Activity Level/Logging Walks?
I work on my feet 5 days a week for a total of around 30 hours. I'm off on weekends and spend a lot of my 2 days off just sitting on my butt.. If I plan on walking 8 km/5 miles, should I log that? It is out of my norm, but my activity level is set to "lightly active," so I don't know if that amount of walking would be…

Calories in chicken leg quarter?
I've looked in the database, and each entry has such wildly different information! I have a 404 gram chicken leg quarter from the grocery store with no nutritional information on it, of course.. and I'm having a hard time adding it to my diary. Does anyone have a good estimate? I'm getting anywhere from 360-1000!

Ok, I need help, too.
I've asked for help before, but I don't think I ever actually followed the advice I was given. I started at 150 and I've lost about 15 pounds. It's been months since I've lost anything (according to the scale)..and I'm frustrated. I haven't done much strength training. I actually had to quit going to the gym. When at home,…

Plateau help
I know there are several topics on this, but I didn't find any that applied to someone like me, who has barely lost anything and now can't seem to lose any more. I started out at 1200 calories, but that felt too low for me, so for a while I've been eating 1400. I haven't gained anything, but I also haven't lost anything in…

Deficit Question
Which matters more - daily deficit or weekly deficit? I burned 500 calories at the gym today, which is A LOT for me. I'm a bit of a small person, so it takes a lot of work to burn that much. My daily intake is usually around 13-1400, but today, I ate 1762! That seems like so much. I feel so guilty whenever I go near or…

HRM, TDEE, etc.
I just got a hrm today, and I'm trying to figure out how to use it. It won't stop beeping! I'm not sure if there is a way to turn the whole thing off or not. Anyway.. since my activity level is set to sedentary, would it make sense to wear it while I do laundry & stuff and log those calories burned? Would they be accurate?…

Eating at maintenance calories?
I've searched the topics and have found a few on this, but I was wondering if anyone has tried this? Eating at your goal weight's maintenance calories. I know it would probably take longer to lose the weight, but I haven't been doing this for long and I only plan to lose 30 pounds (not 100% sure about that yet). I have…

Not losing any weight
I have been logging my calories since May first, I believe, and I haven't lost any weight. I know last weekend was horrible because I was on vacation and out of town.. and kind of went crazy (but had a good time doing it). I've made my diary public for this post, in case anyone has advice? I know I go over some days, but…

Counting Calories & Healthy Eating
Will my weight loss be greatly affected by what it is that I eat, if I stay at/under my calorie goal? I've just gotten back from a weekend trip and I ate horribly and I'm so worried. I don't usually eat great because a lot of the healthier items are more expensive (here, at least), but I do stay at my calorie goal and also…

Weigh-ins ?
I'm confused about my weigh-ins. I just went out and bought a scale today for the first time. I weighed myself at the store, and the scale said __. I just got home from work and had dinner, and it reads 10 lbs lights.. I'm so confused and I don't know which is true. Perhaps the scale is inaccurate? Or should I just wait…
