Fitbit With Myfitnesspal



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use the fitbit?

I wish I understood more about allowing more calorie intake with exercise. If I am exercising and not increasing my calories, (not hungry) will my body store and lose slower then if I increase the calories??

And should they be protien calories out can it be veggies and fruit? ?

Thanks for any insight.

I love my fit bit! But I don't allow myself the extra calories from exercise. Not saying that I don't go over my amount for the day at times! I lost the most when I stayed at 1000 calories a day and exercised. Both my dr and nutritionist do not believe in starvation mode.

:wub: :wub: :wub: LOVE my FITBIT and LOVE MYFITNESSPAL! I am not a fan of increasing calories to "make up" for calories exercised off. However, I do find that I am sometimes a touch hungrier if I do high cardio work. I just add more Protein (greek yogurt) as a snack instead of something less filling.

I love my FitBit teamed up with Myfitnesspal just almost as much as I love my band. And my husband :)

I don't eat back any of the calories I burned. I aim for "net" calories between 300-500 a day. I usually consume about 800 calories and try to burn off about 400 with exercise daily. It's been working great for me, but each person is individual.

Can you give your nutritionist a call or email to have the calorie in/calorie burned process? That would probably be the best resource.

What is a fitbit?! :)

A fitbit is a calorie count/pedometer/activity level tracker/stair flight tracker all in one! IT IS AMAZING. I have had mine for a long time now, and it really motivates me to get out there and increase my numbers.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
