I've read about her before. She loves the publicity. Be warned if you go looking for videos of her that she is an exhibitionist, earns her money by broadcasting herself to men who like fat women. As far as she is concerned, the fatter she gets, the more sexy and attractive she gets, and this is affirmed by the men she…

A year ago, I was running 11-13 min/km when I first started. Did a "fun run" with hubby and had lots of little kids running past us. This year, I can get down to 6:15 min/km on a 5 km run, and a very comfortable pace on a relaxed 10 km run is 7:30 min/km. Hang in there!

I did when I was younger, then had to stop because I would be so wiped out for weeks afterwards. Then when I tried to start donating again (hello 9/11) they wouldn't take my blood. Proteins in my blood (probably due to celiac, I suspect) trip up their Hep B test, even though I don't have it. So I'm banned too.

Vegan ironman triathlete: http://myvega.com/team-vega/brendan-brazier/biography Author of "The Thrive Diet" and other books. Not 100% raw or gluten free, but a good start.

Have you read Brendan Brazier?

If you don't want FitBit to adjust your MFP, just unlink it from the account. I aim to have a consistent number of calories across all days, rather than trying to eat more on exercise days and considerably less on rest days. I still fluctuate a good deal, though, and it is easy for me to look at my FitBit adjustment/MFP…

It is a myth that other plant sources are "incomplete" and don't contain all 9 amino acids. http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2007nl/apr/protein.htm But quinoa is fabulous and I use it lots.

The vocal minority!

They don't make it easy. I know you can do exports if you have their premium subscription, but I don't. I just used the dashboard view and the calendar picker to pick each day, then typed into a spreadsheet. Not the easiest way to go about things, but only took me a little while plugging away as I watched TV.

Using Heybales' spreadsheet myself, the resultant TDEE was about 50 calories off from my 3 month average TDEE on Fitbit.

Cold salads I like: - quinoa - bean - potato - marinated vegetables

The fiber "recommended" amount is not a maximum, it is a minimum. My recommended amount is 30 g, and I am generally consuming between 60 and 90. Everybody is different, but that doesn't bother my stomach. If I was to eat grains, however, that would cause me problems. If you've found what works for you, then go for it.

My diary is open!

If whole grains are causing you pain, have you considered celiac disease? Celiac could also lead to anemia and cause dizziness, but you say you have lots of energy.

Eat the same foods in different proportions. Make a salad, veggie, starch, and protein for supper. He takes lots of the starch, you take a small portion of the starch. And why do you have too cook differently for the toddler?

Other whole food options - nuts, seeds, roasted chickpeas, pop-top beans, hb eggs, jerky, tetra boxes of milk/soy milk, etc.

I work out early, and have breakfast afterward. So, pancakes and eggs, cooked cereal, baked potato, supper leftovers, soup, fruit and nuts, etc.

I have supper leftovers, fresh fruit and veggies with hummus.

Ran today in rain, hail, and snow. The hail was the most difficult, as I was running directly into it, but I had my cap up and kept my head down and kept on slogging through. I was completely soaked when I got home!

I do 1.5 hr workout in the morning, hard workout. After work I walk . Sometimes I do something else as well. Evaluate how your body feels. Are you too tired or sore? Lots of headaches? If you're feeling good and not burning yourself out, you should be okay. But you are the only one who knows how your body feels.

Yes, you can go "quick add calories" and enter -200. Or you can find a hamburger bun and enter -1 servings.

I aim for around 1900. My diary is open.

Haven't read it, but I am celiac and intolerant of other grains. Check my diary if you want to see what I am eating.

Raspberries, blackberries

Veggies, strawberries, lentils. Check my diary, my potassium column is turned on.

More info! Did you eat before? How has your health been the last few days? Does this happen often or just this time? Any other digestive distress while running or working out?

Holy crap! How inexcusably rude! I have had a number of meat-eaters tease me or criticize me about my food choices, but I would never dream of walking up to a friend, let alone a stranger, and start criticizing them about their food choices. Good grief. And obviously she didn't convert you! :laugh: Why am I vegetarian?…

I am grain free, dairy free, vegetarian. You are welcome to browse my diary for ideas. Ask if you have any questions.

My boys like Udi's or Glutino Genius Bread. I don't eat any premade, as I am grain-free.
