Setting my caloric daily food intake
I am setting my caloric food intake to 1200. I'm told that is too low.

Good Carbs ???

Machines vs. MFP Calculations

Sick and way under caloric intake.
Unfortunately, I was sick on Christmas Day, as I am not well today either. I had some crackers and a protein/meal replacement shake. Once I plugged it all into MFP, at the end, it showed that if I continued to eat as I did, I would lose. (much more weight then when eating my allowed calories) What the heck??????? The whole…

Scale vs. Tape Measure
I only know my weight because I was FORCED to get on it with a trainer (during a consultation). I told her that I wanted to lose inches/sizes. She said that it was ok to stay away from the scale and I should check my inches once a month. She mentioned muscle is heavier???? So is there anyone here that goes by this theory.…
