You need to change 'Basal Metabolic Rate' to one of the other options in the drop down to get your TDEE, or it just gives your BMR for both.

Where do you get your swim caps? I have a tiny head, but still struggle to get regular latex/rubber ones over my head and it feels like my hair is being torn out when I go to take them off.

For me, it's the cost. It just works out so much cheaper for me to go to the gym; it works out cheaper per-day membership wise, and I don't have to hop on a bus for an hour there and back (which makes it cost even more). They've shut so many pools here (London and the north-east of England) in the last 10 years, it's no…

So happy many others have said it. There is no such thing as being 'friendzoned'. Everyone is different when it comes to finding relationships. Some people find it easy to ask others out, others struggle. Some go through partners only weekly basis, others are in much longer relationships. Just be yourself and act natural.…

The personal trainer at my gym recommended running, crosstrainer/elliptical, squats, bridge exercises and lunges to me. I have weak inner-thigh and glute muscles, and he said that'd help strengthen and tone them.

As everyone says, it's just a matter of deficit and exercise (which helps with toning). And a big dose of 'fingers-crossed' that you're one of those people who lose weight from your thighs fast. I personally find it the hardest place to slim down; I lose inches everywhere else but mere millimetres from my legs. :cry:

Too much fiber can be a problem if your body isn't used to it (an issue my brother had), but it's unlikely. Personally, I find a strong coffee and banana or probiotic yoghurt help me - my grandmother swears by apples and hot lemon juice (I find it just makes me feel hungry). But, if you're not feeling discomfort or aren't…

I need to weigh peanut butter and get it right... it's the one thing I don't want to weight. I'm still stubbornly remaining ignorant that 1 heaped tbsp is 30g (and approx ~200 calories). I can eyeball some things correctly (I'm usually only 2-3 grams out with meat, oats and rice) but I was shocked at how little cereal 30g…

Ultimately, yes. No one can take away my chocolate and yoghurt. Still, I try to eat as cleanly as possible. I switched carbs at lunch for salads, try to eat wholemeal instead of white, and stick to sugar-free drinks (and never add sugar to cereal, porridge or tea/coffee). I also don't eat pasta, potatoes or cheese, but…

Some people lose weight easily, some people struggle; gender hasn't got much to do with it. Women naturally have a higher body-fat percentage (so getting lean may be more difficult as we're battling against nature) and we retain water more easily, but I don't think there's a huge male-female difference. It think it mostly…

Potatoes. And them mum grew a gazillion and we had potato for every meal for months... I can't stand them now (unless they're in beef massaman or a good Cornish pasty).

Hi all! Happy Saturday! :smile: Feel free to add me~ I'm 23, and looking for friends and motivation.

I was really frustrated last year (2-3 months of no loss!), quit over Christmas then returned in January with a few changes. I don't stick solidly to MFPs recommended intake any more. MFP has me down for 1200 cal, but I now stick between my BMR and TDEE (1300 and 1600 for me, roughly). I gave a try after seeing someone on…

Greek yoghurt~ measure out 100g, then just add 1tsp of sweetener to make it more dessert-like. Throw in some unsweetened cocoa powder for chocolate pudding, or use honey instead of sweetener for a different taste.

I like taking salads for lunch. I just start with a leafy base and add a handful of chopped cucumber and plum tomatoes. Then, I just bulk it out with one or two other things; grilled turkey, chickpeas, vegetable koftas and pakoras, grated carrot, grilled steak, tinned or fresh fish (usually tuna, salmon or mackeral), 1/4…

I've never heard anything bad about it, nor had any problems with it... then again, I only use it 1 to 3 times a day. Sometimes I have it in coffee, but usually just on cereal to reduce a few calories from the milk, or I'll have a glass of it if I want to drink milk (I can have regular milk in coffee, but more than 250ml…

You can never go wrong with carrot sticks, apple slices or cucumber sticks for a snack - dip them in hummus or peanut butter. Half a grape fruit, and 1/4 cup of porridge (dry weight, before you cook it) is one of my go to breakfasts, and usually keeps me full for 3-4 hours. Cereal bars and other cereals can be good, but…

They're a litte expensive if you don't buy them in bulk somewhere like Costco, but Liberte's blueberry yoghurts are amazing. 87cals a pot and really filling. Any fat-free greek yoghurt is good, though; when I can't get to costco I just buy the supermarket brand. Make it sweet by adding 1/2 to 1tsp of sweetener per 100g.…

These all sound amazing, thank you! I think I better get back into roasting veggies... Anyone any tips for roasting peppers? I've never been brave enough to try it myself
