Perils of vacation. Stress or not?
Going no away for 5 days to Disney with family coming off me losing 14 pounds and being right where I want. That said trying to eat clean every meal is going to be hard. I am bringing some nuts and protein bars with me so I don't snack. But how much leeway can I give myself for meals? I don't want to eat crap but I don't…

That said is its okay to have a 5 day break from lifting? I thought I could use this time off to rest and then start a brand new routine when I return.…

Negative calories?
Anyone know why my diary started taking calories away from me for walking? I synch with FitBit and for instance this morning I walked 1700 Steps. Just standard walking bit when I logged in breakfast it says my daily goal should be minus -170. Why am I losing calories the more I move?

Protein water
Curious if anyone has tried this? I'm sorry I forgot the brand. But it's 20 grams of whey protein isolate. No sugar and 80 calories.

Protein shake. Before or after gym?
Pre or post workout? I workout after work in evenings. So I can't make them in my office. I prefer to have them at night as they fill a snack role as well for me.

Protein Shake hack?
Trying to gain more protein in my diet. I've always had a difficult time with protein shakes. The consistency and taste was never for me. I love Quest bars so I just tried their whey protein powder. It was bad but I mixed it with 8 ounces of water and an enlightened bar (of same flavor) and found it to have a much closer…

Beer of Whiskey?
What's better to have whiskey, straight. Maybe 6-7 oz. 8 max. Or 3-4 dark porters. Definitely not light beer so in assuming whiskey would be less calories but just making sure. Thanks

Can't reach calorie goal
Has anyone had trouble reaching daily calorie goals? My daily intake is 1850 and I have had about 1100 so far and I am not hungry. Which is odd. Should I eat a protein bar or something?

Cheat day???
today was the first day in a month I've given myself a cheat day. Not so much a day, but a meal. I had 3 large scoops of ice cream and sprinkles. I will admit it was amazing and glorious. But right after I felt guilty and in my mind I feel like I am really fat and just gained back the 9 lbs I lost. I just want to hear how…
