Starting over and need an accountability partner - women only please
I've been struggling with restarting so many times that I don't even know why. I finally gave myself permission to throw all caution to the wind through the end of May, and now that it's time to hunker down and reclaim some willpower, I would love to meet other women who might be in the same spot. I ate so much stuff that…
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.
Vegan low calorie high protein foods
I am finding it hard to consume enough protein without blowing calories and fat content. (It’s incredible how much fat there is in food like a homemade vinaigrette, an avocado, nut butter, etc). I would love to know your favourite low calorie, high protein foods and recipes!
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.

Macros baffle me, and I cannot hit the mark! I usually manage not to exceed my 1200cal daily food goal. (It is a challenge, but I am pretty diligent). I enter all my food into MFP.

Strength Training on Vegetarian Diet
I have been strength training for years. YEARS. Eight years to be exact. My max weights have plateaued for years. YEARS. About six years to be exact. While I continue to keep lifting through injuries and medical issues, I would really like to see my one rep max numbers go up. I highly suspect the problem is my diet. For a…

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?

Give alternatives for food allergies with substitutions
I am super allergic to tree nuts and avocados which unfortunately appear in many recipes. Please create a way to show what could be substituted for the same amount of protein in nuts and fat in avocado to adjust into the recipes you have available so the flavor and consistency isn't changed. Then allow the substitutions in…
