MyFitness Pal and Food Intake

I do have PAM and I use to use it for my eggs all the time, not sure why I switched to the butter. I only have eggs twice a week and I will eliminate cheese and cook it with PAM while adding some spinach or mushrooms to my omlette, good ideas. What are some other snacks high in protein and low carbs/calories? I would welcome the ideas.

Not mad at all, I need and want to work this "tool" to get rid of every ounce of fat I can during my honeymoon period.

I love corn - but look at those carbs for one ounce - Yikes! My go-to veggies are mushrooms, zucchini and summer squash, peppers and onions, and spinach.

The protein bar I'm sure is delicious, but again, too many carbs.  How about Swiss cheese and roast beef slices rolled up together, around a pickle instead?

What are you aiming for in regard to protein??  Is it necessary to go for 100 grams?

Looks good!

I love your vegetable suggestions and I will start using those because I love all of those you mentioned. I only have the protein bars for something to eat before I exercise, but I need to research better ideas about what to eat before working out. My plan calls for 80-100 grams of protein and since I want to retain my muscle mass and not look skinny or scrawny, I try to hit 100 grams.

Do not believe you are burning 600 calories in 60 minutes. It's highly unlikely that you are and most caloric estimates are notoriously inaccurate. 

Nix the bar, nix the corn. Keep the fat - it's a healthy part of a diet. 

To me it seems like you're eating a lot of food. My plan gives me three meals a day - one is a protein shake and two are 4-5 ounces total. 

A stall for three weeks is maintenance in my opinion, do work on lowering your calories. 

Agreed about the exercise machines. I lowered the numbers and I do interval workouts on the machine and that 600 number is my own estimation and I'm still not sure if its accurate or not. I just focus on moving rigorously for 60 minutes, getting my heart rate up, and burning some calories. My plan allows for 4-5 small meals per day and 900 calories so I do need to work on lowering my calories and can easily give up the protein bar for a healthier option. For me, I think the stall is a result of too many calories and not enough exercise, but I now have a better handle on that. Thanks for the input.

I have a weight gain every time I go to the gym..I keep hearing it's muscle weight not fat..and I'm sure people are right, but it doesn't help much when I get on the scale..I just started using My Fitness Pal and find it's so much easier to keep track on. Best of luck to you.

Exercise has a very minimal impact on weight loss.  It's great for overall health, but focusing on diet is your best bet.  

use real butter.  use real meat, not processed/packaged/frozen stuff like tyson (less fillers, more nutrition, less calories/protein in meat you cook yourself from fresh).  green veggies only.  weigh the cheese (and anythign else that is calorie dense like nuts, nut butter, etc  ... measuring cups are inaccurate). maybe try 1 whole egg and 1-2 egg whites, less fat more proteins.  and mcdonalds ... I know it's unavoidable sometimes, but a bad habit to keep up IMO (jsut dont go!  lol)
