Asian Recipes That Fit Macros - Survey
When I was weight lifting regularly, I found myself hating most of the recipes that were recommended on weight lifting forums. I love cooking and could be described as a “foodie” so eating chicken and broccoli variations with little flavor was incredibly depressing. I ended up creating a huge spreadsheet of my favorite…
Hi, looking to lower weight down below 80kg within 2 weeks
Hi, I have some family and a set of nephews/nieces visiting in a couple of weeks and I want to look presentable. I’m a 34 years old male, 183 cm tall, weighing 86.8kg and most of the fat is stored around my belly. I have weak upper strength (I have never been able to do a single pull-up/chin-up before) and I am looking to…
Are there foods you avoid for weight loss/maintaining?
Hello everyone, I’ve been on this app for over a year now and just barely discovering the community section, so I thought what better introduction than posting a discussion. I’m happy to say that I’ve lost a whopping 65lbs within a year and kept it off; and I’ve completely changed my eating habits, however there are…
Bento Box/Food Containers for Packing Lunch
Hi Everyone, I'm looking to start doing better meal prep for myself each week and want advice on best bento boxes or food containers for healthy portion sizes. I've been using some dollar store containers, but most of them are awkwardly shaped and wear out quickly; it's time to invest in something a little sturdier. Does…
Ready to Eat Grocery Store Items
I am looking for 2-3 suggestions per meal/snack for ready to eat items from the store for back up options when I just don’t feel like doing more than a 5 minute prep for a meal. My goals: 1650-1850 calories per day. Backstory: I feel like I will get comments about this so I’m addressing it up front. I have ADHD, which…
Career change. Lifestyle change! UK based.

Choosing entries
Hi everyone! I’ve been tracking my nutrition with MFP for 3 weeks now … and have gained weight. Sigh. I’m trying to lose about 15 lbs that my body very quickly put on over a couple of months with no changes in usual diet and exercise. I’ve had blood work recently, my thyroid and pituitary had low values but the dr wasn’t…
MY MOTIVATIONAL PHRASES: EAT FROM THE EARTH, NOT FROM THE STORE
HOW TO STOP HATING YOUR DIET My own advice I need to follow If the food in the store is from the earth, of course you're fine. The trouble is PACKAGED food. The royals do not eat any packaged food, so I tell myself that I'm eating like a royal. Tell yourself it's simple and easy to stop eating bad food even though it feels…
Tips on Logging Restaurant Meals (when nutrition info is available)
Hey Y'all! I've been trying to be pretty mindful about logging just about everything I eat lately. I even go as far as weighing most of my food to ensure accuracy. Where I get most tripped up is logging for restaurant meals - especially those where the nutrition details are nowhere to be found. I try to find something…
Recipe Pet Peeve.
My apologies in advance. Mini rant: You know what is an awesome cooking tip? Only rating and praising an online recipe after you've made and/or tried the recipe. It drives me insane when scouring blogs, forums, websites, etc looking for a recipe, to read the reviews on a highly rated recipe, only to see comment after…

When we lose weight, where does it go?
I was curious, so I looked it up, watched a fascinating Ted Talk about the mathematics of weight loss and learned this: 84% of fat is exhaled as CO2 (carbon dioxide) 16% of fat is excreted as H20 (water) Not sure if it's accurate, but it was really interesting, and definitely over my head!

MFP and Apple health integration
Hi, When you enter your food diary in MFP and set the timestamp to a different time, it doesn’t pass this through to Apple health, seems to use the time when the entry was created rather than respect the time you entered. Is that correct or am I doing something wrong. Reason I ask is that I use lumen to sort out my…
Gluten Free, bc the IgE
TL;DR: What are your favorite GF meals that don’t necessarily rely on the processed replacement foods? I couldn’t think of a decent title, lol. As of my daughter’s doctor’s appointment yesterday, she is to go on a GF diet for the next 4-6 weeks. Given our budget, this means we’re all going GF. I’m already overwhelmed at…

Binge eating
Any tips or advice to avoid binge eating ? I do indulge in small treats that fit my calories most days, but there’s always that one day where I go nuts, realize what I did, and get upset with myself . It’s slowing my progress from losing 1lb a week to half a pound or to even no weight loss. It’s been a month of this…
FYI- Put a rotisserie in the air fryer
I bought a whole rotisserie chicken on Friday but didn’t get around to deboning it. I took it from the fridge and placed it in my air fryer at 350 for around 12 minutes and it tasted like I had just brought it home. The skin crisped up perfectly and was super moist.
What has been the most challenging aspect of your weight loss journey so far?
"For me, the most challenging aspect of my weight loss journey so far has been overcoming my own negative self-talk and insecurities. I've struggled with my weight for years, and in that time, I've developed a lot of negative self-talk and limiting beliefs about what I'm capable of achieving. At times, it feels like I'm my…
