Help finding a calorie counting video
I’m looking for a video I saw here long ago that had a guy showing the “same” meals. He was highlighting the importance of weighing your foods because the portions all looked the same but the calorie count at the end was wildly different. I think there were sandwiches, apples, granola etc in it. Thank you in advance!

Macros and calories question
I’m very confused this morning. I just reviewed my nutrition from yesterday and the day before. Yesterday I ate more carbs, more fat, and more protein than Tuesday yet my diary is showing that I consumed several hundred fewer calories. This isn’t possible,right?

Daily "fat energy" limit
I am very curious to learn more about the numbers/science on this. Just read in a thread about how our bodies will use muscle and glycogen before burning too much in fat stores. Does anyone have a link?

Premium version worth it?
Does anyone have the premium MFP? Is it worth what you get? I use the free version for the forums and calorie counting for the most part.

Been sick for a while- getting back up stinks
Hi all, I've been ill for a few weeks so I wasn't running/lifting. Finally started working again at 100% but went for my first post-flu run today and whoa- it's like I'm at square one. How long does it take you to get back to normal after this kind of bull?

Living the Doritos dream
Confession- I am not a grown woman. I am, in fact, a 6year old child who just licked a whole bag of Doritos while only actually eating about 15 chips.

Calorie chart for IPA lovers
Found this super useful calorie chart for beers. There are so many craft brews out there and I've had trouble finding most in the database. This breaks them down by ABV. Obviously, there will be differences in each beer depending on residual sugars and whatnot but this is a great "at a glance" reference.…

All the initialisms please!!
It would be super helpful if anyone will post what all the shorthands in MyFitnessPal (MFP) stand for. I'm spending a lot of time divining what they all mean through contact clues. Thank you in advance!

Why do we lose lean muscle when on a deficit?
Does anyone know the science behind this? I cannot wrap my head around the fact that my body will chew through muscles before the 175,000 (!) spare calories that I'm already schleppinng along as fat.

Smart tip I learned from a pharmacist
Makes great sense and it works for me: If you're trying to lose weight then check the scale only 2-4 times per month. This way, you see bigger motivating numbers If you're maintaining weight then check the scale every morning. This way, you can catch any little changes and make small, easier adjustments right away.

entering "accidental" workouts
So I find myself adding up my little spurts of walking at work, snow shoveling, and household chores. Are these the kind of calories that are previously factored into the "lightly active" lifestyle? I know I'm adding them to smile at the "you'd weight XX in 5 weeks". Anyone else? Best Wishes!

Losing too fast
I'm getting concerned that I'm losing weight too fast. Worst fear is that it's muscle weight. I was off my feet for 3 weeks because of an ankle injury so I was doing a lot of upper body resistance. I get my macros in every day (about 1400 calories plus exercise cals- but I have been more concentrated on my calcium, fiber,…

Help! Can't jog for 3 weeks as per the doc
Gah! Apparently old gymnastics injuries, poor stretching habits, and bad shoes have led to tendonitis and issues in my calf. The doc gave me some fancy equipment (a rubber band and a glorified rolling pin), stretching exercises, and a scar tissue scraping treatment. But I have to stay off jogging and walking for 3-4…
