Confused and Scared
I went to the doctors 1 month ago and was told I am at my weight goal 170. Off of my diabetese meds and was never on BP meds thank God. HE told me that I can play with 165 to 175. 2 weeks ago when I went for a weigh in I was 164. NOt worried about that, but I was told because of the way I am exercising I need to eat more.…

hey vegetarians!
I've recently started a vegetarian diet. I'm pregnant so I'm still eating eggs and dairy, with limited fish about 1x a week. I was wondering what you favorite sources of protein are. I've started fixing tofu (but I could use some recipes) and I'm eating more beans and quinoa. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

Staying fit and maintaining progress during exams/ finals
I'm only a few weeks away from my exams. This is when things have gone wrong for me in the past. I'd get so tangled in studying, that it was the only thing that mattered, and my health didn't come second, it came last. The stress is huge: and chossing the right food, or exercising just didn't seem that important at all.…

Macros, Calories, Maintenance
I have been maintaining for a little over a year now. For the majority of that year I have relied on macros to maintain. 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I was holding steady (except around holidays) at 105-106. I'm 5'0" tall by the way so that is a healthy weight. Anyway, I stopped worrying about macros when I found out I…

What to do with all the food I'm not going to eat
I have quite a few items in the pantry that are not going to part of my diet anymore. Cereals with sugar for example. I guess they are going to a food bank nearby.

Body recomp?
Hi all, I've been reading into the forums for a bit now, but wanted to know if I'm on the right track. I currently weigh 127 lbs at 5'7", which puts me at a normal BMI.
