Fitbit flex or polar?
I need something that helps me track my calories that I burn and I don't know which one to get. I know the polar only tracks your heart rate during exercise and fitbit tracks your whole day which both work for me. I do a lot of running/walking/elliptical and occasional swimming. Which one would be better and works better?…

Is this a bad idea?
I only had 933 calories so far today, not net. All of it was healthy but since I have a bunch of calories left would it be a bad idea to have some mint frozen yogurt that has cookies in it instead of the usual chocolate chips, which seems even worse. Or should I just eat some fruit or something? I've never really done the…

Calories in dragonfruit?
MFP said 100 grams would be 60 calories so I weighed out 100 grams on my food scale which ended up being less than half of the dragon fruit, I ate half which was around 160 something grams and 100 calories. To me, 100 calories seems like waaaay too high for half of a dragon fruit. So, I'm just wondering, it's 100 grams…

Eating fruit?
So I only had like 1000 calories today and I aim for 1200 everyday but I already had breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack. It's 7:10 pm and I'm thinking about making a fruit salad but a lot of people say it's better not to eat fruit when it's later in the day because of the sugar or whatever. Does it really matter? If it…

Why do I always feel so weak?
I'm 5'4, 130 pounds. I eat 1200 calories a day (I don't think I feel weak because of my calories because on this BMI calculator it told me to lose weight I should eat between 1135-1300 calories a day or something like that, and I ate 1700 yesterday and still feel extremely weak today), I eat protein with every meal pretty…

How can I stay on track during vacation?
It's not really a "vacation" but me and my family are going to stay near the beach for a week (starting July 1) and I don't know how to stay on track there. They're going to be buying junk food everyday. Any tips? Also, how can I exercise? There won't be any space to workout in the hotel room. I can jog on the boardwalk…

Help with my "goals"?
So, the first thing I don't know is what type of "active" I am. I'm still in school and it's summer so I'm not on my feet all day or anything but I do work out everyday, typically for an hour and 15 minutes. The other day I ran/jogged/walked five miles and yesterday I ran/jogged/walked 3.5 miles and did a mile on the…

What time should I not eat after?
I've heard before that it's bad to eat past 9pm and I've heard 8pm and 7pm and even 4pm. I'm not sure what the actual best time to stop eating is. Does it even matter at all? It's 7:40 pm here right now and I just ate two rice cakes with hummus and I'm planning on not eating anymore today

Only fruit and veggies?
I want to eat only fruit and veggies for a month or so. Maybe those 100 calorie almond packs too, like one a day. Basically a vegan diet. But I was just wondering if I could get a head start on weight loss that way? I know it's not very healthy and I did lose a good amount of weight before by eating whole grains and meat…

Salad dressing ideas?
Something I can make, not buy. Preferably only using vegetables/fruit if possible but other stuff is okay too if it's minimal. I always feel like I'm ruining a salad by putting dressing on my salads and it would be nice to know what I'm putting on my salad :) Thanks!

Protein shakes for girls?
As a girl, can I drink protein shakes? I heard they help you lose weight but I also heard once you stop drinking them you gain weight. I don't know. I'm not trying to "bulk up" at all and I eat chicken/salmon everyday so I'm not sure if I would even need a protein shake, but I'm just wondering. Would protein shakes aid…

Fitbit?
If you own one or have tried it before, do they work? They're pretty expensive, like $120 but I want a good way to track how many calories I burn. I have an app but you have to be holding your phone while exercising for it to be completely accurate. So is a fitbit worth it?

I make a sandwich everyday for lunch because it's easy to carry around and I use lunch meat (turkey) it doesn't have a lot of calories only like 100 for 5 slices but I'm wondering if there's a healthier alternative that I could buy? Or something I could make and store because I don't have time to…

I'm confused about calories?!
Okay so apparently to lose weight you have to eat less calories than you burn, right? But how come people are saying eat back your exercise calories? How am I supposed to eat less calories than I burn if I eat back all the calories I burned through exercise?
