your macros doesn't make such difference, as long as you're in a calorie deficit, the rest is preference. being vegan also doesn't make a difference regarding protein, fat and carbs. Try the recommended values that MFP gives you for a while,if you like it, stick with it, if you don't adjust it your own preferences, likes,…

another vote for C25k, in case you can't find it (it's a british thing and I'm guessing you're american), here's the general guideline

unless your a student, and your gym dob't open til 8, but you still gotta hit those 9 AMs

ayy, thanks to all your replies, that's a handy little thing to know, I'm actually shocked I've never found that before,I've been on this site for years /)_-

where is this tool? I didn't realise free members could do that? Or do you have the paid membership?

Her Bright Skies - Bonnie and Clyde (The Revolution) Flyleaf - Cassie Motion City Soundtrack - Disappear Billy Talent - Surrender Marianas Trench - Say Anything The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Don't Hate Between the Trees - Scarecrow (sorry, I know it's not just one song, but when all of your music is stuff not well known,…

it wouldn't hurt to do a google search for student recipes, you might not be a student, but recipes aimed at them tend to be basic, quick, simple and cheap. For example studentrecipes.com. I also love bbcgoodfood.com

i'm the annoying supplements person, caffeine, creatine, bcaa, l glutamine, cla, all chugged down in bright blue or orange liquid format. Then a small gulp of fruit juice just for the initial buzz and to warm up quicker, then plug myself into some heavy rock and get on it

I've been low sugar for years now, my body is quite used to it, however if you go from quite a sugary diet to a restricted one, you're likely to have headaches, dizziness, and other nasty problems for a couple days while your body gets used to running off other nutrition sources instead of quick access sugars. You'll…

is your protein still at 15%, the amount MFP automatically sets to? a lot of people move this up so it's perfectly fine to eat more, personally I set mine to 30-40% protein, just do what you prefer

are you going to cut out all sugars or just added sugars? because at the minute I stick to under 10g of added sugars a day, but do eat fruit and veg with natural sugars in, so would be interested in keeping up with this challenge

I've not read all replies on this thread, just skimmed, but just wondering where you live as 6'3 is quite a good height for men in England, it's really not considered huge. My whole family is quite tall, my stepdad and stepbrothers all stand between 6'9 and 6'11 and very few people bat an eye, yes they're taller than most,…

salsa! That;s one of the only dips I like, and it's pretty good nutritional wise. And one of my favorite salads is to do loads of leafy greens, chicken, dollop some salsa on, and then add some croutons (I normally just crumble up some dark rye ryvita as a healthier alternative to fried croutons)

also depends if you're just having one drink at home, say in the evening or with dinner, or if you're going out/having multiple drinks, if it's just the one, drink whatever you like

personally, i stick to vodka, higher alcohol volume means I can have like, 3 drinks to get a pleasant buzz (195 cal), vs nearly double that in beer to get the same effect (about 500 cal). So pretty simple to work out how this is better diet wise. Plus, saves money. And, if taste is what you're after, just mix it with loads…

it's actually extremely bad practice (and I think illegal, though it might be a grey area of the law) for someone who is not qualified in nutrition to be giving out nutritional advice from a professional front (i.e. being paid for it, selling their opinion as concrete professional advice). If you feel like you need…

the English Tea Shop advent calendar is one of my favourite Christmas-y purchases, you get a different festive tea every day, and they're all delicious. Think silent night, candy cane, gingerbread, just to name a few. If you're looking to experiment with new and different flavours, I would recommend it

as everyone else has said, hard soled flat shoes are the best, you can splash out loads of money on chucks and reeboks and other branded shoes, but if you're on a serious budget (yep, i'm a student) then plimsolls and non-branded converse trainers work brilliantly :')

I got mine done for my 14th birthday, it's my second favourite, no regrets here (I have quite a few piercings). From another perspective, I'm at university, and about 60% of the girls here have it done, and they come in all shapes and sizes, tall, small, chubby, thin, athletic....no one's ever batted an eye or made…

depends on the person, some people feel better with high carbs, some people prefer focusing more on protein or fat, just have a play with it and see what you and your body prefers, as long as your sensible with your calories, experimenting with macros won't have any damage to your weight loss/maintenance. make it suitable…

personally, i would ask the trainer's qualifications first, make sure he's actually trained in the plans he's giving you and isn't just spewing out bro-science. A lot of good fitness coaches and personal trainers I know will refuse to help on anything they're not qualified on as it's a risk to the client and their…

goon the 'frequent' tab instead of the 'recent' tab so only foods that you eat regularly come up, that might be more suited to your needs

I normally go to the gym with one of my flatmates, we walk there together, share a locker, walk back together etc, but while actually at the gym we completely ignore each other and do our own thing. Our goals/routines etc are completely different, and it just wouldn't work out if we were joined at the hip. But I also go…

YES! once you get over the odd looks, you notice the one's who appreciate that you know what you're doing and you feel ever so slightly invincible :') plus my quads and hamstrings appreciate the switch up

i use it to warm up and cool down, i do 0.5 km forwards, 0.5 km backwards, then the same again to cool down. Going forwards and backwards uses different major muscle groups. It's also pretty good for doing HIIT training. Calories depends on how fast your going, what effort level it's on etc., but usually it burns about the…

as i am a healthy weight for my age and height, i use my current weight, if you're overweight, use your goal weight (but no less than about 20lbs below your current weight)

yeah, I do this as my net value, not my total intake. I use this method to either maintain or lose, I change my macros percentages depending on what i'm aiming for. also, rememeber i'm female, if I were male, i'd times my weight by about 12-14

just stumbled across this thread in my feed, it's so nice seeing women be proud of being strong, and great to see all the support :)

I eat my body weight (in lbs) x10, so if I weigh 130lbs, i'll eat 1300 cals, if I weigh 120lbs, i'll eat 1200 cals, this has been the best method for me. A lot of fitness people take a similar approach to this

I like different items from different brands. i like Linda McCartney sausages and burgers, and quorn meatless chicken pieces (but not their breaded chicken range, personally I don't like it), quorn mince is pretty good, though it turns a bit rubbery if you plan to bulk make meals and reheat it. Tofu is pretty good if…
