there are a ton of healthy pumpkin recipes right here! http://dhftns.com/healthy-recipes/protein-recipes/

Im not sure I understand your question. If you are handmake the pasta from scratch then I dont have an answer for you but it you are using boxed pasta then usually about 2-3oz dry is plenty to keep me full. all I do to weigh it is put a bowl on the scale and fill it to the desired amount and cook mine separately from…

I totally know the feeling! I am the exact same way on rest days, I always crave the most junk. Im not sure why but I think it has to do with not feeling like im going to screw up my workout. Usually i just incorporate a healthy sweet snack like protein cheesecake into my macros and that does the trick.

That is most likely happening for 2 reasons. 1 now that you are running more you are working out the tiny stability muscle in your feet causing them to grow, also because running is so high impact that is causing your feet to swell up a small amount

Yeah i would suggest eating at maintenance but maybe add something alittle more intense than walking. Either some light resistance training for 30 minute jog instead.

First off great work on doing all the beachbody programs! Its hard to tell from the list you gave but I looks like your not eating enough right now. Usually as you get closer to your target weight your body tries very hard to hold on to the last few pounds. To fix this you have to slowly increase your calories and the last…

Ok there are alot of questions you asked so ill try to keep it short for you. Your soreness should decrease every week and be practically gone by week 4. Being that your female you actually wont get bulky but you will start seeing results in about 3-4 weeks. Also it depends on your preference for protein powder, but if you…

As long as you are eating enough calories a day, if you dont want to eat that unhealthy stuff there is nothing wrong with that. If you are happy eating only healthy food than dont listen to the people making fun of you. Sadly that happens all the time when people decide to eat healthy. Ive been eating healthy for about 2…

1000 calorie is not enough at all! you at very close to bottoming out your metabolism so do not cut anymore. First thing to do is try to raise your protein intake to as close to 50% as you can which will take some time to do. also try raising your calorie by just 100 a day. That should fire up your metabolism some and…

Hi, What I do and what I recommend to people is to eat at a calorie level that allows you to drop 1-2 lbs/week. This assumes an average calorie burn from you getting in all of your workouts. This will be different for everyone, so you'll have to do some trial and error to figure it out. I'd start ~1600 cal/day. Hit this…

I would recommend shooting for about 1450 calories a day. With 50% protein 30% carbs 20% fat. Now I know that 50% protein is going to be very hard to reach for a little while but I swear to you your going to love the results! Also dont hesitate to do some other exercise on the days you arent with your trainer. Running or…

I would actually recommend 2200 calories a day at 50% protein 30% carbs 20% fat. Also working out 6 days a week about 30 minutes a day would be great! It is important to focus on measurements for sure! but the scale helps as well. It would be great to shoot for about 2lbs a week of weight loss.

I am a full time college student as well with an hourly job. My go-to snacks are peanut butter protein balls(delicious) and 0% greek yogurt. That way you keep your carbs low with a ton of protein. And being a college student they are the cheapest option.

The trick is to do your best to combine the best of both worlds. Take the conventional lifts and up the pace. Dont take more than 30 second breaks in between each set and bring it pedal to the metal for the whole workout. If im not out of breath after each workout than I didnt push myself hard enough. Start thinking of…

Also in response to the other replies. Water weight does last weeks so it is not water retention

That is a very common problem! and most people actually dont know it exists. You friends was right, eaint more calories a day should kickstart your metabolism. Here is what I suggest. Resume your workouts and raise your calories by 100 calories a day, this is called reverse dieting and usually results in losing weight…

Yes you will lose weight but like everyone else said you will feel like crap. Also you will be VERY hungry, one of the main benefits of eating healthier is you get alot more food for the same amount of calories.

1700 calories a day is a great level so keep up the great work! I know it can be hard to stay with the program sometimes but it working so stay the course. Like they say "If it aint broke, dont fix it". You are doing great and are setting awesome goals!

It may seam rare but that is a very common problem and it is nothing to worry about. People lose weight at different areas at different rates so it will eventually even out. Keep up the great work and doing your best.

Hey Nelly! So I looked at your diary and I see 2 things that will help you overcome that plateau. First is to change your macro ratios, try eating 40% protein 40% carbs 20% fat. Second try increasing your calories by 100. That should kick start your metabolism and youll be losing weight faster then you ever have!

I agree it is kind of hard to figure out what is going on without seeing your diary but I would love to help

They are suprisingly low calorie actually if you dont get any condiments besides mustard. But I would recommend getting something with lean meat in it like turkey of chicken because you need that protein. And definitely track it to the best of your ability

Youve made great progress so far! Keep going strong and dont let 1 month ruin all your hard work! You should be proud of what youve accomplished and dont get discouraged. Just see how much you have done vand realize how much more you can do! Keep up the great work

These are the ones that I make. They are 307 calories a piece but you could easily halve the serving size for 150. http://dhftns.com/the-best-homemade-protein-bars-recipe-18-5g-protein4g-fiber/

We are here to help man! great to have you here!

I like to make peanut butter protein balls, they have some fiber from the oats but they arent specifically high in fiber. Also greek yogurt is a great easy snack on the go.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. All it will do is let you maintain during that time, and allows you alittle wiggle room during vacation. Upping the calories might actually help you lose more weight believe it or not! Have a great time.

To build more muscle your going to have to eat more. And I know it sounds crazy but increasing your calories slowly will actually help you lose that last little bit of fat and you will see amazing results.

You should absolutely change your workout every day. You should have at least one day between each muscle group. If you only want to work your upper body one day and lower the next that is fine but the more variety the better. If you dont change it up your body will adapt an your progress will stop which can be very…

The best thing you can do is wait. I know it is frustrating but in most cases you just have to wait for the skin to tighten up again. To help aid the process some you can use vitamin A and Vitamin C in either cream form or tablets.
