Protein stomach ache?????
Ok, for a while I have noticed that if I eat eggs for breakfast I end up with horrible stomach cramps around lunchtime so I tend to steer clear of eggs. Later on in the day I'm fine with them. Yesterday, on the run, I grabbed some cooked chicken and ended up eating that first thing - and had awful stomach ache yesterday…

Sugar
How much sugar does is ok for a non-diabetic who, except for the gym 3 days a week, lives a mostly sedentary lifestyle? MFP has me set at 41 grams, which is next to nothing. So far today, I've consumed a whopping 360 calories which was breakfast, an apple, a banana and a cup of Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt, and I'm already…

Pills Pills Everywhere aka Miracle weight loss
Who is taking any "diet pills, or metabolism booster or appetite suppressors" State whether it worked for you, is it worth the money, any bad side effects. Not judging just looking to see if there are any trends in what people like to try, just saw a post for a "cleanse" so it got me thinking, are all these "unnatural"…

how did our ancestors get enough sodium?
The other long thread attempting to discuss what our ancestors ate, and regardless of what it was, I was just thinking of how low in Na it must have been, while being relatively high in potassium. Reguardless of whether it was high or mostly vegetables or high/mostly meat this would have been true. So how did they get…

Rise bars?
Hi. Have any of you tried Rise bars? What'd you think of them? Taste good, etc? The Clymb currently has them on special ($12.98, down from $22). The ingredients (listed below along with other details) look decent. Apricot Goji looks delicious. I'm debating buying a box but I've never tried them and don't want to waste…

Just not eating enough!
I'm really struggling to eat enough calories. I've been a little bit ill recently which may be contributing but I'm just not hungry at all. Ever. I eat out of necessity and I've completely forgotten how to enjoy my food and/or eat enough! Every night at about ten/eleven I realise I've only eaten one meal so have to stuff…

Does anyone else just not like snacking?
One of the things I've learned about myself lately is that I really don't like snacking & it doesn't help me with weight loss at all. For me, when I'm hungry, and I eat something, I want to feel satisfied. I want to feel full (but not that uncomfortable, I just ate a big mac and fries & can't walk type of full). Pleasantly…

VEGANS - What do you feed your pets?
I'm still trying to understand the vegan lifestyle. You have your reasons for not eating meat, I know. But would you deprive a dog of meat as well? Do you spend extra on dog/cat food? My friend's snake was fed dead mice, and his reptile got live crickets, for ex. This question is more targeted towards those who are vegan…

Paleo/Whole 30 and My Fitness Pal
For those of you who do Paleo/Whole 30 and use my fitness pal, what is the best way to use it? I noticed it has given me calorie and carb recommendations that don't really go along with Whole 30/Paleo. What would be better guidelines, and is there a way to change the recommendations?

Pho Noodles
So I am in love with Vietnamese Pho Tai. I go to a little hole in the wall place that serves it with a few rice noodles and the broth...everything else is optional at the table. I leave it at that, just the broth, beef, and rice noodles. It's a bowl that holds probably 4 cups of broth. NO idea nutritional information on…

Coke Zero Vs. Diet Coke
I've gotten bored of drinking only water, so I've had a couple of diet cokes this weekend. Kind of gross, but I guess it's good for variety. I tried a coke zero to see how it compared to diet coke. I think the the coke zero is slightly better than diet coke, but it still tastes like diet soda. Anyone else have an opinion…

Protein Overload
I've been logging for a few weeks and have only really been looking at calories. Lately, I've noticed that I keep going over in protein. How bad is that in the long run? I'm having a tough time thinking of things to eat that have less protein...I feel like I don't really eat that much...cereal and milk in the morning,…
