Diary help? I am so so hungry!
Heya, I have just started trying to lose and gone from eating around 2000 (and basically what I want as I wasn't logging well and haven't for a few months) down to 1750. I am using TDEE -15% assuming I exercise about 5 times a week. I haven't been exercising at all as I am caught up with studies, so this is my total intake…

Looking for buddy to stay accountable with during cut?
Heya, I have decided to try and 'cut' over the next 6 weeks or so before doing bulking, and have started to eat at TDEE-15% which is about 1750 a day. Is there anyone else out there trying to cut who loves eating a lot like me and finds it difficult? Would be great to have a partner so we can make each other accountable! I…

NSV for someone who didn't have so much to lose!
Heya MFP, I will quickly tell the story first for those who don't want to read too many details! About a week ago I met up with some friends who I hadn't seen since October last year. They were visiting the city I live in now. The first thing one of them said was 'wow have you lost weight? Can definitely tell on your face,…

Are soft drinks/pop really OK?
So, I have been against soft drinks for years now... and there are some avid, soft drink supporters on this site. There is apparently nothing bad, they are all good (fitting your allowance of course) and everyone should be happy and stop saying they are bad for you. Well, this is what MFPers tend to argue anyway. Please…

Ladies - it's TOM and...

Trouble with eating enough cals - healthy suggestions
Hey there :smile: So I have upped my intake to 1400 a day (was on 1200 for a while). Before I get the posts about it being bad for my metabolism, let me tell you that mine is already slow. I have hypothyroid and I won't go into details, but it's very confusing for me to argue with Drs (apparently their textbook says…

Why do you think soy is good or bad?
Hey, So I'm just starting this topic (do link me if it already exists, I searched but got nothing). There are some people on these forums that add soy to the list of bad things 'it contains sodium, soy and gluten - no thanks'. I had always thought it was just good, and heard strange rumours it's not so good for guys..…

frustration with partner's weight always being less! *vent*
So there is me - calorie counting and exercising a lot, finally lost a bit of weight and feeling good! Gained a bit of muscle in my legs and shoulders from snowboarding but I feel so happy! But then I Skype my boyfriend who has just had some major surgery on his elbow, and he has noticeably lost weight. I have only been…

Logging 'food preparation?' /rant
Hey, so as I warned this is a rant... I want your opinions on this. I have seen people logging food preparation, washing dishes, even 2mins walking up stairs. Is this getting a bit ridiculous? I see those everyday actions as being part of my net personally. Should I log it every time I use the bathroom? And add extra…

my outcomes of going gluten-free...
Hey guys, So I have been *mostly* gluten free for the past month. No bread, no pastas, no pizza. I have changed my diet in a few other ways by also avoiding red meat more and adding more chia seeds, sunflower seeds and upping protein. I am not intolerant to anything, no allergies. I still have sauces (some of which have…

Need a hand with macros please...
Hey, So I've been trying to improve my diet over the past say 3 weeks, logging it for a couple of weeks here. I currently have 40-20-40, however find I am always going over my 20% fat (being 1200 calories a day). These fats 5/7 days a week come exclusively from fish, nuts, seeds, avocado. I am aiming to lose a small amount…

bumping off last 10 pounds - advice on lifestyle
Hey, I have been wanting to lose 10lb/5kg since I can remember. I am 5"7' and 140. I have a generally healthy diet (I can't live without my veggies) besides my horrible chocolate/dessert addiction - can't usually go a day - but I have given that up and want anyone's opinion as to what is missing/wrong with my diet and…
