Dumb question.........
Ok, yesterday I went 250 over my calorie limit....I tried to get my butt up to go to the gym to work it off, but could't manage it. Feeling guilty, I went to the gym this morning and worked my butt off. I burned enough calories for the next 3 days!!! So, my question is--Would it have made a difference if I would have went…

Carrabba's Calories
I usually try to have one night each week where I basically eat something that is out of my diet choice of foods. I went to Carrabba's Italian Grill tonight and had the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad which was delightful, but I cannot find the calories for really anything from Carrabba's. I know it's going to be a lot of…

Does it matter how many carbs you eat at one meal. Like say is over 50 carbs at one meal to much? Ive read that you need a certain amount of carbs for energy, but the excess is stored...Does that mean excess for one meal, or for the whole day? If you shouldnt go over a certain number of carbs at one meal, how much is to…

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?

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…

It seems that everyday I tend to go over on my sugar intake. Its so easy to go over. What the heck am I supposed to eat??:grumble: And I never go over on my calorie intake.
