Iiii loooooovvveeee snack packs of roasted nuts! Try chickpeas and other things like that too. If you want, you can roast edamame in some oil before you leave and package it individually too :)

Gonna just add my 2 cents: I log cleaning because it motivates me to do it, lol. It makes me feel so much better about cleaning my room if I get to have an extra cup of cherries at the end of the day, you know?

Did the bike take into account your age, gender and weight? If it did, that might be more accurate. To be safe I'd log it as somewhere in between, fudge the numbers a little :p

As long as your diet is balanced, you can "just snack" all day! Enjoy your night :)

I hate to tell you this, but no one here can help you. Go counselor-hunting. I promise you they're not all the same. A friend of mine had one counselor tell her she didn't think she needed to see her anymore... when my friend had a date set to kill herself two weeks after that. Another therapist really helped her out. You…

No sugar added reduced fat butter pecan ice cream. Edy's makes it for I think 120 calories. I love it <3 I put it on an ice cream cone (20) and feel totally satisfied when I'm done :) Other sweet tooth things: dark chocolate is definitely okay! & I love fiber plus eggos. Polander also makes a sugar free +fiber jelly which…

Hey - BED is a real thing. I struggle with a bit of it too. Exercise is definitely a good way to start! Good luck!

RUNNING. I may be a freak for this, but I'd rather do ANYTHING else. So I bought a pair of roller blades.

Sounds like low blood pressure to me too. It happened to me when I started eating healthier, my blood pressure just dropped. I got used to it after a while and the symptoms faded, but I know it can be bothersome... I don't know if you track sodium, but you may want to add some salted pretzels to your day and see how that…

You definitely won't go into starvation mode at those levels, but if you want to build up that muscle in your legs that you should get from walking at an incline like that, you may want to eat more. It's up to you. Just listen to your body.

You're right - it's your birthday, you can't NOT have cake! I, personally, took my birthday weekend off and gorged myself on everything I love, including a slice of the rum cake I made for myself, with as much butter and rum as it would allow haha. As far as I (and most of the people I talk to) am concerned, there are no…

Always always shots and diet soda, lol. Even the boys I party with have run out of reasons not to have their rum with Coke Zero.

Chinese food places with "steamed" and "oil free" dishes are great, plus it's the only easy way for me to get seafood :) I have a Fuel health cafe by me which is the best. It's hard to figure calorie numbers (and the portions are huge,) but everything is high-protein and whole grain. They serve vegetable juice cocktails,…

Trimmmeeeddd please. Wolf-man hair can be gross. A hairless man would be weird. Can't they just take care of themselves a little without going overboard? lol.

I just discovered that you can make quinoa instead of oatmeal for breakfast. I don't know why I didn't think of it before! Try it with honey and fruit or nuts for a sweeter treat :)

I generally eat in 4 meals. 200-300 for each, plus snacks. My fourth meal is usually almost entirely earned through exercise. I try to eat more evenly throughout the day as opposed to forcing myself to have a big breakfast.

Yes. You're not making your boobs themselves bigger or more muscular, but the muscles holding them up certainly can be, and that'll make them perkier. Chest exercises aren't just for men anymore :)

Protein pancakes are the way to go! But keep in mind, your pancakes should be whole grain, just like the rest of your grains. (I had some protein/wheat pancakes this morning, myself.) The sugar is probably a little bit over, especially with the corn syrup "butter rich" syrup. I use sugar-free syrup but my true love is real…

Water and potassium! Potassium acts against sodium in water retention, so load up on potatoes and bananas this week :p

You could try grits or something if you're looking for a hot breakfast cereal with a different consistency. Quinoa is my FAVORITE but I never thought to have it sweet with breakfast.. hmm.. You could even whip up a brown rice pudding with minimal sugar/sweetener and mix up some raspberries in it and portion that out in the…

Sketchers Shape Ups are supposed to simulate walking on sand so that you tone your legs differently and supposedly burn more calories. There's got to be something to it. I'd log it as whatever speed you're going at, but acknowledge that you're more likely to tone up your legs differently/more than regular walking on a hard…

Eating at night isn't actually bad for your diet, so eat whenever works for you. Honestly, the taboo around night eating is because people tend to overeat at night when they're not even hungry, so it's easier to just say that you shouldn't eat at all.

Yes, basically MFP subtracts any calories you burn during exercise from your food, allowing you to eat back all the exercise you do.

Definitely go for liquor and zero-calorie mixers (like a rum and diet coke) or light beer. Stay away from malt liquors and things like that if you can help it. You're also probably still gonna have to do an extra workout, though, and you don't want to not eat when you're drinking! Besides, the next morning or when you're…

Calories in minus calories out is not an exact science. You will lose weight, but you probably won't see a steady weight loss of exactly what you should every week, even if your calories and portions are strictly and perfectly monitored. BUT it's probably the best thing you've got, so don't get discouraged if it's not…

I'm starting to do No More Trouble Zones tonight and was wondering how much I'd burn too. Most people log it as circuit training if they don't have a HRM, but I don't want to overeat if I didn't burn that much. Anyone with a HRM - how far off do you find the numbers are from what you'd log as circuit training?

In my humble opinion, not at all important. I don't know who did it, but an actual study showed that a calorie-controlled yet high-fat diet was more effective for weight loss than one low in fat. A low-fat diet that is not calorie controlled, however, is more effective than a high-fat diet that's not calorie controlled…

Butter buds and broccoli <3 Heck, even real butter is worth it sometimes. I also love garlic salt on my broccoli, maybe that with the fresh parmesan would work :) With my broccoli and cauliflower mix I love balsamic vinegar for some reason.

I never drink energy drinks to fuel my workouts. I drink them because, frankly, I like the way they taste (and they're loaded with B vitamins. Who knew?) I can't imagine drinking a diet soda before a workout and having it end well, and basically that's what you're doing. Not that I work out with any consistency. Just my 2…

I MADE A PIE LAST NIGHT. It was filling enough to be a separate dinner of its own. Even if you advocate for real sugar, it's gonna be below 200 calories. Here's my blog post: Mini Oatmeal Berry Meringue Pie! Edit: I’d use more sweetener than I used. 1/4 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (or other fruit puree)…
