  • Lose weight, regain balance and fitness.
  • that isn't what i said. Please re-read. I also said be kind since I was frustrated. I have been ill for a long time and I'm resuming normal activities after a very prolonged time away from fitness. I've never, ever had to count calories in my entire life. And yes, I gained weight from not eating enough, not eating often…
  • i'm just using the mfp choice that best represents what I have in front of me. If the product/manufacturer is represented, I choose that. I have small apples. There are choices, with diameters listed, of small apples. I looked up calories and asked a friend who is a registered dietician. She said there not to worry about…

I get full very quickly especially from protein. I forget to eat most days. I eat all the foods mentioned but I suppose I'm not eating them in the…
  • Beef, Pork, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, milk, beans, lentils, legumes, Yes, I'm eating those already. But I'm a small, middle aged woman with a disability so my calorie intake isn't that high (1200 to 1400). It is difficult to find options that keep me in the right calorie/macro
