Non-boring chicken recipes?
I have lots of thighs & breasts and my freezer, so I'm looking for some new chicken recipes - lately it's been "same old, same old." My usual go-to's are balsamic reduction; lemon-garlic; terriyaki; or burrito bowls. Getting tired of making the same things over and over, so I'm looking for some new and tasty chicken…

Check my form? Squat, RDL & Lat Pulldown [VIDEOS]
Hello all! Husband and I are new to this whole lifting thing (or at least, new to taking it seriously) and want to check our forms before progressing in weight. Any advice or suggestions are welcome!

Your favorite Probiotic?
I experience chronic, pretty much daily bloating & constipation. Doesn’t seem to be triggered by any specific foods from what I can tell. Never really can get a full bm. I took magnesium for a while, but then it started upsetting my stomach and I noticed I would be nauseous the next day after taking it, so I stopped. BTW…

Off Topic - for moms
Hello all! This is super off topic, but I need suggestions from Moms (and dads)! My work has decided to throw a Baby Fair/Expo and I’m in charge! I have no children yet so this is a completely foreign world to me. Basically we are looking to do an even mix of FUN + educational. Think Babies R Us, Little Red Wagon, but also…

Best leggings?
I am going to start a lifting program soon and I am in need of new leggings that are not see-through! I usually just use cheap Target ones, and they are decent enough for cardio, but don't pass the squat test. It seems like every pair I try on, you can see a panty line, even if they are skin-tone! I have heard from…

Strong Curves - Calories Burned?
I think I have finally convinced myself to start Strong Curves today! But I am wondering how many calories I will be burning? I am by no mean expecting to burn a lot, and I know it’s impossible to be too accurate, but I would like to get at least a rough idea. I do not have a HR monitor unfortunately. For those who do have…

(LADIES) Birth Control?
I hope this is ok to post here, even though it isn't directly diet-related. Hoping my fellow ladies can help me out. My question is, do you have a birth control pill you love (or hate) and what is it? I know that there is no "cure all" and that everyone is different, but at this point, I'm ready to take any and all…

Best (nondairy) dinner recipes GO!!
My parents are all of a sudden coming into town and now I need to make them dinner tomorrow night. My mom can't have any sort of dairy. I'm not the best cook, so something easy and relatively quick is appreciated. What should I make? (Under 600cal for the entire meal please. Also no seafood or peppers.)

Fitbit - calories burned too low?
I have a Fitbit Zip (the lowest tech one) that I got for free from work. But even though my stats are correctly input and I wear it all day, it seems like my "calories burned" on the Fitbit is way too low. Now, I have a desk job and am pretty inactive - about 3-4,000 steps per day - but it still seems too low. It is…

Side dish for chili lime chicken burgers?
What would go well with chili lime chicken burgers for our dinner tonight? (Giant eagle, no Trader Joe's by me unfortunately) They will be topped with avocado - I will probably eat mine bunless and husband will have a bun. I do have a lot of quinoa on hand ... not sure if I can do anything with that?

High-calorie lunch ideas?
Asking for my husband who is trying to bulk. He uses MFP but doesn't use the forums. He is goaled at 3000 calories per day (he's tall, plus has a fairly active job) but seems to fall short often. What are good, easy lunch ideas that pack in the calories? Most of the time we are grabbing lunch on the way out the door, (way…

Ab exercises that are bad-back approved?
Even though I am young and relatively healthy, I have always had a bad back. The vast majority of ab exercises really hurt my back, especially my lower back. What are your favorite ab exercises that won't hurt your back? Can be with equipment or without.

Where should my macros be? 1300 cal
I am a 5'3" female currently weighing in at 120 lbs and 27% body fat. I don't have much weight to lose (want to get back to 110-115 and be more toned). I typically do cardio about 3 days a week. I am on 1300 calories a day (MFP's recommendation). Where should my macros be? I have been logging my foods for about 3 months…

Recipes: Husband bulking & I'm losing weight
I'm currently on a low-calorie (about 1300) diet trying to lose a few more pounds. My husband is doing a lot of weight lifting and trying to bulk up, so he is on a much higher calorie diet (about 3000). We would like to start doing meal prep and cooking more of our own meals, but I'm not sure how to do this since our goals…
