    What should my calorie goal be? Should I have days with a lower target so my body doesn't get used to it and stop losing weight?

    Is it best to exercise fasting or is it okay to have a little fat and carb before exercise? ie: peanut butter and 1/2 piece of sourdough toast.

    Looking to increase my good chloresterol HDL. My bad chloresterol numbers are within normal range, however, my HDL is lower. Are there any good food choices to help increase this? Any recommendations to strive for would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm a 69 yr old female athletic who swims, bikes, runs, & lifts. I'm having trouble figuring out what my macro nutrients should be. I've done the calculations, but every site has a difference of opinions. Keeping my Carbs on the low side seem to help with keeping my weight down & feeling better (not bloated anymore) but I need carbs to keep my training up. Your thoughts?

    Would a Heart Healthy Breakfast properly balance Protein, Fat, and Carbs by combining 200 gram Fage Fat Free Greek Yogurt, 10 grams Bobs Red Mill Whole Rolled Oats, 20 grams Walnuts, 20 grams Raspberries, and 20 grams Blueberries? Is this a Heart Healthy Breakfast? Thanks for the feedback!

    I am 42 years old and have always trouble getting the viceral fat out. What foods you recommend to burn or help in that region? In addition, do you think that BURN pills are effective? I see that almost in every site about losing weight. I live a healthy lifestyle and eat pretty healthy but everything seems to go to that region area

    Is it OK for an otherwise healthy, overweight adult to do an extended fast (water and electrolytes only)?

    [Otherwise healthy: BMI 25-30, not taking any medications, not pregnant or breastfeeding]

    I am a 51 yr old female and I’m wondering how many grams of protein should I be eating per day? About 7-8 yrs ago I was told 45-65 g/day as I was seeing an RD for wt loss. Is this too little protein and do the plant proteins count as much as the animal proteins? Thank you!

    A few hours post-workout I crash meaning I get extremely tired to the point that I have to quit working and lay down. This happened last week even after just a brisk 30 min walk! Any suggestions?

    Hello, I am vegan, and have some health issues with gluten, which I cannot have - I do take supplements but my diet is limited so I bake and started using (I also don't eat sugar) cocoa to make things palatable, well, now there are vegan bean cereals with unsweetened cocoa and chocolate with monkfruit, etc so I have started eating a lot, not changing my caloric input except maybe by 100 calories (I use MFP daily) - I am wondering how much cocoa a day is counter health-wise in consumption? I am guessing I have probably 1/2 to 1 cup of cocoa a day. Thank you.

    Hello! What suggestions do you have for helping to ease symptoms of Fibromyalgia via diet? I've tried researching it online, but I've seen a lot of contradictory information.

    (I'm already a vegetarian which is one suggestion I've seen a lot, and I have tried several medications and had super bad side effects so I'm trying to control via diet and exercise.)

    I’m looking for suggestions/tips for someone who gained a significant amount of weight after being put on medication for ulcerative colitis management. They work out 3-5 days a week and they make 80% of their meals at home, but are struggling to lose weight.
