Alpha-gal syndrome
I’m just curious if anyone else out there is having trouble managing enough protein with Alpha-gal. I also unfortunately have a fish intolerance as well as oral pollen allergy that prevents me from have fresh/raw fruits, vegetables and nuts.

Problem is, I was going to the gym in the morning around 9AM, and I find that I am light-headed doing the workouts I was doing…
Increasing calories as you exercise more?
My doctor started me on a 1,200 calorie/day diet as I was very sedentary due to a severe back issue. My back is getting better and I have begun to do some moderate waliking 3-5 times a week. How do I know how many extra calories to add? Also, how much protein should I be striving for?

Does anyone else experience mental struggles in intermittent fasting or ADF
Intermittent fasting is seemingly as simple as a diet plan can get: Eat. Stop eating. Eat again. So, why all the mental struggle around eating or not eating within a short window? For me, there are two distinct struggles. 1) Calming myself that I'm not causing any damage from loss of nutrients during the fast. 2) Calming…

I average about 700-800 calories a day, while I should be getting 1200. I have added sugar free peanut butter to my morning protein smoothie, but am still coming up short. For lunch I eat chicken breast or fish with lots of veggies. Dinner is a struggle, as I'm just not hungry at night. Advice?
Self-sabotage accountability
I probably weigh my self 4/5 times a day, but if I didn’t a part of accountability would not be their. Yes our weight depends on the time day also if we eaten and if we been for a 1/2 ect.
