How much Sugar and Protein
Hey guys, I have heard that the MFP guidlines for some nutrients are insufficient. What should my protein and sugar intake be for a 30 year old woman who is 5'5 and 155lbs but wants to be 125lbs? I work out 4-5x a week, I am currently aiming to eating 1320 cals but usually go up to 1400. I always meet my protein intake but…

I'm worried about my 10 yo nephew
He is quickly becoming overweight. I don't live with him, and I don't control what he eats. I know how hard it is to lose weight so I want him to tackle it early. I also know how mean kids are and I don't want him teased in school. I wish I was more health conscious when I was younger, but I don't think anything could have…

How intense the exercise before we log it?
Hey everyone, I saw a posting for a calorie burn that said 'Sitting, 5 hours. 400 calories burned''. I kid you not. I thought we were supposed to eat back our calories from strenuous activities. So if I don't work out that day, I only eat 1350 cals. I thought that sitting and other everyday activities was already included…

Can someone recommend a HIIT for treadmill??
I am 29, 5'5, 155lbs. Currently I can do 5mph (8kph) for 20 minutes before I get really tired. So I read about HIIT and I did 10kph for 3 mins, and then 2 mins at 5kph, and I alternated for 10 mins before I got really tired. I was so embarrassed, I'm embarrassed just writing this. I burned more doing my non-HIIT. What…

Help Me, if you will
My diary is public so please offer feedback, I want to catch anything I'm doing wrong now, instead of getting advice months down the line. Also, I can't afford a HR monitor, so I am using MFP's provided calorie burn for exercise. I know I should eat back my calories but I know the calorie burn provided isn't entirely…

I'm not hungry
I guess since I am eating better I don't actually have cravings for the food I'm supposed to be eating. It's almost noon and I am still not hungry. Should I eat anyway? I'm having trouble meeting my calorie minimum because I have no appetite/ no desire to eat my greek yogurt and fruit and chicken.

Ashamed to admit
My scale at my gym says im 63kg (139lb) and I set my ticker accordingly. But at my friend's gym, the scale read 66kg (146lbs) and he said that its accurate!!! I didnt want to believe it so I finally bought my own scale and its true, I weigh 7 more lbs than I thought. It kind of made sense because I imagined I would have…
