Recipes with marinades
When you create a recipe that includes a marinade on MFP, is the calorie and nutritional content correct? I made salmon tonight that sat in a marinade, however, the majority of the marinade was not used. I'm curious how many extra calories I was "charged" with that I didn't use. Thoughts?

No weight loss this week. .4lb jump
So bummed! I have not lost any weight this week. In fact I'm up a bit. I've been logging in everything and while I have had some sweets this week, I've burned way more calories than normal.

That's over 100 calories off from my elliptical and 200 calories off of what mfp says I burn. I am assuming the heart monitor is going to be the most…

Sweets NSV!!
My biggest downfall is sweets. Ice cream, cake, cookies, cupcakes, candy - you name it, I love it all! The last four weeks, I have really limited my intake. I made cookies for a party and didn't eat any. I went to a couple of b-day partys and took 1 bite of my DD's slice just for a taste. I started buying Health Choice's…

Exercise calories
Do you use your calories you earn from exercising? When I did WW, I never counted my points, but I'm pretty sure I was eating more than 1200 calories/day. Not sure what to do with these.
