Everything, except that they close at 10pm. I went to Ohio State University and there's one on High St. and I would pass it every night walking home from the bar --- and just curse them loudly for being closed. I would have eaten so many burritos .... instead I ate soooo many gyros....ah...college.

Subway or Chipotle are my go-to 'fast food' places. Chipotle has a nutrition calculator you can use to see what your order will be: http://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/nutrition_calculator/nutrition_calculator.aspx Burrito bowl with Chicken, brown rice, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, green salsa, and cheese is 540 cals. And…

Top 3 things that are always in my home: Eggs Potatoes Onion Other things that are always in my home: Apples Bananas Almonds Milk Dry Pasta Tomato Sauce Hot Sauce Bread Chicken Ground Turkey Cheese ...And now that I've listed what I can think of at the moment -- I need to find some veggies that I would eat all the time.…

I think that as long as you are working out consistently and not overdoing it every weekend, it should even out over the year. However I have mixed flavored vodka with just plain water before. I didn't do it because I was counting calories -- I did it because I was at a music festival in the summer and it was HOT and we…

If you can go to a running store and ask there -- there are a couple good ones near me where the employees are trained to look at your gait and see if there's something going on to help suggest what type of running shoes are the best. I hope you don't have to buy new running shoes since they are not cheap though! Is there…

MFP calculates your calorie goal with a deficit already added to lose weight. So if you told MFP that you wanted to lose 1lb/wk -- your calorie goal would reflect the required deficit to lose 1lb/wk without working out at all. It gets a little confusing depending on what you listed as your 'activity level'. I list…

Any acidic solution will keep fruit like apples from browning - I think something like lemon juice does the best job (and I love the taste) but if you don't want your apples to have a lemony taste then you can dilute it with a bit of water. Also a good idea, if you have the time --> if you like to keep berries…

Hello!! I'm not a 'running boss' or anything, however running is my preferred form of cardio. Generally speaking -- beginning at about 20 minutes is great. If you weren't breathing hard and you weren't super sore the next day then you should be set to start running 20min 3x/week. 10% is the general rule for running. Doing…

It will depend on where you are from and what gets distributed to you... I'm not sure there are lots of 'pumpkin ales' that are short on spices --- generally it's more common to find a 'pumpkin' beer that may not actually have pumpkin in it but it has the spices. There are some pumpkin ales that are more weak on the spices…

If yesterday was the first time you went on a 3 mile walk like that (like you are just starting walking), then it could be too much too fast. A day of rest in between for the first week or two would be fine....then if you want to bump it up to every day (or two days in a row with a rest day in between) that would probably…

I had took proper 'before' pics and then deleted them. I had to go back on my Facebook profile and find a 'before' picture and my profile picture for MFP is a before/after of just my torso/face. I wish I would have kept the proper 'before' picture and someone the other day posted that people should take one (even though…

A ham/turkey sandwich on white bread with mayo. Some brie cheese and a red delicious apple with peanut butter.

Probably it could be many things. Often people confuse the feeling of thirst with hunger (ie. thinking they are hungry and eating food when they are, in fact, thirsty instead)....so when you change your eating habits and become more aware of what you feel like when you're hungry vs. thirsty it can just be you noticing more…

Bwaaahahahaha: I actually dated a person like this (sort of). He had an 'emergency backpack' full of first aid stuff and freeze dried food/MRE and like....a small bottle of vodka 'in case it all goes to Hell'. It wasn't for 'zombies' but for some type of apocalyptic event or whatever. Anyway.....we are no longer together…

I like the suggestions for C25K, however I will caution you that if you have zero running/jogging experience it can be too tough at first. Like someone else said, if you are currently able to walk (at an aerobic pace that gets your heart rate up) for 30-40 minutes straight without being dead afterwards then you could just…

There's not really a difference between 'doing too much' and it being just because your 'body isn't used to this much activity'......those are the same thing. It's your body telling you you're doing too much OR it could be some other medical related issue. I'm in with another vote of not 'pushing through' dizziness. That's…

My 2c When I first started, MFP's goal for me was 1200 calories per day and that was 300 calories below my BMR....so I went with TDEE - 20%. I just chose my level of activity as sedentary because I was logging all my workouts, and at the time I had a desk job so as long as I logged my workouts MFP added in the calories for…

As far as the recipe --- it was a while back that we brewed it but I liked it so much that's why I mentioned it. It was an extract kit (and i don't remember the brand....it was most likely from Northern Brewer). So you could mostly likely use whatever general Kolsch recipe you have/want to. 2 quarts of blackberries (fresh)…

I have not frozen Laughing Cow cheese before but I've frozen cheddar cheese before (a block of it) and it changed the texture, I couldn't slice it, it just crumbled. But the Laughing Cow cheese is much more soft so maybe it would hold up better? Since they're small you could just try one at first and see how it goes.

2nd for figure out your TDEE and BMR. Once you know your TDEE (there are like 3 or 4 different formulas...I'd do all of them and take an average of all the scores b/c they will not be exactly the same) manually set your MFP goal to 15-20% less than that, but not less than your BMR. http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ There…

It's most likely related to doing the program every day and not taking a rest day. Most running injuries/pains are attributable to either increasing speed, distance, or amount of runs too soon. Once you finish C25K, or at least get to the part where you are running the vast majority of the 1/2 workout, then you can run…

MFP suggested 1200 calories for me too when I started and I started at 175 (I'm an inch shorter than you) and my goal was 1lb/wk. I actually found that I had some trouble sometimes even eating that many calories and I'd be around 900-1000. I didn't feel energized and wasn't losing weight consistently. I manually raised my…

Yes, set your activity level as 'sedentary'. Even if you know you'll going to workout multiple days a week I'd set it at sedentary. If you incorporate your workouts into your 'activity level' then you shouldn't log them really....they're counting double that way really. So, for me at least, it makes more sense to set the…

What everyone else has said is true -- 3 miles was too much for your first time every running. C25K is a great program and is based on alternating running/walking. Many 'beginner running' programs use this method. It will help to build up your muscles and avoid injury. Someone else already mentioned that if you are going…

You could get up earlier to stop at a gym before work or stop at the gym after work, even though you're tired...once you start working out, most likely you'll have more energy. You can also look into what kinds of activities you can do on your breaks (do you get two 15 minute breaks through the day, and a lunch break?). I…

Best: Smile (apparently MFP ppl are the world's best SMILERS) Worst: I guess.....your blouse if too 'girly' for my taste. But you look great!

You are right and I'm happy that someone with a similar issue to the OP was able to comment on this post! I'll clarify a bit and explain that I don't mean for you to avoid regular physical workouts all together I just thought it'd be good to get your bearings a bit. If you were to have anxiety symptoms during a more…

It really depends on what foods you like but I would often keep this stuff around for snacks: Raw sliced bell peppers to eat by themselves or with hummus Sliced apples to eat by themselves or with PB Fage yogurt (their are different flavors for the different fat %s....I used to get the blueberry/peach ones). The flavored…
