Ever since I started dieting using mfp I have been getting headaches daily. Does anyone know what could be causing this??

    I got headaches at first because I was adjusting to my new lower calorie intake but they went away within a week. Are you hitting your calorie goal? Drinking enough water?

    Maybe too much computer monitor??

    What aspect of MFP do you suspect is contributing? The calorie restriction? Exercise?

    When I don't eat enough carbs I get headaches. Also, did you stop using something completely, like caffeine? Could be withdrawal.

    I've been getting headaches since I started as well! I carry around a giant bottle of Ibuprofen now, but I'm pretty sure it's because my body isn't yet used to eating less.

    Make sure you are getting the amount of calories you are suppose to have.

    Protein is important.

    Also have you changed anything you are eating, I can't eat peanut butter... gives me migraines.

    You should open up your diary.

    Make sure you are drinking your water.

    If it continues call your doctor!
