I Keep Coming Back to My Fitness Pal
Just finished a Noom program which was very good for the psychology of eating. Now I am ready to return to My Fitness Pal due to the accountability and nutrition tracking. Premium is the way to go. If you put your money where your priorities are, it can motivate a person. Went from 279 to 216 from October 1, 2022. Hope to…
Newbie here!
What up I’m Kat. I wanted to use this platform to bring better habits in my life. Holding myself accountable and wanting to give my body what it needs.
Meal kits and weight loss?
Has anybody been using meal delivery kits in their weight loss journey? I’ve been using EveryPlate, personally. It’s nice to just be able to plug it into the app and know what I’m eating each week? Plus it’s relatively cheap compared to buying things I won’t end up using anyway
When You Want to Eat Healthy, Then Don't.
I need a new approach to nutrition. I've been ultra lazy and really eating too many calories of garbage. I want to eat healthy, and then I don't. I know I can eat healthy, I'm just doomed with inconsistency. Maybe I can hold my self more accountable for my daily nutrition posting here.
Should I be losing weight or building muscle?
Hi I’m 22(f) and I just started using MyFitness Pal more seriously. I’m 5’1 and at ~120lbs. I recently gained about 10lbs over the past 2 months. The only thing that I can think caused this was quitting smoking. I haven’t done anything else different. I was even working out 3-4 times a week (spin classes) while I gained. I…

Nutrition advice needed for Marathon Training
I have signed up for a marathon that takes place in November 2023. This will be my second marathon. My first was in April of this year. I did it in 4 hours and 17 minutes. I had no idea what to expect and ran it simply for the experience with no time expectations. I absolutely enjoyed it and immediately signed up for the…

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…
Goal Setting
Hello, I'd like to set my goals to a specific protein, fat, carb independent of the calories. When I change the macros, the calories change as well. How can I bypass this to get what I need. I am a premium member. Thanks.
healthy grocery lists?
I need to go grocery shopping soon because the majority of the food in my home has been carbs, meat, and sugar up to this point. More light, vegetable-based cuisine and wholesome snacks are what I'm after. Does anyone use a shopping list that is heavier on vegetables? I want to buy asparagus, mixed vegetables, squash, and…

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…
The Protein struggle is real
I struggle, struggle, struggle to eat enough protein because it makes me feel so full I don't have room for other nutritional items I also need. I also find it kind of monotonous trying to get enough protein. I am 120 lbs moderately active but than I do intense exercise from time to time as I have time. I really hate…
Is Ketone IQ legit?
Hello, Has anyone tried Ketone IQ? I'm checking it out. I asked them for their nutritional information and they gave me this: No carbs, no fat, no protein... just 10g of ketones per 35ml. The fine print also says it contains 2% other ingredients. I don't recognize any of these. It is said to give you energy. Does this make…
The last few kgs are the hardest to shed?
Hi, I’m 38 female 170cm height . For the last 3 month or so I’ve been following a healthy lifestyle (dieting, working out, plus the occasional treats), and I managed to lose around 3kgs. I’ve noticed that the closer I get to my ideal weight (68kg) the more difficult it is to lose the last few kgs of fat. My muscle mass has…

What do you eat/drink while cooking dinner?
What do you eat while you cook dinner or do you manage not to snack/pick the entire time you're in the kitchen? Painting the picture: between 5-530pm when my workday is over, my spouse is picking up kids, and I have 30 minutes of silence to unwind and cook dinner has become a daily pain point. I have a mid-afternoon snack…
