Please can I see your food diaries?!
Hi, I would be really grateful if you could add me so I can look at your food diary if it's open?! I think it would really help me pick up healthy food ideas, and where I could cut back on excess sugar etc, and perhaps alternative foods that I might not even have thought about! I don't care how much you have to lose,or how…

Grocery List Suggestions
I am getting myself back into the groove of eating a balanced diet. I do best when I eat Low fat/ High Protien Diet. I allow myself carbs from veggies, fruit and low fat dairy. I do not eat pasta, rice, potatoes or unneccessary carbs. So my question is, what items do you keep stocked at all times in your house? Especially…

Question on calorie goal and running.
I work at home as a typist but have added running 5 to 6 days a week 3 to 4 miles a day. Right now I am set for a sedentary lifestyle on my calories here. Should I up that to account for the running? I find that I am hungry all the time now.

I have used my last loaf of Smart Wheat that I had frozen. I'm very sad, as I can no longer by this, since Hostess is gone! I need a replacement. I have not found one I like yet. I have tried Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat and I do not care for it. Any suggestions?

So what is a "healthy" deficit?
My goal (set my MFP) is 1820 a day. I have come in under that each day and am reading on these boards that is not a good thing. I thought the fewer calories the better? So what is a healthy deficit that won't sabotage your weight loss?

Bring your Scale to the Restaurant...Have you?
So my boyfriend treated me to dinner tonight at Buca di Beppo, a family style restaurant. (I have enough leftovers for about a week.) As we were leaving I looked at him and asked, "Would you be embarrassed if I brought my scale to weigh my portions?" He cocked his head to one side and replied, "Why would I be embarrassed?…

Has anyone ever made tacos with ground turkey instead of beef? Does it still taste good? Did you do anything different to it to affect taste?

Weekly caloric intake vs daily???
I am beginning to add up my calories on a weekly basis, to see my weekly deficit rather than daily. It seems this is an easier way to see the "big picture", and also because some days I'm low on cals, some days higher.. how do you guys do it?

Freezing bread and toasting ..
Now, last time I lost weight I hardly touched bread as I'd usually head off to work without breakfast and have an early lunch. Now I'm at home, I've really got into the routine of eating toast for breakfast, but it's white bread. And I LOVE white bread. I love granary bread aswell, but not for toasting! With white bread I…

SlimFast- does it actually work?
So on an impulse, I bought one of those containers of SlimFast powder (they were on sale for New Years dieters I guess.) Has anyone had good results using their 3-2-1 plan? I just tried the stuff, it's...not awful. I could work with this. On the flip side, has anyone had really bad experiences with it? I'd think you'd get…

Night Shifters....
I'm switching to night shift (6AM - 6PM) next week [yes, as in two days from now lol]. I'm also going back to school starting next week [yikes]. Anyway, I was curious how you other night shifters handle your eating schedule -- do you just reverse it and do all your normal meals spread out over night or do you alter it a…

Splurge Day
I've heard about the concept of a splurge day, but the science seems a little murky to me. Basically the idea is that once every so often (a week, two weeks etc) you purposely blow your calorie count by like 500 calories, to keep your metabolism up or some such idea. It doesn't really make sense to me though. It seems to…

What is the one food you wish had no calories
Just for fun! What's the one food/meal that you wish wasn't unhealthy for you? Mine is super plain. Chips. Any and all kinds. It's my addiction.

I used to not eat veggies, but have come a ways and now eat a salad a day or two. I still don't think I'm getting In enough veggies and would like to incorporate Greens+ in my diet, but I'm just not sure how. How do you mix it?

Explain in crayon please
Ok, I am a very bright person, but for some reason am having a hard time deciding what calorie intake I should have. I have done the BMR calculations, and according to those results I should be eating about 1702 to lose weight. That to me just seems like an awful lot. Can somebody please explain to me how I will not be…

Macro break-down
Hi guys, MFP has been telling me that I've been spending too many calories on protein and carbs and not enough on fat. I drink milk, I use olive spread and I use a small amount of oil in cooking. I'm really not comfortable with raising my fat intake and then not having enough calories left to use for feeling full. I've…

Calorie goal
I know this topic has probably been done to death, but how much under your calorie goal is a bad thing? My goal per day is around 1610 since I'm trying to lose weight. On most days I'm usually between 400-600 under that goal. I always eat whenever I feel hungry, but since I've been working out and eating better for the…
