Calories and eating (almost) clean
I eat clean most of the time and have for years even though I am heavy (257) and now that I'm actually following a plan and working out regularly I'm noticing I don't eat nearly enough. How on Earth do I manage to get to 1800 calories, I feel like I've been eating all day and barely broke 1,000?

How much water?
I'm not talking about the cup of coffee, but the plain jane water. I remember someone saying you should drink half your weight in ounces of water. So if I'm 215# i should drink 108oz each day?

Snacking

Any Vitamins to help with weight loss out there?
Hey guys, I just had a query about Vitamins. I'm basically taking Swisse ultivite for women (Multivitamins) and Swisse Iron tablets, but I also wanted to know if there is a kind of vitamin that can help aid to weight loss on the market.

egg substitutes for vegans?
What's a good "egg substitute" for vegans? Like, I've heard of people subbing Tofu and pumpkin, but if I say, randomly put in a 1/2 cup of pumpkin instead of 2 eggs in say, a pancake recipe, won't that taste weird?... I'm looking for something that actually "cooks" the same way as eggs - like, things that won't mess up the…

More calories without more carbs?
I'm starting to get discouraged because I've been going at this for about 6 weeks and haven't lost any weight. I feel much better, so it's not like I'm tempted to go back to my old ways, but I'm just kind of confused. When I re-started in November, I logged my food for about a week to get a feel for how much I should be…

VEGANS- help me please!
I've been a lacto/ovo vegetarian for years. It all started with the fact that I just didn't like meat at all. It grossed me out, hated the taste, texture, etc. When I found out about the insane cruelty that happens within the meat industry, that just validated my vegetarian diet even more, for me personally. I just…

Educate me on carb cycling
The current program that I'm following will have me carb cycling the last 3 weeks of the 12 week program. I've never done carb cycling and don't fully understand it.

Good substitutes for pasta?
I am a vegetarian and I'm trying to stay away from using bread and pasta as the vehicle for everything I cook. Does anyone have any cheap and healthy ways to cook without these two temptations?

Can I do this with food?
I have some recipes that I think are low calorie but I am not sure. Is there a function on this website that lets you type in a recipe and the number of servings it makes and then it tells you how many calories per serving you have?
