Who out there uses Myfitnesspal?

[rebeckyt]

Hello all!! Curious to see how many of us use myfitnesspal and if anyone is interested in swapping usernames to get a little more support from everyone here by adding each other as friends. I thought it may also be useful to show those whom are hesitant to increase thier calorie consumption to see what some of us eat so they realize it's not such a scary thing. You need to eat to grow and look better after all! So my username on the site is same as here:

Cheers!

I'm on there as well, it'd be nice to check out some other diaries and see what others who are lifting eat. I don't have too many friends on there that lift.

I am surprised that MFP gave me 1200 calories per day ( inc 30 mins excercise 6 days pw) to lose 5kg when my TDEE is 2171.
Thats pretty low, does anyone agree? I eat that by lunch time!
At the moment macos etc are still a little confusing to me.

[texaschik]

I'm on there - daynasrose. I could definitely use some encouragement when it comes to increasing calories.

[stephanielynn76]

I started out almost 2 years ago tracking on MFP but have since quit logging my food. I pretty much eat the same stuff all the time anyway and I just got tired of doing it. I will start back up again when I start my cut. I do still keep a blog there that I post on regularly though.... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/stephanielynn76

What calories are you eating and what is your goal?

I agree the values it recommends are much too low. I ignore the recommendations and added in my own calorie level and macros. I also changed the number of meals and meal names to suit my day.

Wow, ya I started a thread about it but yours seems to be getting more hits!!! Lol Lioness_27 if anyone wants to follow me

What calories are you eating and what is your goal?

I'm trying to stick to 1400-1600 cals, and I'm trying to lose fat. Basically I want to lose weight (fat) and become smaller. I also want to get more definition in my body and firm up - my mummy belly is a big problem area.

Thanks : ) Yeah i have mine set at 1800 now which is more achievable, not taking exercise into account which is maybe around 200 on average...

My username is MrsDaKine. My family (husband and 3 of our kids) started working out in June after a 7 year hiatus of all physical activity. Eating healthy has been my enemy. I am legitimately addicted to M&M's. I would eat a 10 lb bag a day if I wasn't so embarrassed for having an addiction. So this app helps expand my menu and keep track of macros.

Definite encouragement needed!

auto calories are 1200 on myfitnesspal but there is a customizable option. You can use the stickies in the nutrition section to figure out your calories/macros for your goals (weightloss vs. muscle building)

I'm LaDonnaF on there!

I just started using it, I'd add you all, but I don't want to be held accountable for what I eat

I have a question though, for the girls who have been tracking their food for a long time. If you take a fish oil or a flax oil supplement, do you log that as well? I haven't, mainly because I'm lazy, but I've been thinking about it for the past couple of days.
