Everyone is different. personally, I don't think I can eat too much protein. I never care if I'm over for protein, or fiber, or even fat since it's usually good fat (avocado, salmon, nuts). I worry more when I see too many overall calories, and especially sugar. But it's nice to be able to keep track so if you see a trend…

happens to me too. It's a real thing. I googled it a few years back and don't remember all the scientific details, but basically, when you are exerting your muscles (so, haven't used them in a while, are too cold, stiff, etc), your muscles can't keep up with the extra bloodflow and your brain thinks the surrounding skin is…

Make your own! Get a big can of crushed tomatoes, add basil, garlic, salt and pepper - anything else that sound yummy.

I'm always over or under at the end of the day. It would be impossible to hit every goal every day without some sort of super crazy routine of measured meals. Probably a good idea to take note of where you are each day and change a habit or two if it's way off, but so many things can throw it off. Today, I ate a big bowl…

First, yes, you can adjust your calories - by either changing your weight loss goal to a smaller amount per week or going into the "goals" tab at the top and choosing "set manually". I'm not a nutritionist, but if you've never dieted, I would set your calories to something higher for a week or two and gradually lower.…

I have been through years of fighting with antidepressants and continued weight gain. Every doctor says they shouldn't cause the gain, and maybe they don't actually cause weight gain, but for me, they make me ridiculously tired which in turn means I don't work out and I eat because I need energy and think it will help.…

I learned many years ago from a smart friend that it's just best to be honest when dieting. A simple "I'd love to come but please don't be offended at my picky eating habits. I have seen great progress on my diet and I'm not ready to cheat quite yet." How could anyone be offended? Even ask if you can bring a healthy dish…

I KNOW I should only weigh myself once a week but what if that once a week is the day that I am "up" 3 pounds? I like to weigh myself every morning. I get annoyed when I'm up, but I remind myself that last week I was fluctuating between 174 and 172, this week, 173 and 171. That's down a pound any way you look at it. It…

I thought I could never do it as well. But if you just cut out the drinks for two weeks, and see a difference, it makes it so much easier to refrain (but have one you really want it after the two weeks!). I did the same with sugar as well. Now, a few chocolate chips is such a delicious treat. And you can stick to anything…

El Pollo Loco has really tasty mashed potatoes that are really not too bad for you. And it's a small, contained serving. Probably not even real potatoes, but the kick the craving for me! But like others have said, making a better choice is probably going to make you feel better than eating the mashed potatoes. Something I…
