Always hungry!?!
Why does it seem like I'm always hungry? I may be taking in too many carbs that are just burning out and leaving me empty, but I feel like I constantly want to eat. Is there any kind of fix to this. I knew that more protein, vegetables, and fiber in general keep you fuller for longer but I just want to eat. :( Any help?

REintroduce yourself!
Well, I wouldn't call this introducting myself as I would call it REintroducing myself. I joined MFP last year when I lived in Houston and loved it. But, I got a new job, got busy, and kind of dropped off the MFP face of the world. In February I started training for a marathon, ran the San Diego Marathon in June with Team…

What to do?
So, I started to think I need to be more health conscience. I have come to the conclusion that I eat when I'm stressed or upset. This is not something I do consciously. For example, say I have to have a meeting with my boss and some bad news comes up about me, I revert to the nearest can of coke, bag of crisps, doughnut…

Calorie Question
I know that 3500 calories equals a pound, but I was just wondering is every calorie the same? No right, I mean eating an extra piece of fruit (which I've been doing the last few days) has got to be better then eating "junk food" right? Just wondering. . .

What is your favorite "bad" food?
And have you found a substitute? Mine is a Starbucks Cranberry Orange scone. 460 calories, 15 grams fat, 33 grams sugar and 76 carbs. I love them but if I learned anything from MFP it was that I had to give up the scones or restrict them to once a week -- tops. Haven't found a substitute. What is your weakness?
