Your breakfast should be the largest meal of the day so if 100 calories is your largest then you have an eating problem. You should be asking for something under 300 calories.

You really don't need 120g a day in the first place, so maybe that could be your problem. Too much protein can be a bad thing, and most people are unaware of that. I'm vegan and I eat nuts, beans, tofu, boca burgers, oats, peas, brown rice, and on occasion I'll drink a protein shake or eat a bar if I feel like I need more.…

I'm vegan and I was vegetarian for about six months before converting to being vegan. I get most of my protein from peas (they are also high in omega 3), brown rice, tofu (adding soft tofu to smoothies makes them creamier and adds more protein), beans, oats, nut butters, and nuts. Broccoli, spinach, and kale are really…

I was incredibly uncomfortable the first few days I started going to the gym but not because I was the only girl, but because I was surrounded by very fit women who could lift and do more than me. I was intimidated but now I'm over it. Men don't worry me as much though for some reason, maybe because I don't feel like I…

YOU ARE FABULOUS!!! Thank you for clearing up the rumors that heavy lifting is bad for women. Women can do anything they want, we are strong and amazing creatures! Your progress is fantastic. :)

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are 300 or less and my snacks are 250 or less. My protein shake doesn't count as a snack though, and that's around 150 calories.

@Tunia85 Rapunzel because you have lovely hair!

Thank you! I'll be sure to do that. :)

If you want to insult my looks to make yourself feel better that's perfectly fine. Note that I wasn't saying anyone was ugly, I meant my standards of personality. Threads like these that judge someone on looks are a waste of time, especially on a site that is targeted to help raise someone's self-esteem. I know many people…

Reject all of you because I have much higher standards.

Sounds like you need better friends. I'm thin and I've never called one of my friends fat or told them to lose weight. That's pretty messed up and no one deserves to have people like that in their life.

Chicken is meat too.

THANK YOU. I'm so tired of people thinking it's perfectly normal for vegans and vegetarians to eat meat on occasion. My mother always tells me "oh just have one bite of this burger it's not going to hurt you." Maybe not, but it is going to make me feel like I just killed an animal and that would make me feel like a…

I'd be pissed if someone had the money to spend that much on a meal and couldn't tip me. The only time I would consider not tipping is if the server didn't do a good job, but even then I would leave something just because it's the nice thing to do.

BUMP. This looks so good.

That's too bad.

You can add me if you'd like. I went though a similar situation you're in last year, it was hard to overcome but now I'm healthier than ever! :)

You look great! Good job. :)

I'm not going to be rude to anyone, even if they are rude to me. What's funny to me is that many people joined this site to help rid their insecurities, yet they make fun of others who may be self-conscious too. I know a lot of people want nothing but help and support from fellow MFP members, and it's a shame they can't…

Thank you. :)

I'm not offended by your comments, but there are people on this site who could be. There are so many insecure people on this website and some of the things you post may trigger them. It's funny to me that most of you are over half my age yet you're acting like children. Maybe this post is ironic, but in no way did I intend…

Most of the thin people I know eat like crap, they're just blessed with fast metabolisms. My advice? Eat small healthy meals every two hours to keep your metabolism going, and always eat until you're satisfied. Make sure your largest meal is the one at breakfast too, and eat the most carbs at that time because they'll give…

That's phenomenal that only a month made such a huge difference. I wish you nothing but the best for the rest of your weight-loss journey. :)

I think it is since you usually only add water to soup if needed. If eating tomato soup and you use milk instead of water it probably has more calories. So if you don't drink the broth you're probably consuming less calories.

I completely agree! :)

That looks like mold.

I just recently became vegetarian so meat is completely out of the question. I get a pretty good amount of protein from oatmeal and bread which is why I usually have it for breakfast.

Interesting! I will admit that I've been eating too many carbs lately and I have been feeling a little bit lazy, but when I don't eat carbs for breakfast, before exercise, and after exercise I get really weak and tired. Those are the only times during the day when I like to eat bread or pasta. Today I kind of went…

I think it's interesting how some people strive off low-carb and others fail. I only allow myself whole wheat pasta and brown rice every once in a while (though I had spaghetti two days in a row this week), and I eat at least one piece of whole wheat bread a day. Most of my carbs are from fruit though. :)

I usually eat about 185 - 220 carbs a day depending on whether I exercised or not. I understand that eating too many carbs can be bad, but I also think eating less than you should can also affect your health.
