  • Looks pretty good to me. But dinner looks pretty small. I would maybe add more protein too. I can only see around 50g a day here (I'm guessing because you didn't add portion size). Maybe try a protein shake or replace dinner with a green smoothie. Just my opinion. If you feel good and energetic eating this, continue eating…
  • I also live at university however, I chose to live at a self-catered residence. So we have kitchens and there is no cafeteria where people make you food. I guess in your situation it would be good if you stocked up on healthy dorm food and bought a bar fridge for your room. I have one and I don't think I could live without…
  • 5'2 here... or something like that. I am 159cm.
  • Last night I made a low calorie rye wrap filled with cottage cheese, spinach, tofu and kimchi. I grilled it and now it's in an airtight container in my bag, ready to be heated up and eaten at any time I like. This can be paired with a greek yougurt tub or a piece of fruit if you are on a higher calorie diet. :)
  • I've been on Implanon for 6 months now, and I've actually lost weight. I wouldn't say this weight loss is associated with the Implanon, but I found no side effects except for the irregular menstruation. However, it does vary from person to person.
  • Americano all the way for me! (espresso + ice + water)
  • Soy protein has the highest estrogen levels in any edible food source, however, it is only damaging if eaten in large quantities and people who are more at risk showing effect from this is pre-menopausal or post-menopausal women. Where in pre-menopausal it can somewhat act as a precursor to early onset puberty, and for…
  • Green tea has actually been associated with weight loss, however there are no peer reviewed studies that I am aware of which confirms this. I drink 2-3 cups a day and have been since I was 16. Love green tea so much. Matcha green tea is my new obsession because the caffeine in it is said to be a 'low GI' caffeine if you…
  • I log everyday. I am from Australia though, not the UK. :( So far I don't have any friends on MFP. Would be good to get some...
  • I personally weigh myself once a day, every morning after I wake up. Usually I will see fluctuations which is expected from daily weighing but I only add my Friday weight every week to MFP dairy. So I weigh everyday for maintenance, but only record once a week for records.
  • Actually fainting spells and low blood pressure can also be a symptom of drinking TOO much water. I fainted and was taken to the hospital once, and they claimed I had drunk so much water I had diluted my salt stores too much to function. And all I had drank was 2L of water in a day.
  • I would be careful with water consumption especially if you drink more than 2L (67oz) of water daily. Your personal water intake is always going to be personal and different to everybody else's. Now I was like everybody else who thought drinking water everyday was healthy and my body needed it, but I found by only drinking…
  • Thanks guys. I think deleting the section is a good idea. As long as I stay within my calorie intake, weight gain will not be a problem. :)
