Is your self image warped?
I know mine is. :/ I was mindlessly browsing internet stuff this a.m. and clicked on pictures of celebrities in bikinis. Don't ask me why. :) But looking at them all, I realized that's not the important thing, how great you look in bikinis. Because truth be told, many(if not most) look like regular people. Sure you got…

Can I eat the calories I burn?
So my recommended amount is 1200 calories however today I burned 600 calories from ballet and walking I entered this and my calorie intake went up to 1800. Does this mean I should eat 1800?

Multiple conditions, need macros
I’m a 67 year old Type 2 diabetic. In the past, I’ve followed a fairly strict keto diet to manage my blood sugar. But in November of 2020, I came down with COVID, and it left me with both pulmonary arterial hypertension and atrial fibrillation. Good times.

I'm struggling to get the recommended amount of protein while still staying at my calorie limit.
I'm vegetarian / mostly vegan and according to MFP, you need to calculate your current weight by .72 to determine how many protein grams you need. In my case, it's 179 grams a day. Even if I were an omnivore and ate nothing but meat, I don't think I could consume that much protein every day and still stay at or under 1500…
