This can't be a plateau! What do I do?
I haven't lost a pound in months. I know that I've been a bit sleep deprived with 2 kids under 2 but I should have lost something. Here are my stats- 5'3" and 180 set to lose a pound a week at 1500. I lost my 1st 20 pounds of baby weight in 3 months (the summer). I looked at my nutrition since 90 days ago and it evens out…

Office treats :(
So I work in a bullpen (a big square cube where four of us work, one at each corner, plus one extra girl in between. I love my coworkers, BUT one of the girls is constantly bringing in treats. She's probably 100 lbs and 5 ft tall and doesn't eat anything she brings in. Worse yet, she leaves them literally right next to me…

Macros: Over on fat?
So I'm trying to pay more attention to macros for good health. In my experience, good macro ratios aren't necessarily needed for weight loss, but I want a good overall balance. I planned out my menu for tomorrow (planning is another thing I have to work on if I want to accomplish good macros), & really can't seem to stay…

Truthful food labels?
I generally try to stay away from packaged foods, but I use the once in a while, and wonder how accurate the food labels really are. Does anyone remember a news story about how an ice cream company got caught mislabeling, and was grossly under-reporting calorie content? It was about 10 years ago, but it always stuck in my…

Water Consumption - How Much is Too Much?
If spaced out properly over a day, is there a limit on how much water a person should drink? Obviously, it can be dangerous to drink too much at once, but at what point does it become counterproductive to consume more water?

Diet vs. calorie intake?
So, I've been wondering...as long as I'm staying under my daily calorie intake, does it really matter what I'm eating? Like, could I eat a whole package of Oreo's as long as that was all I ate that day? And how does processed sugar negatively effect your body? I have another issue that I could really use some help with.…

Runs Problems
I've had the squirts (diarrhea, loose stools) for the last three days. I blame the 3-day-old Subway sandwich my kid didn't finish, that I ended up finishing. It was in the fridge the whole time, so I thought it would be okay. It was tasty -- Spicy Italian -- the $5 sub for November. I saw that my wife and left about 3" of…

eating before a workout
what kind of recommendations do you all have for eating before a morning workout? I had a very scary experience this morning. I forgot to eat beforehand and passed out about halfway through working out. I don't want to eat a lot before hand as to not feel nauseas, but what do you all recommend?

What is the easiest way you count calories?
Now that I know the ideal amount of calories, what's the easiest way to keep track? I'm kind of a disorganized person and always on the run so it's difficult to stop and add everything up. What works best for you? Do you prepare meals for the entire week or do you purchase frozen meals that already have the calories added…

When you're sick, EAT!
I currently have the flu, and I've had it for several days. The last thing I feel like doing is putting food into my mouth. I haven't been hungry in a few days. Even though loss of appetite is a common symptom when you're sick with anything, this is just a friendly reminder to eat something. It doesn't matter how big or…

Is this spotty lettuce safe to eat?
It doesn't smell or taste any different that I can tell; although I am using a new dressing so maybe that would hide the difference. The texture seems off and it's covered in transparent spots. This is from one of those salad mix bags. I just bought it yesterday and opened it just now. (now watch my pic not post)

Just wondering if anyone else can share their experience/solution to this problem... When I eat protein (say a big veggie omlet and bacon, or a yogurt with fruit), I get hungrier sooner than if I ate a bagel instead.

Who Allows Themselves a "FREE DAY"?
Just curious who else out there does this. I agree with the concept... by allowing yourself one day to eat whatever you want, you can stick to your diet more religiously the other 6 days - and keep doing it for a long time to come. I find that after my free day (which was yesterday), I feel so crappy that I can't wait to…
