Newly pregnant & struggling to increase my calories
Well, I never thought I'd have this problem! I've been overweight/obese my whole life. I began using MFP only about a month ago. I didn't even own a scale at first, so I was guessing my weight based on info from a month before. But in that short time I've gotten used to eating far less than I did before and I'm a little…

Any single people eating healthy?
Do you cook every day? I’m finding it really difficult to come up with dinner ideas. I wind up eating out most of the time. I really don’t enjoy cooking and kind of find it depressing to make a meal for one.

Deciding to reverse diet, should I?
I think I have officially hit a weight loss plateau, because my weight has stayed the exact same for almost 2 weeks.

I've decided to…

Food Diary History - Where did it go and Miscellaneous.
I joined MFP in 2010, but was not really serious about it. In March 2017 I decided to get fit and lean so I decided to eat clean/healthy and working out religiously. Besides that, I started to track everything I ate here. It took me 6 months to get lean and healthy and in a place I felt comfortable with myself. Here is a…

How many calories in this bag of rice?
I'm trying to figure out the nutritional value of VeeTee Fragrant Thai Jasmine 1kg: It's a 1kg bag of jasmine rice, but the nutritional information is either "(as consumed) per 100g" or "per 120g serving (cooked as per instructions".

What my doctor advised about vitamins and supplements
Basically, that the only vitamin worth taking is D and that most people who take other vitamins are getting too much when combined with vitamins naturally obtained through food. As for supplements (such as glucosamine and turmeric), she said if I really feel like they make a difference, they won't hurt, but her opinion is…

How important are macros?
I'm curious whether people stay religiously within macros? What do you have them set at? Mine were at 35/35/30 (1300 calories) but I struggle to hit that much protein and could always do with more carbs. Does it make a difference to your weight if you stay within calories but go over on macros? Just wondering. Thanks!…

Can I fit this in my macros?
So, there I was minding my own business on the arc trainer this morning scanning the bank of TVs, and this pops up on Fox News. I want it so bad, but don't think it will fit my macros. It's a bacon cheeseburger wrapped in a pepperoni pizza, and baked like a calzone.

Should I have a refeed day?
So for the past 5 days, I haven't lost weight, in fact, I seem to have gained a pound or so. I know, it must be water weight, or maybe it's because of the constipation I'm having (I hope so), but still, it made me realise that at this rate of eating 1200 calories everyday, (have been for a month), my metabolism and fat…

Interesting Studies: Probably low carb related in one way or another
I read a lot of nutrition news, studies, blogs and what not and may mention something I've read when I post. I have no interest in "proving" anything I say but for those genuinely interested in the topic I thought I start a thread to post links as I come across studies I find interesting in some way. The association…

How am I supposed to eat so much?
So guys, as some of you may know, I am 18, 5'5, and weigh around 139 lb. Up until now, I had been eating 1200 calories daily, even less than that.

Need more protein, little meat
Over the past two years as I've lost weight, I've also lost my ability to eat much meat at all- it's like my body just doesn't want it anymore. (No political views, please.) My problem is I'm always short on protein- I eat beans, peas, eggs, peanut butter, lots of cheese, etc but I still can't ever seem to get enough…

100 calories of Oreos versus 100 calories of guacamole

There are 100 calorie single servings of guacamole in the fridge. I considered the Oreos. I even took them back to the living room. Then I thought, will they satisfy my…

When the nutrition info changes [rant/vent]
I looked at the back of the smoked mussels I've been eating for the iron. Yeah, everything changed. *sigh* At least I caught it after eating only one can. Idk where the mussels came from before, but the new ones are 'responsibly farmed', which is great. I'm just annoyed about losing 61% iron per serving. Y'all know the…
