Quorn is not vegan! I too struggle to hit protein macros. What I have done is have a protein shake for breakfast which gives a decent hit. I also try and eat a lot of homemade seitan , it is ridiculously easy to make and is very high protein for the calories.

I have that too and it is minging. In my case its a combination of stretched skin and fat. I am hopeful that I can lose the fat, not sure about the loose skin :'(

If it feels like sunburn,but you cant see anything it may be the start of shingles...

I'd love to try this but can't find anywhere in the UK that sells it...

Daily. WiFi scales. Values plugged into Trendweight.com which does some mathematical jiggery pokery to smooth out the ups and downs and just shows the general trend.

As are as I know, 30DS, like running is really high impact. To cure your shin splints you need to rest up, and in future watch your form. One of the things that causes shin splints us pushing off with your toes. I would recommend switching to lower impact body weight exercises that will allow you to strengthen your muscles…

I simply don't have the calories to spare to have a big breakfast, plus I struggle with my protein so I tend to just have a protein shake for breakfast. I have no idea if that is good or bad, but that is what works for me...

I do! And I love love love them! Weight automatically plugged into Fitbit site and MFP. There's also a really good site called Trendweight which can also automatically pulled the data from Fitbit. It uses an algorithm to smooth out the peaks and troughs and show you the more general Trend of your weight and body fat. The…

I'm a geek, so these may not be for everyone but... I love, love, love my Fitbit Aria scales. They are sleek and glossy and digital and wifi so they automatically upload all my weigh in data. They are on a tiled bathroom floor, and they give almost identical readings if I use them 3 times in quick succession.

Another vote for a mooncup/menstrual cycle cup. The things are miraculous. /(And there is anecdotal evidence that they can help cure/relieve cramps as they don't suck the moisture iut of your fanjo like a tampon does)

Also people who clog up the database with their recipes. Ok, this might possibly be useful if the entry included say the recipe book the recipe was from, but what use is "homemade apple pie and custard, 1 serving", to anyone?! Also, I don't think you can correct entries in the app unless it has a bar code?

Have a look at You Are Your Own Gym app and book. It's strength training rather than cardio and has easy stuff all the way up to impossible. There's very little bouncy stuff, and if there is its not sustained, or you can easily switch in a different exercise.

I've had this problem a couple of times - I think with me it was caused by dehydration.

Those aren't the only options. I'm vegan, so no whey, but my protein has no soy either - it's a mix of pea, hemp and something else..

Not if you are still coming in under your calories.

Also, especially with the cereal check your portion sizes. I used to have a bowl of Special K for breakfast, one day I weighted it and realised I was eating a triple portion. A portion of Special K is about 3 spoonfuls, and I would be starving....

271 kcal per 100g serving from here: http://www.greenfrogcreative.co.uk/Sainsburys%20Website/Root%20Folder/Pages/Guide%20Pages%20Scratch.html (under rolls and bagels)

If, like me, you love data and have to weigh in daily, how about plugging your weights into https://trendweight.com/help It plots your weights and smooths out the fluctuations so you get a truer picture of what is happening.

Another vote for Benefiber. Oddly, I find it makes my protein shakes/vitamin drinks much smoother and more palatable some how. I was also going to suggest dried figs/apricots, or flax seeds but they're pretty calorific.

I'm vegan and have my ratios set to 40C/30P/30F. However, I am always under on protein and over on the other two. I don't know if I will ever manage to hit my macros, but it helps make me more mindful of trying to get enough protein.

I lost loads of weight through the weightwatchers online thingy, never went to a meeting. I'm not sure how successful she'll be just eating the meals, though her wallet will be a lot lighter! Tell her to log all her WW meals on MFP, and then hopefully she can wean off them.

Per 100g is actually a lot more sensible - it makes it much easier to compare different products. Also portion size can be very misleading, look at all the US zero calorie products which are zero calories per ridiculously, unrealistically small portions.

I use the Android app, and I log fractions of portions all the time...

Second see a doctor. If your periods stop because of your diet you are too thin, and putting yourself at risk.

I quite like it :-) Means I reliably get a loss when all the water stops being retained...

I don't log it, but I then don't log my post donation snack either :-) Good question!

Of course rickets will give you a nice bow-legged stance that will give you a feet together thigh gap...

I use the "You are Your Own Gym" app, which is lots of bodyweight exercises that don't require any equipment.
