My Fitness Pal and FitBit
Can someone please explain to me why the 'calories burned' in MFP is only a fraction of the 'calories burned' in Fitbit? for the same day and, when you check MFP the next day (for the previous day) it goes down instead of up after doing more activity at the end of the previous day, that is reflected in FitBit? p.s., I only…

Protein Bar Update
Has anyone heard of/tried Julian Bakery protein bars? The numbers almost seem to good to be true. I do have my favorite flavors. Which have you tried? and do you pick protein bars based on the content of protein, calories, carbs, fiber (net carbs) and of course taste?

FitBit entries vs MyFitnessPal
I just purchased a FitBit and am loving it. Do I still enter my daily exercise in MyFitnessPal as I used to and let FitBit do what it does as well or omit exercise in MFP alltogether? I do know that I only enter food eaten in MFP. TIA

Food Diary/Journal

I am going through a health issue and have been asked to avoid supplements so I am counting of getting everything I need from food. Thing is, I have not found a section that breaks…

Whey Protein
I was given some wonderful advice and product selection when I first tried whey protein (you know who you are). Now that I'm almost finished my first batch, I'd like to find one with "Stevia" and not another type of sweetener. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Being available in Canada and at the retail level would be a…

Assigned BMR
Whether you're 4'10" or 5' (like me) It appears, for health and metabolic reasons, that MFP assigns no less than 1,200 daily calories as a baseline. If infact the true BMR is lower than 1,200 calories but should never go below that, how would this effect weight loss progress for someone on the low end of the height chart…

To eat or not to eat
It's so easy to lose weight, I've done it a thousand times...lol Keeping it off...now that's my weakness. Currently, I'm back on track and in the process of losing the weight I gained (again). I weigh myself once a week in a group situation at the fitness club and my question is, does it make a difference whether I eat or…

Curves, yes or no? To hydraulic or not to hydraulic?
I have been working out at Curves, both the Zumba (love it) and the Cardio Circuit Classes. I am losing weight, mostly I'm sure because I'm eating well and 'moving'. Part of the circuit classes includes hydraulic machines. Does anyone know if using (their) hydraulic machines is effective? And, because weight is not…

Mobile MFP App
I'm loving the MFP mobile app and use it all the time to log and update my info. I've also been using it to scan package bar codes on foods that I'm entering for the first time to determine if the item is already in the database so that I can avoid duplicationg the entry. Sometimes I notice that the barcode is in fact…

A Pain In The Neck
OK, so not so much in the neck but the shoulders... I get this extreme deep burning pain, that at one time affected only the right shoulder but now without discrimination also appears in my left. Difference is, the pain in the left is a deep deep pinch along with the burn, both equally unbearable. The pain is random but is…

iPhone Apps
Has anyone found and tried an iPhone pedometer app that works well and counts Steps, Calories Burned, Speed and Distance and that you can pause and resume when necessary and, one that will not be affected by phone calls (incoming but not answered), texts etc.? There are so many to choose from and I prefer to have some…

5 ft tall...1,200 calories...vegetarian diet
Any other 5 ft vegetarian females with a pre-exercise calorie goal of 1,200 calories who do not eat packaged foods/added sugar? How do you do it, how do you reach 1,200 calories and even more when you exercise and still keep within the percentages?

Fiber
I was under the impression that everyone should aim for a minumum of 25 grams of fiber per day; men even higher.. My fiber goal is set at 14 and no matter what other changes I make to my goals, the fiber number stays the same.. Can I change it manually? Does anyone know the reason for this low number? Thanks.

Reaching Daily Calories
After determining that females should never go below 1,200 calories a day (even for someone 5 ft ) with the great help of MFP, I find that I reach and often exceed my protein and fat percentages without coming close to 1,200 calories; I deliberately keep the carbs on the low-mid to high-mid side without depriving myself of…
