Negative calorie adjustment?
Hi I’m sure this has been asked a lot but I couldn’t find a recent post. I’ve done a lot of research on the negative calories thing and it’s really confusing me. I have my goal set to lose 1.5 lbs/week and set to lightly active. Which, I think is accurate. I have horses and have a large yard so I do yard work a lot, haul…

Question about being in shape?? Contradicting body.
Hi everyone.. This is something that has confused me for awhile now. I am in shape. My body is strong, my endurance is great. When I go hiking I'm climbing (all uphill) faster than anyone else and not breaking a sweat. I could hike up and down hills for hours and I'm perfectly fine. When I go to the gym I can do 30 min…

Thighs?
Hi everyone! So I am a fairly active, young girl at a healthy weight and good BMI (I would like to lose a few more pounds but don't need to, health wise) but I am very uncomfortable with my thighs... they jiggle quite a bit. I've seen super skinny girls with thighs that bounce (probably from losing a lot of weight at some…

A one week fast.. questions??
A few friends of mine and I are going to fast (some of us for different reasons). I personally want to do it for the mind and bosy cleansing. I wouldn't mind losing a couple pounds in the process but that's definitely not my goal of fasting. I need some tips from everyone at MFP as to recommendations for doing this so it…

Good cheesy pasta recipes anyone?
So the store had the Italian cheese on sale this week for 3.49. It's usually 7+ bucks for 8 ounces. O.O But anyway, I want a really good pasta recipe that uses as much pasta and cheese as you can think of. And delicious of course :) Tuesday I have a really long work day and should be burning around 1500 calories that day…

What time do you eat?
Since I've started working, I eat when I have time. If I don't have time I just go hungry. :P Usually I skip breakfast (Yeah, I know, most important meal of the day blah blah... I actually seem to gain weight if I eat bfast, don't know why...) For other meals I eat late. Lunch is usually around 2ish or after, dinner could…

Bottomless pit ATM
So, tonight I have been a bottomless pit. I blew lunch today thinking I would eat very little for dinner (which usually happens if I work at the luau, which I did). I had some white rice and chicken during break and just had some peanut butter crackers, but I still feel like I could eat another hearty dinner. I'm already…

Unsaturated fat
I'm really wanting to get more unsaturated fat in my diet. The problem is most things that contain unsaturated fat are really high in calories, such as canola or vegetable oil.. or olive oil. They have a calorie content of 100+ per tablespoon. Any good foods I can eat? I've read fish does but fish can be hard to get here…

Calling all unhealthy eaters out there..
Sooo the more I explore the forums the more I see that so many people on MFP eat very healthy, such as veggies, fruits, low/no fat foods, no sugar foods, organic, etc, etc. all the time. Maybe have the occasional cookie. I think that's great and I commend all who can do it. But for me, I can't eat like that. My diet…

Is there anyone else that can't eat their burned calories???
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if I even think about eating back the calories I burned off I always manage to gain weight. I know that MFP automatically calculates how many net calories you should be eating and all, and that you should be able to eat back your burned calories. I work at a labor intensive job and…
