How do I make a common meal into a ONE CLICK item?
I meal prep two meals every Sunday. So lets say #1 is 1 cup pasta, alfredot, 3 meatballs, and 1 cup brocoli. Rather than adding each of those items every day when I eat it can I make a meal/lunch that is all of that in one button I can press each day?

Achilles Tendonitis advice
I walk about 15-20 miles a week and my right Achilles tendon has been bothering me for several months. The doc gave me anti inflammatory and recommended heel inserts. That didn't really help.

How I stopped kidding myself
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience with the food scale - my best friend and worst enemy. I’ve lost 43 lbs so far and for the first 25-30, I used measuring cups and “eyeballing”, and it worked fine - until it didn’t. The scale refused to budge for almost a month and I had no idea that I had been sabotaging…

Genuine question about normal bodies
I don’t understand because when I wake up and I’m standing in front of the mirror I feel so lean and strong and I can see my abs. But when I sit down I see ab rolls, a belly pooch and my thighs look huge. If I wave, then my arms flap and it looks so unsightly even though I strength train. My stomach is bigger towards the…

Help with TDEE and weight loss
