I don't get filled up by drinking calories so they are awful for me. If they are filling tasty convenience that fits your calories and macros then great. If not there are a million other options.

They mainly clean out your wallet. Your organs clean themselves. It is a bad idea.

Assuming female loft heavy weights. You will not look bulky that takes testosterone or lots and lots of effort

Vaping. Ie going around purposefully breathing in candy scented poison

One awesome thing about tracking food is you can figure that out for you. For me it is volume and fiber and protein. Fats don't work But track what you eat and they occasionally ask yourself how things made you feel.

MFP should feature this story on Friday for Valentine's day. Congratulations this is wonderful for you both.

Regarding calories as you lose weight. Yes you will burn fewer calories as you lose weight so your calorie goal will go down. You wil have less mass to sustain and move around I personally update my weight every Monday from my trending weight on my weight trendline app libra. The 5 week goal is something i find discouraged…

If midnight to midnight is hard and it is there is nothing wrong with logging noon to noon.

Call them out on it. "Wow how unkind of you to pressure me to have something when I have already said no. I know you probably care about me and my health and are not trying to make this harder for me but you are making it harder. When I say no thank you please respect my choice" People will be stunned and then realize they…

Ok one of the best things you can do for yourself is buy a digital food scale. Then measure everything solid or semisolid in grams and carefully measure the volumes of your liquids. This way you can input things accurately and thus know how close to your goals you are. Good luck and keep learning

You are forgetting the calories you are burning during the process of living . Enter your stats into mfp and how much you want to lose a week and then eat back half your exercise calories

I find one of thegreatest joys of travel is the different foods. It is a great exposure to other cultures. Every culture has traditional foods that are healthy and delicious. Try the different every day foods original to the culture not just the special holiday foods. Also most cultures walk more then in the USA and trying…

How mang grams chicken? Green beans? The oil i see shining on top? What are your personal goals?

1. Use a weight trending app 2. Use a food scale 3. Be kind and forgiving to yourself
-
Nope not an act of God. You are in control of your own future. This is both hopeful and scary. Start by getting a food scale and without judgment just log accurate what you eat and drink. Once thst becomes a habit then look and see what some easy swaps are. . You can do this, it will not be easy but if you log it can happen

Yes MFP is good for support. However, as I am sure you can understand and empathize different people feel supported by different things. If I posted complaining about my slow weight loss and someone did what you suggested and just said "hugs it suck yeah we will just never lose weight that sucks" I would feel insulted ,…

Men and women can be friends. Talk to your husband. Why not even work out with them? Most likely just friends but you should be able to figure it out by talking to him

A few thing try a weight trending app I like Libra it helps smooth the daily fluctuation Also are you using a food scale?
-
Op you said you are misunderstanding me. If I clearly say I know "xyz" but I'm just frustrated right now then it's ALSO AN OPTION TO SAY "I know you are working hard and I am sorry you feel frustrated" . If you said "I know about toothpicks but I still have spinach in my teeth and I am so very frustrated about it" which is…
-
What happens when you have spinach in your teeth? Fake people that don't care say you look lovely Real friends hand you a toothpick or some floss and say hey you have a little spinach in your teeth. The support here is the second much more useful type.
-
No you have made great progress. You are stopping smoking that is a huge and wonderful thing to do for your health (plus it is nice to everyone around you) You have started going to the gym. I would log by activity in mfp and eat back only half the gym calories as heart rate monitors are notoriously bad particularly for…

Igain weight if i stop calorie counting. (I am currently trying to lose 25 lbs i put on assuming i was good at goal weight) I spend more money if i stop using my budgeting app . I get lost if i do not use a directions app. I think these are not disorders but gaming the system knowing that these are tracking mechanisms that…

1. Sounds like you should talk to your doctor any your physical therapist. They should be able to help you determine both a good weight and how to go about that. 2. Also re doctor appointments check locally many places have a van service either run by a charity or public transit that can help pick up people who need it for…

First make a rule you can eat whatever guilt free as long as you log it first and put it on/in a proper plate/bowl/cup. Don't tell yourself you can only have x foods instead anything is fine as long as on proper plate and logged before you eat it. These two rules are fantastic for me. I tend to want to keep snacking but…

Yes. You need calories to heal
-
What are your goals? Gain weight? Lose weight? Eat more varieties? I find it odd that you are both complaining that eggs keep you full the longest but that can not eat other things.
-
Ok I have seen you post 3 or 4 posts where you take an out of focus picture from an odd angle and ask us if you look slim. You therefore look like you need to focus less on looks and more or health. Do your bmi, perhaps measuring as well. But, and I mean this constructive as possible you need to look at getting therapy.…

I think it is a cop out to say it is harder or easier based on personality. It is not taking responsibility and is an excuse. I

This sounds unkind. Either it is not good so values the recipient as worthy of only the not good stuff Or It is good in which case it is lying and valuing yourself as only having bad taste. How about "Would you like to split this? Or Oh this is tasty would you like some?
