Quibbling over semantics drives me crazy.

A LOT of diet books; too many frankly. Most follow a fairly standard organization, with very very few exceptions, most will tell you that ‘calorie restricted diets don’t work for weight loss’ and that whatever magic they are selling is the key to quick, easy (and of course permanent) weight loss. Whether it’s insulin,…

Consider food prepping to cut down on time spent in the kitchen and to get your calorie intake/ portion size in check. Lastly a one hr workout is about 4% of a day, it is a rarity to meet an individual who cannot spare 4% of their day.

I did a double take, you have been missed.

The classic somatotype labels (endomorph, ectomorph, and mesomorph) that many lifters apply to themselves were not even designed with bodybuilders in mind. Building your training and nutrition around them can be self-limiting. 1. You Are Not Your Somatotype A somatotype is one of three labels people like to use to describe…

Agreed but maybe a little more context as outlined below, have bolded relevant parts. The term "complete protein" refers to amino acids, the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different amino acids that can form a protein, and nine that the body can't produce on its own. These are called essential amino acids—we need…

Agreed? If you made your diary public you would probably get better suggestions. Protein shakes are a useful and effective way of bumping up your protein intake. Here is a guide to setting up your macros...copy and paste since MFP links seem to be dead at the moment 1g of protein per lb of LBM as a minimum target 0.35g of…

I would recommend supplementing your diet with protein shakes, plenty of vegetarian options out there. Curious as to why you want to limit your carbs though? Will leave a couple of useful links for you... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/819055/setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets/p1…

Here is a bucket load of useful information for you, seriously if you take the time to read the information and apply it in real life you will see great results and get a more optimal usage out of mfp. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/833026/important-posts-to-read/p1

Sorry not accepting FR atm but here is a link for practically all you need to get the most out of using mfp... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

Agreed! Also seek counseling of some sort as you are thirty years of age, the crutch of peer pressure would fly if you were a teenager but you are both an adult and a parent, so it is time to act like one and find other avenues to relieve stress and anxiety eg exercise, yoga, hobbies etc you are only limited by your…

Well I am glad to hear you do not suffer from an ED. FYI:MFP supports recovering ED sufferers but frowns upon its promotion. I am sorry to hear about you having ME/CFS as it is a very complex and difficult illness to treat or even manage. The only advice I can offer is make sure you are getting enough protein in your diet…

Sorry if I am being presumptuous but the fact your user name is "annasuffolk" sends up a red flag for me, as a lot of proana users have anna or in their user name. That and stating you want to reach a well quite low weight range for your height even with a small frame. May I inquire what illness prohibits you from…

It is always best to weigh the ingredients of recipes before you cook them.

Seek counseling and I would recommend incorporating exercise into your routine to stave off boredom and help battle depression. Talk to your MD/psychiatrist about your medication if you think that it has a significant impact.

As mentioned it is an estimate based upon the accuracies of your logging, weight loss is neither linear nor an exact science as your TDEE ((Total Daily Energy Expenditure) will change as you lose weight and also your activity levels will vary as does other contributing factors such as water weight, stomach contents etc

"Easiest way to lose weight!" is really subjective as it boils down to the amount of calories one must consume to be at a deficit, but I am happy for your success and if you feel better for it more power to you.

Um no! maybe just eat out in moderation and try to factor in that there will most probably be a surplus because of it. No reason to become a social outcast at all, a majority of successful members on here enjoy outings to restaurants, Birthdays and other social events. Just limit it to a reasonable amount, once or twice a…

The guy in the video is a bit of a dork who uses a lot of bias pseudoscience in his videos, but this video is a good reference point for negative pullups and pullups. https://youtu.be/mRznU6pzez0

In that case eating at a surplus is perfect for heavy lifting, aids recovery and also fuels your workouts. Good luck!!
