Cooking advice
So, I'm a beginner cook. I used to hate cooking, but now I'm starting to enjoy it. I get most of the recipes online, but there's a lot I can't do because of cookware/bakeware that I have yet to get. Are there any "must have" essentials that I need, or any advice that would come in handy as I'm learning to cook?

Why Do You Crave?
I see a lot of posters here bemoan their lack of self-control and beat themselves up about their inability to stick to a fitness plan. It can certainly be a challenge and nobody has perfect self-control. But what makes it even harder is how processed foods are engineered. There is an excellent article on the subject by…

Wishful calorie counts on MFP?
Often when I'm searching for foods to add to my log (and sometimes when I snoop and read other people's diaries) I see calorie counts that are just so obviously wrong. For instance, I ate an avocado yesterday and found several potential entries on the MFP list...the first one I clicked on gave a calorie count of 90. For a…

Caloric goals
So, when I first started MFP I had my goal at 1200 calories, and I did okay for about 6 months, and then I "fell off the wagon" and wasn't back onto MFP until recently. I started a 10 week challenge with some friends, so I've been more into it this time. But I started off with 1300 cals, and at first I was not exercising,…

Afraid of overeating, but definitelty undereating
Hell mfp-ers, So recently I have found that I'm working out more than ever and attempting to maintain my 1,200-1,300 calories a day routine. Some days I feel stuffed at 1,200 and other days I'm famished. Some days I can't get myself to eat the 1,200 calories, because I"m afraid of gaining weight. Some days I have about…

Any thoughts on Muscle Milk by cytosport
Anyone have any input on this product? I've heard mixed reviews. It does have a ridiculous amount of protein with very few carbs. But some of my friends say it makes women fat....what say ye?

Always Hungry After Dinner
And no, I am far from undereating. I eat at my TDEE - 20%, which is 1900 calories, and often end up closer to 2000. I have my macros set to 45c, 30f, 25p, and get 100g + of protein a day. I am 5'10 and 133-135Ibs. I have large dinners, usually something like chicken breast or baked wild salmon, sweet potato and a large…

Caffine and IBS
I suffer from IBS and I have learned that one of the main triggers for me is coffee because of the caffine in it (decaf is just as bad). I love having a hot beverage in the morning as I read my devotions so when I wanted to make sure coffee was really a problem I switched to hot chocolate (no sugar added kind) and I feel…

sodium, again
I have recently begun noticing how much sodium I take in every day, and while it's not the same each time, the numbers do seem really high, to me. I know we need salt throughout our days, and I know some people are more sensitive to it than others (I don't know where I fall in those two groups, honestly, but I feel fine…

I know a lot of people will follow a clean eating diet and I know that can be a bit pricey.
