I've always done 5 myprotein mocha/chocolate flavdrops and like 20 mL of cashew milk + 2 splenda. Ends up around like 4-5 calories per coffee. Lately I've been adding a serving of coco powder to get through the unbearable canadian 6am mornings though :"(

Drinking the milk of another species is not only linked to health issues, but it's weird and promotes a lot of suffering. Just drink almond/cashew milk :). Better for you and you're not helping rape cows

Eating at a big deficit is going to cause a lot of mental and physical triggers in your brain; especially if you restrict foods too. I think it's fairly natural to a lot of people

Her doctor isn't a nutrition who's going to devise a meal plan for her, so "generally" speaking, lowing carbs usually has a fairly direction effect on weight loss. But like others have said, if you eat whole foods and count your calories you'll be fine :)

Just play it safe. If you have a good workout and you feel hungry have some extra food. Too many variables to even bother basing your tdee on an exercise machine

If you have a lazy day once a week and you notice weight gain after a couple of months maybe cut back by 50 cals or move a bit more. Should be pretty easy to gauge

The vitafiber bars are good but I still question how healthy of a product it is

While people certainly develop negative images of themselves and sometimes can't see how good they look, people also tend to react badly to change and are used to a heavier you. Just remember they're just looking out for you =)

I've gained and lost lots of weight throughout school, from up in the 200s several times down to the 160s. I've had a lot of highs and lows, but just keep at it and remember that even at your worst, it can only get better. Keep your head up :)

Eat more food/calories. Ice cream, peanut butter, smoothies are good if you don't like eating. Gaining weight can be pretty easy if you just eat some calorie dense foods

I'm 5'6 145 lbs and when I eat 1600 cals I feel weak and tired quite often. When I bump it up to 1900-2000, or even 2200+ I feel a lot better.

Weight loss is calories in vs calories out. I'm sure you can answer your own question :). Have a smaller dinner with mostly vegetables and just get back on track tomorrow/

You probably don't need nearly as much protein as you think. The fitness industry has convinced the majority that you need ridiculous amounts of protein to get and maintain muscle (people taking more than 1g per lbs of total body weight for example). I'm a 150 lbs vegan male and I usually end up between 70 and 100 just…

Calorie deficit.

The fiber in fruit aids in the digestion of fructose. You want to get a variety of carb and food sources, but avoiding natural fruit isn't good or useful to you.

I agree with RJ. Protein powders are just whey mixed with artificial flavors and sucralose (splenda). If you don't like the taste you're much better off getting your protein from whole foods that you enjoy, with the added benefit of nutrients, vitamins and fiber.

If you try to do this your body will fight back and you'll most likely develop an eating disorder and destroy your hormonal balance and metabolism.

I urge you to buy (or download) "Brain over Binge" in pdf form and read it tonight. It puts things into perspective and helped me a lot.

Nothing wrong with it, but you're probably not getting much benefit from the fruit. You're missing most of the fiber, and only some of the vitamins will diffuse into the water. :)

I eat at a 500-600 deficit 6 days a week and then eat around 100 over maintenance every Monday. I prefer this to just eating at a smaller deficit because it feels like a refeed/replenishment and I can fit in some of the dirtier foods a bit easier.

While some cereals are fine, lower fiber high sugary cereals can be metabolically damaging and slow down leptin among other things. I would recommend oats, rice, bread, etc. before eating a box of sugar crisp or Krave. I like cereal on refeeds too, but try to stick to the mini wheats and things like that if you have a…

Stir-frys. I do black beans, lentils, kidney beans, rice, peas, edamame, spinach. Add some seasoning, garlic, ginger, maybe some sirracha or hot sauce. Tastes phenomenal; tons of fiber and nutrients.

Is this the 1940s where we can't make educated inferences about obvious things. Yes you can lose weight eating only pop-tarts. No, you should not.

Worst case scenario just take off 400 cals from tomorrow and enjoy your food today

1200 calories of strawberry pancakes =)

frozen strawberries, cashew milk, 6-7 ice cubes and a 35 calorie strawberry yogurt. I add some strawberry protein and for 210 cals I can make a massive smoothie that tastes just like a milkshake with fiber, protein and minimal added sugars

I hope you're not trying to lose at 5'4 120 lbs :/

I find myself a lot less ravenous on days when I'm busy with school/hobbies and not thinking about food. If you drink lots of water and get enough fiber and you're not just bored you should be fine Edit: Looked at your diary and it's no wonder you're hungry. 330 calories from processed bars, 290 from peanut butter/mayo and…

ITT 400 people suggest oatmeal, 100 people suggest some sort of egg on toast/muffin, and the rest suggest fruit smoothies or protein pancakes. Saved you an hour of reading
