uncooked penne to cooked in ounces
From you guys' experience, the 2oz DRY serving of penne rigate pasta usually equals what after cooked? I've heard it doubles, so around 4-5 oz and I've also heard up to 1 cup (8 oz)

How does fiber count effect calories on nutrition labels?
I've noticed recently that when I add up my macros for the day, they often come out to a number considerably higher than what MFP says I have eaten For example, I have input all the food I will eat for today into MFP diary. MFP lists calories for all this food as 2,574 with my goal being 2,650 My macros for those meals are…

Does cooked pasta change macros?
Does pasta double in weight after being cooked? 1 serving of dry Rotini is 2oz = 210 cals, 1g fat, 42g carbs, 7g protein I ate 6 ounces of it cooked. So would that be equivalent to eating 1.5 servings? Just curious

Why are my calories so far off?
Has this ever happened to anyone? My goal macros are 60f/360c/165p equaling to 2640 calories Today I ate 60f/361c/170p yet MFP is only showing 2,543 for food? Are fiber calories not included on a lot of labels? Because I did have 64g fiber today which is quite close to my max of 70g How are my calories nearly 100 off, and…

Do my calories burned seem accurate?
Just curious if this information seems accurate.My treadmill says I burned 557 calories for this session. Does this sound right given the information? I held onto the Heart Rate Monitor the whole time, heart rate was anywhere from 135-150 Walked at 3.5mph for 45 minutes Incline on 14% Entered my weight of 151lbs Says I…

Mon-Fri workout routine?
Does anyone here do a mon-fri workout routine with weekends off? My work schedule on the weekends is often unpredictable, and I can't guarantee that I can get to the gym during those days, so I usually just take them off. Also, weekends are usually the only days where I can see my gf, so that's important too. I was sitting…

Helping brother get in shape, thoughts on this diet?
I am helping out my brother and essentially training him. I have ALWAYS been much smaller and slimmer then him, so he's come to me for help. Although in his high school days (he's 21 now) he was a great athlete and in real solid shape. To make a long story short he fell off....big time. He is 5'9" and was about 180-185lbs…

How did you determine your maintenance/fat loss calories?
I know it's mostly by trial and error, but what calorie calculators or tools did YOU use that gave you the most accurate results? Reason why I'm asking is because most calorie calculators say ~1,850 calories a day to lose fat (even with excercise) for me and that's what I have been doing. However, I feel like I'm losing a…

Has anybody else noticed this when losing fat?
So I've read up on Lyle McDonald's "of whooshes and squishy fat" theory, and it makes some sense to me. Just curious if others have noticed this happening? At some points during my fat loss diet (and currently) I look and feel softer. I look at my stomach in the mirror, flex it, and it appears softer....or almost like my…

Macro-nutrients and calories not equal?
So what I did, much like everyone else I assume, is input food into myfitnesspal app. I added the total # of calories for the item as it is listed on the nutritional label under "calories" and then put in the macro-nutrients beneath it as listed on the label as well. However, my overall sum of calories when simply adding…

Same calories everyday, but varying macros. Is this ok?
Short and simple. I take in the same amount of calories every day. I am good at making sure I hit that number fairly accurately. However, my macro's are sometimes all over the place (except for protein, I always make sure that is on point). I try my best to hit 55/185/150 everyday. However, would it be a big deal if say I…
