Fitbit calories burned? MFP logging questions
I just got a new Fitbit flex Friday. I set up my stride and weight on it. I did not set up a food plan on it at this point. I log in MFP and set MFP to maintain, I also log excercise in MFP and did not sync the Fitbit to MFP. I wanted to see steps and calories burned. So yesterday the fitbit said I burned 2798 calories ,…

New phenomenon to me- RAVENOUS alot lately-is this what should be happening
I have posted before in the last year or more. I ate VERY low calorie and low carb for about 5 years. A year and a half ago I started this EM2LW and gained a lot of weight back and it wasn't coming off. So I did a quick diet, lost 20 lbs. It has been a long year for me, since I still was heavier than the weight I had been…

Food diaries please
I am struggling here with eating enough and keeping within macros. There are so many diaries I see where they use a lot of protein shakes and protein bars. I want to eat food and not use protein shakes. I really would like to see food diaries of people eating 2200-2400 a day without the use of those aids?? Anyone really…

preparing for cut, Can I add exercise or change it up???
I am getting close to cutting, and was thinking of adding some walks in a couple times a week and possibly increasing the time lifting to 40 minutes and not just 30. Will this affect me negatively as I start to cut?

Beginning week 9 feeling good...
So I was really bothered that my gain of 6 lbs in one day stayed for 2 weeks. So this last week I decided to drop back to the original TDEE I had started with, was able to hit the gym all three times and today I was 2.lbs less :) YAY EVEN with starting cycle today!! Usually that is a good 3-5 lb water gain to start off…

Worried a bit and somewhat confused now
I have been reading all the posts daily, and thought I was getting this right. I am not a numbers person and some of the fabulous detail that heybales says is a math story problem and I just don't get that. So I am worried because I am just past my 5th week of reset, doing fine. Realized I need to up calories more, haven't…

menu planning to hitt TDEE??
I am working on upping to my TDEE the last week and a half. What I find to be a huge challenge is menu planning to hit the TDEE and macros. How do you calculate for food out? Life is not always the same, so to have a nice variety of meals that everyone can eat but hit TDEE is really my issue. Logging on the weekends isn't…
