Free calories burned calculator?
Is there an app, aside from MFP, that can accurately track calories your burned in exercise? I'm trying to up my calories from 1200 to 1500 (I'm 5'4 112ish lbs). Volleyball season is coming up an I NEED to practice. I practice an hour to and hour and a half everyday. I want to add in the amount I burned so I know how much…

Why am I not as hungry when I eat less?
I eat around 1200 calories a day, and am slowly increasing. Today, at lunch I are 15 tater tots (served with a burger, but I didn't eat it because I wasn't in the mood for one). Yesterday I ate 10 tater tots (I also was not in the mood for a burger). Today, my stomach was growling so loud at 3:00 (I ate at 12:30).…

Does it really matter when you eat?
You hear a lot of people say not to eat at night. I'm trying to hit 1200, so I can get okay with this increase and keep upping the amount until maintenance. I'm busy and I can't eat a ton during the day. I looked at my diary and I still have 600 left (ate 600 so far). I'm going to sleep in a few hours (1-4 hours). Will…

I don't know what to do anymore...
I know I post here a lot, but I promise I am being genuine and not looking for attention. I just want help. I was doing well the past few days. I was happy, content, and confident. I was taking care of myself and eating a reasonable amount. But earlier I went to take a shower and I just lost it. I looked in the mirror and…

How accurate are calorie displays on workout apps?
Sorry if I've already asked this, but it's not showing up on my phone. I've been using one of those daily workout apps (cardio, arm, leg, butt, and ab). At the end if every workout it tells you how many calories you've burned. I know it won't be entirely accurate, but how close is it? Does it give me a good estimate? Or…

How do you deal with family trying to make you eat?
I should start off by saying I am NOT starving myself. I'm actually increasing my calorie intake. Summer's ending and we've been going out a lot, visiting family and friends. My family is big on barbecue. I have no clue about the calorie content. I'm horrible at guessing ounces, I can't weigh the food, nor see the…

Why do I lose weight from non-conventional areas?
I noticed a lot of my weight loss came for. My shoulders and hands/wrists. Also, I'm lopsided. My tummy is way flatter on the right end, and my hipbone is visible. On the left: tummy, love handle, no visible hip. While I'm at it, I still have some fat under my chin (not a double chin, though. Know what I mean?) Why doe…

Snack ideas for a picky eater?
I don't like most vegetable (especially juicier ones like tomato and squash). I LOVE sweet food. I definitely have a major sweet tooth. Recently I've snacked a ton on bananas, Greek yogurt and low-fat string cheese. Do you have any other ideas? Edit: Also, is there a way I increase protein without increasing fat?

Do you think this will keep me full for until lunch?
I eat breakfast at 6:40 and lunch at 12:30. We're volunteering at church for a few days to help fix up elderly and disabled people's houses (like adding porches and ramps). I cannot eat in between except for sucking on a peppermint. Yesterday, my stomach started growling like crazy at 11:00. I ate a Cliff bar that morning.…

Will I gain weight?
I think I'm ready to really try to start maintaining, not just putting it off because part of me still wants to lose. I'm 5'4 110 lbs. I used to be around 140. I wouldn't say I was fat, but I'm young and a little bigger than I should have been. I knew that if I kept up my eating habits, and I would keep gaining and I would…

Okay...I need answers in this whole metabolism thing
I used to eat 800-900 cals a day. I lost 30lbs. I upped it to around 1200. I stayed the same for a few weeks. I started exercising again and ate 1200, but I never ate back exercise calories. I'm not exercising now and I have no clue if I gained or lost (my scale is messed up, it gives me different weights all the time. I…

I feel like I'm losing control...
This morning, I weighed myself and I'm down a pound. Even though that wasn't my intention(I was 112 and now I'm 110.6),I felt proud, but strangely motivated to eat more. I planned out my food for the day and I realized I have room for all of my favorite snacks (banana, pudding, and granola bar). The problem was, I wasn't…

Sliced bread calories don't add up...?
I made and sandwich today (Bunny Giant) and a looked at the nutritional label and noticed that 1 slice is 60 calories, but 2 slices are 130. I'm just curious why it's 130 and not 120.

How do I get over my fear of gaining weight?
I'm 19, 5'4 and 112 lbs. I have a high body fat percentage, however. I was told that I can lower it by building more muscle. To do that, I would have to eat around maintainence and lift.

How many calories...?
We went to Hardee's today (horrible, I know). I got 5-piece hand breaded chicken tenders and medium curly fries. I had no drink, sauce or anything else. I are half for lunch and I planned on eating the other for dinner. Myfitnesspal and the Hardee's website say there are about 910 calories in the whole meal (fits into my…

Free, accurate body fat calculator online?
My BMI is in the normal range (19.2). My weight is in the healthy range for my height (112 lbs 5'4). However, I am not happy with my appearance. I have a bit of a belly, love handles, and a bit of fat under my chin (not enough to be a double chin, but it's a little more than I'd like.) I suspect I am "skinny fat". I took…
