It's up to you. If you monitor it, sure, log it.

Personally, I prefer getting my protein from whole food. However, often you may not be able to have access to food within the time (45 min after weight training) limit that benefit the muscle. Therefore protein supplement (powders or bars) comes really handy. I totally agree that it is pricey, that's why I use them when I…

Not saying this is the reason, just glanced your diary, just some observation: * you like refined carb (white bread, pasta, garlic bread, bagels etc) --> try eat more whole grain (whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, etc) * process food --> go with more fresh produce * Iceberg lettuce --> go with more nutrition version:…

Quick answer: eat your exercises calories that you burned BACK! It's how MFP set it up to work this way (which already included deficit when you set up the goal using the auto setting).

Hi all, just checking in. Went to a short camping trip and got back yesterday. Glad to see everyone is doing great. It seems that I've been losing weight... Not sure what is going on. I swear that I ate a lot and snack quick often. May not have the best choices lately, because I've crave for carb and fruits so much. :-(…

Rule: listen to your body

If you have chi-fil-A, it's better fast food chain. Go with grill chicken. How about Chipotle?

Cut down the beers (empty calories, and alcohol is not good for your liver), have 1 or 2. Try to grab water instead. Enjoy different type of the food, but try them in small bite size, then you got to taste them all but not eating too much. Don't skip breakfast, go light on lunch. Drink lots of water.

http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-coconut-meat-i12104 The site show you the breakdown of the analysis, and it's because the fat in coconuts. But remember, the coconut fat is good fat. Eat a piece (2" x 2" x 1/2") (45.0 g), it's only 159 calories. I won't suggest to eat the entire thing. I used to eat coconuts like…

Take a walk, sure the kids will enjoy the fresh air

Did you read all the responses from people who care about you? Doesn't seems you are taking any of those in and willing to change to a healthier process. Are you just trying to get some attentions, or you are really seeking for help? If you are seriously want some help, stop being negative, and take those good advices, and…

If you cannot eat it, drink it - protein shake, homemade shake (fruits, yogurt/milk)

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of doing "cheat day", consider just "cheat meal". Pick a meal that you can eat what you like to eat, and enjoy it. But personally I think a cheat day, the entire day, is too much.

There are many out there, search it and try it to see which one you like. I tried a bunch and like CardioTrainer.

Absolutely! Protein, calcium... If you want to cut down calories & fat, drink skim (fat-free) milk.

Totally agree. The 6" long bread itself would be 170, and most likely more.

P90x is great for having awesome weight training added to your routine

Add some basic weights, or bands, do lots of weight training. Also do those exercises without equipment: squats, push-ups, pull-ups (if you get a pull-up bar), lunges, etc. 2-3 times a week weight training!

Just about to comment on the same thing. :P Yes, people need to stop saying "muscle weights more than fat"...

Agree on the carb comments. I don't even look at the carb when I get cereal. What's the point. BTW, choose whole grain. It's all about reading ingredients...

Totally agree with Heather on the bra. Try get some extension first. It'll last you for awhile. I recently tried "The Perfect Pregnancy Workout vol. 1". Not too bad, but I don't think it's intense enough since I'm still in the 1st-tri.

Also here are some great blog / topic to read.

* Callanetics 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours * Super Callanetics * Bob Harper's DVDs (he's the other trainer with JM, he got good stuffs) * Supreme 90 Day System (<$24, an lot more affordable version of the P90x, read the review on Amazon yourself)

Today I had my 'Nature's Path Organic Optimum - Banana Almond Cereal". One serving has: calories: 190 fiber: 5g> high fiber protein: 10g> high protein omega-3: 0.6g (daily recommendation is 1.3g) And it taste great. I have bought other Nature's path's Optimum cereal, worth every penny.

Personal choice.
