Weighing "everything"
I am having great success with CICO and my food scale. However I have a few nagging questions. I buy individual servings of yogurt, cottage cheese and peanut butter. I haven't been weighing those. Do you actually dump those out and weigh them? Someday I will reach the point of where every calorie will count...someday.…

Vitamin calories
Yikes! I just added up the calories of my daily vitamins. When carefully weighing everything I eat, I've neglected to add 55 calories per day. Is that being over-the -top or something you folks do everyday?

I would appreciate your thoughts...
I get up every morning and strap on my Fitbit. My goal is to move every hour, walk at least 10,000 steps, climb 10 flights of stairs and burn up some calories. I woke up this morning and asked myself why. Being a true believer in CICO and the fact that it does indeed work, I have to ask what is the purpose of all of this…

A real eye opener for me.
I had a major surgery 11 days ago. Finally got on the scale today and I have gained 9 lbs. It took me a month to lose those 9 #!!! My sedentary tdee is 1844. So to gain those 9# I must be averaging 4500 calories per day. The sad part is I bet I don't lose those 9 # in 11 days. Some weight may be water but my stomach and…

Exercise calories
Do your exercise calories push your intake calories below that "safe" number of 1200 calories? I had a fun but diet devastating night last night that added about 2000 calories above my daily allowance. Yikes!! I want to burn it off over the next 6 days. 350 calories of exercise per day should do it. Bad idea? OK idea?

What do these MFP stats tell me?
1200 - 1290. + 329. =239 Goal. Food. Exercise. Remaining The only exercise I log on MFP is what my fitbit sends to MFP. Did I burn 329 calories walking? Thank you.

Change in TDEE
I have lost 8#. I rechecked my TDEE and it dropped by 60 calories. I am already @ the lowest calorie setting of 1200. So it didn't change my plan. How often do you check your TDEE? Does MFP make the adjustment when you log your weight loss? I was very surprised that it changed that much with such a small loss.
-
Calorie accuracy
Do you trust the calorie info listed on packaged and fast food websites? Example: Boston market frozen oven roasted chicken....1 package 290 calories (397 gms) Would you cook it and then weigh it or just log 290 cals?

Is this correct?
58 yo female with 60# to lose. I am eating at a deficit to lose 1-2 lbs per week and exercising to keep as much muscle as possible. Once I reach my goal weight, I will adjust calories to build muscle and maintain the fat loss. Correct? Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Oh to be younger again
Playing with a calorie calculator this morning. 58 yo female 5'8"... ideal weight is 140. To maintain @ 140: Sedentary= 1516 cals per day Light activity= 1737 cals per day Moderate activity= 1958 cals per day. Has anyone else calculated their future? It made me realize that watching calories and exercising is forever! Lol
