As you get more used to it it'll be like second nature, you will have meals that you know are good and stuff and you don't have to literally log it all but just kinda think about what you eat and what you have eaten and will eat later. However if you haven't really learned good habits and have just been very careful to log…

haha I get it, congrats guys

I'm buying one tomorrow y'all. However, come late august, we shall be at the same problem because I will be at school and I won't be able to weigh my food.

I'm in the middle of stage 5 of NROLW, and I do that 2-3 times a week (gym is by my work place so when I go to the gym to lift depends on work) and other days I do cardio with a HRM ranging from swimming, biking, running, and high intensity workout videos like kickboxing and plyometrics and things like that. i don't lift…

I don't have a food scale but since I live in america most of my things are in cups or tablespoons or ounces, and for things like meat I look at the whole package, if it's 1 lb I see how many pieces is in there and calculate about how much each piece will be. I'm very careful, I do measure out cups and tablespoons and all…

well when you're actually traveling, as in driving or flying, just eat like you normally would, bring a cooler with cut up veggies, maybe some cut up chicken or something, a salad dressing, a sandwich something. If you stop for fast food order just grilled chicken and put it on your own bread, or order a salad and bring…

that's an amazing change

I think if it was just 1 slurpee you can treat it like a special occasion ya know like well it's the only day to get it free and I like them so I'll have one, having 1 isn't going to ruin your health, if she like LOVES slurpees then maybe get 5 and freeze the other 4 and have like a free slurpee day for 5 days in a row,…

I will not weigh myself because I will obsess over it and it won't be healthy. And weight isn't the best way to tell if you're healthy and stuff, all the scales I have ever owned (many brands from cheap to expensive) have fluctated so much even if you just step off and step back on, we don't have a flat surface to weigh on…

I don't have a way to measure my bf%

Oh I do still eat things when I want them, but I'm just trying to replace stuff that I just eat because I want a carb with lunch with something healthier for example but because of this i don't get the same cravings for the chocolate and ice cream so I don't eat it. If I wanted it, I would eat it.

I often wonder the same however it seems that as long as it's coming from like fruit and dairy and these things that are naturally high in sugar but if it's mostly coming from things that have a lot of added sugar then you should try to cut that down.

use almond butter

DO NOT do this, if you're going to use tea as an alternative make it herbal as the caffeine will dehyrdate you which is the opposite of what you want drinking water.

No, anything sparkling is not a good alternative. Try getting like liquid mio or crystal light and adding it to plain water and then slowly decrease the amount until you get used to it. It's not natural for the body to dislike water so you can learn to like it. Also for me it tends to be harder to drink a lot of water from…

honestly, no matter how much you're dying and sweating during your workout i would put general because MFP overestimates so much on calories burned. your best bet is to get a HRM so you can know much more accurately

I know a decent amount of people who were veg or pesc and switched to being veg except chicken (so no fish either, it doesn't have a formal name I don't think) but I eat a lot of boneless skinless chicken breast which a lot of people seem to find boring but to me it's like white bread or something it's not really really…

Swimming in a lake, so open water longer distance.

Well...why didn't you just have a cupcake if you really wanted one that badly. Probably didn't have more than 300 or 400 calories so just do 1 30-40 min cardio workout and it's gone....also, this isn't a "mean" thing to say so if you press ignore then you're really setting yourself up for failure if you can't listen to…

High protein, good fats, lower carbs (and that includes sugar), low sodium (which means be very careful with the soups, especially miso), no sodas (even diet), lots of water, at least a gallon a day. I would say: protein shake for breakfast and one at the end of working out, lean protein, like chicken, for lunch, nuts as a…

well if you're having issues with sugar just cut out the poptarts, and you'll be fine. As for a snack, 300 calories for just one snack is a lot, so I would say have a couple smaller snacks: some nuts (protein and fat), maybe some rice crackers or whole grain crackers (carbs), and then I would say maybe a protein shake (if…

I just looked at your diary and you logged them as different meals. You need fewer carbs and more protein, fat is fine. Also your goal is pretty low, you've only had 1300 calories so you could eat more and still lose weight i'm sure. What you're eating aren't bad foods though. I would say places you can cut down:…

Yeah, people have different bone structures, size 0 models actual like space between their bones (so like if they had zero fat and was just skin and bone) is smaller than mine. I have a big rib cage and broad shoulders and stuff like that. But big boned is what it says, having bigger bones (structure), not being fatter. It…

Look I'm sorry, but if YOU can't say no to foods or say yes only in moderation then you're never going to succeed. When you're in college or something it'll be readily available in dining halls and people will have it in their rooms. I personally think what she did is good, it's going to help you in the long run, you have…

I burn on average 10 calories a min, so it would take 100 mins, so if I did an hour long workout in the morning (like swimming) and then another 40 min workout at night (like elliptical) then I would probably burn around 1000 calories

okay well what are the goals of crossfit, I am fit as far as cardio goes but I hate running (hurts my knees) and i was doing NROL to reduce BF% and maintain LBM so I don't want to bulk up or anything. And the reason I would change is because right now I don't have access to it, but in the fall I will and I will be done…

it's carbs, generally brown rice is healthier than white rice because it has more nutrients even though depending on the brand the white may have fewer calories I've noticed. If you're living in asia you often don't have the choice of brown rice, it's just white, or sometimes more natural with purple or black rice in it.…

I don't have a cheat day, I have days when I'm really good, and days where I'm okay, i rarely have days where I'm really bad. Because usually even if I have really bad things, I am still at or under calories. Like today, I had wendys (I can't eat the bread and I don't like the burgers so I just had plain grilled chicken…

Oh yeah Im going to add a 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice you think the protein powder will work out?

I just force myself to go, and once you get started it's much easier not to stop, and depending on how bad a day it is you feel fine after the first 10-30 mins
