Some resturaunts have their nutrition facts online. You can look beforehand and try to get a few ideas of healthy options. Also, sometimes people may already have some options logged in MFP that you can look up. Besides that you can just use your best judgement. Being off by 100-200 calories won't have a huge effect on…

As far as counting calories, if you're losing weight you don't have to do it. I'm a big fan of it because I tend to grossly over/underestimate how many is in something. You might want to start, but you might have to to lose the last 30 pounds of so. Either way if you're losing keep doing what you're doing. As far as…

I would make sure that you have all of your stats into MFP correctly to track what your calorie intake should be. I'm guessing you have it set at 2 pounds per week. I usually undershoot my workout days, in case I skip any days I usually go, plus I work at a desk all week, so am pretty sedentary though out the day. Cardio…

Same thing even for a male, your chest will look bigger when losing stomach fat.

Fit in 10-20 minutes or push-ups, crunches, planks, running, jump rope, standing squats, yoga etc before you usually shower in the morning/evening. These are things that can be without the gym, and you don't have to shower twice in a day from working out. It's all about making it work for you, but you have to prioritize…

I've seen it done before for non-runners. Most 5ks really aren't competitive, and are made to raise money for some sort of cause. I know most people who are willing to pay the $20-$30 and walk are not frowned upon, and it is still encouraged because that's still an extra amount going towards the cause.

I know a lot of people will have a cheat MEAL and not a cheat day. This can help satisfy cravings without undoing multiple days of calorie deficits. Also you can plan to eat less that day if you know you might have an 800-1000 Calorie dinner.

This works for some people. As long as you are still getting a healthy number of calories and can sustain it I don't see a problem.

I've been eating a lot healthier. I focus on eatin a lot of protein, I think it really fills you up a lot more per calorie than carbs, plus it's good for muscles. But if I eat healthy, and good portions throughout most of the day, if I'm not as hungry at night I might have a normal hamburger instead of 2 turkey burgers or…

I know one of my goals right now is to maintain my muscle while losing weight/fat. I still drink protein usually 2 times a day. If you track it and still are at a deficit then it works. You might be a little light on actual nutrients in food since you are probably already eating light, but it's all about your goals.

Beef jerky is my favorite. I like it when I'm stressed because you really have to chew it sometimes. A little high in sodium, but besides that a good source of protein.

Turkey burger with chopped onions!
