Red Lobster Tilapia - Really?
DH and I went to Red Lobster last night. I looked at their lighter options and saw that the Parmesan Crusted Tilapia meal was less than 600 calories, so that's what I got. I found it a little hard to believe it wasn't more than that. So today I'm logging it into MFP and decide to look up the nutritional info. Sure enough,…

Ladies - a different "monthly" question
I know most of us experience a gain, or at least a stall on the scale during our time of the month. But I'm wondering, when do you see that gain go away and see a loss again? Do you gain before AF arrives and then lose once it starts? Do you not lose until it's completely over? I'm just curious about what to expect. I…

Finally!
I started logging and really using the site a few weeks ago. I played around with my calories for a bit trying to understand TDEE, MFP, setting etc. I finally decided to settle on a calorie target. I got going tracking and started working out. I've been doing exercise DVD's that have made me super sore. So, of course I was…

how would you track Chris Powell DVD?
I wore my fitbit during my workout today, but it says I only burned 120 calories during the working. I'm thinking it's much more than that as I'm 258lbs. How can I get a good estimate using the MFP database? Low intensity Aerobic? FIW - If I do use that one, it give me 290 calories burned. **I have a HRM, but haven't worn…

understanding MFP calorie goal
Ok, if I used MFP's guided method of finding my calorie goal, it gives me a number. Then, when I enter in my exercise calories burned, it increases the daily goal. So, if I log exercise, I should eat that increased number, right? If I don't exercise, I should eat the original number it give me, right? And either way, I'll…

Someone just tell me how many cals to eat!
I'm getting super frustrated trying to figure out how many calories to eat. Please someone just tell me! I've read all the stickies on MFP, BMR, TDEE, etc. I understand them, but still don't know what I should do for ME. Is it just trial and error? I'm a 33yo stay at home mom, 5'1", and 257lbs. I HOPE to exercise 3 times a…

Meal Planning
This is one thing I've been putting off but really know I need to do. I have some questions. Do you plan a day, week, month? Do you plan out all meals and all snacks? Do you plan a certain number of calories for each meal? Also, do you plan to have a meal out or do you just work it in your plan when the opportunity arises.…

If your short on calories by the end of the day
What do YOU do. Do you just eat something for the sake of getting your calories in? What types of foods/drinks do you eat at night to get your calories in?

Reading explanations - but still confused :(
I'm sorry, I know this should be more simple than I'm making it. I've been reading all the explanations about how to figure out my calories but I'm still confused. I just read IPOARM(2) and here are the calculations I got. TDEE (fitnessfrog) 2613 BMR (Fat3fitradio) 2619 Is it right that those two are the basically the same…

New to MFP - confused about calories
I'm new to MFP (registered a long time ago but am just now utilizing the site). After much reading, I do understand that MFP gives you your calorie intake goal based on what you want to lose, so in essence a deficit is already figured in. However, I don't understand about exersize and the calories burned. In the Goal…
