i had a problem with calcium too, I take the calcium + vitamin D gummies but if you are not keen on supplements, try Almond milk, its really good and has 45% of your calcium needs in 8 oz

i too have asked this, since its a default for MFP, i wish they would address this issue. If you have any sort of fruit or dairy, you are done. I have only used it as a guide to know what snacks are dooming me but for the natural sugars it counts, I wouldn't worry about them. good luck

I did the C2K program about 5 years ago and stuck with running for 4 years. I ran almost every morning with my neighbor. I never loved it, I waited for that to happen but especially looking back, I hated it. There were sporadic good days where I felt like i could run forever or the morning was beautiful but other than that…

I spread mine on my sandwiches in Lieu of mayo. I try to include it in most of my lunches somehow. I put it in my tacos too. I put it in salad dressing to thicken and richen them up. If you are a pinterest person, there are a ton of things to do with Avacados on there. There was one on there to treat it like a potato skin…

just in the ingredients you list on your typical day you can add more calories....don't go for 2% cheese, use full fat...that should help. Having no appetite can sometimes and often indicate a form of depression. Some eat more some eat less when they feel this way.....some don't equate it to food. Either way, your big…

quinoa? Makes a great breakfast, add milk, dried fruit like you would oatmeal. Won't leave you groggy as its loaded with protein. Also, this is a good smoothy, 1 cup frozen cherries, 1/2 cup milk or sub, 1/4 greek or reg yogurt, 1 tbsp unsweeted cocoa powder and a small amount of honey if you need it sweeter. Blend! Its…

go lightly if going raw, it can be hard on the stomach. I would shred it and make it into a chinese chicken salad.....add roasted chicken and toasted almonds. Then make a dressing of 2 parts rice vinegar, one part olive oil, pinch of sugar and a touch of sesame oil and a splash of water or just rice vinegar, water and…

go to about.com and do a search for beginning weight lifting. Print it out and bring it to the gym. This is your journey and those guys don't care how you work out, noone matters but you and your health. That only happens when you work at it and commit to let everyone else do their business and you do your own. Weights are…

I was the breakfast chef at a restaurant and this is what I learned.....don't touch it. Pour the egg mix in the oiled pan and let it sit at Medium and don't touch it until it seems almost done. Then you can slide it onto a plate and flip it onto the other side to finish, but turn off the heat, then put your ingredients in…

google Trisha Yearwoods roast pork. Its amazing! We have it almost every week. So good!

have you tried red beer? Beer mixed with tomato juice or v8. It sounds weird but its good! Also, Corona light with some lime is good too. i am from seattle and loved seattle beers and have switched to Corona light and like it just fine. Other than that, request you guys have cocktail nights in between beer nights and have…

I looked at your diary and you are on par for protein so IMHO I would not add more as you are not doing a lot of muscle work. I would go into the settings on your diary and add a sugar column, you would be surprised how much sugar you are consuming and that in itself is a culprit for slow fat loss. Its a hard one to look…

This is the part that eludes me also....its hard to log and get the amount of "calories burned" on your log. Might be another good question for the forum. I did a very intense workout today for an hour and know I burned a ton of calories but could only log like 100 on here.....so I just keep it in my head.

weights! Hands down! If you are doing them right, your heartrate will be up higher and longer than if you do cardio and you will be continuing to burn calories for hours after you stop working out. just regular cardio only burns calories while you are actually doing the cardio, ie, running, elliptical etc.. You want to do…
