living on supplements....
can you do it? can you eat a nutritionally devoid diet, and just use supplements or fibre, protein and multi vitamins and still be healthy in the long term? for example a 2350cal maintenance diet eating only nutella and pancakes and balance it with 2 protein shakes, a good snort of Metamucil and a multivitamin? pancakes…

who takes up more of the bed, I say women! discuss.
now I spent a good 10 year block living with a couple of different girls, all unique, and sometimes emotionally fractured in their own special ways. BUT: they all had one thing in common, they all hogged the bed like crazy. quite regularly, I would end up on the edge, trying to not fall on the floor. many times I actually…

I suppose my goal is to get my protein sources to 90-95%…

Your all doing it wrong!
I came across this in another post earlier today, and wondered what people thought about it. for me it gives a much lower BMR result (which I think is more accurate) due to the inclusion of my BF% personally I think its good. but thats because it confirms something I already had in my mind.…

the 5:2 diet - eat, fast and live longer.
ok, so I opened up my weekend magazine that comes with the newspaper, and the cover was about the 5:2 diet. its the biggest thing supposedly since atkins etc etc. basically you "fast" 2 days a week on 500cals on those days, and eat as you like on the other days. now this isn't really something I'm into, but I am interested…

Increasing Cal intake from 1400
Ok, first off - I wasn't trying to starve myself. When I started with MFP I didn't know much about nutrition so I didn't know 1400 was low / too low for my height / weight / sex ( 184cm / 77.3kg / M ) and there was no warning or notification that 1400 was or may have been too low. I've been on my new regime for 2 1/2…

ok, so I've just updated to the new MFP app, and I noticed that the fat calculation has changed. Now the mono and poly fats have a value of zero (on the website also) and I'm a little confused. This means as soon as you eat any unsaturated fats you are getting a but fat negative for the amount you have eaten that day. That…
