Not sure if you mean just for you or for your children too? Smoothies are so fast to make at home - two servings frozen mixed berries, whey powder and/ or cottage cheese and/ or soft cheese, a banana or avocado, some canned pumpkin or frozen spinach, liquid as needed, maybe a little sweetener. Measure and defrost the…

Can you get canned oily fish sent out, a wider range of seeds and nuts, dairy products? That sounds low in both healthy fats, minerals and probably vitamins - a healthy diet is not largely white meat and a little, that's a restrictive imbalanced diet. Neither whites (your diary says one yolk not two) nor chicken breast…

Research suggests those who eat breakfast eat fewer calories overall and make healthier choices when they do eat. Hunger is a sign you have failed to give the body the nutrients it needs not an early warning system for mealtimes. You don't need to be hungry to eat and you can retrain your body to accept food earlier, even…

Any supplement regime should be tailored to the individuals diet, health issues, goals and so on, nutrition and dietetics are sciences taught at degree level ad beyond, they are not something just any unqualified person on a forum can do. To be clear it's not that I don't believe in clever use of supplements quite the…

It really isn't that different to a regular nutrient dense diet: nine servings of bright and dark fruit and veg in the full rainbow of colours, oily fish regularly ideally daily, three servings of dairy a day or a fortified supplement, plenty of fibre and mineral rich foods (beans, lentils, nuts, seeds). Antioxidants and…

You've answered your own question, there are also numerous helpful threads on this topic if you run a search. It's not simply overeating that gets you overweight, it's overeating (including underestimating) and/ or being underactive (lifestyle activity not just formal exercise) and/ or eating the wrong foods and/ or yoyo…

Buy enough food and other supplies for two weeks, fill your car to the top with gas, freeze your cards in a block of ice until you NEED it. Get rid of all take out leaflets and phone numbers, drive or walk different routes so you don't go past your favourite places. Carry healthy satisfying food with you wherever you go -…

Why do people not want to believe in lifestyle medicine? Dietetics, nutrition and exercise science are legitimate scientific disciplines backed by reams of published research. Just drinking more water might help or it might worsen any mineral/ electrolyte imbalances. There is no quick fix for most it's consistent healthy…

If you don't like hardboiled eggs eat scrambled eggs, steam fried eggs, poached, frittata, huevos rancheros or omelettes. There is a Lion Eggs recipes app if you have a smartphone which is actually really good. If you don't like eggs any way that much don't bother, there are plenty of as or more nutritious protein sources…

???? Rainbow trout and eggs taste so good (not together). It's the short chain omega-3s that are mank, ground flaxseeds are an efficient way to ruin all kinds of breakfast foods.

It's worth running a search, there have been several similar threads from students in the last few weeks.

The more food groups you eliminate the more likely you are to have to eat the same foods every day, however plant foods can be pretty forgiving and taste completely different with clever use of herbs, spices and other flavourings. Consider eating more seeds for both protein and calories, whilst researching nutrition on…

Cut your carbs (lose any foods containing white refined grains or sugars) a little to make way for more fat. IMO it's not healthy to have a goal as low as 23g and calories as low as 1400 whilst exercising and breastfeeding. What has your doctor recommended in terms of nutrient splits and overall calories? Have you set MFP…

Please see a registered dietician unless nutritionist is a protected title in your country and so the person you hope to see has at least an honours degree in nutrition, dietetics or a closely related medical discipline - it is not in some countries so the qualifications and quality of service is highly variable.

Get your thyroid checked again and maybe look at being kind to your body for a while; C-reactive protein, stress and inflammation are all strongly interlinked. By stress I don't just mean life events, but imbalanced diet (not your fault if you had health problems), poor sleep patterns, smoking, drinking, over exercising,…

Points are not calories, different (albeit related) tracking system. There was a thread on this earlier today and another one yesterday if you search.

Pleased to hear the effort of the elimination diet has been worthwhile! Beans or lentils work well as the starch with dinner and most are very low on the glycaemic index. You can buy oat groats which are whole grains as opposed to the flaked or rolled stuff, steel cut (chunks) oats would also work well in a savoury dish.…

Why didn't he refer you to a registered dietician if this is a medical treatment?

Increase your intake slowly, sip don't glug, be sure you are consuming enough overall calories, carbs and electrolytes or you won't hold onto the water.

Looking at your diary you are low on healthy fats, blue/ purple and dark green produce, minerals. Two servings of black forest fruits with walnuts or pumpkin seeds.

Buy plain meat, fish and seafood not processed rubbish.

It's difficult to go too far wrong if most of your foods look almost exactly the same as when they came off the plant or animal, and only have one or two ingredients. Maybe purchase some plain raw meat, fresh or canned fish, a pile of fresh/ frozen/ dried fruits and vegetables in the full rainbow of colours (blue/ purple,…

If you are working to your limit in BodyPump you should be hitting failure (cannot do another repetition with good technique, shaking and hurting is often way before that) on at least some of the tracks and sore (DOMS) for a couple of days afterwards at least some of the time. Consider only training twice a week so you get…

1. Get a heart rate monitor 2. Mix up your workouts 3. Take more rest days 4. Work out at a higher intensity 5. Eat more.

Loads of threads on this exact topic, it's well worth running a search.

Sorry but you won't get enough EGCG in a home brewed blended tea to make any difference, the studies are on standardised green tea extract which is massively more potent. Too much tea can bind some nutrients in your food, so don't overdo it.

Don't cook the protein, stir it in at the end.

Not a vegetarian but wanted to suggest a decent textbook 'Vegetarian Sports Nutrition' from well respected publishing house Human Kinetics.

What you are making is a lot of sugar and water, that's why it's not filling you up, consider losing the orange juice or ice instead use more yoghurt or milk, a whole fresh orange or some canned citrus for speed. Protein powder or cottage cheese or low fat soft cheese for protein, half an avocado or some ground seeds for…

Can you switch from a car to a bicycle, or move closer to your internship so you can walk? Are there any food banks? Food wise buy dry beans and lentils, plain oats, brown rice, frozen vegetables, fresh root vegetables, canned tomatoes, dried fruit, canned oily fish, organ meats like liver, peanut butter - not only are…
