Ever since more than one MFPer opened my eyes to my binge drinking, I've made efforts to curb it. Good news is I drink less often. When I do drink though, I drink beer and it stalls my loss - even when I account for it. Who knows what I'm doing wrong, but CICO just doesn't work out for me where beer is concerned. Probably…

This is not new information and it's definitely not limited to Chipotle. It's also why I hate dining out. Nutrition facts on websites are great and all, but every restaurant has that one cook who is heavy handed on the butter... Or cheese...

AusteenaHayes, don't you have some working out to go do? One does not reach 6 hours of increased heart rate by pretending to be a grown up on forums.

^^^ this chick makes it sound so easy. I am personally someone who never makes the same thing the same way twice. It all depends on what I have on hand. Once a week I'll do veggies and eggs, but tonight's eggs won't have the same calories per serving as last weeks cause I have more eggs to use, no milk, and different…

No. Absolutely not. It is never ever okay to have a treat. Ever. Never ever. Ever never. No no no. No treats for you.

OP - I'm currently staring at a glass that used to contain 16 ounces of cold Bud Light Lime. There's foam stuck to the side of the glass. How many calories can I shave off my entry?

I just want to say.. this post is a little wrong. ;) In 2 large eggs, there are 142 calories. 34 of them are actually egg white, leaving 108 calories of yolk. The poster is complaining about leaving just yolk on his plate - his example indicated that he ate the entire white. So if he left 10% of the egg yolk on his plate…

I have been known to do this. And when I can't be bothered to do this, I weigh out MY burger and keep an eye on which one it is while I cook everyone's burger. ;)

Also, I have had meals where I measure literally everything down to the gram. Even prepackaged stuff. So if I get a bread roll that says that 65g is the serving size, and it's a 73g roll, you bet your bottom dollar that I'm logging 1.12 of a serving!

You make me feel less neurotic, so thank you. 1. This is why I don't cook in leftover bacon grease ;) 2. This is why I scramble my eggs. 3. I didn't like eating watermelon off the rind before I started counting calories anyway. 4. I have definitely measured before-and-after food and logged accordingly, such as apple cores,…

I try to squeeze a treat or two in my calorie budget every day so that I don't feel like I have to justify binging one day a week. There are days that I go over my calorie budget for whatever reason (perfect example - road trips. Not a whole lot of opportunity for exercise and crap food for every meal) but I'm honest with…

Is there any sort of prerequisite regarding education to become a personal trainer, or can anyone who looks good in a pair of spandex get a job at a gym nowadays? Not saying anything towards anyone in particular, just curious about the general requirements to label oneself a "personal trainer."

Want. All. (Aka tagging for later)

Oh to be 19..

How much water did you drink in the days leading up to the test? I ask because I use a Tanita for body comp about once a week and have noticed the more I drink, the better I feel about the results. If I drink a minimum amount of water (say 64 oz a day) for a few days before, it will say I have a higher body fat % (and…

Me too!

No one else curious about 980 Quick Added calories? No? Just me? *shrugs* Dat's cool.

I spend about $140 a week for two adults and two children.

My "goal jeans" were delivered yesterday... a pair of 8 longs. I didn't want to but decided to try to see how far up my legs they'd go .... and I was shocked to get them all the way up! By winter, I just know I'll be able to button them up! ;)

I did know a girl who went to a joint account within a month of marrying her SO. I can't help but wonder what's going on there but I don't know her well enough to ask.

I saw a meme one time that was like "Oh you share a Facebook account? Which of you cheated".. ... which is what I think of every time my husband mentions we should create a joint account. Neither of us are on Facebook at the moment, and I don't really want to be but there's reasons we should - to build our business and…

Maybe if you are really lucky, someone will come along with a link to the sexypants thread :)

My next run is Friday! I'll update then... I'm either going to videotape her (and her license plate number) or dramatically throw myself to the ground and see if she stops. Haven't decided ;)

I looooove me some b sprouts!

WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THESE?!

It sounds like you are confusing weight with lean body mass. If you are 150, I would do the math like this: 150 * .6 - .8g = Aim to consume 90-120 grams of protein per day (which is indeed less - by a little less than half - of the protein that your trainer friend has recommended for you)

I'm not going to argue with you on whether or not cyclists / joggers are "idiots in the road" or whether or not they are as entitled to use the roads as someone in vehicle. I feel we would strongly disagree in that debate, and lucky for the "inconsiderate joggers and bloody bikers," the laws (at least here in America)…

I agree wholeheartedly with the person who wrote the post I have quoted. ;) Although. I admit I'm a hypocrite. I get a little ping of satisfaction when people quote me and say any of the above statements ;)

One of my favorites as well... :drinker: I was wondering when someone was going to whip this out!! :laugh:
