"For example if I ate 1,200 calories of chocolate would I loose weight a lot lower than if I ate 1,200 calories of something healthy like fruit and vegetables? I mostly eat healthily but have had a few weeks of eating not so healthy things (still within my calorie allowance) and wanted to know what kind of effects this…

half cup porridge oats,5g chia seeds,2 cups water.after cooking add 125g low fat cottage cheese= 330 cal, 34g carb,9g fat,25g protein,9g fibre

there are 'good' carbs and 'bad' carbs from point of view of dieting/insulin issues-low gi carbs avoid spikes and crashes in blood sugar which avoids follow on insulin response to regulate. manufactured fructose,a high gi carb common in most processed foods,actually increases blood ghrelin,the hormone that makes you feel…

personally,i use mfp when want to lose max 14 lbs and prefer to lose as quick as possible-ie all over in at most 7 weeks.(say after holiday trip/xmas/new year break,etc when for a few weeks just really enjoy eating!). then back to usual maintenance diet. it is important though to exercise to keep metabolism burning that…

i alternate running and rowing(on water) through the week,but also have a knee which lets me know when it's had enough!current age 56. interesting stat re knee arthritis is 98% sufferers are in obese wt range-and just 10% wt loss is more effective pain relief than any medication. have a concept 2 at home which tends to be…

as others have said,if it's not in the house,removes temptation. also drinking a pint of water is great,you wont want to but worth the effort. have to remember body takes 20 mins to feel full after eating/drinking. looking at most food diaries,they mostly consist of energy dense highly refined foods. this kind of diet will…

in dry wine all the cals are alcohol.1g alcohol=7cal. so you need to find dry,low alcohol wine

looked at your food diary,you are well over target every day last week,some days your total is over 3000 cal. also,you jog at 10 miles/hr?that is a fast run...i could not run 20 mins at that speed and i am very fit. do you think you may be overestimating cals burned?

try chia seed- 10g of seed contains 4g fat,in form of omega3/6. also 4g fibre,2g protein

looking at your diary you have surplus cals every day even though you are drinking wine. you need more proptein though-so drink protein shakes as well.got to be strict with macros if alcohol in diet. i drink a few glasses every evening and easily loose 2lbs/week without feeling hungry.

cardio will not cause muscle loss. try this website,it will really help you- scoobysworkshop.com good luck.

[You could eat a lot of cheeseburger calories before you felt full...as opposed to a healthy meal of lean protein, fresh veg, and whole grains that fills you up quickly - not b/c of the bulk, but the quality of the calories your body was able to process and uptake. ] this is simply wrong,you feel full when your brain…

you really shouldn't ask for medical advise on a message board like this. you only have one body,get professional advise.

the point of HIIT is that your hr stays above 60% max in the 'easy' phase. so 2 minutes easy might drop below that. most HIIT is 30 secs max effort,then 45-60 sec easy. repeat for 20 mins . 10 min warm up/cool down at medium pace.

eggwhite with salsa is a favourite. tip-put salsa in nonstick pan and reduce before adding egg,otherwise ends up very watery.

doesnt matter,just make sure you use same to work out calories from database

foods which absorb a lot of water should be weighed after cooking- eg 100g uncooked rice weighs 300g cooked.its about 120 cal/100g cooked,if you used dry weight 100g=360 cal the nutritional label on the food states if it uses cooked weight.

What is HIIT? it is doing an exercise at 100% heart rate -you should be barely able to do another second after about 30 secs. this means the sprint is both aerobic and anaerobic. you then work lightly for 30-60 secs. repeat for 20-30 mins a crucial part of HIIT is that in the light phase your heart rate doesnt drop below…
