Nutrition, Protein, and Weight Loss/Gain
Hi all, I wasn't quite sure whether to post this in nutrition or exercise, but here goes anyway. A few weeks ago I posted a question about reaching protein goals and got a lot of good feedback.

Protein Deficiency
Hey everyone, So I've been feeling fairly off the last few weeks, and gym progress was pretty marginal. Last week I went to see my family doctor to figure out what was going on. Long story short, the results came back today, and along with some slight vitamin deficiencies, I'm severely protein deficient. I'm vegetarian,…

Achieving a Healthy Diet?
Hey all, just looking for some feedback on a new diet I'm trying out. In essence, its a vegetarian low carb diet that hits all the right macronutrients and includes normal calorie consumption as opposed to one which would target weight loss ~ approximately 1900-2100 for me given my size, age, and level of activity. The…

Hey all, So as the heading indicates, I vegetarian, and a lazy one at that.

Android - Best App(s) for Strength Training?
Hey all, First of all I'm currently using mfp, endomodo, and jetfit as my go-to fitness apps. Jetfit is really the only one that I have that specifically targets strength training, and I'm finding it a bit of a chore to use. I can't speak to the quality of the paid-for version, but the free version is clunky, add-ridden,…

Are you a Smoker?
Then stop! I've just started the long road to quitting this expensive, irrational, and dangerous habit and I've had a few epiphanies; but first some background. If you don't want to read my blah blah, skip to the "Summary". I finished my undergrad last year and during the course of that I took a major in psych and…

Back in Town and Need Some Advice!
Hey all, So I took a break from MFP over the past few months. I was busy with work, school etc., but now I'm back and ready to rumble. I was vegetarian from the get go, but have never really gotten my nutrition under control. Now is the time to change that. I have, in the past, asked for recipes, routines, and strategies…

Goodlife Fitness?
Thinking of joining a good life tomorrow but I'm not sure. My friend swears by them and I've been in for the tour and the customer service is good as far as gyms go.
