^^^ THIS!!! I actually encourage new users to hide the other columns so the only thing they see is calories. Once that is under control and they can hit the calorie goal for a week or two, then it's time to add in macros. Sodium falls in there somewhere but I wouldn't worry about that. Short version is above BMR, below…

The military screws up running. After 15 years in the military I quit running for them and tried running for me. Now suddenly I love running. So check the ego, don't worry about pace, distance, or time, and just go check out the length of the beach, or the local park. When you're done, you're done. No time, no stress, and…

Watch out, mind blowing concept about to happen. Eat at maintenance for your goal weight. Now you don't have to worry about when to taper. you lose bigger when you weigh more, and then you even out as you approach goal. Now you may have to tweak a little on the way, but it's actually that simple. Please keep in mind that…

Would you rather be addicted to coffee or headaches? Just asking... That being said, my wife has SEVERE migraines (3 day hospital stay migraines.) Dr. fixed her up nicely will meds that fixed it. You might want to see your doc.

Where's the rule about lifting weights? OH WAIT! Cardio king FTW!

No No No... re-incorporating coffee will cure headaches. Seriously? I get dieting, but I would rather give up body parts than my morning coffee!

Having recently performed a few studies (limited mostly to scanning just about every thread on MFP) I have discovered that nearly every negative side effect of dieting will be linked to a gluten intolerance. Please everybody, cut gluten out of your diet and you will get married, have lots of babies, and live happily ever…

I do weigh myself every morning. (Usually before and after wakeup potty break, cause I"m still a little kid inside knowing I peed 1.2 lbs makes me giggle). That being said, I only measure in lbs. I ignore the tenth part of the scale, and I only log a new weight if I see it two days in a row. From there I just keep looking…

Why were you videotaping me on my run yesterday?

WRONG! It was your fault! Cheesecake was not the mistake! Cheesecake is never the mistake! Blame alien mind control. Lack of self control, or even the government, but NEVER BLAME CHEESECAKE! The only thing more awesome than cheesecake is Chuck Norris, but that's only because he invented cheesecake.

Hot, Frequently, and All Day Long! Just the coffee. No additives, no sweetening, no mixing or cutting. Maybe just a pinch of salt if it's a really good strong cup. Other than that, Coffee when I wake up. Drink until I get off work. Switch to beer. Drink till I go to bed. Repeat.

LEAVE HIM NOW! Pack you bags, get out, and let the poor guy find a secure understanding woman. Don't ruin his life any more with your personal insecurities and clingy ways. Poor Guy.

Yup. It's after 5. I'm having a beer! -this after I asked what time it was 2 timezones ahead of us.

I live in Southern California. I sweat out enough water and minerals that I need the extra sodium! (OK, maybe not really.) In all honesty since I am a runner, I just hid the sodium column in the food settings. I really don't care about it because I do sweat alot of it out running in 85-90* weather. So the added sodium…

I just choose to hold my breath the whole time. Makes for a faster run! However, in honesty, just inhale. I tend to be a mouth-breather, whilst my old running partner inhaled through his nose and exhaled through his mouth. The biggest thing isn't how you breath, but when you breath. Find a rhythm. Somebody mentioned 2:2. I…

I do, but I really like to do it before the morning pee, then afterwards! This morning I lost 1.2 lbs in 2 minutes!

Also equally important, if you're eating less that your BMR you're going to be HUNGRY! and you can hurt yourself for the future. Pick a goal (50lbs, maybe 15lbs) Eat at the TDEE for that weight for a while, then once you get close to it, pick your next goal. Yes your weight loss might be a little slower, but it'll be…

I can tell you that at 5'10, 175 my BMR is like 1800. So you are definitely eating too little. That being said, I will tell you to eat at a goal that you choose, but don't drop below your BMR or you're just losing muscle in addition to your fat.

Please, don't worry about the lack of coordination in your life, the headaches, the rotting skin falling off your body. Just stop eating gluten and it will all be better. so said MFP M.D. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! Check with your doc

^^^ THIS!

two tips that I can think of right off. (Neither involving fast food) 1. Mentioned above, just precook everything for the week or so you will be traveling and keep in cooler or such. 2. I don't think you've yet said if you drive or fly, but if driving it's not alot more room to just toss a small george foreman or electric…

still curious to at least know what the four hours of exercise was.
-
But I thought free-range was supposed to be healthier!??!!? I am so confused!
-
You do realize that cooking it until it browns IS altering the food right? So right there we have a clean... err... clear inconsistency already.

Would ratburgers be considered eating dirty? Or do we wash them first so we can eat clean?

I found this quote from Stallone "OK, this may be bordering on the grotesque, but the way it was explained to me by the writer is you hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape what’s left with the third. You asked for it…. Be careful what you ask for, sorry. "
