Does anyone know why? (SF jello calorie differences)
The great value (Walmart) sugar free peach jello is less calories than the strawberry? A serving 1/2 cup of the peach (SF) jello is 5 calories, whereas the (SF) Strawberry is 10 calories.

Does anyone have this scale?
I'm going to Walmart today to return the vivofit (garmin). And I am purchasing measuring tape (for size change) and a good scale. Do these body fat % scales work effectively enough to make it worth the purchase? The price is good, under 30 bucks. Also, I can return it (in store) 15 days. Thought I'd try this out. I'm…

how to stop garmin connect from updating myfitnesspal?
I purchased vivofit 2 days ago. I am returning it tomorrow. I had fun trying it out, but find it daunting. I am doing fine without it. I don't see the benefit of spending the money for it. Anyway I uninstalled it but it is still adding the adjustment to my exercise diary. Would anyone here know how I can disable this?

Anyone using Garmin VivoFit? Have questions.
I just got my Garmin VivoFit and set it up (not yet with MFP). I have been wearing it and syncing it (testing how it works) walking to bathroom, kitchen...etc. It's already given me 116 steps and 114 calories burned. I have my goal set to 10000 steps. This seems like a lot of burned calories for 116 steps. I'm a bit…

Activity monitors for walking, step aerobics and lifting?
(I posted this in the "fitness and exercise" forum, but thought I'd post here as well. Hope it's ok) I'm understanding that nothing is completely accurate, but I want to give one a try (return policies are great). I have been looking into fitbit charge hr and polar, but still not sure what would fit my wants & needs. What…

Curious what others burn for walking at speeds of 3.5 to 4 + mph
I don't have an activity tracker and only count with 1/2 my exercise calories (the majority of the time), but am trying to get a basic idea of the burns others get. Those with fitbits, pacers, polar... etc I am getting faster (walking just over 4 mph). Just want to compare my progress for even more inspiration :smiley:

Would someone be able to tell me how fast I walked this route?

Still trying to figure out my mph when walking.
I've been given some great tips from members and I'm getting closer to understanding. I found this on the net. "I have been walking every day at a park near my home. It's a paved walking path and I walk one mile. Today, I walked it in 10 minutes. How do I know how many calories I burned ? When I tried to log the activity…

Good article on "eating back exercise calories"
I just started "eating back about 50%", Also upped my calories to 1420 before exercise. I'm leaning up steady and much happier. I still am learning a lot about how my body works, so in six or so months I'll see. I exercise every day so far in 23 days (I missed 1 the day before Easter).…

Help with "recipe builder"
I just entered my recipe manually and matched ingredients, but when I put in 4 ounces carrot, it was added as 8 cups. I tried to edit the carrot entry, but it does not remove or let me change it. Could someone help me with this? Here is the recipe below. I set it for 10 servings. 8 cups water 8 cups turkey stock 12 ounces…

I'm shrinking!
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a success as of yet. I started on Feb 16th at 163 Lbs. Last time I weighed I was 154 Lbs. I was on 1200/day and not eating too many exercise calories. I started feeling depleted and read more posts, lurked on profiles of people I now admire, learned that at the rate I'm exercising and now…

Calculating calories in David's sunflower seeds w/ shell?
The package I have is for 1.5 servings. Making the whole package 285 calories. I weighed out (with shell) 1.5 ounces (0.19 of a cup). The MFP database (Seeds - Sunflower seed kernels, dried) 0.19 of a cup with hulls as 50 calories. This seems about right. The hulls are the shells I presume, but I don't eat the hulls. I'm…

Getting a FitBit Charge HR & Electric kitchen scale next month
I finally fit this into my budget for next month and found it at Wally world yesterday for 149 bucks! I've been doing the best I can with my standard "not" digital electric scale and I want to get a quality electric one as well next month. I've shed 9 pounds (that I know of) since February 16th of this year. I know it's…

Is there a YouTube example of what 4.0 mph walking looks like?
I don't get a tracker until next month and not sure which one to get yet. I was set on a FitBit Charge HR, but getting mixed feedback. Anyhow, until then I would like to get some idea how fast i'm walking (in my large driveway). I feel like i get to the point right before running. I breath heavy and can't hold a steady…

Step aerobics question?
I love stepping while watching tv, my favorite shows or just flipping channels. I don't want to do any fancy routines as of yet. I just build up 15, 20 to 30 minute sessions various times throughout the day. I worked up to 90 through out yesterday and sweat each time, but I did not do any fancy routine, just alternate legs…

Online recipes that I can link to "recipe builder" with calorie counts per serving?
I'm ready to learn to start using the Recipe Builder and saw that you can link from recipes on the web. I would love to find sites that already have the calorie counts for the recipes that I can browse. If anyone has some good sites, like for lasanga, cassaroles, etc. I would be thrilled to have the links. Thank you…

Trying to import a recipe via web link????
I'm trying to import this recipe, but when I click "import recipe" after pasting the link, nothing happens. Never used this before. A member sent me directions to enter my own recipes, but I'm still having trouble with that, so I figured I would use online recipes to get calorie counts for individual servings, for now…

Still learning about "eating more to get lean"...
I'm very interested in learning more about this. My husband is getting excited as well. (he's missing my cooking). Now that I have my food scale and am learning to properly weigh and log my food, intensifying/increasing my workouts, becoming all around more active, I am starting to understand I need and want to eat, but in…

Am I constipated? (caution Tmi)
I'm on my 18th day, straight now, finally. (But been on Mfp since mid Feb, this year as well as last year for a month or so) I have learned so much (this time around on Mfp) and am still learning. Here's what my concern is now (my diary is open). I have really pumped up my workouts up to or over 2 hours a day (loving it…

Still learning about exercise burns and calorie goals
I'm not sure if I'm posing this question correctly, but I'll do my best. I worked out for 166 minutes for today and have been reading posts saying that MFP over estimates exercise burns. My calorie goal is 1420 and my menu for tonight brings my to 1426 for the day (gross, not net). I'm still learning and enjoying at the…

2 calorie burned exercise entries?
First off I am thankful for those who leave their diaries open. I learn a lot and am learning how to regulate my own diet. I have been keeping it closed and only just opened it. I was ashamed of myself 2 weeks ago, for about a week before that I went on a free for all and ... blah. Anyway, I have been back on track minus…

Day off from weighing, counting and logging
We were given loads of lovely fruit and veg the other day and received more today. I have been a bit lethargic and may have not been eating enough. I have been walking 2 hours a day and logging it as well as other exercises unlogged. I only started eating back some of my exercise calories 2 days ago. Yesterday I had left…

Carrying leftovers to the next day
I'ma get slammed for asking this, but here I go (I think I already know the answer, just making sure). I have about 150 calories of fruit left over from today. I want to have some extra calories for a bun and mayo (to complete my burger) and still have a side of fruit. The turkey burger is gonna be massive:). So, I was…
