Logging homemade foods?
Hi all. I've gotten really into making my own sourdough and yogurt and various other foods but I'm not sure how to log them? Should I find something comparable or do I need to create a recipe for each thing I'm making? If I create a recipe, how do I log the starter for the sourdough and yogurt? I've stopped tracking my…

Non meat protein
Hi, Trying to cut down my meat consumption and realizing that my protein is consistsntly low. Having a hard time finding non meat options that offer the same “bang for your buck” as meat does in regards to protein per calorie. And I don’t like soy-based meat replacements, so no tofu or tempeh for me.

summer shred?
Hello all. It's been a minute since I've been on here. I lost ~30 lbs a couple years ago using MFP to track food and activity. I stopped tracking as diligently over the last year, started eating more intuitively and enjoyed living in a place with good food and beer. I've gained a bit of the weight I lost back, but it's not…

exercising with sciatica
I've been dealing with what I believe is some sciatic nerve pain the last week. I'm going to a chiro on Monday to get check out and have used this whole week as a rest period but would like to start upping my activity again. I'm assuming my usual weight lifting schedule is probably not a good idea so I'm looking for…

Soft in the middle
I’m getting down close to my goal weight (5-10 more lbs) and am really happy with how I’m looking...except for my stomach. I hold most of my weight there and new this would be a problem area, but while I’m seeing a big difference in my arms and legs, my midsection still seems quite soft. I am unsure if it’s simply a lack…

Protein
Just curious as to how MFP calculates how much protein you need and how big a deal it is if you eat over. I saw somewhere that it's not a huge deal if you eat over as your body will just excrete it in urine or whatever but I don't know how valid that is. After logging all my food I plan on eating today, I was well over the…

creative quinoa recipes?
I accidentally made WAY too much quinoa for my lunches this week. Looking for some creative recipes to use it in as I don't eat enough rice to just sub it in for that. Any suggestions are welcome :) it's yellow quinoa, if that matters.

calorie counting and food guilt
I've always had some issues with food guilt. I'd treat myself to a milkshake or some other treat and immediately feel bad about the fact I was eating it. I just recently started using MFP and tracking calories and while it was helpful at first, I'm starting to feel some of that food guilt creeping back in. I start feeling…

Cardio that isn't running
I've been lifting weights for about 2 months and am LOVING IT and am looking to add in some cardio to my routine. My gym is pretty limited on equipment; we have 2 treadmills, an elliptical, weights, and hardly any room. Not to mention I absolutely DESPISE running. So if anyone has some fun, non-running cardio that I can do…
