Macro pie charts?
I can see them on my phone app, but not on the website. Anyone know how to access the macro pie chart break downs each day on the website??

New to the group (not to MFP)
Hi all! I've been on MFP for quite some time, and recently thought it would be so great to have a group focused on the last few body fat % (or maintaining). And hey look - there is one :) :) :) I'm 5'4", 120lbs, hovering around 19% BF. My goal is 16% BF. I follow a fairly low-carb approach, with no gluten and very limited…

Body fat 16 - 18 range
I'm trying to keep my BF% in the 16-18% range, but it feels like a constant struggle. When I start creeping up, I find cutting back carbs, ensuring my diet is wheat and dairy free, and ensuring my N.E.A.T. remains high. But, I'm wondering what works for others?? Ideally, I wouldn't creep up! (My ultimate goal is to prevent…

Looking to drop body fat %?
I have slowly gotten complacent, and let a bit too much wine, too many carbs, extra sugars creep into my diet. I'm looking to tighten things up and drop a few percent body fat to get down to my "comfortable zone" (ie - comfortable in my clothes and skin ;) ). I'm looking for like-minded people - focused on eating clean,…

Protein powder and kids?
OK... so, I make lots of recipes with protein powder. I need all the help I can get to get the protein up :P So many of the recipes are really great healthy alternatives to things my girls love (they are 5 and 7). Is it ok to let them eat these high protein items?? I was told at one point that you should allow children…

Tabata anyone?
Does anyone else do Tabata? If so, what exercises do you use?? I'm looking for more cardio stuff and I'm sick of jump rope, burpees and box jumps....

Where does MFP get this number???
Where does it get the number of calories burned from "normal daily activity"? Mine seems way low, and thus the "exercise calories" it keeps deducting daily are huge (it looks at my fitbit calories burned and docks them all from my MFP). Does anyone know if there is a way to change the settings on the calories burned from…

In need of some EM2WL "friends"
Hi all; Ok, this is going to sound pathetic, but can you please be my friend?? :P In all seriousness, I am struggling to up my caloric intake after years of restriction. I'm terrified of the weight gain, but I know I need this path. But, it makes it soooo hard when day after day after day, I see completed diaries of people…

Fitbit versus TDEE
Help! I'm so frustrated with the numbers today. I swear, I'm going to have nightmares of numbers :P So, what do you trust in more... fitbit reports or calculators?? I'm seeing a HUGE difference. Scooby calculator would say my BMR is about 1325. TDEE of about 2050. So, TDEE-15% of 1750. Well, then there are days like…

I DID it!!! (NSV)
I upped my calorie "goals" - woot woot! I'm proud of myself for taking that additional step. One step at a time! I know my mindset... I see a number, I want to match it, so seeing that higher number will certainly keep me on the up and up track :)
