  • Even if the fat storing part is a myth, it's still VERY important to eat more than 1000 calories net... You should never promote eating less than 1000 calories net - it's bad for your weight loss and slows your metabolism. 1200 is the ideal, but for a lot of women that are smaller, 1000 net is the minimum and you can still…

  • Hi! When you start exercising you can experience water retention - which will up your weight temporarily - as your body retains this to assist your muscles in the healing process. You'll weigh more just after exercising too. Water retention can also be caused by high sodium and carb intake, and as you said we can put on a…

  • Low-calorie popcorn! As far as snacks go (that aren't fruit), popcorn is a relatively healthy choice - and much better than crisps (or chips, as they're called in the US) or chocolate - as it has a low amount of calories and is high in fibre. Obviously, this doesn't apply to butter or toffee popcorn though!

  • Hi! I've had MyFitnessPal for a while now but I only started properly using the food diary 2 months ago. Today is the first day I've looked at the community posts and I'm hoping to do so more often now! I'm 25 and I live in London. I'm a keen cook and I'm planning on starting to post healthy meal ideas and photos etc. I've…
    in Post here if you want more friends! Comment by annabel92 May 2017
  • You can either choose especially sweet fruits to snack on (strawberries, grapes, papaya etc.) - which will enable you to get those needed nutrients in - or I would suggest switching to a diet where you have 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day instead of 3, which will help to eliminate cravings and is one of the most…
