  • Another thing to keep in mind if your tracking your calories is if your not weighing your food you don't REALLY know how much calories your consuming. So if you think your eating 1350 it could be your already eating 1800 but not tracking properly.
  • I cannot for the life of me remember where I read it but I thought once it was reconsituted it only lasted a few days. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not sure if I read it on a label/site or here on mfp.
  • If you like homemade pancakes, which don't take long to make, you can replace half the flour with protein powder and it will still have the same texture as pancakes but with less carbs and more protein. Flavored protein powder will also bump up the flavor profile of the pancakes, I love vanilla protein pancakes. =3 Another…
  • I really like sandwhiches for lunch, chicken, hamburger, ham, etc. With a salad on the side, sometimes I just eat one big salad though cuz I suck at getting enough veggies. However, I eat what I feel like, there are no regular and cheat days for me. Have what you want in the amount that fits your calories while paying…
  • Weigh naturally will fluctuate during your period as well as ovulation. How much depends from person to person, some don't at all.
  • People who have that surgery are supposed to be following rigorous followups with doctors to ensure that their health is optimal. The reason they have to do this is the low calorie diet like that is because your body isn't getting the macro/micro nutrients it needs often times. So if you were thinking about doing it on…
  • I would honestly recommend real food. However, I guess most of my breakfast are "drinks" and not solid food. I really like chocolate protein shakes because they taste like chocolate malts to me and I have a weakness for those lol. It is like having ice-cream most mornings but the shakes have like 40g of protein lol. I also…
  • The general answer is 1g of protein per lb of lean body mass. The bottom of this post will help you figure all that out and more: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819055-setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets This is also a nice guide to read:…
  • Start counting your calories and do so accurately (weigh your food) and you will get there.

  • Input your information accurately on myfitnesspal. Use the guidelines I gave you on my above post to help you decide on how much weight loss should be aimed for per week. From there, go with the calories it tells you to eat per day and log your food accurately by weighing it. As for exercise, test the waters and do…
  • You need to be netting at least 1200 calories a day. Net means intake calories - exercise calories btw. Weigh your food, track it in your diary, be honest with your diary, you will get there. Guidelines for Goal Weight Loss Per Week: If you have more than 75 lbs to lose: 2 lbs/week 40-75 lbs to lose: 1.5 lbs/week 10-40 lbs…
  • Another than maybe an increased sweet tooth, my actual hunger levels don't really raise up, just what kind of food I prefer to eat changes. However, I have a chocolate protein shake almost everyday of my life since I discovered it and its like cheating but not. Taste like a yummy chocolate malt, and has 40g of protein =3…
  • I would put you down as sedentary unless you are actually on your feet most of the day.
  • I just died of happiness. They don't have them in my area, I'm gonna have to go hunting on the interwebs after I am resurrected.
  • The peanut butter ones taste like cookies to me, which isn't a bad thing, I save calories for them some days. :) Is there a cookie dough one yet -_-
  • I'm gonna quote myself from my profile feed. "Chocolate Protein Shakes are literately the highlight of my day. It taste like the best chocolate milkshake married the worlds best chocolate malt, but was born a mutant and it's superpower was 40g of protein."
  • Does not really matter when you eat, as long as you stay under your maintenance level you are losing weight. It also doesn't matter if you have 3 big meals or 2 meals and the rest is all from snacking. Just try and meet your macros while staying below maintenance and you will be fine.
  • I weigh myself almost everyday. I don't don't on weekends. At first I thought if I did this it would make me paranoid about every single weight fluctation. However, after a month on myftinesspal I realized that you can't gain 5 pounds of fat in one day. It made me really get interested in my water weight fluctuations. I…
  • Before myfitnesspal I lost around 40 pounds over the course of a year just trying to watch what I eat without counting calories. I've lost around 12 pounds over 16 weeks so far on myfitnesspal. I think I could have lost more by now but I did not record when I took a 5 week road trip to visit family. I don't really regret…
  • Weight loss is mostly about diet, exercise is mostly about fitness. That being said, when I was young my right knee (and a little bit of my left) got into several series of accidents and even with physical therapy it never really felt good to run or do any high intensity stuff ever again. Swimming is excellent, and…
  • If your net was zero, it would mean your body is getting absolutely no fuel to function. Your net goal already has a deficit in mind, so if exercise is putting you below your net goal, then you should eat more to meet that goal. Your net should always exceed 1200 as that is the absolute bare minimum most people need to…
  • This is going to sound weird but what I will do is put some oil on a piece of napkin or paper towel and rub that towel on the pan. It gives just enough oil to make it non-stick but not enough oil that I think any significant amount is being absorbed into the food. I don't really allot calories when I do it this way.…
  • The worst thing you could ever do for yourself is demonize food groups. If you are allergic to a certain type of food, or you have a medical condition that requires you to stay away from a certain type of food, that is different. However, if you have no allergic reaction or medical condition, and you enjoy it, and it fits…
  • Loose skin is a big one. You also tend to have a loss of lean muscle mass if you lose weight to quickly. Sometimes the lack of nutrition can lead to gallstones and liver issues. --- I know your talking about guys here, but do you guys ever reach out to the people on your friends list who are eating too little? Every night…
  • If you get super confused about the mfp method, don't know if your overestimating or under, you could just switch to TDEE method.
  • I think real foods are better, however I do use supplements for certain things. I use protein powder because I have a hard time reaching protein some days and I think it taste yummy. Chocolate protein shakes are ungodly good to me, also are great in fruit smoothies. I also take flax seed oil in the morning and fish oil at…
  • I don't really think you should depend on this kind of thing to be your entire diet. You really should try and just eating real food and counting calories, ask your brother to pick up chicken breast or other meats and just freeze what your not gonna eat right away. Get veggies, fruits, etc. Sounds like to me you need to…
  • no, everybody's body is different. 10 pounds lost for me may be an inch on my waste and it may be 3 inches for somebody else, or even nothing for another. Just go through teh regular weight loss journey and you will eventually lose the fat, but you may lose it in other places first.
