If you don't have it, download it for free - You won't be sorry. Second - You will need to install a script into Firefox (like a…

Grapes?!??!
Ok, I cannot for the life of me find the correct database entries for grapes. I've been logging them as: grapes-raw which are 62 calories per cup. However, when you Google the nutritonal data, a ton of different numbers come up. I typically eat red or green seedless grapes. There are TONS of entries in the database and I…

Yukon Gold Potatoes
I don't eat potatoes every day, maybe once a week, and when I do, I eat Yukon Gold Potatoes. I usually microwave one and eat the skin as well. I cannot find an accurate entry for this anywhere in the MFP database. I've been using "Yukon Gold - Yellow Flesh Potatoes" but it is something someone entered. it says 1 medium…

Fitbit/Aria App Question
So, while having some issues with Fitbit today, I went into my apps to disconnect my Fitbit app from MFP and I noticed that I have the Aria app connected as well. I never connected this APP myself. So I disconnected the Fitbit app and the Aria app disappeared as well. When I add back the Fitbit app, it automatically adds…

Problems with future brother-in-law
Some background: My sister has been dating this guy for over a year now and lives with him. From Day 1, my husband never really liked him. They are just two TOTALLY different people - which is fine. They don't need to be best friends. He recently proposed to my sister so now this guy is going to be in our lives forever.…

Confusion about Net Calories
So I have a fitbit synched with MFP. In the morning, MFP will give me a lower calorie goal number based off what it thinks I'm going to burn (usually in the morning my goal is around 1250 because my TDEE is around 1750). As the day goes on, and my fitbit records that I'm burning more calories, MFP slowly begins increasing…

Exercise when synced with MFP
This may be a stupid question but.. I understand we're only supposed to log our exercise on MFP and NOT on FB. Before I had synched FB and MFP, I would set my FB timer and then manually update the activity to reflect what I had done (pilates). Now that they are synched, will MFP automatically overide whatever FB has…

Quick Calorie Question
I am a 36 y/o female, 5'2" tall, currently weight 181.8 lbs. I have tried 4 different TDEE calculators and they all give me the following: BMR: 1562-1565 TDEE - 1874-1878 I based the calculator off of "no exercise/desk job" because I sit at a desk for 8 hrs a day and sit around a lot at home. However, I am also now doing…

Body Fat Calculation Question (IPOARM)
I am using the IPOARM spreadsheet to calculate my calories each week. I have been using the average body fat % calculation that the spreadsheet gives me, rather than using one of the actual calculations. I'm noticing that my weight loss hasn't been so great lately, so I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't be using that…

Activity Level Question
I'm trying to accurately determine my activity level. I've always had it set to sedentary, but when using the IPOARM spreadsheet, it asks for additional hours of walking throughout the day. I drive to work and start at 8:30 am. I sit at my desk pretty much all day, and leave usually around 3:30 pm to drive home. When I get…

Is eating 4% below BMR really that bad?
So I constantly hear that it is bad to eat below BMR - but some say it is ok. My activity level right now is sedentary. I have 41 lbs to lose til goal. My BMR is 1547. My TDEE is 1856. TDEE - 20 % = 1484 - this is 63 calories below BMR and about 4%. I'd like to just set my daily calorie goal at 1484, is this still…

Question about daily calorie goal
I posted this question in the middle of another thread, so I figure it would probably be overlooked there, but I'm really looking for an answer: In order to lose weight, you need to create a deficit for the week, right? So for example, if you are allowed let's say 1400 calories per day x 7 days = 9800 calories for the…

What do you think of this exercise bike?
I'm thinking about getting a bike to start doing some kind of cardio at home. I came across this one which is highest rated on Amazon and right within my budge: http://www.amazon.com/Exerpeutic-Folding-Magnetic-Upright-Pulse/dp/B007595TKU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=382LQFM8U1LVI&coliid=IV9QR3336WKLA Anybody have…

TDEE Help
I am a little confused about how the TDEE is calculated on Fat2Fit calculators: Military Fat Calculator - 40.7% Goal Body Weight - 135 pounds BMR- 1421 TDEE- 1649 (this is based on my GOAL weight and SEDENTARY -- I do not excercise). So to lose weight, is there a deficit already included in the 1649? Or am I supposed to…

Need lower carb snack ideas!
So, usually after dinner, I want a snack before I go to bed, and by then I've eaten most of my carbs for the day. So I'm looking for some lower carb snack ideas that I can have at night. Keep in mind, I don't like Raw veggies! I also don't want to eat an egg at night, and I'd prefer it to be something filling. If I wasn't…

BMR & TDEE - So confused
I posted this in the middle of another thread but I thought it might be easier to start a new one: Ok, I've been confused about this since Day 1, for some reason, I'm just not getting it.

Speaking of shoes
The other shoe thread got me thinking.. I have been looking for knee high boots for what seems like forever. My calves are 16" so I have a hard time finding knee high boots that fit me. I'm also 5'2" and I don't like wearing flat boots - and to top things off, anything with a heel kills my feet, so my only option (which I…

Zig Zag Calories
I know that this topic is often posted about but I didn't see any super recent ones.. It seems like I've hit a minor plateau.. haven't lost anything the last two weeks, and I just discovered Zig Zag calories. Looking back over the past 4 months, it does seem like I had better weight loss when my calories weren't consistent…

Great Website for ordering healthy food
I have purchased some food in the past from this store. I love that all of the nutrition info and ingredients are listed, so you know exactly what you are ordering. She has a large variety of lowfat, low carb and gluten free foods. I especially love the Fiber Gourmet mac & cheese (and they sell the Shirataki noodles for…
