Muscle Building - Anorexia Recovery
this is going to be long but I am currently recovering from anorexia. I am 20F, 177cm and 43kg. I'm eating about 1500-2000 calories a day, 90-100g of protein at minimum.

This time around... I cannot lose weight no matter how hard I try
50f, 5'11", 242 lbs. I've been using MFP off and on for a few years now but fell off the wagon after my mother died in 2018. Over the next four years, I devoted my life to caring for my father, and then my grandmother. Now that they have passed, I'm focusing on myself and my health. A couple of months ago, I started going…

Gaining Muscle & *LOSING* Fat?

Not looking to lose weight but want to tone my arms. Advice?
I’m 5’10 and 136 pounds. I’ve always had what I consider to be big arms (in proportion to the rest of my body). Are there any ways I can tone that area without actually losing weight overall?

Protein Powder vs Hydrolyzed Collagen
I'm working on losing ~100 lbs (~25lbs down so far!) and am working pretty hard tracking calories. I've been including some protein powder (mostly whey isolate) in my morning coffee/tea and in the occasional smoothie (and tracking it of course). In the past, I was of the opinion that adding protein powder was "just adding…

Googling pictures of body builders, or what muscles look like
I have no idea where to post this and this seemed like the most inoffensive place but every few weeks I find myself googling pictures of body builders to see what muscles look like.
