I love mixing my protein powder with some peanut butter. (Mix it with little of water) then putting it on a apple and another great recipe are katie Anne brownies (Google or youtube) so good!

I've been bulimic for almost 10 years and recovered for about 2. I'd highly recommend seeking a dietitian and going to therapy. They'd be more knowledgeable on how to help or at least make the path a bit easier.

MTS, quest and pes are my preferred. For cheaper ones I'd go with cellucor or optimum nutrition though it's definitely a tie between mts and pes (select protein) they taste good and mix well.

Well what is your diet looking like? Most vegans just need to supplement b12. Maybe try to eat more dark leafy greens and protein rich foods. If this really concerns you I'd talk to your doctor but you can also lose hair from stress.

Trail mix, you can easily make your own. Nut butters Avocado. You can make date balls (Google or pinterest) Clif bars. Crackers and hummus Fruit

I love a lot of these ideas! I'm definitely going to be trying a few. The breakfast bowl sounds pretty good especially during the cold season. :)

been vegetarian for about 10 years now :smile: feel free to add me

This always happens to me if I have had a big meal or snack before my workout. It's pretty normal. Just try to wait an hour or so after eating when you do a workout.

Whipped cream cheese with cinnamon sugar on top (can even use butter instead of cream cheese) loved it since I was little. Sometimes if I want a savory taste I'll do cream cheese with some pepper and spinach.

My goal is 1471. Feel free to add me :)

Are you doing any exercise? Are you weighing your food out? Wait a bit longer and see if it changes if no change in another two weeks try slightly adjusting your calories. Maybe try 1300 or 1400?

Swai has a less fishy taste and adding nutmeg to fish can make it taste less fishy. Just don't add too much or the nutmeg will overpower it

Are you counting calories or macros? If you depend on calories then do the 244 if you do the macros part then you can do either.

I'm in! I'm hoping to lose 5-7 pounds which I'm really motivated to lose since after that I can start maintaining.

I can relate. I've been bulimic for 9 years but in recovery for 2 years so far. My hardest was dealing with meals but I found in the beginning to always meal plan/prep. I'd prepare all my meals the night before or in the morning so I had no excuse to miss. This helped trying to get my hunger signals back too and in a…

Any nut butter. I usually put laughing cow cheese on it or whipped cream cheese and top it with some spinach.

Greek yogurt, protein powders, egg whites, lean turkeys/chicken, low fat diary products like cottage cheese.

Keep a diary of foods you eat and any symptoms you feel. Have you recently started adding more fiber foods in your diet? That could be it.

Mustard on toasted bread. I got it from my dad but he would add onions to his.

2 pounds in a week could be anything. Weight fluctuates all the time. I've been a recovered bulimic for almost two years now. My weight constantly fluctuates depending on food,water, bowel movements and if its close to my period. If you are seriously worrying about the constant gaining and feel very triggered or concerned…

Cutting is losing body fat and trying to maintain muscle. Look on the iiym website and look on the forums and FAQ. It should help you out a lot.

When I cook it I'll add cinnamon to the water while it's heating up. Then once oats are all cooked I'll usually add a bit of coconut milk and slice up some strawberries and stir about half of it in. Then I'll melt a tablespoon of crunchy almond butter and kind of cover the top of it as like a glaze and add the rest of the…

You can always add protein powder to almond/cashew milk and then add to oatmeal or cereal. During the summer I'm really into smoothies or overnight oats. Maybe even try yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit/veg.

If you want a soda to try then look up zevia . Zero calories and sweetened with truvia or monk fruit depending on the flavor you choose. They're pretty good

Good idea. I joined. :)

Mine is from a magic the gathering card. :| My family is pretty big into it and I happened to like the name Linvala.

Avocado and melons like cantaloupe and honeydew. Sometimes other fruit/veg really irritate my mouth which I heard had something to do with pollen or birch allergy? I noticed I can tolerate some if they are cooked but avocado and those melons break me out in rashes.

I quit smoking about 6 months ago and it was definitely affecting my exercise time. I Smoked alot and it was definitely not good. I would be out of breath after 15 mins and would have to stop every so often for a minute to catch my breath. Now I feel fine and can easily run without stopping. Best decision every but I still…

Yep! even the BBQ sauce. I used to think that too since it's usually associated with meat but you're good
