Quick 150 Calorie Breakfast
One of my favorites is a bowl of fruit and a lip-numbing, extra spicy virgin bloody mary. Bloody Iguana is my absolute fave mix and I've tried dozens of different bloodys. This one is super spicy right from the bottle, gluten-free and only 27 calories. Pour over crushed ice and dilute with water. Can life get better?…

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!

Difficulty achieving Macro Protein intake.
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. I try to combine this calorie focus with MFP macro goals... but, my protein always falls short (I usually only eat between 30-60g protein). My…

6 months until I’m 60…
And I want to be healthier! I’m vegan and struggle with portions, so my weight has been creeping up. Now it’s time to get serious and increase my movement and decrease my portions. I’m going to try meal prep for the week, and when we go out, I’ll remember that I’m there for the fun and convo, not the food. I’m excited for…

Hi! :)
Hi all, im not necessarily new to MFP, but I figured I’d come in to say hello because I’m back…once again, lol. I’ve been using this app on and off for a few years now, and I recently started again because I’ve been noticing I’ve been overeating, causing me not to feel so great. I’m not intending to lose weight so much…

Calorie deficit
I do 16:8 IF and eat Lunch and dinner and nothing in between. If I burn 600 calories according to my Apple Watch fitness ring and basal metabolism is 1300 calories, how many calories should I be eating daily to create a deficit and see 1-2 pounds weight loss weekly? Also, I am vegan so how much should my Carb:Fat:protein…

Plant Based Dilemma
I’m reading the book “How Not to Die” by Dr Michael Gregor. He promotes a plant-based diet. He provides a lot of research-based information to back up his argument. I do know that I really need to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in my diet but I’m considering the benefits of a plant-based diet. My dilemma is that…
