Eating at a deficit when you're feeling sick OK?
I'm starting to feel sick. Not pukey, stomach flu sick where you don't have an appetite, but just general head cold symptoms - feeling tired and rundown, like my head is in a bubble, and irritated throat/lungs. I get more than enough sleep and I'm not particularly stressed, so it must be a bug of some kind. I've seen…

Dont forget... food is good for you.
I check out allot of peoples daily intake, and like me in the past, they seem to believe that eating as little as possible is the road to success. And like me they will discover that although you may see the scale rocketing towards you altimate goal, it is a false hope. My greatest success was right before my wedding. I…

Too much protein?
I feel like I eat a pretty balanced diet, but I'm constantly finding myself over the recommendation for protein on my diary here on MFP. Only by 20 or less, though. But it's always in the negative. It's never sugar, carbs, fat or sodium. ALWAYS protein. I also don't feel like I'm eating a ton of meat or anything.…

Thanks for the cookies! I love my co-workers.
So, I travel a lot and am in the office about 3-4 days every other week. This entire week my co-workers are in the Christmas spirit and bring cookies to work - home made, store bought, whatever.

Fat from Nuts, Seeds & High-Fat Veggies
Hello! In examining my diet, I have found that I'm eating a LOT of fat from nuts, seeds, and veggies rich in fat like avocado.

HELP: 'Calorie Deficit' clarification
What does 'calorie deficit' actually mean? Should I just be under my calorie goal for the day? Or do I have to burn more calories through exercise than I eat? I did the latter today (AND I AM SO HUNGRY!).. I ate less calories than what I burned and maybe because I am new to this,..but this is really tough! Is this what I…

Does anyone else crave veggies like crazy? Sometimes I wake up and I immediately think "I could go for a big plate of roasted asparagus" or "I would kill for a salad right now".

On the topic of children and nutrition...
I was just reading another thread about passing on good healthy habits to our children. I noticed some comments from someone whose profile says they eat paleo. It got me thinking... If you eat a specific diet i.e. paleo, low carb, vegan or whatever, is that how your child/ren eat(s) too? I have a friend who is kosher and…
