Honestly I think its just as simple as tracking anything at all that you're eating and then adding it all up for the day. The times you eat at won't have any effect at all. Here's something to try though count your WEEKLY calories for a week on the night shift then count weekly calorie intake for a week on the day shift…

Not necessarily my whey is about 130 cals just for the protein not to mention all the other cals required to make this. Furthermore, I know I'm not getting an entire pint of ice cream from a scoop of whey.

It tastes delicious and I eat this stuff ALOT. An amazing way to feel like your cheating when I can eat 2 or 3 of these a day and easily hit my goals through quick food substitution. The only real problem is this stuff is expen$$$ive which is why I've been forced to save it for more reward type things. If it was as…

Support can definitely have a lot to do with it but unfortunately it's all going to boil down to your personal drive and motivation. No body can make you want it if there isn't a burning desire (and I don't mean you just acknowledging the fact that you need to lose weight) in you to make a significant change then more than…

Is it so terrible? No, not so much however the way people use alcohol is and thats where the real problem is. If you're the kind of person that goes out once maybe twice a week to have 2 or 3 drinks with friends it's not going to have any major effects on your goals. Unfortunately most people that enjoy alcohol so much…

Lean cuisines, lean pockets, honestly just check the freezer aisle at the grocery store their packed with pre packaged foods. Just be careful just because something has the word lean or diet in the name doesn't necessarily mean its going to be good for you. For on the go type snacks 100 calorie packs are nice along with…

I know for men in particular going any lower than around 30 grams of fat a day is terrible, and it's at this point where men will start having issues with their testosterone levels. So obviously for women going much lower would have similar bad side effects. I typically calculate mine by taking my bodyweight and using 35%…

Outside of being a diabetic sugar intake is irrelevant. All carbohydrates are and will eventually get broken down into sugar in the body. It's just another common myth that people spread around when really having no basing for the statement. So if it's fitting into your goals, eat as much fruit, milk, yogurt, and whatever…

Seems pretty simple to me if you can honestly say you were sticking to your daily caloric goals and weren't losing, then those limits were set far too high. Try reducing them 100-150 and I can nearly guarantee in 3 weeks you'll have results.

Trying new workouts, adding in different food variations to meet your daily caloric needs. Anything that will add in some variety and spice it up. However it really comes down to your own personal motivation you have to want it that bad if you're truly going to succeed. Same goes for anything thought, I suppose.

Hello welcome to MFP!!

Great weight loss start! Unfortunately I'm in the midwest so wouldn't be of much help on this one. Best of luck on the triathlon though sounds like a great goal put the hard work in and you'll be doing them in no time!

It can definitely be hard I've struggled with this as well you feel like you don't want to waste a whole weeks hard work on one night of binge drinking that may or may not be followed by eating more crappy food. However, I do believe you need to find a balance you should still have a social life and on the other hand your…

Chicken breast sandwich with onions, lettuce, tomato maybe some reduced sugar ketchup. Or chicken breast and a baked potato in the microwave. Quick and easy maybe add in some steamed vegetables to make it complete. Protein shakes are always easy as well use some skim milk to add some carbs and you have a decent meal.

I would say at BARE-MINIMUM you should be hitting 1200 calories I mean that seems extremely slow to begin with but I guess it all depends on your particular body and activity levels. The guy above suggested calorie dense foods which is a great idea but in this extreme measure I'd consider using sweets and other (low sugar…

That sound delicious!! Come make me some pleaseee! :)

Absolutely excellent the only supplements I recommend that I don't believe to be total scams from supplement companies are; multivitamins, fish oil, and protein powders. Anything outside of those 3 are questionable at best. Multivitamins so long as you're using a good one will give you tons of micronutrients you may not be…

Wrap it in tin foil stab some holes through it with a knife set at whatever temp you'd like probably 350-450 and I think its like an hour and a half or so depending on the temp.

Yes I actually use this quite often but not like oh I ate 400 under monday and now on friday I'm going to eat an extra 400. I usually only use this if its within a days period or so. Regardless there's nothing wrong with doing that its all about overall caloric intake. However, if you weigh yourself daily this could prove…

Sure its possible, consistently training muscles and then feeding your body the proper nutrients it needs to repair/rebuild all those muscles can certainly add healthy weight to your physique over time. I honestly think you answered your own question when you said you're still wearing the same clothes, that right there…

Excellent job looking great! Keep up the hard work its definitely paying off!

Chicken breast sandwiches with some lettuce tomato onion on some wheat toast are always a personal favorite. Cut up chicken breast salads just watch what kinds of dressing you use I prefer red vinaigrette. Or some lean other type of lean meat with a baked potato spiced up with some mrs. dash seasonings. My overall favorite…

Your bodies probably in starvation mode 400 calories per day is terrible and you're way under eating.

Well welcome!!

First off common misconception heavier weight is not "better" than light weight the true equilibrium here is finding a weight that challenges you but still allows you to maintain proper form but if you do break form its on the struggle to get that last rep out. Never compromise form for weight if you notice the true…

I'm sorry to hear that do something that will take your mind off the whole situation go for a walk or throw on your favorite movie. The mind is extremely powerful and if this is something you truly want to succeed at you will make it happen. Stretch your calories as far as you can for the rest of the day salads with cut up…

Here's my best solution skip the spin class and turn your weight training session into a circuit/cardio type of workout. Lift at a high intensity never resting more than 30-45 seconds between sets. Push yourself harder and faster (while maintaining proper form) and enjoy the benefits of both!

I also hate when negativity surrounds me in life and although its hard I jus always try to imagine how much worse things could really be. Or I rely on good friends to and remember how much I have to really be thankful for and just ignore the negativity. Any time you or anyone else is in need or wanting motivation don't…

Welcome joanne you've come to the right place MFP is an amazing tool when it comes to dieting/nutrition. Keep us updated with the results were all here to help!

I watch this show too and sometimes I won't lie I get a little jealous that he gets paid to travel the world trying some of the most delicious and unique cuisines. Although I would actually want to enjoy them and not be trying to force them down my throat.
