Hi there. Good job on making a commitment to yourself. I noticed that we are friends; hi friend! I'm a big guy too at 6'4''. When I started MFP last year I was at 270 lbs, so we may be comparable in our starting stats. I wanted to address your question. First, 1500 calories is far too little food for you to eat. Yes, it's…

The above suggested foodstuffs are all soft, but I wasn't able to move from a puree diet for over a week after having my last two wisdom teeth out. I turned to my favorite lentil soup recipe by Alton Brown and pureed it in my blender. It's flavorful, has a great and tweakable macronutrient composition, and is loaded with…

You guys have bad memories, because "Smurf Berry Crunch" was the best cereal.

I just open up my lips and . . .

I'm not a foodie by any means, but I do love to cook. Along the way I've picked up some cooking techniques that make it easier to turn bland meats and veggies into delicious indulgences. I mentioned earlier that I make a salad a night (or most nights, honestly). I do so by buying my greens and produce once a week and then…

I love food. I love eating so much that I shy away from choices that, in order to meet my calorie goals, subsequently restrict the amount of food and the degree of satiety feel. As such, sugar is playing a very small role in my diet. Daily salads of raw vegetables, lean protein, and additions of small amounts of cheeses…

No, I'm not talking about the Boystown that was founded by a Roman Catholic priest. I'm talking about the neighborhood in Chicago where you'll sometimes find Roman Catholic priests in street-clothes.
-
Usually, you just ask. Guys are like that.

In this context, gay neighborhoods are identified by jeans bulges. In reality, it's not too far from the truth. The first time I visited Boystown in Chicago I was titillated--and kind of grossed-out--by what guys were stuffing in their jeans. Just saying . . .
-
But I like seeing guys' junk. Sometimes I don't mind showing off either. Has anyone here ever actually been to a gay neighborhood?

A resident at the long term care facility I work at was able to change her own colostomy bag today. Things like this--and not being 18 anymore--help me when I feel out of control. Some days you just need to swear a lot and cry.

Something doesn't seem right here. I'm 6'4'' and weigh 260 currently. I have a very large frame(barrel chest, wide shoulders, size 16 feet and huge hands) I started calorie and macronutrient planning three weeks ago and weighed 270. MFP put my BMR at about 2200 and my TDEE at about 2700. I eat 2100 a day and eat my…

In a rush to be more skeptical than thou, I forgot that you weren't promoting this story but were complaining that people take too much for granted. I didn't mean to criticize you; I was writing on autopilot. Thanks for being so gracious.

Shame on ABC, NBC, CBS, and the rest of those who resort to sensationalism. "A team of Harvard researchers" is not a signifier of authority here. As the article linked to in the OP points outs--somewhere at the bottom, this review of other studies has yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. While being published…

Smoking pot will help give you an appetite. With enough use you may be able to retrain your body to crave food when it is hungry.
-
On the other hand, standing next to a smoker in a grocery story line/queue is always revelatory--smokers smell worse than someone who hasn't bathed in weeks.

I quit three months ago after an almost fifteen year, pack-a-day habit. I made a plan to quit on a particular day by planning to run out of cigarettes the night before. I had been out of work so I could plan on going through withdrawal without caring about how I would affect others--besides my roommate who was a witness to…

I'm not fake. This site and app is part of my new daily routine. That guy was a jerk. The OP might have been sensitive about her financial situation and it upsets me to see people get trolled by entitled-sounding *kitten*. Dude, I know where you're coming from. I can appreciate any desire to police one's own space. This…
