#NoCardio Crew checking in. Hate cardio. Hate running. The extent of my cardio is a 5 minute warm-up walking on the treadmill before lifting. Lifting is all the "cardio" I need.

For whatever reason, society is very comfortable accusing people of being underweight - but no one would ever call another person obese to their face.

People make their diet way more complicated than it needs to be. I eat fast food, cookies, alcohol, etc., on a regular basis. I pay no attention to good fats v. bad fats. I eat all the sugar I want. But I maintain my calorie limit, stay at a healthy weight, lift weights regularly and get my protein. I just had a physical…

You can believe that all you want, but there's no factual basis for it. As I see it, could can believe in your myth and continue to have a hard time meeting your protein goals, or you can live in the real world and eat more animal protein.

5' 8" 155 lbs. Still have a long way to go, but I feel pretty good about my body.

My avatar is where I'm at today.…

This "feature" bugs me. I know how to manage my calories - I don't want the Fitbit managing it for me. I want my food calories to feed over to Fitbit (so that I can easily see "calories burned" and "calories eaten" on the Fitbit Dashboard), but I don't want the Fitbit adjusting my MFP calories. I have my MFP calories…

So much wrong information in here. The only real concern with eating below your BMR is potentially being deficient in macro- and micro-nutrients, because your overall intake is so low. But there are ways to solve that. Eating below BMR will not cause vital functions to shut down. That's just complete crap. Your body stores…

Your lack of eating and feelings of depression are probably related. You said this has been going on for months, so at this point, you've got to be malnourished to some extent. Malnourishment can certainly lead to feelings of malaise and sadness. You need to eat. "Only eat when you're hungry" assumes that you're actually…
