too much fat? not enough carbs?
Well, I've been tracking every bite for the last three days and am definitely noticing a trend. While I have no problem staying under my calorie goal, I am consistently way too high on fat and protein and low on carbs. I am Ok about the protein because I am trying to gain muscle and have read that extra protein is good for…

Glad to be back
So around Thanksgiving, I decided I wanted a break from calorie counting. I intended on a momentary respite from the rigors of dieting accountability. Well its been about three months of fast food binging and zero exercise. The damage: The scale says five pounds and a 1.8% increase in body fat. I tend to think my body…

Taking a break from it all
I haven't logged my calories for a few days and have been eating whatever I want and not making exercise a requirement. I think I was fixating a little too much on my body. I means what's the point if you aren't enjoying the journey. I think its Ok to take a detour every now and then. I have every intent to get back on the…

Lesson Learned: One bad day does not matter a hill of beans
I had been doing pretty good with watching my calories until a birthday celebration about a week ago. On that day, I went hog wild and ate over a thousand extra calories. The next day I steppedon the scale and found I was up over two pounds. I was disappointed and felt like I blew it. I posted on MFP the about it, and got…

I've got 1300 calories to blow, what should I do.
I played 36 holes of golf today, burning close to 2000 extra calories. I had a nice breakfast, a big lunch, a good dinner, and even a little treat. I still am under by 1300 calories. What should I do? Splurge on something tasty, go to bed with a big deficit, or force myself to eat something healthy eventhough I am not…

tapas logging nightmare
Well I had one half of about eight different tiny portions of dishes tonight, almost none of which is your standard fare. I did the best I could. MFP is just not meant for tapas restaurants. Took me more time to log the food than it did to eat it.

I blew it today
Due to time constraints and an oncoming cold, I took the day off from exercise. I was going to my dad's birthday party, so I ate light for breakfast and lunch, but I wasn't expecting to consume nearly two thousand calories between dinner, cake, and ice cream. Oh well, back on it tomorrow. I really need to avoid my parents…

Anybody got any goals for the month of November?
I want to log all my food and stay under calories every day in November. I want to lose at least 6 pounds and would be very happy if I can get my body fat percentage below 17%. I plan on increasing my high intensity cardio, which I have kind of been slacking on in favor of playing golf .

Great free weight loss tool.
I really enjoy listening to cutthefatpodcast.com audio segments each one is about half an hour and the hosts are very knowledgeable. There are about 30 of them. I listen to one each night at bedtime.

Anybody experiencing jealousy from friends?
I have a female friend who is a little overweight but still very beautiful. I have recently lost 25 pounds, going from 190 to 165. For a 5'8" man, that is still slightly overweight. I have been lifting weights and am starting to get stronger and more muscular. By no means am I thin. Yet this friend every time she sees me…

Watchng Sodium? Beware of Sushi!!!
Seems like MFP gives me a new revelation each day. I thought I did well with my diet today, until I looked at my figures and say I consumed over 5000 milligrams of sodium. As many of us know sodium leads to water retention and therefore bloating and higher weights on the scale, so I am watching it along with my calories…

What's the most you have burned?
I played golf this Sunday. 18 holes walking, carrying my bag. It took 3 hours 45 mins. I was shocked to find out I burned 1285 calories. Thats like a Big Mac and large fries, not that I would indulge in that nastiness. I didn't trust the calculator, so even though I did eat a lot of calories that day, I left 500 in the…
