What do you do when you can't meet a macro?
In my diet I usually aim for 90g of protein, which is a struggle enough on most days, but I'm going to broke for at least a couple days, and nothing in my house is going to get me to that goal. At most I figure I can get 40 - 50g, but what do I do with the calories that will be left over? Should I cut my calories by a…

Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes
OK, so I must be PMSing, because I have a chocolate craving. Just made a batch of chocolate cupcakes, substituting a can of pumpkin for the oil/water/eggs in the cake mix. Per my calculations one cupcake (not iced), will be about 89 calories (YAY!). I know they are not the best as far as sugar goes, but better than a slice…

counting calories when JUICING?
I forgot to eat before the gym (IDIOTIC MOVE, seriously, had to cut cardio at 40 mins., as I started feeling dizzy.), so obviously when I came back I wanted to refuel and eat a horse. So, along with my snack I decided to try a homemade juice. How do I log those calories? I read somewhere to substract 10% if I skip the core…

Eating Seasonally
I care a lot about local eating, and it's not good for my carbon footprint if I buy things from other countries. I live in Canada, and right now it's almost winter, but my boyfriend and I are managing really well on eating seasonally.

Eating Rape Oil
Someone just shared this with me, and I'm just truly at a loss for words. Recently I bought a cooking oil that's new to our supermarkets, Canola Oil. I tried it because the label assured me it was lowest in "bad" fats. However, when I had used half the bottle, I concluded that the label told me surprisingly little else and…

Outside of eating a salad at lunch every day, I am kind of lost as to how you double veggies and fruits. Oh, and I am a vegetarian, so doubling them is a HUGE amount of vegges/fruits!

Clarification on the calorie/BMR/TDEE numbers game?
I found the brilliant "In Place of a Road Map" (by Helloitsdan) thread today. It was clear, concise, and perfect for the newb that I am. I follow the directions, do my measurements, plug numbers, and then... WOAH! I'm eating 600 calories fewer than I should be? AND below BMR? It makes sense to me that I should at least be…

Calorie Cycling?
Calorie cycling/zig zagging. Does anybody here do it, have done and did it work for you? Was it helpful? I have been thinking about changing my calorie intake daily.

Keifer's Carb Backloading ebook: a discussion
For those of you who have read it... thoughts? The big points I took away from it are that you can use/manipulate the body's natural cycles to take advantage of high cortisol levels for fat burning and high insulin levels for muscle growth. With the correct timing and supplements, you can burn fat with virtually no muscle…
