        Calorie loss math

        CICO, time of day, and beer/alcohol

        Hi, Looking for general discussion on beer and alcohol and calories in/calories out (cico). My understanding from reading here is that cico rules. More calories out than in, you lose weight. Cico rule…

        Problem with pounds lost showing as zero

        So, I've lost 3 pounds but on the home tab, my pounds lost is zero. I found out that this is because, a year ago, I had a lower starting weight than I have now (I left MFP and came back). I found the …

        Fast food salads

        Am just too busy. So, a couple of times a week I buy lunch. I found I like McDonald's Southwest Salad with grilled chicken for about 450 cals and D'Angelos cobb salad with chicken, 530 cals (both cals…

        Indian and Sushi

        On a paltry 1380 calories per day, is sushi or Indian food possible (in CT, America)? What would you suggest. For example, chicken vindaloo (admittedly British, not Indian) seems upwards of 800 calori…

        Potassium question

        My target goal is default MFP. One of the goals is 3500 (units?) of potassium. How on earth can I meet that? I don't think I can consume enough OJ and bananas on a daily basis to get that done. Ideas?…

        Back. Yo-yo-ing. Back.

        Two years ago, MFP and I did great over a 9-month period. Am back. Am as heavy as I was before. Sigh. Going to get a little jumpstart with GNC and try to settle into a routine I once had. Wish me luck…

        Restaurant ads in MFP

        Opened MFP today. At the top of the page was an ad for coupons to "Red Robin," Arby's," and "Panera." ROFLMAO. That's no help. Is anything at Panera less than eleventeen million calories, for example?…

        I just had the most delicious burger ... with bacon. Yuuuuum. (And two beers. :-) Tossed me completely off my diet, though. But, it was very good. So, am I correct in assuming a 1/2 pound burger can't…

        Which HRM and Why?
