Logging ground beef
Just wondering- we purchase our beef from a local farm. This beef is grain and grass fed. How do you log this? We do not know the percentage of lean to fat. I tried logging today and so many choices. I hate to go with just generic or whatever.

Back again!
I’m back after a long hiatus and two foot surgeries! And still struggling. Same old same old- it seems no matter what I do, I can’t find the right formula for weight loss. I’m the highest weight I’ve ever been. I’m 45yrs old, 5’8 and 196lbs on a good day. I have discovered in recent months that gluten no longer agrees with…

Raw Veggies...maybe TMI!

I try to get up and move during the day but even then it's seems like i still have the gas. I've heard that taking a probiotic can help? is this true?

FitBit
So I just rode my recumbent bike for 45 minutes. My FitBit says I only burned 70 calories?!!! I had it on pleateau, level 17. Avg speed was 18.5mph. This can't be right, or can it? This bike I can put in my weight and it said I burned 364 calories, which I know isn't totally accurate either, but......

Lara Bars

My tdee -20% is 1652. So i am supposed to eat 1652 calories everyday, correct? But if i exercise and burn 400-500 calories, doesnt that take my calories down to 1200, which is too low? With tdee you dont eat back exercise calories, so im just tyring to understand!

STUCK
I kinda fell off the wagon. I was logging consistent and exercising. But wasn't losing......and I exercise regularly also. Well I wasn't losing. In fact, I've gained weight.
