Mum gave me an ice cream
“Are you putting on weight?”
Mum gave me a Kit Kat
“Probably, although I was hoping it would be muscle rather than fat”
FFS!

01/08/24 - 11st 6.6lbs / 72.1 kg
July Month = Gain of 1.6 lbs / 0.7 kg 
Funny how training less, but eating & drinking more doesn’t result in weight loss. 
Cheers, Paul.

Got on the scales yesterday, first time in about a year.
Dark day. Read 14 stone.
Need to sort this out.

I’m in the same boat. Injuries and illness has resulted in me being 9kg over race weight. The most I’ve weighed since 2016! I am really finding it hard to change the trend. Hopefully some consistent running will help.
I’ve started food tracking and added 30 g of peanut butter for my lunch wrap: 1200 calories (+190 for the wrap)!
myfitnesspal is suggesting a goal of 1500 calories per day (without exercise). The peanut butter wrap pretty much took care of that! How does this work: 30g of peanut butter has 97 g of Fat?

Must be a danger of capsize, with you both in that boat
(Sorry 
couldn’t resist & no offence intended 
)

Unless peanut butter is the hitherto unheard of Tardis of food spreads it’s simply not possible 
I’m more of an almond butter man myself.

Unfortunately as you have discovered a lot of the food in the MFP database is community sourced, and hence in many cases, completely wrong.
I’m guessing it’s per 100g?

Their website says 30g is 182Kcals and 14.6g of fat.

The fats, carbs and protein add up to 174g, so maybe a 200g serving size ?
Or 2/3 of a jar

Doesn’t add up either way

Haven’t posted for a couple of months as been a bit hit & miss with gym etc. but have got into a bit of a routine over the last few weeks and been consistently training whilst averaging about 180g of protein per day.
Weight has been creeping up, strength is getting better at gym & trousers/belts getting a bit looser so I feel like I’m adding a little muscle & losing a little fat which would be perfect if correct.
Despite this scales are showing bodyfat going up so that kost of the weight gain is fat, which I just don;t believe given the other evidence. I think I’ll just ignore the other metrics and go with weight only and the other visual markers of bodyfat.

I jumped on the scales for the first time in a long time and was quite pleased with 80.3kgs. I’d been stuck around 82kgs for ages but have had a fairly crap diet this year. So despite having a decrease in regular exercise over the last few weeks, I’ve still dropped some, will hopefully keep this going now and get back into the 70s!

You’ve tracked 200g by the look of it, that is 1212 kcal.
30g is in the title of the food as a serving size but thats not what is tracked.
If you tracked 0.15 (200g × 0.15=30g) it will be correct for 30g
0.15 x 97g of fat = 14.6g of fat for 30g serving. Which is correct for 30g as @Bob pointed out.

FML - a week of croissants, French cheese and it has to be said a tonne of nice wine and beer - despite doing plenty of running - 74.4kg on the scales tonight - while usual weigh in time is first thing in the morning, that came as a shock
Right - no booze in September, no choc, no refined sugar and no crisps

The good news is that I made great progress after my wife’s niece and kids left us.
24/08/24 - 11st 4.6lbs / 71.9 kg – Which is my lowest weight in a very long time. 
The bad news is that was all undone when her brother arrived for a week at the end of August.
(In 8 days, we ate out 4 times + 1 BBQ, plus 
on 7/8 days! 
)
01/09/24 - 11st 7.2lbs / 73.1 kg
August Month = Gain of 0.6 lbs / 0.3 kg
Still, in other good news, my 32” waist shorts now fit and I haven’t worn them in years either.
Even a vaguely normal September short see me back on track. 
Cheers, Paul.
