Shin Splint
So I have a shin splint that I initially thought may have been a stress fracture because of the pain, but got an X-ray done and there are no fractures. Can someone help me prevent these from happening again, if they've experienced them before?

Your Pump-Up Song!
Every single time I work out I ALWAYS have to have a song to listen to while I'm doing it. What's yours? I currently find that I don't tire out as fast when I listen to Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons.

Maintaining on Antipsychotics
Is anyone else out there taking antidepressants or antipsychotics and losing/maintaining? I just started taking some, and I am well aware there could be little to a lot of weight gain, so I'll be monitoring my weight as I wish to maintain or at least be at a reasonable weight without it spiraling out of control. I asked my…

Finally Getting Help
This isn't some kind of post where I try to find someone to help me, it's more like something I'm so glad about I want to share. I've struggled with mental illness since I was young in my very early teen years. I only received help once because of my ED, but the underlying issue and cause of it I kept to myself. It's…

How Much Do Cooked Beans Weigh?
So, I've been wanting to have beans for a while, but I don't want to cook just one serving of beans (black eye peas or 15 bean soup beans) because my whole family eats out of the same pot, so we just cook the entire bag. Anyone know what a serving of cooked black eye peas weighs? Or stuff like kidney beans?

Same Calories Different Macros
Wow... I never realized how macros has such a large effect on hunger and satisfaction. I started eating more protein instead of carbs and feel a huge difference. Should I eat the rest of my calorie allowance, or save it for a day I'm hungrier? I log accurately.

Weighing Fruit w/peeling.
When you're logging down fruits/veggies with peelings, do you weigh it with or without the peeling? I weighed a banana this morning with its peeling and it read 154g or something. After removing the peeling it was around 100g. Which entry should I use?

100g of carbs for one meal
First I want to say I don't think carbs are bad, I mean, they're my best friend when it comes to a workout, but do you think it could affect your health in any way to have too many at once? I can have up to 90-100g for breakfast, total I have 250-270 at the end of the day. My diary is open. I am 5'5-5'6, active-very…

Weighing Food
I'm so sorry if there's 1,000 topics like these, but how do you portion out your foods (measuring cups or the scale for grains, meat, liquids, ect.) I've always used the scale for pretty much every solid except for liquids. Do you weigh food when it's unprepared/uncooked? (like dry oats vs. cooked oats).

What Does It Really Mean When You're Hungry
So I generally eat a good breakfast of about 500-600 calories and then after I let that settle I work out. When I'm done I'm like really physically hungry, does that mean that you burned all your calories off or your body used up all the energy from carbs?

Quick, Healthy Snacks
I'm running out of ideas for healthy snacks, I've been eating these apple and almond snacker trays, and some popcorn and my Triscuit thin crisps with hummus. I have other things too, I went out and bought some celery sticks for my hummus, but does anyone know some easy/quick healthy snacking choices?

Weight Fluctuations?
Hmm, so I've noticed I've been having some weight flucuations. How much does your weight fluctuate? I'm wanting to do a little experiment and see right about how much my weight actually fluctuates. I usually weigh between 111-112 as a real weight. But today it was like 115-116. Is this normal? (sorry if that was a dumb…

Whole Grains with PCOS
I've had PCOS for almost 7 years now, and I've always struggled with bloating. I never knew what it was until I looked it up recently. I don't really want to cut whole grains from my diet :/ It's like a staple food for me. What would you do?

Weight Maintaince
Hey, I've used this website for a little but never really posted much. So my goal is to maintain my weight. I also have a few other inquiries. I know MFP keeps saying I'm under my calorie goal, but actually I don't log every little food down, so don't worry I believe I'm eating enough food, plus my idividual needs may be…
