I try to get between 1800 - 2000 calories, and don't really worry about eating back my exercise calories. Most of the time I have to try to hit at least 1800 calories as it is! It's good to have the extra calories if you need them, though.

The dietary cholestoral's harmful effects are slowly being debunked over and over. Unless you have a problem with the cholestoral itself.....EAT MORE EGGS! They're awesome and can be prepared so many ways! It's one of the most nutrient dense foods you can find, too!

A boring trick that I use is to drink two big glasses of water before and or after your last meal of the day.

If you have no information from which to base your numbers, you do have to guess. I like picking popular restaurant equivalents, as they tend to be overloaded with calories compared to home cooked meals (Applebee's has a chicken quesadilla app that's 1300 calories (for the whole "plate"). At work I can get them from our…

Food addiction is the worst, because unlike any other thing you can be addicted to, you HAVE to eat food just to live. It can be a very difficult line to walk.

It's a quote from a TV show.

I laser. It's like a turtle shell down there.

Spanx.

I have a spare bedroom where I have a Bowflex and a recumbent bike.

I'm in the same boat. I require about 1800 net calories. After exercise and all calories consumed in a day, I've been coming in around 15-1600 calories. Normally, I don't feel hungrier than normal, so I figure all is well thus far.

I'm a fan of the Clif Builder Bars. 20g protein, 270 calories, low-glycemic (not that matters for me), and keep me full from about 8am until noon or 1pm. When I'm running late for work, I normally wait until I get in the office and eat one with some ice water. They also come out to just over a dollar per when buying by the…

Je ne suis pa francais, mais J'etudie la francais depuit huit mois maintenant.

Maybe it's fatigue. I've changed form from a more narrow stance to a wider stance with my toes pointed out as you said, but it seems to happen both ways.

No.

Pepperoni balls? That right there is a pepperoni roll. I live in WV, where these things were essentially invented.

I don't, either. I thought Macros were Protein, Carbs, and Fat? These, and calories obviously, are the only things I track. Actually, I DO track Fiber, too, as I want to make sure I'm getting enough (I actually take fiber supplements, haha)

I grill chicken for lunch/dinner at work roughly 4 times a week. Most of the breasts I buy are frozen, and each on is about 8 oz. I normally butterfly the breast and then throw it on the grill (this is after thawing it with cold running water for a few minutes). They always come out amazing! It doesn't take long to cook a…

I've always done my cardio before lifting, and I seem to get through my reps and such just fine. I either do two mile runs or 20 minutes on a recumbent bike (very fast, high resistance setting). I've always thought of this as a warm up, so I don't really do a ton of cardio when I lift. When I tried to do cardio AFTER…

Thanksgiving is my "go all out" time of year. I just work out extra to make up for it. I love turkey, mashed 'tatoes, ham, stuffing, veggies, everything.

I am pretty much like this. I don't eat an Oreo cookie, I eat a whole bag of them. I don't eat a doughnut, I eat a dozen. This is why I completely cut out "sweets" from my diet (not fruit, however). It was 2.5 years without having any type of refined sugar sweets at all. Then I took a family trip to Disney World about a…

Liposuction Just Sayin'.

I think the MFP count is supposed to track added sugar, but it lumps it all together, whether it be from a cupcake or an apple.

There are probably some close approximations in the database. Find one that best fits what you ate or are going to eat, then be as honest as possible about portion size, servings, etc. It's not 100% accurate, but it's damn better than nothing.

Probably for less money, ta boot! A damn egg mcmuffin is almost three bucks!

Just seems to be an interesting flavor combo.

Banana AND Coffee? Interesting.

Veganaise? What sorcery is this?

Also excellent. (I assume you meant tomato?) I just plan on using it as a high protein, relatively low calorie snack if I get hungry or for a light lunch.

Excellent.

I know it sounds gross, but I've heard of others doing it and it not really altering the flavor of the shake, so I figured I'd ask.
