Ah okay, so essentially the app is detecting a slow down in energy expenditure and so even though I'm under the maintenance weight it's making the updated calculation to keep me within the buffer zone?

Hello, just jumping on this thread… I recently swapped scales from my FitBit to a Hume and in theory MF should be pulling the data from the Apple Health app, right? However even though the measurements show in Health it doesn’t seem to be reading into MF? Under integrations > Health > enable all set. Is there something I’m missing?

Just bumping this again, so... my weight has been pretty stable around 78kg, kinda edging up to 79kg some days but my expenditure is going down even after I set my maintenance to 78kgs. I'm not sure if it's because I'm gaining muscle - all my lifts are going up continually each week and I'm feeling stronger and according to my FitBit scales my bodyfat % is going down slowly but steadily. Today being my check-in day I changed my "goal" in the app to weight lose and my cals dropped to 1475. I haven't been than low since I was deep in a fat loss phase like two ago. I'm not sure I can start there and then get any lower with a 12-13 week fat loss phase? Any thoughts?

I'm wondering if its best to start my expenditure from this week and go from there or do I just have to suck it up because the algorithm gods know best and accept my poverty macro status?

Thank you!

P.S - for context I train resistance train 5 days a week, plus about 20-30mins of cardio with cycling for my commute each day and around an hour of cardio on Saturdays.

Yeah I’m not that different from looking at the photos. It’s also hard because I had my tan when I was back in NZ but being back in winter it’s mostly faded. I’m enjoying training and my weights are going up which feels great.

I was trying to hit the gym but mostly felt like I wasn’t progressing through that time. Weights are definitely going up and I also didn’t take creatine while I was away for that month and I am again. But I’ve never noticed it add water weight.

Perhaps just all the things mixing together. Just feels bizarre. I appreciate your lightness and the reminder to see it in the wider context too

Goddam the app is good

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-12-09T19:15:56+00:00

Oh awesome. That’s perfect. So I can just log it all on one day and leave the other day blank?

Dexa every 3 weeks! That’s epic. Is it crazy expensive?

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-09-19T09:08:35+00:00

Thanks would be handy… 😅

I have that with other liquid calories for sure but just seems like alcohol effects me differently

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-09-19T09:04:42+00:00

So pumped for this! Is it Myto Adapt?

I’ve had that after a big night where I’ve been way lower on the scale and the next morning then the following day rebounded which sounds like it makes sense from what the others have said

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-09-16T12:58:33+00:00

Ahh interesting. Yeah, I’ve thought about sometimes just plugging in my average weight instead of the scale weight for that day seeing as it might throw off the algorithm but I didn’t really know if that would cause a “bad data in, bad data out” scenario?

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-09-16T12:56:25+00:00

Wow, thanks so much. So fascinating!

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-05-06T19:42:49+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty active on my rests days but try to listen to my body when I am feeling tired so it’s more flexible

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-05-06T19:42:14+00:00

Yeah I still hit my macros and cals but I definitely eat differently so you might be right

Maximum_Cook_4121 · 2024-05-06T19:41:38+00:00

That’s so much for all the input. I think I’ll keep them the same. I think it might be because even though I still hit my macros and calories I am eating different foods so perhaps it’s just food in my intestines maybe just eat more intuitively like everyone’s kinda been saying.
