MFP not accurate with Fitbit
The last two days I have done near 10,000 steps and no matter what I try I can’t get MFP to update accurate step count. Says I only took 8 steps today. Anyone else having the same problem? How can I fix it?

Lean Body Mass vs. Muscle Mass
Can someone explain the difference to me? Both have increased over the past month, but my weight is all over from week to week. I have lost half an inch in my waist and half an inch in my thighs though. I am getting frustrated that the scale is not moving. Am I doing something wrong?

New fitbit
I had the Inspire HR, and just a little over a year, it took a crap the other day. This is my second fitbit in 2 years. Apparently the Apple watch doesn't link up to MFP, so I am going to purchase a third fitbit. They offered me a discount and free shipping. I am torn between the Charge 3, and the Versa 2. Is it worth the…

Can anyone help me? Calorie question...
My Fitbit says I burned 1706 calories so far today. MFP gives me a goal of 1430 plus 577 from exercise. Do I strive for the 1706? Less than that? More than that? I feel like the two are confusing. MFP always says I am under, where Fitbit always says I am over. The scale is creeping up...what am I doing wrong?

Fitbit vs. MFP
Can anyone tell me why Fitbit is telling me I am over by 142 calories when MFP says I have 700 remaining? I log everything into MFP. Do I need to change a setting in Fitbit? The numbers were slowly moving down on the scale until yesterday. Not sure which app is right now. Does anyone else have this problem?

Scanner on iPhone app
Can someone please tell me where to find it? I am new to iPhone and I just downloaded the app. I thought it said it has a nutritional label scanner, but I can seem to find it. Do you have to have the premium app for that?

How accurate is Fitbit?
I just received a Fitbit Inspire HR as a gift. I have worn it non stop for 4 days and it says that I am burning almost 2000 calories a day. I have been eating roughly a 1200 calorie meal plan for forever and never really seem to lose weight. If I happen to go over my calories, I gain everything I lost back and it takes 3…

CLA's
I just had a physical and my thyroid levels came back elevated. This happened once before, and I watched what I ate, worked out, and took CLA supplements, and it went back to normal. I told the doc we are TTC, and he said not to take the supplements for now. I know CLA's are found in grass fed animals. Can you tell me…

Expired protein packets?
I was just cleaning out a cabinet, and I found two individual packets of EAS 100% Whey Protein Powder. The are the single size packets. The expiration date on them is "Best by April 2017". Can I still use them if they are not opened? Or do I need to chuck them?

Can someone please help me understand?
I have been logging my food, working out, and tracking my weight with WeightGrapher. I started slowly losing ounces, then after one week, it was a pound. Then I remained pretty flat with my weight for another week. I am in week three, and my daughter's birthday was this past weekend, and I didn't log food, and ate stuff I…

What is most important...calories or macros?
When trying to lose weight is it more important to keep your calories low, or your macros? I just logged what I ate so far for the day, and my orange juice already put me over my sugar limit for the day. If I stay under my calories for the day, even if my macros are above the limits I set, will I still lose weight?

Question about TDEE
I just figured my TDEE on a website. It says my BMP is 1247, and my TDEE is 2198. In order to lose weight, do I have to subtract 500 from the 2198? So I should be eating 1698 to lose a pound a week? Is that how it works?

Fitbit and macros?
I have a Fitbit HR and it is synced to MFP, but it doesn't show my food. I am particularly interested in watching my macros. Does anybody know why it doesn't show, and how I can get it to sync properly? TIA!

Does this seem right?
I just about my stats into a BMR calculator, and it is saying my BMR is 1253. If my goal on MFP is set for 1200, could that be the reason I am not losing weight? I work in an office about 12 hours a week and clean houses anywhere from 12 to 16 hours a week. I just started working out to my dvd's again last week. What…

Fitbit question
I got a Fitbit HR last month. In the first week using it I lost two pounds. Since then I have slowly been gaining, and now I am up almost 5 pounds. I just checked my setting again, and it says my daily burn is 2175. I have been eating between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. What am I doing wrong? Is their info not accurate?

Breastfeeding and working out....
I was cleared to start exercising last week. I am 7 weeks pp, and I am breastfeeding. I was eating 1500 calories before I got pregnant. While pregnant I was between 1800 and 2000 calories a day.

Ladies who went from squishy stomachs to six packs...
Can you please share your ab workout, and some before and after pics for inspiration? Seems like this is the last place I see results. Especially the lower abs. I use the ab machines at the gym, do many many planks, and use the roman chair. Would love some new ideas to change things up a bit. Thanks!
