Sliced Bread replacements?
Does anyone have any suggestions on food to use to replace regular sliced bread? I normally eat whole wheat bread, and had picked up some tortillas to replace that - but found the calorie count to be about the same! - I have been struggling since after the holidays to lose weight. I have been losing and gaining the same…

Weight gain after strength training questions
Hey All, I HAVE to start strength training on a regular basis. I have dropped 13 of the 28 lbs I want to lose already, and am having a hard time getting past the 179.4lb mark with just diet now. So, I know to expect weight gains when I start an exercise routine. I have read many posts on here talking about muscles…

How to log my chicken stock?
I am wondering how I can add my homemade chicken stock to my recipes list... I have the ingredients I put in written down - but because the things I used (chicken legs, veg) aren't staying IN the stock... how would I count it? I mean ultimately, it is flavored water - but there ARE calories in it... just not sure how to…

I have the ingredients I put in written down - but because the things I used aren't staying IN the stock... how would I count it? I would be using this stock as a base for soups and to cook rice - but I have no idea how I would log it....

Weights at home?
I would like to start doing some active weights at home. My BF does have a weight bench which I could use and I have a couple free hand weights (used when I was doing the 30DS). I was just wondering if there was a site with weight workouts I could follow? Keep in mind, I don't have crazy heavy weights!! and I am NOT…

Calculating my Macros?
I am here to lose weight over anything else - but I do not have much to lose (21lbs now left) As I have a small number - I am wondering if I should try to start paying attention to my macros now? I am bouncing around the same weight now for over a month, I cannot get past this 185lb mark. I do not really do any exercise -…

How to use IIFYM site?
I went to the above site, and I am trying to figure out how to enter my lean body mass. The calculation it gives me is 21.6 * Lean Body Mass (kg) + 370 = % of body fat....... but how do I know what my LBM is in KG???

Too much sugar??
I am noticing that my sugar is over more often than usual when I log. MOST of the time it is from fruit I eat, (apples, kiwi, plums) (sometimes it is from the brookside chocolates... but I digress - for the MOST part its fruit) - my question is and I assume the answer is yes - but the calorie total for a food includes the…

fitbit built into bracelet - good?
I saw the separate fitbit monitors, and the separate bracelets you can buy - but the other day I saw the bracelet with the fitbit already in it (not the regular rectangle looking one.. this actually looked like ONLY the bracelet). It was 99$ but I was wondering if anyone has one? Is it worth it? It claims it also tracks…

eat smart precision plus
Just got mine, so I was thinking of entering my weight from this new scale tomorrow AM and "starting over" as it were. TOM is around the corner, and I know my weight is up. It shows me as losing 7lbs so far, but I figure this new scale is more accurate and I should continue on with the weights it will give me.... Thoughts?

If I dont eat the same caily I won't lose?
I just saw this in another post: "Yes I do eat the same caloric intake daily. With the natural errors but it's the same. Your range is to large and not consistent. " Does that mean if I fluctuate in my daily intake too much it will hinder my loss? I thought as long as I were to remain AT or BELOW my MFP calorie goal I…

Plateau already?
I knew I didn't have much to lose in the grand scheme of things (28lbs) but I really didn't expect to be stuck after only losing 7 lbs.... I have my new EatSmart scale on the way - So I am hoping this will be better by showing me the half and quarter lbs lost etc.. compared to my old school "arrow" scale that I hate - but…

Will I need to reset my stats?
I set my goal to lose 28 lbs total. I have lost 7 lbs so far - and seem to be having a harder time losing (granted this past week was TOM - so yeah) I know I have read that people may need to change the stats on MFP as they lose weight, but I just assumed it would be for those people who started out heavier. Is this the…

TOM - when is weight normal?
How long before and after your TOM should your 'real' weight show up on the scale? I find that the week before and during my weight goes up and now (week after) it is showing still the same as before - even though I am still eating at a deficit... I know not to always go by the numbers on the scale, but it is still…

sorting database food?
How can I sort the database>? Everyone always says to pick the items with an * or generic in the name - but I very VERY rarely have those options in my list,. Someone had posted showing screen shots of how to log properly - and I SWEAR their screen shots showed a type of "sort by" relevance and name option... I don't get…

HRM? calories burned?
Hi All, This is a dumb question, but I honestly don't know the answer. If I purchase a HRM how will that help me determine how many calories I am actually burning? Does it show on the HRM? Is there a calculation to do? I am on medication to lower my heart rate and I am also on a diuretic (by prescription from my doctor) -…

Creating or adjusting an entry in database?
I weigh everything I eat, and sometimes have issues finding the right entry. Sometimes I want to just edit an entry I know if wrong to include the right information, and add my initials (TM) at the end so I can recognize it. What I have NOT been able to figure out is how do I enter information in 100g AND 1 g? Like how do…

Good Digital Scale?
Just wondering if anyone has a brand to recommend? I have one of the older scales with the red pointer - which is not accurate, because it changes the reading as I step on and off of it. It also is very hard to read, and I cannot tell if there is a percentage of pounds lost - I don't want to spend TONS of money either…

Hot water or cold?
Serious question, although not sure anyone will have an answer, I work with a couple of Chinese women in my department who SWEAR that drinking hot water speeds up their digestion/metabolism... Is this true? Should I swap in my cold water bottle for a mug of hot water instead?

TDEE -20% do not eat Execersise calories - MFP DO eat
Ok, now I am confused - I calculated my MFP calories per day and it is alloting me 1580. Scooby site (-20%) is 1574 calories a day and there is a third TDEE site I cannot remember the name for but it alloted me 1580 calories a day. so my question is this: If the TDEE -20% is per day NOT eating back calories from exercise…

Losing weight using Wii Fit
I am farily new to this site, only been logging in since Monday June 30 - nad have shown a 3lb weight loss so far (which I believe to be strictly the fluctuation that normally happens during the day and not actual weight loss) Now, I started to walk in the evenings when it is nice out and wanted to start using my Wii Fit…

3 bottles of water - feeling the bloat
So, I don't normally drink anything during a normal day... 10 oz coffee in the morning (which I usually DON'T finish) 250 - 375 ml 2% milk with dinner (not every night) 10 oz Black Tea in the evening (not every night) I figure the fact I don't consume enough liquids could be what I am not moving weight wise (I understand…

Gained a pound...
Bleh! Just finished TOM and had my weekly weigh in this morning. Gained a pound.. or I think I did - I really need to get a scale that is either digital or easier to see... at 5'11 I am SOOOOOO far away from the red pointer and the little black lines that show where I am....

Can you remove food listed under RECENT?
I am wondering if it is possible (and if so how) to remove options showing on our food list? I have several different variations on blueberries for example, but now that I am weighing my food as opposed to working with cups etc.. I would only like to keep the option with the weights... Can anyone help me with this? Is it…

My TDEE and MFP caloric intake is the same - this ok?
Hi All, I have read the various sticky threads and many forum posts, and just wanted to double check my understanding... I went the TDEE site (recommended in the sexy pants thread) and filled in the information to get my TDEE caloric intake. I then subtracted 20% = 1580 calories. MFP's calculator also gives me exactly 1580…
