hormone therapy and metabolism (transgender)
Im 18 years old and transgender (ftm). I’ve been on testosterone for a little over a year and recently I’ve lost a lot of weight. My metabolism has increased, but I’m not sure by how much or what gender to use to calculate my caloric needs. There aren’t enough studies to give an answer. Despite my metabolism increasing, my…

Tried to stop counting
After over a year of meticulously counting calories and measuring my food and weighing myself, I decided it was time to delete mfp. I’ve been maintaining for a long time and have a good understanding of healthy eating and what my body needs. The app was starting to have too much control of my life. I planned my days around…

About a year later
This is about a years progress, down from 165 to 116.8 this morning. I’m proud of myself for sticking to it but feel a bit too scrawny now. I’m on day 2 of some type of bulk/reverse diet type thing. I think I’d be happier if I were up 5-10 pounds. Fat kid syndrome is making me feel a bit guilty as I’ve never tried to gain…

“The Fasting Fatman”
I recently came across a youtube channel called “The Fasting Fatman” with a man claiming he’s 130 days into a water fast. He seems relatively sane and looks mostly healthy so I’m wondering what the deal is. It seems like it has to be fake but the audience is buying it. Thoughts ??

vegetarian at outback steakhouse!!
So I’ve been roped into going to Outback Steakhouse for a friend’s birthday. I’m a vegetarian and I try to eat vegan as much as possible. I’ll eat a little bit of dairy but would feel like absolute *kitten* if I ate an alfredo pasta (the only vegetarian entree menu I’ve found). I’m maintaining on 1600-2000 calories kcal…

How long to wait for weigh in?
Had a rather large cheat day today. Had a light breakfast and light lunch, totaled to about 700 calories. I went to visit family at around 3pm and began snacking. I had a handful of peanut m&ms, and three or four fun size candy bars. I went out to dinner afterwards and had a fully loaded grilled cheese (cheeseburger minus…
