Chocolate cake, french fries and white rice..

Optimum Nutrition double rich chocolate and vanilla ice cream are my favorites! But I heard the mocha flavor is more tasty (I haven't tasted it)..

There are "conflicting" info on the Internet on artificial sweeteners. This is frustrating, especially for someone who's recently just started to pay more attention to his/her health. I also struggle to cut through the noise and find the real science. I'm wondering what are your thoughts on ace k? it's got bad reputation…

+10000000 yessss, and it takes a huge amount of determination to limit my portion of rice.... I also avoid Starbucks Java Chip....

I had oatmeal with honey and fruit and milk. Simple...

Oh I see... Thank you!

Whey protein powder, sometimes as pre-workout or post-workout, depends on when I eat my last meal and when I can eat my next meal. I can turn into hangry beast after working out, the protein helps me to stay civil towards others and food. Hahaha. It also helps with recovery, I feel less sore, sometimes I don't. Although it…

Hi, thanks for your response. Yes, I'm getting enough (even some people say I'm getting more than enough). But I'm a bit confused here. Don't the ones who doesn't workout regularly need less protein? Athletes or active people need more because they tear their muscle when working out? Could you explain it to me?

I agree. I don't have a lot of muscle, so losing muscle is not a good thing. That means I have to eat even less.

Thanks for your advice, I did talk to my doctor and will talk to her again if I still don't get my period back...

This video is hilarious! Hahahaha :lol:

Thanks!

Thank you! I do love fish, chicken and egg, but I'm not a fanatic. I will lower my protein intake if science says it's too much.

I might be undereating... But doesn't it take a long time to cause loss of periods, etc? I don't have low body fat and I work out only 2x a week.

I haven't got mine this month :( I drop 10 kgs (4 before using MFP and 6 since I joined MFP ) or so. I went to a clinic and was given vitamin B by the doctor to improve my metabolism (and also a prescription of a hormon regulating meds that I have to take if the vitamin doesn't work. Primolut, anyone familiar with it?). I…

Thank you for all your responses!!☺ Just one more question is your protein intake on rest days the same as workout days?

I'vé never tried their cookies and cream. I use ON double rich chocolate. I love it! It's not too sweet. After finishing this double Rich chocolate, I think I'll try the vanilla ice cream. Has anyone ever tasted it?

It is hard to judge if those fat burners really work. We have to take into account their food and workout. Sometimes when people invest a lot of money in supplements, they want to get results,so they pay attention to what they eat and make sure that they workout. They ultimately reach their goals. We can't pick fat burner…

Thank you very much!!!! Yes, I look like somewhere between 25%-30%. I just used the scale which can measure body fat percentage and it said 30% .

I'll look up that picture, thanks ☺..

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I just recently started weight lifting. I used to do too much cardio. Thank you for the suggestion! I'll Google the book.:)

Actually I kind of dislike it too, it took serious efforts to reach my current weight. However, the fact is my body fat % is high, I have to accept that fact so I can do something about it. Thanks for the suggestion! Best of luck for you too :D

Thank you!!! So, no aggressive deficit.. That's good news....

I take measurements weekly and use calculator to estimate my body fat. I've tried several formulas and the results range from 27-28%. They do have around 3% error margin, so I could have less body fat than the results show. But my goal is at least 21% or better, 19%.

Thank you for your answers!!!
