Apple watch/steps question
I recently got an Apple watch and have noticed that sometimes the steps from my Apple watch come over to MFP with a calorie adjustment and sometimes they don't. The number of steps are usually very similar so why does it sometimes come over to MFP with an adjustment but sometimes not?

Water retention?
Does anyone have any suggestions for water retention? I feel bloated in my abdomen and even am seeing a little swelling in my lower legs/ankles/feet. I drink a lot of fluids and maybe consume a little too much sodium. Are there any "natural diuretics" that you can suggest to help me get rid of this excess water I feel like…

Calories on rest days to maintain
I'm wondering what people's opinion/thoughts are on calorie intake on rest days? I am an avid runner and run, on average, 6-7 days a week and average about 50-55 miles a week. I am wondering if you consume the same number of calories on rest days as you do on workout (running) days or if you scale back? I'm in maintain…

Reassurance
Help! I need reassurance. I have cellulitis in my leg and have had to to take one rest day this week due to it (I rarely take rest days...usually I run 7 days a week, an average of 6 to 8 miles per day...) I went on a very abbreviated run yesterday from what I’m used to and now I’m paying for it today. There is no way I…

Calories week of half marathon
Hi all, I'm running my first half marathon on Saturday (in 6 days) and naturally am tapering my runs back so I'm wondering what I should be doing with my calories this week. I know I won't be burning as many calories through exercise because I'm tapering back from running 50+ miles a week down to 30 this week but I think…

First half marathon
I'm running my first half marathon in 9 days. A couple things: I purchased some sport beans and am wondering what people's thoughts are on when I should take them? Do I take them before the race? During the race? If during the race, at what point? Do I take them before the race starts and then some more again during the…

Enough calories??
I am trying to maintain my weight. I currently weigh 115 pounds. I exercise by running 7-9 miles every day which MFP calculates to be burning about 650-800 calories. If I'm eating 2300 cslories, is that too low? I'm 5'4". Thanks in advance!

Hands don't work?
Does anyone else ever experience this? After you've worked out on a machine, i.e, the elliptical, you get off and it's almost as though your hands don't work? I get where they are really cold and hard to use as if they can't function for a few minutes after I get off. Wondering if this I unique to me or if others…

Running
I have a two part question here. Because of the cold, I've been forced to move my workout indoors and use my elliptical rather than running outside. My first question is, does anyone know after how many days of not running in a row will I begin to lose my "running fitness" so to speak? Secondly, I am still using my…

Calories burned estimator
Wondering what people's opinions are on the readouts that machines give you regarding calories burned? I've heard some say to cut what the machine says in half and I've heard others say to divide it by 3 or even 4. I'm not naive and I know the number the machine gives is not correct but just wondering what the rule of…

Calories burned question
How many calories do you aim to burn in a workout? Also, how accurate do you think the guesstimates that MFP gives you for exercises are?
-
how much exercise?
Lately I have felt like if I don't do enough exercise to burn 800-900 calories I'm ripping myself off. I'm currently at the maintain stage of my weight loss journey and to get here I never burned that much, typically about 500-600. I need someone to tell me I'm being unreasonable and that I don't need to strive to burn…

For those of you who count calories, do you count from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed or do you count for a 24 hour period?

Calories
This might be a silly question but are all calories created equal? I mean, I know that fruits and vegetables are healthier obviously but just talking strictly calories and not nutritional content, are all calories created equal?
