But if you're not at goal yet (still trying to lose some body fat), work on maintaining what muscle you still have. Lift progressively heavy and get enough protein... butdon't go by MFP default protein level. It's really low. Aim for 0.8-1g per pound of LEAN body mass (total body weight - fat).

Blending > Juicing

This! No one food is good or bad. Learn moderation, meet your protein, fat, and micro minimums. Then fill the rest of your allotted calories with whatever you want.

Weigh all solids with a kitchen scale. Measure only liquids with cups and spoons. ETA: I even weigh out individually wrapped product. They can be off by 25%. It may not sound like much, but it adds up and it doesn't take a lot of time.

I prefer white chocolate Lindt truffles.... and a plethora of Godiva truffles. I'm also a big fan of Kinder and Toblerone chocolate bars.

I agree. Women do not bulk up like men. We don't make enough testosterone. Besides, even men find it hard to "bulk up". Years and years of training and eating enough protein, bulking and cutting. It's not easy for anyone, unless you're genetically lucky and/or work your @$$ off! (unless they cheat with steroids, which for…

:huh:

Brilliant!

I try to find the yummiest food that fits my macros/micros. If I get bored, I try to find things that still satisfy those macros/micros. There are no "good" or "bad" foods so experiment!

I love the Fiber One bars. Very yummy!

This. Ever since I've been vocal about my MFP plans (e.g. him: "Want to go to Taco Bell for dinner?", me: "Yes, I have enough calories to get my usual", etc) slowly, but surely he has been making small steps in the right direction (he's not counting calories, but he's making better decisions and has lost some weight) . It…

Advice? Please see a therapist. You need to talk to someone experienced with this topic.

THIS! THIS! THIS! All day long!! :icecreamforyou:

I have a motto: I'm not trying to be better than you. I'm trying to be better than I used to be. There will always be someone faster or stronger. Use that person as inspiration! You don't know how they've trained up until that point. So they haven't been in a gym. Maybe they have a physically demanding job or something.…

Simple! Stop tracking sugar (assuming you're already watching carbs). Sugar is a carb so there's no need to watch both unless you have a medical reason to do so. Track fiber instead.

This. It's gotta come from within, I'm afraid.

Be careful what you wish for! :wink: :laugh: All joking aside, please consider reading the sexypants thread. It has a LOT of info, but it's all great. I've read it multiple times. good luck! :drinker:

Another vote for IIFYM! :drinker:

Eat more calorie dense foods like peanut butter or avocados or even ice cream. As long as you're hitting the proper macro and micro goals, fill the rest of your calorie goal with whatever you want!

You're joking, right? Blending and running it through a strainer is a type of processing....

Ok, then trial and error is the way to go. Add it to your regimen and watch your weight for the next 4-6 weeks. If your weight steadily increases (aside from daily fluctuations, namely water and food/poop), then either go back to skim or remove something that you eat or drink that's about 100 calories, give or take. I…

Sushi, cheesecake, Biscoff, my mom's lasagna, freshly baked salmon, Nutella, ice cream, pizza

All stats green is supposed to be good? The only two stats I want to be green are calories and carbs. I can't meet my protein and fat minimums with those items. Not even close! I need more than that if I want to continue lifting more than my body weight. I think it's time you did some more research. :) Here, start with…

Hawaiian Omelet (3 eggs, Monterrey Jack, pineapple chunks, diced ham) Tomato slices buttermilk biscuit next weekend: chocolate chip and banana pancakes!

I check the entry to see if it says "raw" or "cooked" in the title I cross check the information by searching the web for the similar item. For example I'll search "how many calories in chicken, skinless, boneless, raw". If the calories are a match, great! I'll use that entry. If the calories don't match, I'll search for a…

I'm actually going to answer seriously. (boring, I know) Hemp protein powder and quinoa were the first two that came to my mind. Here's a list of protein sources (skip down to the vegan options): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/926789-protein-sources

I think a few people missed the joke. :laugh:

I vote for Baxter!

I aim to meet my protein minimum (1g of protein per pound of LBM) and my fat minimum (0.35g per pound of body weight). I also try to meet my micro goals by at least 50%. Other than that, I fill the rest of my calorie allotment with whatever my heart desires. That, plus heavy progressive lifting, is how I've been losing fat…
