Keep falling off the wagon. Help?
I've been on mfp for years and I've been in maintenance for years as well (+/- 5 pounds). Recently I've noticed that I've been giving into my urges to binge a lot more than I used to. I just binged over a week ago for 5 days straight. Then I decided to go on a 1200 calorie diet that was refined sugar free, vegan, gluten…

Why are most mfp users against holistic nutrition?
I'm 2 months into a holistic nutrition program and I can't help but question some of the things I'm learning. I've been on mfp for several years and I've learned quite a bit on here, but a lot of the information on mfp contradicts the information I'm learning in school. People think everything from a holistic standpoint is…

Addicted to energy/protein bars
Recently, I've become addicted to larabars, quest bars, clif bars and other so called "healthy" energy bars. Some of them are loaded with sugar which is one reason why I find it hard to stop at one. Most days I have one or two bars, but I've been missing out on real home-cooked meals simply because I don't have much time…

Will eating over maintenance once a week cause weight gain?
I'm 5'4, 115 pounds and I'd consider myself sedentary. I eat 1500 calories per day, but I work out 3-4x a week and average 10 000 steps on my rest days. If I eat 2000 calories once a week, would this lead to weight gain?

Binged for 4 days straight! How much weight will I gain
Calorie estimates Thursday: 3000 cal Friday: 3000 cal Saturday: 2250 Sunday: 3000 cal My maintenance is 1550-1600 calories Before I binged, I weighed 112 pounds. How much true weight will I gain? And is it safe to do a 40 hour water fast just to cleanse my body after binging so much?

Calories and macros not adding up. Help?
I decided to calculate the amount of calories I ate based on my macros to see how accurate MFP is. I did (total grams of carbs X 4) + (total grams of fat x 9) + (total grams of protein x 4) and the result did not match my calorie total for the day. Example: I had 1,464 calories in total. My macros look like this -> Fat:61…

My struggle with binge eating is destroying my life and my mom is only making things worse. Help?
I'm 5'4 and weigh 115-117 pounds. I'm also 21 years old and still live with my parents. When I was 17, my mom pointed out my big butt and told me to do something about it. I was 119 pounds and 5'4 at the time. It made me feel bad about myself so I decided to count calories (on MFP) and exercise to lose weight. It worked…

Binged after going 4 weeks binge-free. How to get back on track?
I binged and ate around 3000-4000 calories today. I feel horrible especially since I've ruined a 4 week streak. How do I get over the guilt and start fresh tomorrow? I've been thinking of fasting for 36 hours to reset my taste buds. Any thoughts?
