    I'm 20 turning 21 in September. With the freedom of drinking to come and entering culinary school I'm worried about becoming out of shape.

    If anyone wants any help with cooking healthfully I know a little about making healthful meals that actually taste good. College is a make or break time for developing good habits that stick with you, so I'll be looking to you guys for inspiration!

    Hi :) I'm 20, fairly new, and looking to lose around 20 pounds also. Since I'm only 5'1, every pound seems to count! At first, I wasn't very good with coming up with healthy meals, but I found a lot of cool recipes on allrecipes.com and you can just type in for example: lunches under 300 calories or whatever you're looking, include how many servings/portions you want to cook, and the website will give you the correct measurements for all of the ingredients. Feel free to add me if you want.

    I'm far from 20 but I learned to cook long before 20. Here's my best hint about cooking: just do it! Try. Throw it away if it's bad. Don't be so afraid to cook you never try. I'd watch a few episodes of Food Network like Barefoot Contessa (I've got all her cookbooks!) also Paula Dean's unhealthy recipes on her shows can show you some basic cooking techniques. But in the end you can't learn if you don't try so just do it! Look for simple recipes that only require 1 pot and 4-5 ingredients not including seasonings. Don't do super complex things starting out.

    Good luck. Learning to cook may just help you snag that next special someone.

    Hey! 25 here! Also not the best cook, I'm not bad just don't like the time and cleaning that goes with it! lol The microwave is my best friend, which I'm sure is not the best thing, so I'm trying to learn to cook more too.... I search online for lots of recipes, I've found that pinterest is really helpful, hungry-girl.com, skinnytaste.com, etc... Be careful with pinterest, there's lots of unhealthy things on there to tempt you, and then there's lots on there that claim to be "healthy". But you can do this... Good luck!!! Feel free to add me =)

    Hi! I'm 23 and new here too. I love to cook but unfortunately everything I used to cook wasn't exactly healthy- pasta's, curries etc and it has gotten me into big trouble! So now that I decided to lose some weight I have been using MFP to count everything I eat: I had no idea how many calories and how bad the food I ate really was. My main goal at the moment is to keep everything simple and healthy. So basically grilled chicken with spices like Moroccan seasoning, loads of vegies, salads, beans, tuna and eggs. Have a look for the 'steam' bags of frozen vegies at your supermarket (individually bagged veggies you just put in your microwave for a few minutes) . I LOVE them because I don't have to bother getting my pot or steamer out. Once I get more into eating healthy I will try some more 'advance' recipes or find healthy alternatives to my old recipes. So, maybe try and keep it simple for now and feel free to add me, maybe we can swap some tips! :)
