Really O.o? I literally just learned that your body puts ATP into temporary reserves and after about eight hours or so if it is not used up it is deposited as fat for long-term storage.. therefore if you eat sleep directly after it (even though sleeping and just existing does burn calories) you'd have a surplus of ATP…

I can't really say I have many 'full meals' under 300.. The only thing I could say is sometimes I'll have a russett potato (around 110 calories) and a serving of Ready Pac Grand Parisian salad (140, filling and delicious!) Chicken strips (John Soules Foods - Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Strips Grilled, 3 oz = 110) with…

Just because you log into MFP doesn't mean you'll lose weight. It's not a magic trick where you trade the site information and it takes the weight off you.. HOWEVER It does seem to help in the sense that it shows you what you're doing wrong. It plainly lists out information so you (and/or your trainer/doctor/really healthy…

The problem with the human body is that it's not really a cookie cutter thing. What works for some doesn't work for others, and as such some advice may not apply to you at all! I'd suggest testing out different methods, shake up your routine, and then see what sticks. Maybe try something strange like eating a smidgeon more…

If I were you, I would. I would also not beat myself up too much about that week, give yourself a stress-free week to heal properly :3! I hope you feel better soon!

Once in a while I cheat and give myself a treat, I mean.. this is my life. I don't want to constantly worry about diets, I do want to focus on eating healthy but what's the point if I'm making myself unhappy. Just keep in mind, everything should be in moderation. Small portions, balance it out the other times of the month…

I've never been a big dessert person, luckily enough, so that shouldn't be a big problem. Does anyone know if they have a nutritional information packet somewhere? That way I can see what I'm getting into ahead of time and avoid the hold up when I sit down to eat? I know they have the menus, but the information there is…

Cravings? No idea. Retaining water? I've heard (and I could be entirely wrong about this) that people make the mistake of not drinking enough when they're retaining water because they're afraid they'll hold that too, when in truth the more you drink the more salt is cleared out of your system and the less you retain.

I know this sounds stupid.. but I sell women's shoes and I swear I get this complaint all the time.. they want to wear high heels because it's slimming and makes their legs look nice, but they don't want to be taller than the guy! I think it's a subconscious thing of trying to look passive and submissive because back in…

Something that surprised me was couscous. It's ridiculously easy to make, and a decent side dish. All you do is boil some water (read the side of the box/package/whatever as to how much water to coucous) then when the water boils (or bubbles fairly violently) take it off the heat source, pour in the couscous, and let it…

I've heard that before as well. To do less exercise? What exactly is the reasoning behind it? I mean logically you'd think the more you do the more you lose. I'm not trying to say you're wrong, not in the least. Just that I'm actually very interested and would like to know more. The internet makes curiosity sound like…

That's exactly it! I can definitely "pinch more than an inch" on all sides, but my scale weight looks fine on paper. I'm just a little softer than I would have liked. So far I do anywhere between 30-60 minutes of cardio a day (unfortunately, I can't do anything more than speed walk without murdering my knees). I've been…

Unfortunately it seems so :c! Like I said, I'm at a good weight, but I've got a tummy and love handles that just don't want to go away. I'm probably only light because it's all fat, I've got little to no muscle mass. I can barely do a bicep curl with 10 pound dumbbells.
