Eating without thinking
I eat at 9am because it's "breakfast time", not because I'm hungry. I eat at 12pm because it's "lunch time", not because I'm hungry. The same happens with dinner.

Smart ones, lean cuisine.... A good idea?
I'm on a 1200cal/day diet. I don't haves lot of time to cook and prepare meals, especially for lunch. Are frozen meal entrees like smart ones and lean cuisine a good idea? I see they're low in calories but very high in sodium. Would I be better off take a meal replacement shake like slim fast instead?

Eating below bmr, isn't that bad?
I've read, if you want to lose weight, don't net below your bmr. Then why do some people have a daily calorie goal of 1200? Won't that just put your body into starvation mode? Any anything you eat will, be stored away? Im not finding the logic to this. I need to lose 25lb and my daily calorie intake is 1625 and I don't net…

Is the machine correct or MFP??? Calories burned
When I use the elliptical, it tells me how many calories I burn. But when I log in my efforts on MFP and I put in the number of minutes performed, it gives me a different # of calories burned as much as 150cal difference. What do I go by? The elliptical machine does have an area on handles to measure heart rate.

Can this be counted as excercise?
I work in a deli. I'm on my feet for 8hours/day. Can I log this in as walking at a slow pace? I'm not sure if I can count this or not because it's not like I'm continuously walking for 8 hours( as if on a track and my heart is pumping fast). Instead of logging it for 8 hrs, maybe do 4 hours instead.
