Eating back exercise calories not for me?
I'm starting to think eating back exercise calories is not for me. I don't lose as much weight when I eat back all my calories. I'd lose like .8lbs each week by doing that. This past week, I ate close to 1200 calories each day did not eat back the exercise calories and lost 3lbs. Maybe it's just because I kicked my body…

Finding Nutritional Value when eating out
I was wondering if anyone had/has the same problem that I do with counting calories when eating out and if have you found a solution/work around etc... By far MFP is the best as having the biggest database of food information so that's why I joined. But it doesn't have everything. The situation: 1. I am in sales so "wine &…

Does anyone else round up a lot?
I don't really do this on purpose, I just record what I'm getting ready to eat, and I dole out my servings, but many times, I just can't finish the food, it's like my stomach has gotten smaller since I've started counting and exercising. And when I look at my Cal's at the end of the day, I know that it's probably a tiny…

Treating yourself every once in a while..
I've been trying to avoid eating unhealthy foods like pizza, chocolate, baked goods, etc., since I started dieting. But sometimes I'll get cravings and I know if I don't treat myself I'll end up binging. I'll treat myself every few days or once a week to something I usually wouldn't eat.

Any pregnant ladies that drink protein shakes? Which ones?
I'm after a protein shake that I can use throughout my pregnancy. The one I used before (Carnivore) has quite high levels of vitamin A added to it so I'm keeping clear of it (much to my husband's pleasure!) I'm not a fan of Maximuscle because i feel like I'm paying for the name and the content isn't actually that good....…
