I have recently started my fitness journey, and the trajectory is towards fat loss. Any tips?
I've been on this weight loss journey for a while now, but man, keeping it consistent is a struggle. Some weeks I'm on top of it—eating clean, working out, feeling good. Then, boom!

Can someone help with a high protein Vegetarian diet?
As a male Indian who is vegetarian there are many restrictions to my diet that I believe do not let me achieve my goals and hit the desired amount of daily protein. I can’t eat eggs and I don’t wish to consume much of soya due to the ambiguity around it affecting the oestrogen levels in males. In India I don’t see many…

I'm finding it really hard to reach my protein goal. I calculated that according to my weight I need 100g of protein a day but find it impossible to get beyond the 50s no matter how many eggs I eat!

August is my one of my favorite months. It's when Iowa "sugar & cream" corn-on-the-cob is everywhere, fresh from the fields, ready to boil for exactly 8 minutes, gingerly add a little butter and salt for the best meal of the year! According to FP, two ears plus 1 tbs of butter = 218 calories. That fits into my daily target…
