Help! I just can't stop eating!
I've started walking alot and the downside is that I get really hungry when I walk. Its especially bad at work. (I work at KFC) I have started walking 30 minutes to work and when I get there I am starved and cant seem to keep myself from munching on wedges and chicken strips all day. So I go way over my calories!

I find that I consistently exceed my goals in protein and fiber, but I'm extremely short of my goal in fat. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about. I know that number is probably an upper limit unlike the other two, but I also know that fat is necessary for a healthy diet. I'm wondering also if I…

Advice Re: Eating Exercise Calories
I'm having some trouble reconciling the oft-repeated advice "eat all your exercise calories" with healthy nutrition. I've read every advice page on this forum. Every day, I swim for 90 mins and I walk to work, so I exercise away about 1000 calories/day. If I ate all of those, I would be on a 2600 calorie/day diet. I'm 40…
