my personal experience is if i run right when i wake up its on an empty stomach with icecoffee or water if i wait awhile after getting up to go running i really need something in my stomach.

I think sardines have a lot of calcium AND VITAMIN D BOTH. (its in their tiny edible bones).

I drink a large ice-coffee i make from fresh brewed or sometimes i add instant coffee crystals to icewater. its not that bad :) i add 0 calorie truvia sweetener sometimes but I like it black too. 2 of these before 90 cardio workout every day.

pack them away. i myself am a clothes-hoarder. so i wont tell you to get rid of them. but if they are laying around and you have something to wear after gaining a few pounds back that could be bad. its better to have none of your clothes fit and alert you that you need to cut back on calories. wearing your old heavy…

If men don't like you because of your size, its because you are into men who like women that are not your size. If you want men to like the size you are then you have to find men who are into that size. to be perfectly blunt, looks do mater. but you can be popular at any size, as long as you pursue the type of man who…

do you expect to exercise a lot? it depends on this. if you don't want to exercise a LOT then start with less like .5 or 1 if you like to work out you can do 2 pounds per week. i do 2 pounds per week but i like to eat a lot and i burn off the extra calories.

pick your battles. organic for some things and conventional for others. mushrooms should always be organic. do your own research be your own guide. pick and choose. thats what i did.

On these lets-get-fit-shows they go thru the persons cupboard and throw out 50 boxs of "bad" food. its horrifying. how many food shelves would accept that donation?? i hear u.

if someone is OK with being fat and knows the health risks its fine with me. Guess what? I love to drink alcohol! is that wrong? someone go ahead and write a disparaging article about me. Ill take it to the bar with me and have a laugh. No ones perfect. SHOCK!!! HORROR!!! AMAZEMENT!!!!

There are rules on re-feeding people who are starving. carbs, fats, and proteins not being equal. however, trying to lose weight is about calorie deficit. bananas are good for you.

i work out in the eurly mornings so that i can eat a bunch of food late at night right before bed. unhealthy things like cheese pizza and television. It seems to me that resting or sleeping after a heavy meal is normal. its what cats do right?

well i can tell you last time i went out to eat i didnt mind the high calories but i was not thrilled about having to do treadmill for 30 minutes to burn off the little cup of ketchup i used on my 500 calorie frenchfries. cut calories around the edges think once think twice dont use ketchup.

i think its a gender thing try different brands of clothes im a man and don't have hips none of my pants fit after only 15 pound loss. even some of my belts had to be replaced. its not a lack of weightloss its the clothes or your skeleton and being female shape.

you can drink crystal lite its all synthetic chemicals but low calories like 10 per packet which is a pitcher of liquid. you can drink coffee its about 5 calories a cup you can make herbal ice teas. there are dozens of flavors. you can drink icecoffee you can drink low call fruit juice like watermellon juice you can drink…

your post seems mean spirited and angry.

Yes you can't spot reduce its true like others said but.. there are some foods that seem to make it worse for some people. Do you drink beer? I've read that in some people beer will you more of a belly then something else for the same number of calories.

in the film documentary FED UP it said juice even orange juice is bad because the sugar hits your bloodstream instantly and its bad for your liver. it also said that the sugar grams per day is set high because of political pressure and should be less than 50g per day which is a lot less than one of the smoothies you posted.

my issue is that people plug their own ipod into the sound system of my gym and blast level eleven max volume music that i have no interest in hearing.

deconstructing it and then adding the ingredients seperatly works well if you can tell whats in it. I deconstructed some sushi once and it was like 500 calories more than "taki spicey salmon roll" was in the MFP database.

2 servings of fat-free cottage cheese is only 160 calories. or 80 for one serving. I usually eat 1 or 2 servings for breakfast I think that the dairy is more filling than carbs like special K. (which I have tried too). My breakfast looks like this for 180 calories max: 1-2 servings of fat-free cottage cheese 1 large ice…

1. Noobs to lifting or former fit people who get back into lifting after a long break can have some minimal gains in the beginning but they are short lived. 2. Fat loss causes muscle to show through more which results in people "thinking" they gained mass. Also existing muscles get harder/firmer. 3. As a man, you are not…

im a man on a 1200 calorie a day diet with MFP ive lost 20 pounds so far I lost 2 pounds per week as MFP promised then I started lifting weights in my profile there is a few pound upward spike thats where I started lifting weights I am gaining muscle on 1200 calories a day I am a man but im also 42 years old This is my…

i've lowered my goal weight two times since starting MFP. speaking for myself I didnt know how I would look at different lesser weights. remember as you break down fat you can built up with muscle in areas you want to fill out. to get a look you want. i think thats important to remember. congrats on your progress!

You look better in the now picture than the before picture. even if 10 pounds doesnt jump out, you DO look better.

i never did before either and i was afraid id trip and fall down. I do elliptical trainer in a fitness room alone. Im working my way up to actually running by practicing on elliptical trainer. maybe that would work for you too.

Thank you for the formula for things I eat often, I will take your advice and make a custom food. I often just do the math and enter as "quick calories" because my phone is 7 years old and it takes ages to use MFP database. (also the amounts I want to eat arnt in the dropdown list and so I have to do math anyway to modify…
