Does anyone have this and if so, what are…

MFP Calories vs BMR?
So, if MFP tells me that my BMR is 1590 and I put all my info into my settings and it tells me to eat 1200 calories per day, then how does that work since every post I read says that you need to eat at least your BMR calories just to live?

Spiraling...
I started last Wednesday on the HCG diet again and was doing so good. Even made it through Friday night and all day Saturday without screwing up. Then Sunday came and it was cold and windy and dreary and I just couldn't fight it anymore and ate a ton of stuff, one right after another. I wasn't hungry any of the time, just…

When Pasta says "Serving Size: 2 oz. (56g - about 1/7 box)
2 oz (56 g about 1/7 box) is 200 calories. Does it mean 2 oz before cooking or after cooking? I am always confused about this. I wish it would specify.

Gender, ht, wt, calorie budget
I often wonder when looking at other people's success how tall they are, how much they weigh and all so that maybe I can try what they are doing. Although every person's success is individual to themselves, I thought it would be fun to see others statistics. Me: Gender: Female Height: 5' 6 1/4" Current weight: 185 Calorie…

I feel so powerful this morning...
Yesterday I knew we were going to Pizza Ranch last night so I saved back a bunch of calories for dinner, didn't eat a whole lot of carbs throughout the day and then went and ran/walked 3 laps around the lake which is 0.6 miles/lap. So that gave me 321 calories minus the 50 calories that I usually burn in 30 minutes just by…

My MFP Anniversary is coming up!
As of May 17th, it will be 1 year sine I discovered MFP. I will have lost 20 unless since I joined, unless I blow it before then. I know 20 pounds isn't a lot compared to a lot of you out there, but my body is not at all interested in losing weight like I am. But hey, 20 pounds is 20 pounds right? And it's 20 pounds lost,…

Serving Size - Dry or Cooked???
Yes, that is my question. One I've had before and one I'm still confused about. I just made some spaghetti and the box said the serving size is 2 oz. So I weighed out 2 oz. on my new scale and cooked it all by itself. So, for giggles, I weighed it after it was cooked and it weighed 7 oz. So, I started taking the noodles…
