So what you're saying is that as long as I am staying at my required caloric intake and am eating enough fiber, protein, carbs, etc., the extra protein shouldn't turn to fat? I am trying to stay away from fat and sugar as much as possible (still ok in range). I am using the shakes to reach my caloric requirements and to…

I tend to be eating a lot more protein these days and usually eat 3 or 4 times the recommended amount (including my protein shake snacks). Is there such thing as too much protein? and what would be the effects? ~Sherry~

1/2 baked chicken breast (seasoned well) 2 cups steamed broccoli 1 slice cheese

I like to bake a whole pan of chicken breasts (seasoned well) and wrap them individually in tin foil. Some I half and wrap. Then I grab what I need for the day on in the morning. Even if I can't warm them up they are great cold. Also, I keep a case of protein shakes (myoplex lite are good) handy and grab what I'll need for…

It doesn't hurt when I squeeze it and it is not warm or red. It doesn't feel swollen or tender. It is now both the front & back of the knee and kind of feels like it needs to pop or something. It is not sharp, just kind of achy and uncomfortable. Does not hurt if someone pushes my toes toward me. It does feel similar to…

Thanks for all the input. I guess I'd better try something else for a bit like bicycling. I've had knee issues in the past (many years ago when I was fit) when I did lunges. I just thought walking was great because it didn't feel like real exercise...it was enjoyable. I definitely don't want to make matters worse.…

It sounds like college is bad for one's figure. I graduate in December and have put on about 25-30 lbs. since I started. I am having some luck on here and love the food journals and message boards. Good luck!

I finally started trying to fit some exercise into my life and started taking a 30 minute brisk walk each evening. I've done this for only 4 days now and now something is up with my right knee. The pain is mostly at the back of my knee and is more uncomfortable with my leg extended rather than bent. What do you think?…

They say God never gives you more than you can handle but He sure pushed the envelope sometimes. You will be in my prayers.

I got some advice from a guy at GNC which was to eat every 2 hours. He also told me what to eat but after 2 days of it I realized that it was 2800 calories!!! Anyway, I modified it a bit and am trying this. breakfast: 3 eggs (only 1 yolk), 1 cup oatmeal snack: protein shake (with skim milk) lunch: 5 oz. chicken, tuna, or…

I joined about 4 days ago and love this site. It's so easy to log my information and I am amazed that we can access it for free! I am a lifetime member of weight watchers but that was many many years ago. I am about 45 lbs over my expected weight now. As I have aged, things that used to work for me no longer do the trick.…
