Thanks a lot and that explanation is how I feel. I train hard at the gym and the craving for high fat food is after the gym.

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. I was asking the community here their view on the saturated fat content of nuts and also about how if its possible that a low fat diet can contribute to high fat food cravings. Sorry if my post wasnt clear. It is my first time posting anything. My MFP goal is set at 40g and I typically get no…

I had a new relationship end at the weekend. I'm coping & a few years ago I would have been a hot mess. I'm proud of where I'm at today.

Yes I have strong family history, my body doesn't process cholesterol like others. I have to limit cheese, eggs etc. I'm fit, slim, doesn't matter..I've had 240 cholesterol in tests in the past. Personal trainer first cousin is similar.

I understand this. Last Christmas I had my second bad dating disaster in a short period. I blamed in part for what I looked like. I stopped training and gained 4 kilos. I stopped dating. I was no longer in my gym routine which had been a friendly place for me to go. My back started to hurt and I developed a gut. I realized…

I recently discovered adding vanilla protein powder to my oats! Really worth it as it definitely fills me up more.

I have the Garmin HR+. I have tiny wrists and it's comfortable for me to wear.

Yellow split pea & tomato soup. So nice!

Porridge Oats with Oat Bran. Made with light soya milk & water. Added strawberry and fresh blueberries. A teaspoon of vanilla protein powder and a dash of cinnamon makes the difference.

Hi, Im a petite also. Im 5 feet 2.5. People here have really responded well I think with sound advice and information.I joined the petite group here on MFP and for me its great. You might be interested to join also? I looked up your measurements and its putting you as Obese class 1.…

Hi I'm using an app called female fitness. It's got videos and countdown timer and different levels to choose with training. It links with Google fit which links with my fitness Pal app.

Love pinto beans!

Have you tried dry soy called tvp ( textured vegetable protein) the supermarkets sell it and its easy to use in recipes. Its a dried soy protein and you soak it a bit before using. It is easily used in minced meat type recipes. No need to buy expensive processed pre preparehd but the frozen food aisle will have this.…

Parmesan is always non vegetarian. It always contains animal rennet. Some hard goat cheeses work as an OK substitute.

I'm a psychotherapist and this idea is new to me. Protein intake and sugar intake is linked with mental health yes. Carbs? First I heard this.

Well done. I use Twitter for motivational messages every morning. Maybe that is something that would help you also?

Over the years I've learned a lot! - empty calorie (poor nutrition) or not worth the calorie food like salad dressing, sugary breakfast cereal, jar pasta sauce. - thinking weight training burns more calories than it does. - over exercising to the point of injury. - alcohol makes you eat more & slows down calorie burn & can…

Hi, what does 'crash' mean? Thanks!

I'm 5 2 and weight is 51 kilos or 112 lbs. Fascinating for me to read your posts. I'm new here. I'm seeking to lower body fat % & gain muscle. Its fitness and tone I'm most focused on. I'm learning a lot from this app and these message boards. Thanks!

I'm the same or very similar to you. Petite & have to BMR is 1200. Maintenance calories is around 1400 for me. I will join that petite group seems like the group for me.

Teeth & plaque between their teeth. Go to a dentist & get your teeth cleaned :|

Im at 1200 net because I'm training and consuming more than 1200. 1200 is a big jump from 1800 for you?

Yes also Marmite or Vegemite which is a yeast spread. Great to flavour a soup also.

Is the coffee mate worth it?
