I've looked for a protein pancake recipe all over the Internet and I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of ingredients some of them required. Does anyone have a recipe they like, that doesn't require more than 5 or 6 ingredients?

Type 2 Diabetes and Ulcerated Colitis
I have a close family member with ulcerated colitis and type 2 diabetes. She is in her 60s and rather thin now, due to the colitis symptoms. Her diabetes was brought on by the low fiber diet she adapted to help sooth the colitis symptoms. The medical professionals she saw were rather unhelpful, saying things like…

How important are Multivitamins and Nutritional Supplements
I currently take a multivitamin that has hair, skin & nail support, immune defense and probiotics, as well as an Omega 3 supplement. I can't say I notice a difference whether I take them or not.

Apparently, for years and years I've had weak ankles and extremely tight calves - the running just tipped me over the edge - and it was painful. The wobbly patellas I've had for years and generally do not bother me until I do high impact exercise. My doctor has said…

Looking for a likeminded community & new ideas
Hi there! I'm not new to calorie counting (see my story in my profile - I lost close to 40 lbs in 2012) but I am fairly new to MFP. I came here after caloriecount.about.com became defunct.

How often do you hit your macros and...
How do you do it? I'm always close-ish but usually over a bit in fat and under more than an bit a protein by just a bit no matter how hard I try. I'm generally only eating whole unprocessed foods. I usually can't hit my protein without a protein supplement. Looking for advice here...

Share your results with different exercise regimens
After a solid month of dedicated yoga practice - and not seeing the toning that I was looking for - I returned to calisthenics, a little ballet, and weights. Lo and behold, two days into a different regimen and I can see the difference in the mirror (more tone, flat) and on the scale (dropped 1lb). #everybodysdifferent Is…
