I know for a lot of people this is a time when they want chocolate and what not but for me I get seriously nauesous and can hardly eat. Anyway, my question is what healthy foodd do you find easy on the tummy? I a,…

Has anyone ever done an elimination diet?
For the past 20 years, I've had stomach issues that flair up out of nowhere about once every couple months. When it happens, I can't eat anything seasoned- even ginger which is supposed to be good for stomachs will make me throw up. I can't have anything cold or hot. Right now, the only things I can eat are plain potatoes,…

Increased/ravenous appetite after prolonged calorie restriction?
Hey guys so about a year ago I started consciously tracking my calories and over 1 year I lost the 20 pounds I’d gained as well as 10 extra pounds I didn’t expect to lose. Most of that weight loss was in the first 6 months and then it got very slow after that but the point is that i successfully got down to 126 pounds at 5…

Do you take days off of tracking?
Okay guys so I’m a goal weight and just working on recomp now and I’ve realized that I absolutely never take a day off tracking even though I have a super good idea of portions and food at this point. I think yes just become apart of my routine! Out of curiosity, does anyone take days off of tracking? I’m considering…

Calorie goal randomly adjusted for tomorrow?
Hey guys if you go to my diary, it’s open, you will see that the next few days all have an altered calorie goal of 1960 instead of 1710. I checked my settings and there are no custom goals, I have my activity on not very active and my calories on maintain. Any idea why this would be happening?

Woah, why is Fitbit calorie adjustment so high ?
On my garmin devic, about 3k steps relatively quickly would give me about 60 calories whereas with my new Fitbit charge I'm getting 180 for the same number of steps. That must be off. Does this have something to do with the heart rate monitor? I have been cooking all day and it's been saying "fat burning mode," even though…

Fitbit steps not showing up
Hey guys! I recently switched from garmin to Fitbit and though the app shows as connected the step count is showing as zero. As per advice online, I disconnected the apps, logged out of both, logged back and and reconnected but still the step count says zero. Any thoughts? Thank you!!

Weight gain when switching to maintenance calories ?
So I hit goal weight and actually really happy with how I look. I've been doing a bit more excercise than usual but mostly cardio so I doubt it would be my muscles retained water but in the last two weeks, I have gone up about three pounds since making this switch. Is this water weight that will come off or is there some…

logging when you don't have measurements or nutritional information?
So I had a wonderful day out with my family at a vegan Asian cafe and had a bunch of amazing food. I had such a great time and obviously have no regret for going over my caloric goal as it's something I only do every so often When I went to log it though, I realized that this was probably the most guessing I've had to do…

GIRLS ONLY~ Hunger during that time of the month?
Do you ladies experience increasing levels of hunger during your time of the month? Not even cravings, just wanting more food lol.

Calorie goal change. Freedom or guilt?
So guys, I've recently gotten to goal weight (though I'd still like to tone up,) and at 5 foot 8, 130 pounds, i went through a really really terrible time and have since moved house. Under the circumstances I was encouraged to switch to maintenance calories and omg guys- I feel so free. Just being able that eat at…

Junk food relapse...
So due to some personal issue that have been going on with my health and long term relationship, I've recently moved spaces and it's now less convenient and less appealing to cook whole food meals. Weirdly I have not gained weight. I've actually still been losing, albeit slower. I'm pretty much at goal weight at 5 foot 8…

What do you do when you're sick?
I'm very sick (and yes, I know why. I've been to the doctor but I'd rather not discuss it on here) and since I've bee sick I've actually been eating A LOT of food and smoothies. My weight hasn't gone up or anything but I'm pretty sure that's because I'm throwing up. I scared that I'll start developing these really bad…

9.9k steps, only added 4 excercise cals?
How can I fix my garmin auto connection? It registers that I did 9.9k steps but it only gave me 4 excercise cals. VERY WEIRD

A break from tracking is sometimes OKAY
I think it's okay to take a little tracking break once in a while. I took 9 days off recently and I actually lost just as much weight as I usually do. I didn't do this to lose, to gain, to maintain... I did it because my mind told me that a week off would be okay. I didn't use it as an excuse to binge. I just ate the same…

Days where you hardly eat? Do you purposely make up calories?
When I wasn't tracking, I would always have the random day where I hardly ate and never thought much of it but now, being that I am in a conscious caloric deficit, I can visually see the days where I drastically undereat. Yesterday was one of those days. When this happens to the rest of you, do you consciously add some…

Do you gain weight in body recomp?
Okay so I'm pretty much at my goal weight but I really want to get into the shape that I should be in for the weight that I'm at ( 5 foot 8, about 130,) and I don't mind water retention from working out but I want to avoid putting on fat while I gain muscle. What's my best option here? How do I set up a recomp? Never done…

Weirdly addictive foods or beverages?
I've noticed that I have certain foods that I just can't eat in moderation! of course this makes sense for my favourite desserts, chips and oily meals but some of my addictive foods are very weird! I've noticed that I can't keep bananas in the house I'll eat a whole bunch in one day. Similarly, I have a hard time resisting…

Hungrier as you get thinner?
I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. I used to eat around 1200 calories a day and be totally full to lose 20 pounds at a pretty reasonable rate. About 2 pounds a week for the first 5 and then 1 pound a week after that. Now that I am 135 and 5 foot 8, I actually am hungrier eating the same food and tend to need…

Unexplained weight loss???
Hey guys, so I had surgery a week and a half ago that required general anesthetisia. It was not a weight loss surgery, just to be clear. Following the surgery, I have not worked out and can not for 6 weeks. I was eating the exact same food and still am, but I was on 4 different meds up until 3 days ago. I put on 8 pounds…

Does it make a difference what you go over your caloric goal with?
I know that calories in vs calories out is true but thefe are several things that can impact your calories out so obviously, the stats we use here are just good estimates and not absolutes. I personally believe, from what I'm learning in school for nutrition, that different calories can have different impact on the body…

Drinking calories?
How do you guys feel about drinking calories? I have been avoiding them for the most part because of the calories and the fact that they don't fill me up. I've found they make me hungry. I just had some almond milk after a long time without drinking any calories and it made me super hungry. Everything but water does that…

How slow does the last 10 vanity pounds come off?
Okay so I lost at least 20 pounds (I didn't actually weigh myself at my heaviest so I'm not really sure, ) really effortlessly at the expected rate of about 1 pound a week. I was at the top end of my bmi in the healthy range ( maybe a bit over) and now I'm at a bmi of about 21 with a height of 5'8" and a weight of around…

Should I stay in a calorie deficit post-surgery ?
Okay so I'm 5"8, about 135-138pounds, and I'm eating around 1300 calories and slowly losing (from my high of about 155?.. maybe more idk) down to my happy weight of 125-128. Well, I'm having a general anesthetic for a pretty serious cosmetic procedure and I should be expected to be in bed during the first week, and not…

Different bathroom scales give different results?
So I haven't been weighing myself other than at the doctors, since I go every month, ( I don't own a scale) and have a general idea that I'm around 135-138 pounds at 5"8. Well I'm staying at my families place and they happen to have two different scales. I weighed myself in the same thing on both scales one after the other…
