This. Or. My kids would eat nothing but sugar if I let them, so I do a couple of different things--I stock tons of snacks in the house that are healthy: Laughing Cow cheese wedges (or the store brand,) pretzel chips, almonds, fresh fruit, baby carrots, edamame, etc. and they know that is their options. Also, if they beg…

Dude, I'm a 5'3" woman any my TDEE-20% is about 1700 cals a day, so you could definitely eat 2100.

There are a couple of good threads on here…

MFP is supposed to be about everyone being supportive of everyone's journey, while their big wheel keeps on turning. We should all come together with open arms while the lights go down in the city. MFP isn't just about only the young...even after all these years, so we need to be friends with each other, faithfully. I get…

Great question--I think there's a pretty detailed breakdown in the "Rules" thread in the group, but I'll give you the quick and dirty version here...
