First Week and I gained weight?!
Help!! I've been religiously tracking everything on here for a week. I hopped on the scales this morning, excited to see some progress, and I've gained weight :( I feel better and think I look like I've lost a bit...could it be water retention? What could it be? Feeling really rubbish :( Thanks x

Rubbish Calorie Burn!
Hiya! Just got back from doing Week 2 of the C25K. I've completed the programme before, but haven't done it in ages so started again. I used my garmin watch and heart rate monitor, and really pushed myself this time, running for longer after the podcast had finished hoping for a good burn. Just looked on my watch, and it…

Only caring about calories?
Hi All, I've noticed a few people on MFP who seem to only worry about the end calorie deficit, not the quality/health benefits of the food they are eating.

Sub 500 calorie 'cheat risotto'
Hiya :) This feels like a big deal to me..I made the best dinner ever, felt like I was eating something really bad for me, and yet stayed under my calorie goal!! I had 375 grams, 0.22 of a serving, with a roasted red pepper, to log 498 cals. Even a quarter of this recipe is only 527 cals. And it tastes amazing :) Tesco…

Weighing Food I'm sharing
This might sound ridiculous...but how do I weigh something to know the calorie content, if I'm sharing the dish? For example, I'm making risotto tonight for me and my boyfriend. Now, I can weigh all my dry ingredients, but without cooking mine in a separate pan, I can't keep it accurate when I serve it up,if you see what I…

Hi MFP :) I'm looking for some tips and tricks to make my go-to recipes healthier. I've always eaten lots of vegetables, so I put them in things like spag bol, lasagne etc. Risotto is on the menu tonight..I normally make it with chicken breast and chorizo, onion, chicken stock, aborio risotto rice and then stuff it in a…

How to log unfinished meals?
Hi MFP-ers :) I've been really good at weighing everything that goes on my plate and into my recipes to get the calorie count as accurate as possible. I really worry about the calorie counts being inaccurate... I'm confused though...I just had my lunch, and I made a massive salad with chicken, and I couldn't finish all of…
