
I had a doctor tell me once that diet was had more of an impact on weight loss than exercise. She did not say that exercise wasn’t important.

Weight lifting with diastas Recti
I was hoping to get back into a little bit of weight lifting. Are there any exercises I should not do? What about bench press and lay bar? Are they ok with a diastas recti? I am not looking to lift major weight.

Calories
My dietician wants me to stick to 1600 calories each day. MFP keeps changing it to 1300 calories. I change it an the next day MFP changes it back. Why does it keep changing. I have even increased my activity.

Progress
I really started this journey back in the fall of 2018. I had been taking an antidepressant. I weighed at that time 207 lbs! January of 2019 I went in to get my flu shot. I was 197lbs.

Healthy food
My doctor had me make an appointment with a nutritionist. She told me that I should focus more on plant based foods. Less on meat and dairy products. She also said that the pasta was healthier than the meat even if it is not always whole grain. That carbs are more important and healthy then meat. My husband tells me corn…

Nutrition Question
My husband is bringing home Garozzo’s tonight. We usually get the Chicken Soeidini special. It comes with a large salad and pasta. I eat all the salad. 3 chicken medallions. I don’t eat the pastas. I don’t know the measurements to any of the food. The restaurant does not list nutrition facts. I am not sure if the ones…

Step Tracker
I don’t always have my iPhone on me. I also don’t have a Fitbit or any other device that connects to my iPhone. I do have a small pedometer but it doesn’t connect to anything. My question is can I manually log my steps and if so how do I accomplish this. Thank you.

Diastasis Recti
My doctor said I had a diastasis recti. I asked her how much of one. She said it was too hard to tell with all the fat tissue in the way. I asked her about exercises to fix it. She insisted that they don’t work and it was something I had to live with. How do I get back into shape if I don’t know what exercises are good for…

Self Loathing
Yesterday I did great on staying with in my calories. Today I was going good. Until I ate too many snacks tonight. Now I feel like giving up. My husband thinks this calorie counting is too ridged. Doe anyone else have trouble staying within their calories? I also find it hard to get away from my family long enough to go…

Diasatis recti
I went to see my doctor. She checked me for a diasaisis recti. She said I had one but could not tell how big the gap was. She said that there was a lot of fat in the way and made it difficult to tell how deep the gap was. She also said that the repair exercises were not that helpful. Just like the kagel exercises they tell…

Recti diastasis
Anyone know about recti diastasis. I asked my doctor once but he acted like he was not worried about it. He kind of made me feel like I was being neurotic about it.Would the people at the Y know? I have not been working my core because I can’t tell if I have one. Should I worry about it or just work my core as usual.
