HRM question
Hi everyone, I have a question about my HRM, which is the Polar FT7 (with chest strap.) How accurately do you believe these are, with respect to calories burned? I worked out for 26 minutes doing a cardio kickboxing video, and it said that I burned around 238 calories. I then rode a stationary bike (high resistance) for…

Foods to make you feel full longer
Hi everyone. I am looking for some advice with my food intake. My days are long....up at 03:30 and to bed around 10pm. I'm finding that I'm having a hard time staying within my calorie goals for the day. My recommended intake is 1350, and my weekdays are pretty much a carbon copy of one another: - Wake up - Hit the gym -…

Can someone assist me with TDEE?
Hi folks, I have been on MFP for a number of months and have successfully lost 35 pounds (fluctuating 35-38.) I was working off of the calories that MFP advised me to, but after plenty of reading, I am thinking I would like to change to the TDEE method. My TDEE, minus 20% is 1583. I put in that I am sedentary as I have a…

Do you ever get heel pain?
I have been experiencing bad heel pain following treadmill workouts. I typically mix walking and jogging intervals and while working out, no pain. Afterwards, especially after sitting, it hurts, especially the first few steps. I do stretch before and after my workout. I do think I need some new shoes, and will be talking…

Headache after running
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced migraines after running? After I run, I get a major migraine at the base if my skull. It isn't just a headache, it is something that typically incapacitates me, sometimes for hours on end. I have tried everything from watching my posture to taking in more water and everything…

Wish me luck!
I just changed my goals to lose 1.5 a week which dropped my daily calories by over 240....Sitting at a max of 1400 a day now. Pretty sure with careful planning that I can do this. (Must make sure I hit the gym 5-6 times a week)

Injured...
Looking for some suggestions on exercises that can be modified for a sore knee. I have been doing a lot of walking and elliptical since I started MFP, but the other day I took a wrong step on a stair and tweaked my knee. Doing my usual 5k is out of the question as I don't want to make it worse, but I want to remain as…

When rounding exercise calories down....
How much do you typically decrease them by? I have read plenty of posts questioning the calories burned by both MFP and the equipment at the gym. As I result, I use a formula to calculate my calories burned (that includes average heart rate and my current weight and age as part of the formula)... I don't have a HRM yet, so…

Do you ever just have a hungry day?
I'm having one today. I worked out this morning for an hour and followed up with my standard oatmeal and apple...then I was hungry so I had a plum and a few almonds....Ate my lunch at 10 am...a chicken wrap (home made, with chicken, onion, mushrooms, wrapped in a tortilla)... And 2 cups of cut up watermelon. I followed…
