Evening Air was their best scent. BRING IT BACK! :sad: I don't like their patchouli or vanilla scents (or anyone else's, for that matter).

I will happily put cilantro on tuna fish if you'll eat the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

MFP's fats and proteins settings are widely regarded as minimums by many forum-goers; fats help with organ function and satiety. Protein intake is essential to maintaining muscle mass, especially while losing weight.

I'm still fuzzy on how a "cheat meal" is something that's supposed to keep you within your calorie limit for the day. Doesn't that make it a "cheat day"? And, if it doesn't push you over budget, how are you "cheating"? Anyway, beating yourself up over it won't do any good. It's done. Don't try to 'atone' for it tomorrow,…

Chicken breasts. So. . . many. . . chicken breasts.

Who's awesome? You're awesome!

Your partner will probably appreciate the extra attention to personal hygiene, yes.

Someone will ask; it may as well be me. Is there a specific medical reason you're tracking sugar separately from other carbohydrates? I know MFP does so by default, but you're able to change that default.

Sorry I couldn't adjust the size of the Giant jpeg of Giantness.

Well said.

First off, focus on healing, not on the 'lost progress' your injury is causing. Failure to allow for a complete recovery before I was bending my injured knee too far was called a likely contributing factor to my arthritis by my doctor. Here's a link to 'chair exercises' you can do to get a little bit of blood flowing to…

Nothing wrong with an apple. Provided you're getting adequate fat and protein, and the apples don't (somehow) throw you over your carb or calorie goals, feel free to eat your apples guilt-free. They even have micronutrients and fiber.

Quoted for truth. Unless you're under a doctor's care, going under 1200 net calories is not a recipe for long-term success.

Ding ding. If you're (generic "you") exercising for anyone other than the person in the mirror, it seems to me you've got your priorities wrong and are more likely to fail.

Ask your trainer if he can provide you written instructions, or a written workout plan.

Same here.

Short version: Fats (lipids) are necessary nutrients essential for organ function. They also greatly impact satiety derived from food - how 'full' you feel. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are not strictly necessary, but are often your body's quickest choice for conversion to energy; simple carbohydrates…

He was clearly delusional from flexing in the mirror and doing bicep curls. Remember this, next time: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt

No. Of course not. That would be wrong. *cough*

The only ones at the gym judging the way you look should be you or your trainer. Pay no mind to anyone else, because they don't matter.

We're the cool kids. . . or, we were, back when Brett Michaels still had his own hair. . . . Feel free to add me.

Roughly, 3500 calories equals 1 pound. So, you might gain a whole 1/7 of a pound. . . which is almost certainly less than your weight typically fluctuates during a single day. You did nothing wrong, and tomorrow is a new day.

Spinach in place of iceberg lettuce in a sandwich (like a BLT) is a fairly painless switch that gets you a better micronutrient result.

Tagging in to read later. . . and to join the fundraiser to get SideSteel a cape.

With no impact on micronutrient levels? Because that was the claim you apparently made when you said "not if she swaps fruits for vegetables and stays within her macros."

Do you believe that changing fruits for vegetables would have zero impact on her micronutrient levels? Could you explain that in more detail, perhaps with a comparison of the micronutrients in various fruits with the vegetables you're recommending as a replacement?
