Do you find the macro info in food on here accurate?
as it says really. My dh has spent ages doing our menus and using the info on the foods (via the shops website) to get us a good balance of macros 40-50% protein, 30-40% carbs, 20% fat goals. Then comparing the foods he's put in to make sure we're within those goals. Yet everyday mfp has much lower protein, and much higher…

Polar HRM question
my polar hrm has died so I borrowed my husband's this morning when I popped out for a bike ride. I was extremely surprised to see it saying I had burnt 310 calories in 25 minutes!! I usually do focus t25 which is 25 mins of hard work and I burn about 310 cals more or less. I was surprised because the bike ride was easy…

Eating enough/getting enough protein vs only eating when hungry. Thoughts? What do you do?
Sorry is this is elsewhere but I'm feeling a bit confused. MFP has my calories set at 1550. I'm 5'8 and 229lbs (aiming for around 168lbs). I'm quite sedentary apart from my exercise (and chasing a 13 month old around). I'm still feeding my daughter so I upped my calories to 1600. I'd lost a lot of weight before i got…

Has anyone done it twice?
I'm struggling to be motivated!! I was fat my whole life, then in 2011 I started changing things, what I ate, then added exercise, within 18 months i had gone from 255lbs to fluctuating between 175 - 182 lbs. I'm 5ft 8 so i looked good but i wanted to lose more. Then we decided to try for another baby (i'm getting on a bit…

Hi there, I have a 7 month old and am trying desperately to get back into fitness (I had lost 70lbs before i got pregnant and could do with losing that again!!). But having a young baby means I have to squeeze exercise in when she naps which is usually for 45 mins. I am trying Turbofire as turbo jam wasn't inspiring me…

I was 3 weeks off finishing tapout xt, i'd been dogging it before i found out i was pregnant and wondered what the deal was... so (after posting on here coz i was beating myself up about not finishing what i started) i did…

Being too hard on myself?
I recently found out I'm pregnant! Before I knew I was, i was really struggling with exercise. I was doing it, but I was (as they say) dogging it. I was short of breath and getting very hot, but I persisted. Once I found out I was pregnant the first question i asked my doctor was "can i still exercise?" to which he said…

So much calorie confusion!!!!
The last 6 months of my weight loss have been very very very slow going and i have a big tummy again, from bloating... I have looked into calorie cycling and was looking into what amount of calories i would need in general in order to subtract 500. I used a number of calorie calculators online and have worked out the…
