How many Vegetarians/Vegans on here
So the more I learn about Vegetarianism/Veganism the more I think its the way to go. Although I'm not willing to commit to 100% right now I can definitely do 90% vegetarian. I watched Forks Over Knives again yesterday and the more I find out about how meat/animal products just aren't good for us the less appealing they…

BMR and Calories
Okay, I'm sure this has been asked but I need clarification. When I calculate my BMR it is 1527. Isn't this the number you shouldn't eat less than? MFP Is saying to lose 1lb per week my calories are 1300 per day, but that's not even my BMR let alone any activity calories. Should I override MFP? My weight is very stable but…

Woke up at 3am hungry

Or does it mean that I need to eat more? I'm not going to get up at 3am and eat something but just wondering if perhaps I should have a snack before going…

I think I need to plan more snacks into my day. I'm starving around 10:30am/11am and then again aroudn 3/4pm. So thinking that maybe a 200cal snack at both those times would help. Any suggestions?
