More carbs...sleeping too much...
I am on a high protein/low carb diet. For the last week, I have been exhausted. Has anybody had experiences of being very low energy while on this type of diet? Yesterday, I slept 16 hours straight :yawn: I also have sleep apnea, but that has been under control and nothing has changed in that area. Or I might be coming…

Protein: I want the TRUTH!!!
Does anyone know the truth about protein? I have read sooo many different conflicting things. A friend of mine recently had lap band surgery and started seeing a nutritionist. She emphasized she should try to get at least 65g of protein per day to accelerate the turning of fat into lean muscle. Now on the other hand,I am…

So hard to have a perfect balance...
This is what my caloric intake looks like today...I was still under my calorie allowance but I went over on everything except the fat. Do you guys pay close attention to this? How do you create a good balance where at least you don't go over so much. I am not too concerned about the fiber because MFP is very low on that. I…

Fat Belly diet ???
I was just browsing on prevention.com and watched a short video of "The Fat Belly Diet." I have never heard of this before and found it somewhat interesting. I am ALWAYS leary of so called diet fads and don't believe much of what they say, at all. But this seemed interesting (not sure I'd ever do it...quite happy doing…

Calorie-Cutting Tactics
By: Reader's Digest Eliminating those calories (as well as burning more through exercise) doesn't have to be painful. Starvation and deprivation diets simply don't work.

if your not really hungry, but should eat?
OK, so I haven't been really hungry today, and have had a couple days like that. (not in a row) Is it really OK to supliment say 2 meals with some kind of a nutrition bar? It saves a lot of calories, but is it healthy to do that? Specially when the nutrition bars are only 150 or less in calories? And I ran for an hour this…

Coffee tricks?
Okay, so we're all trying to cut calories...My worst culprit seems to be in my morning coffee. And there's NO WAY I'm ridding myself of it altogether. So, I love flavor like hazelnut or cinnamon and a liitle(just a little sweet; sugar). Lately I've been using a certain -mate- hazelnut creamer, but it has 40 calories in 2…

Slim Fast Optima...
Four hour hunger control my *kitten*!! More like ONE hr. Please!!! yes, I do know better, but it was easy and convenient. I cannot believe they claim four hour hunger- I would have been better and longer satisfied by eating a handful of M&M's. Ok, rant over.

all calories created equal?
I have been doing well with not going over my cals. Before I started MFP I was careful about what I ate. Which I always felt restricted and ended up binging on the wrong things anyway. But since starting MFP I feel more freedom about what I eat, I can have some sugar and treats, I just have to stay in my cals. But I am…

Oh Bob's sweet mints
Bob betrayed me today- I snacked on a few of those wonderfully sweet, soft, and innocent mints. Then I had a few more of those scrumptious treats - love the way they dissolve in my mouth - so satisfying, so yummy. I know they don't come without calories but, I've never looked it up.. just had a couple occasionally so -…

D'Angelos chicken caesar wrap
I had about 1200 calories left at dinnertime tonight, so I thought Id go out for a chicken caesar wrap. I figured it to be about 400 to 500 calories. Holy Moly, over 800!! 47 grams of fat... 2234 mg of sodium. I, literally, would have been better off eating a big mac at 540 calories and 30-something grams of fat. Of course…
