Food addiction

This was many years ago but just recently I have thought about this and what effect my addiction has had on other people like my mother and other…

Russell Stover Chocolate?
I bought some Sugar Free Russell Stover Chocolate today to defeat my chocolate cravings. I got home and my sister was like... "you know those are like a laxative, right?" Are they? I have never heard this. I don't have the packaging anymore because I dumped it in a bowl on the counter. What do you know about this? I had…

I've been on a cut for about 1.5 months, and noticed a plateau in my weight workouts and my fat loss (my 5k run is the same). I figured it's time to go on a maintenance plan, but I've gotten so used to my small portions that I just don't have the sense of what a regular portion is, anymore! What do you think I should do?…

Morning all I am new to MFP, and new to the idea of even thinking about macro balance. I am enjoying working to it and can get to my percentage targets within one or 2%.

Lifesource Foods Oat Fiber (sourced: usa) Organic Oat Fiber , 227 g (Pack of 1) Brand: Ecoideas(sourced: Canada) I'm curious about the differences. Different labeling rules for each country?

Good fat? Bad fat?
Hi all, hoping someone can clear up some confusion :) I read a My Fitness Pal blog post this week that said to avoid saturated fat, but monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats in the right quantities are good for the body. However, the targets in my own My Fitness Pal account don't seem to reflect this. Saturated fats seem…

A juicy opinion 🥕
I’m not against juicing but I’m just letting u know that although juicing does have a lot of vitamins it’s not the most nutritious thing. Even though these vitamins are super beneficial to the body it is not as nutritious as eating the food in its natural form. This is because it separates the fibers from the food leaving…

What’s a good high protein low carb cereal option?
I know, cereal with milk is not a protein meal, it’s a carb meal. I don’t often have cereal for breakfast because the milk and cereal is always so carb heavy. I usually go for multigrain cheerios and 1% milk but I can’t help but feel like there is something better out there.

Macro Beginner
I cannot get my macros to meet my percentage goals. I’m following the Intro to Tracking Macros plan. I set my goals at 40% carb 30% protein 30% fat. I can’t seem to create a meal where the protein is equal or higher than the fat. The fat is always higher. What can I do besides eating salmon at every meal?!
