    "Are you tracking everything"

    Except it turns out a lot of the time they usually aren't. So you may hate it, but it tends to get to the bottom of things real fast.

    truth or facts don't mean they can't be annoying...

    Yeah I agree about b12, being vegan myself; i take supplements for that, but you can literally get whatever else you need from plants… sometimes I eat too MUCH protein, and it's not always from soy!

    What is the one thing that people say on MFP that irritates you the most? For me it's when people say Vegans don't get enough protein!
    Agreed but that goes FAR beyond MFP.

    I have never, once, in my life, heard of a vegan eating too much protein.

    I guess then you just did...LOL

    I dislike it when people are craving something, and ask for a healthy replacement and posters say, just eat what you are craving. Isn't that what got us here in the first place?

    "Absolutely, positively, no matter what else you do...don't weigh yourself everyday."

    So WHAT if somebody does?

    I've never heard of a vegan getting too much protein from NATURAL sources only when they start taking a crap ton of protein supplements.

    "This thread should be required reading..." (link to sexypants post)

    "You don't weigh enough to aim for x lbs/week..."

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants :flowerforyou:

    If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal

    But why?! Oh, right. http://evidencemag.com/fat-loss-deficit/

    MFP lets anyone select up to 2 lbs/week. Because it's not dangerous.

    There's a big difference between selecting a conservative deficit for yourself based on outside info and telling others their choice is dangerous and misinformed.

    Same goes for macro levels. "You can't meet your protein and fat minimums at that level..." The poster is assuming everyone shares their macro goals.

    I hate when people purposely start troll threads. Really, don't have anything else productive to do?
    When people ask for "advice" (read:validation) on an unsustainable diet then call everyone mean and haters for giving them sensible advice.
    Yep. If they think people disagreeing with them = bullying, they seriously need a new dictionary.
    "it's as simple as calories in/calories out"
    I wish, Nothing in life is simple.

    well sometimes, a severe craving really can't find a good "healthy" replacement. :)

    I find more annoying that someone has to correct this statement every time, whether relevant or not...
