Protein and Fiber Intake
I go over on my fiber and protein "budget" everyday. You wouldn't think it's possible to get too much fiber and protein but if it wasn't then I wouldn't have big red negative number staring at me at the end of every day. So my questions are: Is too much fiber and protein hindering my weight loss?

Can anyone share how they turn their mental hunger off?
I find that even when I'm physically full or satisfied, I can't seem to turn off my mental desire to eat. It is maddening. It seems to be most difficult for me at night, and I struggle to ignore it and not act upon it. While I am aware the problem is clearly psychological, I don't know how to handle it. So this trigger…

Calories and ZigZagging
I work part time in a busy shop and I also work from home as a writer/student. I usually set my calorie BMR to 'sedentary' because I spend so much time in front of my laptop, but when I'm on my feet all day working in retail I feel like I need more calories to keep my energy levels up. Recently I've been changing my BMR to…

New York issue
So I spend a lot of time in New York City, and it is hard for me to track calories for eating out. I have cooked enough to know when something has a lot of fat in it, but I can really only estimate using large chain restaurants as a general standard. Anyone else have this problem?

How often do you weigh in?
Hey there everyone, I was just wondering how often everyone weighs in. I was weighing myself everyday, but realized that I was getting obsessive over what the scale would say, and how much is just normal fluctuation. So now, I'm thinking just once a week will be better. But, I'm curious, what does everyone else do?
