Fun fact: there are two cranial nerves that contribute to your sense of smell; the olfactory and trigeminal nerves. The olfactory detects odour, while the trigeminal detects sensation. For instance, the cooling sensation of peppermint is trigeminal, while the scent of flowers is olfactory. I was born anosmic, and I can…

I made an epic 17,000 calorie chocolate birthday cake a few weeks ago. Seeing how much butter, chocolate, sugar and cream went into it, I wasn't that surprised.

:D Quark is a type of soft cheese.

I've been having a English muffin with avocado, pepitas and nutritional yeast.

*raises hand* I've been vegetarian for 11 years, experiemented with being pescatarian, vegan and raw during that time. I'm so happy to be back to vegan again :)

Nothing to do with water retention, but I once drank 1.5 litres of iced green tea in around an hour and peed almost continuously for a good few hours afterward. Never again.

I'd weigh it the same way I do with anything that you only eat part of (apples, corn cobs, pistachios): - Weigh the whole fruit/veg/nut/serve - Eat the edible part - Weigh the inedible part - Subtract the inedible part weight from the whole weight I wish i had some cherries right now.. :p

The database entries for some foods could be incorrect, meaning the macros may not add up to be the same as the calories. Aim to meet your calorie goal, and don't stress too much about the macros going over.

Agreed. This is the one I use; only peanuts and salt. Does that Kraft one even taste like pb with all those different oils added? Sounds nasty :# Edit: removed image :p

Please get professional help.

I've been making the jump to vegan over the past week or so: Breakfast: choc peanut butter thickshake Lunch: 6 inch salad and avocado sub, no cheese Snack: chocolate almond milk, oreos and potato chips Dinner: udon noodles with mushroom sauce Snack: (safe) raw cookie dough

I've been vegetarian/vegan for 10+ years for ethical and personal reasons. It has taken me a very long time to ensure that my diet includes enough of all the nutrients I need. I've found that the more foods I cut out (meat, then seafood, then dairy and eggs), the more challenging it is to get all my nutrients. I don't…

It has the right flavour, though not quite the same 'fatty' mouthfeel. It's great to give extra pb flavour without too many extra calories, such as in a pb milkshake or in a peanut sauce. I personally would rather just use normal pb on toast though. Pb crepes sound delicious.

This is not something you should have to deal with. Your parents need to step in and make him see how stupid he's being, or take him to the hospital.

Avoid creamy sauces and crumbed/battered/fried food. Then again, if you want to splurge on your birthday, go for it!

I used to make these cottage cheese pancakes for breakfast. They are high protein and really filling. The taste and texture reminds me of french toast. https://thefitblog.com/recipe-cottage-cheese-pancakes/

It's great that you seem to be hitting your protein goals quite easily! Other nutrients that are important for vegetarians to focus on are iron (found in soy products, beans, grains...), zinc (beans, legumes, nuts, seeds...) and omega-3 (flax, hemp, walnuts...). Also, if you don't consume a lot of dairy and eggs, you may…

The USDA database is pretty handy. https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list

Breakfast: Toast with PB and sliced apple Lunch: Tomato stew with rice, potato and lentils Afternoon Snacks: Potato chips, soy hot chocolate with a scotch finger biscuit Dinner: Baked beans with garlic tofu Evening Snacks: Blue doritos, tea with a scotch finger biscuit

Leftovers from dinner: a one-pot stew made from brown rice, potato, peas, lentils and canned tomato.

If mfp gave you 1200 cals per day, you really should be trying to eat as close as possible to that. It is generally agreed that 1200 is a minimum daily intake for women.

I am vegetarian, moving toward vegan, but not for weight loss reasons. I eat what I want, and make it fit my calorie allowance.

Does the nutrition label tell you how many servings there are per package? If so, you can count how many pieces there are total, then divide by how many servings, which will give you the number of pieces per serving.

Breakfast: Black bean and sweet potato burrito Lunch: Mexi-lasagne Dinner: Half a Domino's mushroom pizza Had a terrible day at work, so treated myself to pizza

Breakfast Be Natural Protein nut bar Lunch Leftover nutmeat and lentil "mince" on toast Dinner Mexi-lasagne Snacks Hemp and cacao nib raw chocolate Cookies and cream ice cream I should've had more for breakfast before my 4 hour biochem lab, I was soooo hungry after :s

I feel this. I've been told numerous times that I run *weirdly*

I have a debate in a few weeks on this exact topic! There's lots of opinions either way, but personally, I wouldn't eat it because I don't like meat.

About 4 months to lose 10kg (22lbs). That was in 2015, and I maintained for a year and a half. Now I'm back to lose another 10kg!

Filing this away for future use. Thanks everyone!

I wish I could eat Greek yoghurt because of the high protein content, but it causes my mouth and throat to burn :/ I don't tend to snack a lot, but edamame beans, apple with cheese, or a protein shake would be my go to
