• is there any way to see calorie information for food at eagle landing?

  Sign up to myfitnesspal.com and input all your details and set target for weightloss at 0.5 - 1lb a week / 0.5/1kgs week (whatever is suitable). Dont go too high on the weightloss per week. I lost a lot of weight using that site (and its free!). - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Losing weight is not for me.

  I don't know what kind of diet you are on, but if it eliminates ANYTHING (carbs, grains, etc) stop right now. Unless you have a medical problem, because you're just going to give up and get fatter. Weght watchers has allowed me to eat what I want and drop 40lbs. It's slower but it works. My husband used myfitnesspal.com (free) to lose 170lbs. The word you need to focus on itsn't motivation or willpower - it's... - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

I use the myfitnesspal.com and their app and it helps. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Staying Fit

  Everyone has opinions when it comes to dieting: no carbs/carbs, track macros, fast at these hours, etc. Literally the only thing that is solid science is consume less calories than your body needs that day. There are decent tools out there like myfitnesspal.com to track it; use it every single day. If you want to splurge, you have to earn it via exercise (the app/website accounts for this). Of course, you can... - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• Best strategy for weight loss through cycling?

  I also use myfitnesspal.com to track calories and such. It also link to Garmin/strava or whatever so it accounts for the amount of calories registered from you workout that day. You can select a goal for calories for the day in terms of how much weight you want to lose per a given time period. Of course all calories are not created equally. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• No sugar November

  If you're not already using a fitness tracker like myfitnesspal.com to keep track of your daily nutrient intake, you might find it helpful to start using one while making this adjustment. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Activity Algorithm Different?

  I like that the watch syncs with myfitnesspal.com and even make efforts to track calories. But if I don't select an activity before starting a workout, will the heartrate and calorie burn still be the same as though I did? Does the software distinguish between "activity" and "non-activity" metrics? - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Is my calorie intake too low?

  I'm 176 cm tall. I switched my activity level to sedentary (which may be more accurate depending on the definition), which brought me down to 1900. Entering the same information in myfitnesspal.com got me 1500, so I'm thinking the app was overestimating. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

• I want to lose weight and I am having trouble doing it healthy. Do you have any advice?

  Dieting is HARD. it's also expensive. I've had to halt my own diet because we can only afford the most inexpensive food due to inflation and something that ruined my financial situation in 2020 that wasn't the pandemic. I use myfitnesspal.com when I diet, and it does help a lot, you just have to keep diligent. there's a "premium" that you can buy, but honestly, you don't need it. The free stuff is sufficient enough. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

• Not the most attractive smoothie (but then again, what smoothie is?) This is my post-run go-to "BoB" shake. Banana, Oats, Berries, protein shake and yoghurt, with water and ice. Shall try a higher-protein lower-carb powder when this can runs out.

  The app is myfitnesspal.com - that's a screenshot from the web version but there is also a phone app (which is, of course, linked). - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

• Supporting a partner through weight-loss

  I used myfitnesspal.com (also an app) to keep track of what I was eating. You dont have to live on lentils and salad. I lost over 30kg (nothing else had ever worked for me). Counting calories is not difficult and this site/app is extremely popular and is very easy to use. Just need to make sure stats and goals are correct and realistic. Maybe say you came across it and start using it yourself? You can both... - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago

• How do you make sure you're eating all your nutrients?

  I am presently using myfitnesspal.com, the free version, I am not sure the free version tracks every micronutrient but I do take a multivitamin and eat a rainbow of veggies and fruits. It lets me enter my own recipes so it is convenient to log, say, portions of soup for the week. Lots of folks like cronometer.com too but I don't have experience with it. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago

• My boyfriend dumped me for being overweight

  There are tons of workout channels on youtube that focus on making you burn calories and build muscle. Next up, watch your calories. So far, myfitnesspal.com really does it for me. You gotta watch quantities and portion sizes and the app counts it all for you and so far it really helps me keep up the new eating habits (it's been three weeks for me and I lost 4-5 lbs) they have meal plans and recipes, but I don't... - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• how do i tell my parents i need to eat healthier?
