Protein Powder
Any budget friendly protein powder recommendations ? I'm planning on trying to eliminate dairy from my diet to see if my ezcema improves as we had remarkable results doing this with my son. A lot of my intake is usually from dairy products so I'm looking for something to help me with the transition.

Banking calories when at 1200
I'm currently set to 1200cals for 9ish more pounds. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to eat 1100 6 days a week and 1800 1 day a week? I wasn't sure if this was an issue since I'm set so low already and do not want to do this if it will cause more muscle loss. Info: Height: 5'3 Sw: 290 Cw: 214 Gw: 130 & revaluate as I get…

Knee Injury
I was using the machine at the gym that you put your feet under the pad and lift the weight up with your legs (forget the name of it). During this I noticed my left knee suddenly hurt and I looked down to see I had accidentally placed it further to the left than I intended so form is likely what caused this injury but I'm…

Pregnancy After Years in a Deficit
What are your thoughts on getting pregnant after maintaining a deficit for 2+ years? Are there any legitimate sources that discuss this topic and any associated risks? The reason I ask is because my husband & I have two children, both within the last 3 years and it'll take me at least a few years total to reach goal weight…

Maintaining muscle
Talk to me about maintaining some muscle mass while in a long term calorie deficit. Will meeting my protein goal daily and doing a full body lifting routine 3x a week do this? I know I'll lose some but I'd like to make recomp easier when I'm done losing. What is the best way? I'm set to 2 pounds a week and would like to…

Need more fiber
How do you reach your fiber goal for the day? I'm finding it very difficult to reach my goal and stay within calories. I read avocados were pretty fiber rich so I'm going to get some. Are fiber supplements and bars as good as naturally fiber rich foods? I read that only 5% of Americans get enough fiber in their diets!

Knees killing me.
I'm on day 39/90 of free work out videos on youtube (Bikini Body Mommy 5.0) and for the past few weeks my knees always hurt and pop constantly and harder than they used to. (Even at night I'll straighten my legs and they'll crack/pop). This work out has lunges and squats so I suppose it's probably a lot on my knees. Will…

Eating back calories
How many calories do you eat back? I've heard to eat back half of exercise cals. Is this correct? I have a fitbit charge HR if that matters. Thanks :)

Dermatitis & food
Does anyone here deal with dermatitis on their scalp and forehead? Since I've had my boys I'm dealing with this and am wondering if eliminating something from my diet might help? Didn't know where else to post this question so I hope this is okay :)

Amount of food
Is anyone else that is relatively new to calorie counting shocked at the sheer amount of food you can eat when you choose more nutritional foods? Just made what's seems to be the biggest Tuna Avocado sandwich ever at only 385 cals weighed out! Side note: idk why my phone capitalized the food items

Calorie tracker on charge hr
I have the charge HR. Obviously I use MFP and I usually enter exercise manually but decided to sink up for the day and see what happened. 3,657 steps. I did a work out video as well today while wearing fitbit. Estimated calorie burn was 728 which of course puts me at a large calorie deficit. I'm struggling to believe this…

Restaurant Salads
Do the restaurant salads (chickfila, McDonalds, Wendy's, KFC, etc) on MFP include dressing in the calorie count or do I need to add that on top of what's listed?

Starting with a high BMI
Those who started with a high BMI and pretty non active lifestyle, help! Do you recommend easing into exercise and focusing more on calorie deficit or jumping into high intensity (for my size) work outs? I'm wondering if I should continue with what I'm doing which is walking 1 mile a night and yoga class once a week or if…
