Sweet potato, avocado, peanut butter, cashews. Mmmm just got hungry writing this!

This sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure how I would do that with peanut butter. Any ideas? Or should I just hide it haha

Mines kinda weird but cilantro...I've always had an aversion to the taste which is aparently genetic. Can't STAND it in anything, in fact I can literally recognize the taste in a big meal if even very little is added

Beans, corn, rice, guac, and a side salad:)

Someone please answer!:)

I think I'll put myself on a timeout too. Thanks for the advice! Glad someone else was in a similar position as me...

I know, and it's pretty embarrassing how hard it is for me, but every time I try measuring out a tablespoon I always end up going back into the jar with a spoon and eating an extra 200 calories worth. I have good self control with basically everything else, there's just something about peanut butter that's really hard for…

My macro goals are 99 G protein and 53 g fat but normally I'm a little lower in fat and higher in protein

At home, yes. At school, no. But even if it is healthy it's making me go way over my macro goals for fat

Around 42 grams, but 53 is my goal.

No no no, she's not refusing to let me see the doctor or anything. I should have phrased that better. When I mentioned it to her, I sounded super scared so I guess to calm me down she was like "oh don't worry it's common for women's periods to get crazy" or something.

Hi guys, I realized the pic I previously added wasn't the best. This shirt really shows my problem areas haha. So I was wondering, does this look like it's fat or loose skin? I don't know how to tell the difference

Right now I'm 5/4 and weigh 124. IVE mentioned it to my mom but she said it was normal.

^^again, I didn't realize 1500 was that low! I followed an online calculator and rounded down like it said to for women. I sometimes feel super full after 1600! At the same time, today I ate this amount and I'm still kind of hungry. I'm not sure about my metabolism because I don't know how to measure that. I'm guessing…

Sorry for the confusion, I wrote that right before bed. I realize it may be fluctuations because my weight went down a little today. I think I'll see how much it's gone up in about a week. Is 1500 really small? Sometimes I feel super over full at the end of the day and it almost feels like too much. Yes, it's supposed to…

I'm eating below maintenance on days I don't strength train and at maintaince on days I do. For me that's 1400 and 1600. Should I be eating above maintenance? It feels like a lot of food already honestly because I'm not used to eating that much.

Thank you so much, that makes me so happy:) is it possibke to look different in the mirror than camera?? Hahaha

If it is skin, will it tighten up as I gain muscle? I know that when I don't pinch there's a noticible bulge on both sides of my waist and the front. I followed the formula you described when I started and now consume about 99 grams each day and I way 124. I was away on vacation for a few days and didn't pay much attention…

You're definitely right about this, but the way I see it there are two "types" of rolls. When I was most insecure I would notice how my skinny friends had tiny rolls of just skin overlapping that somehow made them look skinnier in comparison to over people like me who had thick rolls of fat. I know this all seems petty and…

Haha I took this progress pic on a day when I felt super proud and really noticed a difference:) in some lighting, though, my stomach really sticks out still and I know bending over or sitting down with a bathing suit will still make me uncomfortable. It's my ultimate goal to get rid of that uncomfortableness. So you think…

In the middle section the very last line. I don't think I entered anything incorrectly because I just did it again and got the same results. Also none of the other results seemed skewed

Really interesting! One issue: at one point it told me that in order to lose weight I need to eat 17,799 calories per day...doesn't seem quite right haha.

Didn't log, but I didn't eat lunch because I wasn't hungry and breakfast was mostly fruit. I'm vegan with a non vegan family so my dinner options were pretty limited, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, beans, and rice, but this meant that I had a pretty healthy dinner and could eat a lot without feeling guilty. But either way,…

I've tried vega but I couldn't stand the stevia taste. It's a shame they have so many delicious flavors:(

Mrm veggie protein in chocolate. I love it!! (Clearly from my diary haha). I've actually never heard of seitian...I'll look into it!

It's actually such a coincidence but as I read this I was eating a bowl of tofu scramble for lunch! I haven't experimented with it much but today it was really good....and it has the same amount of protein for about half the cals of beans! Definitely going to have tofu more often and try tempeh. As for the protein powder,…

I just designed my own program haha. I'll let you know how it goes!

5"4, I have an unwanted amount of extra fat on my stomach and arms. I don't need to lose a lot but this fat is enough to make me feel insecure so I'd like to lean up

1 banana, 1/2 table spoon peanut butter, (optional pb2 or Pb powder for more Pb flavor), 1 tbs cacao powder, then 200-400 ml water depending how thick you want it. So good!
