Closed Groups??
Hi, Trying to get more engaged and get more out of MFP, and as I'm scanning the group posts/discussions, it seems that all or almost all are closed? Also, there seem to be many 'old' posts and very few new ones. Am I looking in the right places? I'm looking for conversations/knowledge and experience from those using MFP as…

Hail and well met. I'm Honour, a disabled Veteran trying to get rid of a classic spare tire, while controlling my gout. I don't like to say "losing weight"; Americans hate losing! I like the British term, "slimming". It sounds so much more positive.

Federal guidelines recommend 0.36 grams of protein per lb, NOT 0.8 grams
Hi all, I keep seeing people on this site say that guidelines recommend 0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight. This is incorrect, and may be the result of people confusing pounds with kilograms. A recent NYTimes story cites to a new paper that updates this recommendation slightly, saying that 0.85 to 0.96 g/kg body weight/d…

Adding protein to oats
Hi all. I eat oatmeal most days for the heart health benefits but I'm aiming for 20 grams of protein per meal and a serving of oats only contains 6 grams of protein. Adding nuts is my go-to but an ounce of almonds only adds 6 grams, which gets me to 12. A quarter cup of soy milk give me a few more, bringing the grand total…

Whey Protein experiences with "Sustained Release"?
Just ordered this on sale and on spec, running low on usual whey concentrates. It has a lower than usual percentage per scoop, so not so "premium" in my book, but is formulated with a variety of dairy and egg proteins for slow release. Curious if others have tried anything similar. (My interest is maintaining muscle mass…
