Foot-friendly at home workouts?
I’ve been spraining my ankle a lot recently (going to physio to get it sorted on Monday) but it’s affecting my ability to exercise - I’ve been cleared to lift, but I can’t actually GET to the gym to lift because it requires walking up a cobbled hill, which is no good on an unstable ankle. Obviously I can’t run, either, my…

The Night Muncher
CW: eating disorders After an eating disorder recovery, I didn't count calories for about three years and slowly gained weight to a level that was not acceptable to me. I was bulimic, so I struggled with appetite triggers being out of whack and wanting to binge/purge/starve, but after a few years of not counting calories…

What makes a 'good' cook?
I was skimming through the recent thread about meal prep services (Blue Apron, HelloFresh etc) and saw a lot of people describing themselves as a 'decent cook' or a 'good cook'.

Weird question: where can I find a scale outside my house?
I don't keep a set of scales in my house because of a previous eating disorder, but now that I'm trying to lose a little weight again, I feel it would be useful to be able to weigh myself occasionally to track my progress. Since I don't want to risk bringing scales into my home and introducing obsessive habits again, I was…

In search of Korean recipes under ~500kcal!
I have a real soft spot for Korean food...bulgogi, kimchi jjigae, paejon, japchae...you name it, I love it! Since a lot of my favourite restaurants don't have calories on the menus, though, I was hoping to make some Korean food at home. Does anyone have any low-ish calorie recipes to share? No worries if they're a bit over…

Stupid (?) question: logging activity vs normal activity
Hi, I was wondering when to log activity, and when it is considered part of my daily activity level accounted for by the MFP goal. I log running workouts, for example, although I told MFP I'd be working out 3x/week. Does that mean I shouldn't log them? Similarly, I went for a long (2.5hrs) walk today, which is more than…
