Definitely. If you are meeting your minimum calorie goal (BMR) and can continue to work out/live etc and not feel fatigued while not eating more, go for it. My BMR is 1660 and I have been training quite heavily, often burning around 2000 cal per session, 5-6 days per week. I only eat between my 1660 and 1800 and I feel…

If you had colitis or Crohn's you would know for sure . It's not something that can be ignored at all. I wasn't suggesting you had a bowel disease, I was only speaking from my experience and suggesting that MAYBE there could be an underlying issue you may want to talk to your doc about. For me it ended up being IBD. But…

Can I ask what your calorie intake has been like and how long the feeling of fullness has been going on? Maybe you just haven't been eating enough, and now when you try to eat enough it's too much for your stomach. I know that I have gone through phases where I definitely did not eat enough, and so like you said, my…

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that!! Thankfully, I'm really not that far on the spectrum so it is a lot easier for me to manage than I would imagine it is for you. I have a really good friend who also has Crohn's and I do know he suffers a lot. I wish you the best of health!

Glad to help! Could you maybe have digestion problems? I don't know the first thing about you, but generally when I hear that it makes someone physically uncomfortable to eat the bare minimum, I tend to think there could be an underlying health concern possibly? for the last 13 months, I have had terrible digestion. The…

Everyone has a different BMR (basal metabolic rate). This is the number of calories your body burns at rest over 24 hours. For example, if I did nothing but sleep for 24 hours, my body would burn 1660 calories. This calorie burn comes from your heart beating and pumping blood, lungs breathing, metabolism running etc. Your…

The best advice I can give is to make small changes over time if you want it to last. When I was 14 I decided to become a vegetarian, because (looking back) it was "the cool thing to do". As you can guess, it didn't last long and I ended up just buying a Whopper from Burger King one day just cause we were passing by and…

I think almost ALL vegan protein powders are disgusting!!! I've tried so, so many. I always just end up choking down my smoothie, but I am okay with that because I know it's healthy and I don't need to enjoy every single meal I have. Then I tried the Vega Sport (vanilla) and I actually make a second smoothie every day…

Like everyone else said, calorie deficit is the thing to focus on if you can't really exercise! Everyone has a different BMR (basal metabolic rate) which is the number of calories your body burns over 24 hours of rest (so for example, if I did nothing but sleep for 24 hours my body would burn 1660 calories). This cal burn…

xvapor have you done the trail?! If you've been there I would appreciate any tips you have for the trail!!

It costs nothing to pack a stove in a car. But it costs money to buy a stove. It also costs money to buy everything we need for the trip and to travel is a hefty expense as well. We buy everything Second hand, but nevertheless, are still on a tight budget. So if we don't need to buy something, we are going to just not buy…

Oh I also forgot to mention, we have a grayl! What is your straw like? I thought about getting the straw but I thought it was a bit small. We even used the grayl in Thailand, filling up our drinking water in sketchy dirty bathrooms. The baby even drank the water and we never got sick! One of the greatest inventions ever!!

Also just to clear up my original post, I meant raw as in dense high calorie foods (as in nuts seeds etc,) and anything else like that. Not fruits vegetables etc. I have a greens powder I'll be taking to get my serving of fruits and veg in so I don't have to waste so much space and carry all that extra weight :)

Lorrpb we are actually driving across country! So space isn't really the issue, it's just the funding. Coach Jen...you're brilliant you know that? I never even thought to bring a small pot haha. Some of the huts have fire pits. I would say...maybe 8 of the 12 huts so I could totally buy a very small lightweight pot and…

Sierra I live 9 hours away from any mountains so practice hikes are out of the question for me! Lol. And I really don't mind going a while withou hot food :)

Ya thanks for that, I have been training for a very long time. Just looking for some other tips to give me a little more of a push in the final few months. To everyone else, thanks for the super helpful advice! Coachjen, the problem with the stove is more so the fact that we are travelling half way accross the country for…

I cannot stand training on an empty stomach. I spent a couple months in Thailand living at a Muay Thai (Thai kickboxing) gym and they train first thing in the morning before they serve breakfast. It was so brutal and I didn't get the results I had hoped for. Once I got back to Canada and continued to train I started to eat…

Hello. I am vegetarian who does eat eggs, and very little dairy. Feel free to add me! I've been vegetarian for 4 years now and am slowly making a full transition to dairy free. I have studied nutritional advisory and done extensive research on vegan/vegetarian diets as I want to make sure I am not lacking in a single…

My favourite will always be "C*ck Soup" complete with a picture of a rooster.

Muay Thai? That's awesome!! Let me know how it goes :) It is a brutal sport but oh so fun :)

Thanks for that! Looking forward to trying it!

I don't mean literally solid. I mean like...it's good. "Solid meal, man!" Ya know...?

Lol. Chiropractors are not nutrition specialists. And that is unreal advice he is giving you. Please don't listen to that. Oatmeal, especially sugar free, is a solid carb. Continue to eat and do so knowing you're just fine :) Cheers! ~M

It is true that they are high in fat, but you just remember that fat is essential for good health! And hemp hearts are full of very good fats. Adding healthy fat to your diet can actually help you lose weight! For example, I was having a really hard time seeing results. I started adding a tbsp of coconut oil to my drink in…

You're right! Lots of people will tell you "don't worry! Eat! You're supposed to gain weight!" Which is true to a certain extent, but gaining too much is never a good thing. Continue to exercise. Definitely. What you can do during pregnancy all depends on what you were doing before pregnancy. If you were doing moderate…

Me too! :smiley: You've got this, no problem. I have been tracking personally for months now, but just discovered this "community" today, so feel free to add me if you'd like! Accountability sure does help. Cheers! ~M

Hi! I am a vegetarian who consumes eggs and next to no dairy and I've been at it going on 4 years. I have never stopped doing research to make sure I nourish my body properly and don't lack in any nutrients and have started studying nutritional advisory. While protein is definitely a huge one, there are other things as…

Thanks! I'll do that! :)

So kind! Thank you! You are right where you need to be, always remember that. :) Your cat...super cute by the way! Cheers! ~M
