When you're ill, do you-
Do you still try to exercise and consume all of your calories for the day? Is it okay to go under when you're sick? The past few days I've not been feeling well, but I've still been over 1,200 calories and I did 30min+ of walking, but today I just don't have it in me. Should I still try to eat more even though my stomach…

Ideas for eggplant?
I ended up buying an eggplant at the store this evening, but now I don't really know what to do with it. I know I can brush a little olive oil on it and toss it in the oven for a bit with some salt and pepper, but will it taste fine just like that? I would like to keep it a little on the healthier side, because Sunday is…

Almonds; What other nuts are best?
I am looking for a little help here. I'm trying to find a nut that I can snack on, that is still pretty good for me. Or rather, what is the best nut to choose? Besides almonds, that is. I just can't stand to eat them. What would be say, the second healthiest? I already go with lightly salted or no salt added, but as far as…

Low calorie intake, uh oh!
For the past few days, I have been tracking everything I eat, working out, and starting my journey to a healthier life. But, I have noticed each day, my calorie intake isn't as high as it should be. Is this okay, or should I just eat more? I am pretty satisfied for the most part, and I am not going hungry, just watching…

Advice for new eating habits?
I decided that this year will be the start of my new lifestyle. No junky foods, no soda, no candy, none of those coffee drinks that I used to buy constantly. I have decided to cut these out right away, aside from a box of easy mac I bought last year and I'm slowly finishing it off so it doe not go to waste. Because of…

Meals at odd hours, advice?
My sleeping schedual isn't what most people would consider to be normal. I finally get to bed around 4am-6am depending on the day, and I wake between 12pm-2pm. This means my breakfast would be around the time everyone else is having lunch, or even a late lunch. All of my meals are like this, and I don't end up eating…

Treadmills and calories burned.
To start off my weightloss journey, I have been doing 25-30min of walking a day on my treadmill at a speed of 2.0-3.0 (I switch it up a little every five or ten minutes). The treadmill I own is not a fancy one with alot of different options, and in order to adjust the incline you have to do it yourself, rather than just…

Using a weight scale, or not?
I believe somewhere in my house, there is a weight scale. I have not used it in years. The last time I was weighed was at my doctor's about two years back, and I can only guess what my current weight is now. (I added on 30lbs to my last known weight) Do you think it would be a wise idea to bring out my scale and actually…

New to MFP.
I haven't had much luck at all when it comes to losing weight, but a friend of mine recently started her own weight loss journey and she's been doing very well so far. I asked her for some pointers. You know, besides eat less, eat better, and work out more. She told me about this site, and said it helped keep her…
