i think it really depends on you and your body but i would say eat the most at breakfeast and lunch and go lighter on the dinner, or for example i usually eat around 1600 a day so i keep my snacks around 100-200 and the rest around 400 calorie meals Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

first lets just nip this in the bud right now there is nothing you cannot have if you think this way you will fail, this is a lifestyle not a diet and as long as you portion your foods out and exercise you can eat whatever you want. remember you have to be able to eat like this forever this is a lifestyle change so if you…

i also eat crunch masters and they are awesome get them at sam's club two bags in a box about 8 bucks and i divide them up in little ziplock bags 15 in each as she said 140 calories and they also taste yummy without anything

OK, this will be long. Please read it if you are confused. Disclaimer: I am not a dietician or a doctor, just a successful loser and maintainer, who has consulted both doctors and dieticians. Question #1: Should I eat all my calories? Yes. MFP is already figuring a deficit for you to lose weight. This deficit is based on…

well i will say on some points i agree with the origional poster however, some people do log in cleaning but lets just point out that some people really do clean meaning moving furniture, lugging a heavy carpet cleaner around doing all the carpets etc bottom line i would have to say you are burning calories, i mean it…

personally i think the scale is your enemy lol, i know we need to check to see our progress however do not make it your life, i do the same thing sometimes and it drives me crazy. i have to step back and say its just a number and your working on getting healthier. first i can say on any given day i am 2-6 pounds heavier…

i steam chicken all the time with a rub from mrs dash called garlic and herb no msg and steam for about an hour if frozen very moist also salmon is good, i even tried burgers too

i wish i had your guys problem if i dont eat about 1500 a day i will probably kill someone i get very edgy and irritated and frankly i am starved i exercise a lot and there is only very few times when im not able to eat 1500. but i really can't complain since i have lost 34 pounds and it has stayed off. as far as the…

I AGREE WITH THIS QUOTE SO MUCH I HAVE LOST 34 POUNDS AND WEIGH 165 I AM 5"7 I WANNA BE 130 I AM MUSCULAR AND WHEN PEOPLE HEAR I WANNA LOSE MORE THEY SAY WHY YOU LOOK GREAT NOW BUT WHEN I SAY THANK YOU BUT IAM 165 AND WOULD LIKE TO BE AT A HEALTHIER WEIGHT OF 130, THEY SAY I WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT YOU WERE LIKE 140-150…

I EAT CHOBANI YOGURT I LOVE IT PINEAPPLE STRAWBERRY AND BLUEBERRY ARE MY FAV'S ABOUT 160 CALORIES PER 60Z CUP

i have them for walking, at work i can't say they improve your butt and legs but i can say it improves posture i have less back pain after 12 hours of work than i used to and they are very comfortable well worth the money, like walking on sand.

i have cut back my sodium by eating amish chicken as it is fresh and not injected with the sodium broth like tyson, i believe it has a like 63mg sodium but compared to tyson sodium of 230 for 3-4 0z thats better, i have managed to stay under my sodium most times, its the sugar i always go over, i try to stick to fruits but…

thanks everyone for all your comments, i guess when i post things i should be detailed more and say what i am really thinking, i guess i just thought everyone would see where i was coming from, sorry to have made anyone upset, i really just wanted people to feel like this is a lifestyle not a diet. a crucial difference…

i realize that i guess i should have been more detailed when i wrote this being my point was to make people realize they dont have to say i can never have this again if i want to lose weight if we realize that calories are calories then we will know that we just need to control ourselves and occasional splurge or two will…

for those of you upset about this post you need to read between the lines the point was not to make people eat whatever they want is was to let them realize that it is okay to eat what you want as long as you are smart about it and portion it out because no one should deprive themselves. i agree eating healthier calories…

thanks

sorry to get people in a tizzy it was really meant to just simply state you can eat what you want you just have to portion it out many people believe they can never have any junk again or give themselves any kind of reward, its good to know you can sometimes have your cake and eat it too

it seems as though many people on here are deathly afraid of protein. extra protein in your diet is not going to hurt you especially if you work out. you need it. i get 90-100g a day by the way and have seen amazing results from my diet and routine. i have lost 31 pounds so far.

very good job explaining things

i hear you as well i weigh 165 right now and although i lost 30 pounds i too have that problem i am 5"7 so not obese i am very muscular and it hurts. i have to put goldbond powder before i leave work and exercise or i will get chaffing as well.

beware of the laughing cow cheeses they are low in calories however each wedge contains 210 mg of sodium you have about 2-3 of those and you will be over your salt limit with all your other meals

i agree i go over my protein every day by atleast 20-30 points, i eat a lot of chicken fish protein bars eggs etc, it is not very hard at all

pure protein shakes and the bars are excellent. the shakes pack in about 170 calories 3 sugars and about 35 protein, the bars are 180-200 calories and 20 g protein 3 sugar. not alot of carbs either

I think it is only natural to be a bit intimidated but i lift and i do in front of the guys and actually one day one of them came up to me and asked if i could talk to their gf about lifting because she was afraid to bulk up and they respected that i was not afraid to do some strength training. they always help me when i…

well i am not a professional but have gone through your pain i only now just realized for me what was best, first i have an iphone so i started the couch to 5 k which really helps because it builds you up, and you must must must stretch before and after or you will be sorry, and your shins will let you know. do every other…

i have the iphone as well and if it wasnt for the iphone i would have never found this app, i love it and like you said its like a personal notepad. i have lost 30 pounds so far and looking to lose 30 more. good luck to you

unfortunately mfp does not give you the calories for this type of exercise but you can go to this site see what it s for weightlifting i usually pick the light one and then i just hand enter it under my cardio exercises http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc/calculator.cgi

very hard to say because for example i lost 30 pounds and thought i could get into this dress i had bought awhile ago and well lets just say it did not happen i could not zip the dress due to my back has become wider with the swimming and pullups and muscle training i have been doing as well as some other things. so even…
