Do I log every activity in my fitness diary?
Hi everyone. I'm 5'2 and live a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I try to eat about 1,300 calories a day (net) and MFP lists my base metabolic rate at 1,720 calories. I don't want to accidentally eat too few calories but I also don't want to eat too many either. So what sort of activities should I include in my exercise diary?…

Night Owls and Food
Hi everyone. I'm one of those 'late to bed, late to rise' sort of people and so I was wondering if I eat something after midnight (but before I go to sleep) would I add that to the previous day's food diary or the new day's diary? (For example, if I ate something at 1:30 Tuesday morning before I went to bed, would I add it…
