Dinner for Breakfast
I had been trying to eat a healthy low calorie breakfast like oatmeal and fruit but I found that my sugar was dropping and I would overeat all day just to feel better. Now I eat about 400 calories at breakfast and it's dinner. I eat a normal lunch and usually breakfast foods for dinner. I am fairly new to this but I think…

an answer as to why drink water....
Saw this and it makes sense! Thought I would share...that's a lot of burned calories in a year...almost 6 lbs worth! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Proper hydration not only prevents you from feeling hungry (many people mistake thirst for hunger), it also can help you lose weight. In a study reported in the Journal of…

Breakfast Drink??
So sometimes on the weekends, I want more than just my yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, etc. So I'll do scrambled eggs & toast (still low cal, high protein, good stuff). But I want a huge glass of orange juice .... or a massive glass of milk. And that's just a ton of calories. Which I won't always be able to work off (for whatever…

Cancer = chemo and strange eating habits

'Nother Newbie Question About When (How Often) To Eat
I've read so much about eating every few hours to keep the metabolism in gear and blood sugar levels stable. Many of you here have done a lot of research ... how accurate is it? I am a big night time eater. I will eat during the day, just not huge calories or meals. Small protein carb, nutrient dense food. However, at…

Does Flavored Water Count as "Water"?
This sounds like a stupid question, but I have to ask anyway. If I add crystal light to my water, does that still count as "water intake"? What about soup broths? Juices? Curious how all of you count your water consumption. Exclusively water... or vitamin waters, etc... too?? Thanks! Carrie

My boyfriend just had one of his teeth pulled at the dentist. The dentist gave him a brochure on care after the procedure.

BMR says 1263 calories a day, MFP says eat 1200 how will I
I see this is a big topic on these boards and I've read as much as I can, but it still makes no sense to me. I checked the BMR tool and compared it to what MFP says I should be eating. It didn't take out many calories at all! Shouldn't I be eating a minimum 200 calories less than my BMR in order to loose weight, rather…
