Some thoughts on today's menu: Spreading out your foods across the day and eating only 100 or 200 calories at the time may not be for you. 140 calories at 8 am did not fill you up, so you stayed hungry. 62 calories at 11 did nothing to fill up your already hungry stomach. By the time lunch rolled around you were probably…

In all seriousness, stop looking for some magical emotional incentive, and just take yourself to the gym. How did your parents "make" you go to the gym? Because unless they tied you up and literally carried you there, then you had to have some measure of consent. Whatever they did to "make" you go, do that to yourself. Be…

10 large eggs divided by 6 servings is 116 calories. There are very few calories in those vegetables you mention. So unless there are other ingredients, there is some kind of problem with the recipe as its entered into MFP. Check each of the ingredients to make sure that its correct. If you're using the automatic matching…

Water retention. Also, you're quite slim as it is and you're not going to see much of a weight loss each week. Also, 1200 calories is an insanely small amount of a calories for a young man of your age and size who is physically active. Please consider focusing on the quality of your nutrition and of your workouts instead…

The awesomeness of this post is so great that I have to be grateful to the anti-science posters who have helped keep it alive so I can see it. If you're that worried about the welfare of the bees, maybe stop stealing their food.

what is your favorite salad dressing? whatever it is, get some and put it on the broccoli slaw. I personally like a sesame ginger on that. you could also use it in any sort of stir-fry recipe or add it to some fajita vegetables.

Shots ftw.

Sounds delicious! That's pretty much all the benefit I could ask for from it.

I got an extra-large microfiber towel of the sort used for hiking. The old one was most of the weight of my bag, and the new one is super-absorbent.

There's some evidence that it can work long term without killing you. Aside from all the people on this board that do it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_diet Note that while the Inuit diet is higher in carbohydrates than originally thought, due to the presence of glycogen in their fresh meat, its generally much lower…

So, basically, you're considerate of others AND entirely self-confident? Are you sure you're in the right place? :P

What you can do is to copy the ingredients from the saved recipe page and paste them into the box where you put ingredients to import a recipe (under the "add recipe manually" link). Its not quite as good as being able to make a duplicate, but it can save a little time if all of your ingredients are "found" by the recipe…

You don't need to drink protein shakes at all if you get enough protein in your general diet. But if you choose to get some protein from shakes, then I would say the best one is the one that you like the taste of and will drink, since the stuff is very expensive and it would be a shame to waste it. If possible, try to get…

Can you add more meat, eggs and/or dairy to your diet?

The only person who should put a 10 year old on a diet is her doctor, and then only if her weight is a health risk. This is not going to help her learn to have a good relationship with food or exercise or with her own body. I strongly suggest that you reconsider this approach, and instead engage her in learning about…

What is it that you want to accomplish?

I'd say is a good start that you can identify these thoughts and fears as irrational. Try to keep yourself focused on the rational fact that .5 to 2 pounds per week is exactly the loss that you're looking for. No more than that. Sort through the many threads here that deal with water weight gain - especially those cyclical…

You must be quite busy with that.

Kudos to you for trying something new :)

Those kits are mainly a mixture of chopped kale and cabbage (both very low calorie foods). I'd assume equal parts of each, and just log as those ingredients. Whether you measure in cups or grams or even estimate, its not going to much difference at all in the calories.

There are no genetically modified avocados on the market. However, if it *was genetically modified, you can bet your boots it would taste better than other avocados before it was released to the market - unless there was another compelling reason to spend all the money on R&D. Growing conditions in general affect ALL…

Don't all Retro Fitness locations have that? I used to go there. It was usually a very painless way to get cardio done :)

I don't speak Dutch, but welcome and good luck!

Is this a joke? I really can't tell if you're trying to mess with the OP or if you're serious. Just in case anyone is taking it seriously, I wanted to make it clear that you cannot gain weight from lack of protein. You can lose muscle mass and not feel well in a number of ways, but you can't gain weight. You can't gain…

A chicken's a chicken the world around.

I would make it myself so that I could add more chicken and less salt, and I'm pretty sure I'd have left over ingredients to use for something else. Unless I just bought it on impulse cuz it was on sale and I wanted it. Then I'd just eat it up and enjoy it.

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

My BF has one and its numbers align fairly well with the standard TDEE math that you can do with any online calculator. He doesn't exercise that often but when he does the calorie burn also seems very similar to other online calculators.

Interesting. I had done this before, and it didn't cause a change. But I just tried it again, and it did. So I guess you're right :)
