An "am I eating enough" question/TDEE
Hi guys! I recently did a metabolic reset for 8 weeks, which left me with a few extra lbs (started at about 112, made it up to 117, mostly because of going over on the holidays). At the beginning of January I started making attempts to eat at my TDEE -10 (possibly even less than 10% depending on what calculator I use) and…

Dieting and Subways
I have always always loved subways. They are amazing. However since starting dieting I have been fairly confused about them. I had always thought they were fairly healthy (If you ignore the carbs from the bread) but trying to find out how many cals per sub is impossible! MFP has soo many different calories for very similar…

Good moooooorning, MFP, and happy Valentine's Day! I come to you to pick your brains.

Cottage Cheese - Can I eat too much
I love, love, love cottage cheese. I love the way it tastes and it is very easy. Under the theory that too much of anything isn't good for you, I've limited myself to one 3.5 serving container per day, 315 calories. I typically eat it for lunch with a bell pepper. Next week, I plan on eating a 2nd container with grape…

Diet Coke vs. Coke Zero
What is the point of both of these existing? And which do you prefer? I don't drink soda regularly, but when I do, I prefer the taste (aspartame! lol) of Diet Coke. Regular Coke is just so viscous. We got Coke Zero tonight and it's thick like regular Coca Cola but in a bubbly way instead of a syrupy way. Which do you like?

What makes you fall off the wagon?
So, what makes you "fall off the wagon" of good eating? And how do you prevent it? For me, it seems like every week or every few weeks I get to a point when I'm just so hungry.....then I relax, and the next thing I know I'm eating everything I swore I wouldn't touch. What can I do to prevent this from happening?
