Oatmeal, steel-cut oats, oat waffles - in other words, oats :) - I stir in protein powder Corn flakes (not the sugary sweet type) Other cereals with no wheat Cooked rice with almond milk, cinnamon, raisins, nutmeg (google "vegan rice pudding" to avoid the eggs) Non-wheat waffles Potato pancakes, hashbrowns, home fries (I…

As with so many other posters, there is so much misinformation and myth in your post it is difficult to know where to start. You have either been led on by your "medical consultants" who are clearly not MD's or nutritionists, or you have been reading too many crap websites, or both. Your relationship with food sounds as…

Well from what I've read, if we skip all the drama, there's a consensus forming: 1) You're not eating enough. 2) We don't know what you're eating so we can't help there without more info, but your nutritional profile is really important 3) You need to cut back on cardio 4) You need to be focusing on strength training…

1800 total a day? You're not eating nearly enough. At 18, 5'10 and 161, with 1 hours of cardio a day and weights 4 times a week I'm guesstimating you closer to 2500 to 2800/day and you'll still be eating at a significant deficit. Others with more experience should probably chime in here. Note I said 1 hour of cardio a day.…

You're coming back to take your next shot. You're not responding to any of the meaningful questions being asked to try to help you. Why? - age - diary - exercise routine

And, ^^this...

If you are serious about wanting help, let me suggest the following: 1) Stop insulting people 2) Open your diary so we can see what you're eating and have a look at your macros, how consistently you're eating, etc. 3) Explain your exercise regimen. You talk alot about cardio but it may be that you need to be lifting,…

Pasta, whole grains (rice, quinoa, bulgar (like in tabbouleh), kashi, wheat berries, corn, wheat bran), cereals (preferably whole grain again), potatoes (golden, idaho, sweet, red), jicama (cook it), beans (pinto, red, black, white), lentils, peas...

Understood, and I edited my post to try to make it clearer.

I completely agree with your final full paragraph. Otherwise - 1) I have mentored junior male colleagues; at least as many as women, because I came up in an engineering and engineering management culture and males constituted 95% of the workforce. It is only in recent years I have even had the opportunity to mentor…

I plugged in your stats (fitnessfrog.com) and your BMR is 1450...at 1200 you will be too low...if you want to lose 5-10 pounds by Christmas, you're talking about 1/2 pound to 1 pound/wk...the latter of which is aggressive... Your TDEE is ~1783 if I use a really conservative activity level - it's probably higher - why don't…

A favorite from lunchbox.com a couple of years ago: Ginger Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup vegan, makes about 6 cups 1 cup canned organic pumpkin (or use fresh roasted if you have on hand) 4 cups butternut squash cubes 1 Tbsp ginger powder 1/3 cup grade B maple syrup 2 Tbsp vegan buttery spread (add more for a richer, more…

Just the basics - canned pumpkin's fine but the homemade puree beats it by a mile, so here's how to do it - it then takes the place of the canned stuff in all recipes. When shopping for pumpkins to cook with, skip the flavorless jack-o'-lantern pumpkins and instead look sugar, 'cheese,' or any heirloom varieties. Halve the…

Try to be patient and realize it's not all about the scale. It can take weeks for your body to get used to new ways of eating and exercising and begin to burn the extra pounds. Also one pound is "noise" - doesn't mean anything. As a 40 year old female you can fluctuate that much (or more) in a day based on fluid balance.…

Yes. Keep in mind we can't give you more specific advice without info about age, current weight, height...recommend you go calculate your BMR and TDEE - there are plenty of calculators out there - (I use fitnessfrog.com as a "quickie") - you should eat above your BMR and under your TDEE. TDEE minus 10% or 15% if agressive…

I read this on the original thread and the OP is a brave and helpful person. I know this won't matter because it never does...but targets are dependent on a whole lotta factors - age, gender, weight, height, activity level....I'm 56, am trying to lose 25 pounds or so, and am 5'1" with a really petite build. My BMR is…

Great suggestions. Rotate muscle groups, make sure you've got enough protein, DRINK WATER (flushes your system), do stretches before you lift and later in the day after you lift, take a walk to warm up. BTW, 2nd day after is always the worst one for me.

Go with the 288. Probably had an faulty/erroneous connection the first time. Sensors aren't perfect, placement isn't perfect, environmental conditions can affect a single measurement,etc. That's why a single measure doesn't mean much; need multiple repetitions over time to see what's going on. The important thing is you're…
