  • I'm a student but we regularly have 6 of us cooking together on a regular basis. For spaghetti you can just throw all of the veggies into the tomato sauce so no salad has to be involved. Also if you like lentils or beans they can be used as a much cheaper and low calorie alternative to meat. Basil, garlic and thyme can…

  • Hello from another newbie. I have to do sensible things like buying bathroom scales but I think my main goal this month is to try to go the gym at least once a week (it doesn't sound like much but this is a new thing and new places are horribly intimidating, so until I'm more used to the atmosphere I think I'll start…

  • Thanks for rebumping this. Apparently my calorie deficit is probably too high (mfp set it to 500 a day when my BMI is 26.5). This is going to be interesting, most days I have enough trouble eating enough as it is. When I joined I really didn't think I'd be struggling to eat enough. *rolls eyes*

  • I find just being on here helps. I make myself log everything. Generally my main method of avoiding the chocolate binges seems to be trying to displace my craving for that towards fruit or tea (normally tea... tea solves everything). Also just going on the internet and bothering my friends for hugs over msn after a bad day…

  • Thanks for this. It's totally kicked me back into only eating free range, organic meat rather than going along with what my housemates want to do. Still not going to be vegetarian, although tbh I eat like one most days anyway.

  • One of my friends mentioned this recipe for making ice cream using just bananas. I've not tried it yet as I don't have a blender, but apparently it works rather well. http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/tips-techniques/stepbystep-instructions-for-oneingredient-ice-cream-097170

  • How do you manage that? My protein levels are always too low. Not really sure how to increase them without drastically changing the way I eat.
