Calorie counting and protein goal
So some nights I am really hungry and end up eating late. What I do is put it on my log for the next day if I absolutely have to eat. Does anyone do this? I am assuming if I do this, and eat less the next day it shouldn't put me in a surplus correct? Also for protein goal, online calculator says 71g-127g. To lose fat and…

Question about packaging
Ok when I scanned these hot dogs on my fitnesspal the calories came up different then on the package? What would you do? Would you go by the package or fitnesspal? When I google it says 120 cals per hot dog to for these but the package is saying 90. My gut says to go with the package. Curious, What would you do?

These past two months I have been really sticking to weight training(some cardio but most of her programs involve strength training lately) with Sydney Cummings on YouTube. I promised myself I will stick with every video…

Will you gain weight if?
I'm just curious if you eat 3000-3500 cals for two days each of those days. Will that make you gain a full pound? Or do you have to continously eat that over a week or so? I kind of went alittle over board because it is easter. I do that every now and then and didn't hinder my goals over the last 2 years. I'm about 2…

Calories in bacon
I usually weigh my meat raw like chicken to get calorie count but I noticed some packs of bacon give cooked and uncooked calories and other packs of bacon don't give both values. Example : president choice bacon is 190 cals per piece uncooked so how many cals cooked? Or should I just always go with uncooked cals for bacon…

Random question about bacon
I measure and weigh everything out to be sure im in a deficit. For rice and pasta I go by uncooked cals because I was told by others on here that's just what you do if you want to count cals you go by uncooked. Now is it the same for bacon? I just realized now that the 210 cal per 2 slices of bacon is uncooked and then…

Starvation mode?
I'm wondering if I'm in starvation mode and that's why I'm barely moving on the scale. I eat anywhere between 1500-1800 calories max. I mean I weigh and measure everything. I Burn 300-400 cals in excercise so most days I'm like 1100-1400 afterwards. Is that putting myself in starvation mode even I'm not trying? My…

Basmati rice calories
OK so I'm little confused as how to measure rice. Tonight I made basmati rice. It says 160 cals per 1/4 cup so i did ( 2 )1/4 cups thinking it's 320 calories when cooked. Is that correct?
-
Water weight
I know this isn't a big deal but I feel like the number on the scale should be lower then what it is. Jan 11 I was 149.6. Today I'm 150.6. I ate some rice last night and I was up until 1am because took a nap and that always keeps up but I was tired 😫 anyways I got hungry and ate a cheese string and some pepporoni. My goal…

How to measure out pasta
This might be a dumb question but it confuses me. I'm making penne pasta for dinner. It says 300 per 1 cup of dry pasta. How do I figure out how many calories per one cup of cooked penne? It seems that cooked penne is lower in calories if I google it.

Will I gain weight?
I decided to indulge with some pizza and chocolate since it's Christmas eve. Logged all my food and I ate just over 3500😫😑 I feel pretty guilty but I'm trying to let it go because I need one of these days now and then. Can you gain a pound if I ate 3500 cals in one day only ? I'm planning to get back into everything and on…

Water weight?
Is it possible to gain 2-3 pounds of water weight over in 4days? I'm very sore from working out this week and I did eat some high salt meals yesterday but I can't see how I gained that much in short time being I have truly been in a deficiency. I'm hoping the number goes down if it truly is water weight.

Fitnesspal calorie calculation
OK so I set my calorie limit to 1700. It's Friday so I ate over it but i went for a walk and did a 40 minute work out to make up for it today. I normally just leave it and have a cheat day just as long as i don't go way over my maintenance cals. Today though I felt like I wanted to get excercise in twice(I spaced it out)…

With my work out , cleaning the house and going for a 40 minute walk today(including after burn from all these activities, I stop my fit bit once my heart rate is at resting rate) I burned a estimated total of 935. If I minus that from total I ate it gives me total of 724 cals I'm running off…

Is 270 minutes a week to much?

Im eating 1400 calories. Hopefully this kick starts my weightloss again and I can lose these 10 pounds I got left. I don't care how long it…

Need a new scale?
OK so I hopped on the scale this morning. It said I dropped 2.4 pounds(I was 166.2 on June 20). I stepped on it two more times to make sure it was right and it said 166.8! Did one more time it said 165.8. So I wrote that weight down. 0.4 weight loss which I guess makes more sense and I'm happy with that. I just get how it…
