Vegetarian/Lowering meat intake
Morning everyone, My husband said to me last night that he wants to cut out meat for a month to see if it gives him more energy.... Firstly, is that even a thing? I mean, i can't see how not eating meat will give you more energy? Secondly, how can he get his protein levels up if he isnt eating as much meat? He eats meat…

Cooking for Vastly Different Needs
My DH is 5’11 with an active job. I’m 5’3 and mostly sedentary (yes, yes I know - but it’s reality right now). When he is gone, eating well & losing weight are fairly easy for me... but when he is home I really struggle! If I cook for myself, even serving him larger portions he is ravenous. If I cook for him, I end up…

Weighing food
When weighing out foods, particularly chicken breast and high-fiber foods, how are we supposed to do it? I have been putting my weight in chicken by ounces and figuring up 25% less due to cooking. So if I input 5.0 ounces of great value chicken breast, then I actually put 3.75 ounces on my plate. Is this correct? Also, for…

Sticking to calories but weight not going down?
I started training 3 times per week for the past month at a gym, lots of strength and conditioning and I’m keeping my steps over 70K per week. I’m eating 1600 cals per day, 5’4 female. While I feel fitter, stronger and positive and in tracking everything my weight is not going down. Should I reduce my calories or wait…

Great meal replacement smoothie!
I created this smoothie and think it’s a great (and delicious) meal replacement. I’m not a nutritionist so please correct me if I’m wrong. It totals 23g protein, 51gm carbs (but no empty ones) and 17gm fat but all healthy fat. Not sure if that’s a good ratio, you can always add another scoop of protein powder or use almond…

Portions, weights and measures confusion.
I'm getting more and more frustrated when I try and select previous entries of food into my diary from the database. What use are portion sizes like, 'a piece', 'one whole pie', 'a slice', 'a portion', 'a serving'? And while I understand a 'cup' is a known US measure, it is a measure of volume, not mass! So you cannot e.g.…

Assistance (?) How to check the total Calcium/ Iron/ Vitamin A/ Vitamin C consumed in a day
I don't get how to use this website- I need to see the amount of Calcium, Iron, and Vitamin A and C I had, but the food diary doesn't show those things. Do I need to retype everything into the database, record the amount of calcium/ iron/ vitamin a/ vitamin c I had per item of food, and then add up the percentages in order…

Where are vitamins/nutrients counted?
I take a lot of vitamins and supplements and I’d like to see a total for all of them but they only seem to count vitamin C and iron unless there’s somewhere else I should be looking? Also I got a red negative notice on vitamin C because it thinks I had too much vitamin C? That’s ridiculous! Vitamin C is water soluble and…

How to effectively use MFP for Keto
Hi there. I'm just starting out with Keto after much deliberation and seeing some incredible successes by a few of my friends (one of whom lost 140lbs in about 16 months). I'm trying to figure out how to effectively use this app to keep proper track of this but there are no keto plans etc. Can anyone please let me know how…

Cooking with Protein powder
How do you use your protein powder? I have a whole container full of vanilla protein powder & have only used it twice, once in my oatmeal (which went horribly) and once with my Kodiak protein pancakes which was a great choice. Im trying to find ways to use my powder without turning it into a shake (but recipes for shakes…

Just Went from Keto diet to Low carb Diet for cutting
I recently lost over 40lbs on a strict Keto OMAD diet for the last 5 months. I am currently at about 235 and looking to get down to 215 while on a low carb cutting diet. Does this switch from keto to low carb in such a short amount of time have any draw backs? I have been feeling great with a lot more energy but i feel as…

Surely these calories are wrong?
I LOVE chopped pork from uk supermarket morrisons. It’s really just quite thin slices of ham. Whenever I try to find calories for it all I can find is places saying around 55 calories per slice. This seams unbelievably high! It’s just thin slices of ham. Do you guys think this will be right? Best to just totally avoid it?

Thoughts on monthly cheat days?
So if you have read any of my previous posts, you know I have an enormous appetite and sometimes have issues controlling my food intake. I was wondering if anyone has had success with monthly cheat days. I tried much smaller weekly cheat days or just a cheat meal, but it is not enough to satisfy my cravings. If I…

Day three of keto
I'm on day three of keto and to say I'm starving is an understatement. I feel like my body is missing the higher carb intake. I'm trying my best to stick to 5% carbs but it's been more like 10-15%. I have been eating really well and sticking within my calorie limit. Is it normal to feel this hungry after a few days? I felt…

Calorie Question
So for the past threeish weeks I've been eating around 2360 calories. I haven't been super consistent with exercising (maybe 2-3 times a week out of 4). I've been losing weight slowly but there's been two days this week where I've had some family events and ate more than the 2360. What's weird though is that each day I ate…

Protein & Cardio Question.
So I have my protein goal for the day. However, when I do cardio and log it, the macros go back up, including the protein of course. My question, do I have to eat the extra in order to hit my goal for the day, or if I hit my first number so I not need to worry about it? Sorry if it’s a dumb question or if I’m in the wrong…

Halo Top
If you buy Halo top ice cream, ever notice the skimpy amount in the carton? It says 3.5 servings but when I open them, there's literally 1.5 servings missing. So I made my own. Now I have 5 servings with only 5 ingredients. Still tweaking it but at least I'm not getting jipped.

Freezer Meal Preps
I want to streamline my diet. My idea is to have a set amount of calories for my evening meal after I get home from work at 8PM. I want to create freezer preps in such a way that they can be frozen and reheated in a microwave thus allowing me to bulk shop for vegetables and such then cook and store them. I'm planning on…
