Are those taking Wegovy or Ozempic also doing resistance training and increasing protein?
I've seen reports about high amounts of lean mass being lost along with the expected fat loss while on these drugs. I don't know if that's just a side effect of rapid weight loss without resistance training and/or increasing protein, or if the drugs have a more specific effect with lean mass retention. I assume it would be…

I tried last night and now, for Aug-now and for Sep-now, and the site just returns "Uh Oh, problem, return to MFP". Using website.

Is it as simple as weekly CICO?
tldr : If someone maintains a deficit of 400 per day for 6 days of the week, and binges for 2,400 extra for one day, will their weight stay constant? A weekly CICO model would say yes. Is it really that simple? I've been using a spreadsheet to track my daily net calories and weekly weigh-ins, to get a better estimate of…

Six weeks progress over Thanksgiving and Xmas period
I weigh myself once per week, each Monday morning. For the three months before Thanksgiving, I was in the range of 218-222 (tall male). I'm now 224, with a peak of 226 in mid December, so about 4 pounds gained in six weeks. I'm aware that with a weekly snapshot, there could be noise on any given day, but I don't feel the…

Bodyfat test of Alex Eubank and Abigail White
Coach Greg doing a live bodyfat test of both here. Very interesting results. It's enlightening to see the differences here, like a live version of that comparison picture that often gets posted here in the forums. Results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN6JeVt81mo

Why do people track water?
I see in the bugs/complaints sub-forum, numerous posters complaining about some issue tracking their water intake. Why? Do people here typically track their water? If you aren't sure if you're drinking enough, or if you're feeling thirsty, drink more. Yes, it's possible to drink too much but unless you have a specific…

Is a scale like this RENPHO BMI etc. scale worth getting?
I've only ever used a regular scale, and never had my BMI properly checked. As I get closer to my target weight, I was wondering if I should upgrade to something like this, so I can better track progress rather than only looking at weight. This rechargeable scale costs a bit more than the battery version, and I think I'd…

About the tracking of exercise calories
So I add the calories from exercise, and things have been going well for many months. I was thinking about this scenario today: Let's say I burn 250 calories in half an hour on the exercise bike. And say my TDEE is around 2200 calories, which is about 90 per hour on average, to make it easy let's call that 100 per waking…

Can oatmeal plus protein powder be good?
I love oatmeal with milk, but I don't often have it recently because the protein to calories ratio isn't to my liking. So I figured I'd add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. And it was utterly horrendous. It seems I did screw up by adding the powder at the start instead of the end when it was boiling. I added some extra…

Why are the daily goal calories targets different between the site and the app?
On the site, my daily goals calories number is 210 higher than on the app. So when I use the site today, it looks like I've had a small calorie deficit for the day, but when I use the app it says I've gone over.
