21 day fix below calories/breastfeeding
I'm starting the 21 day fix nutrition plan tomorrow. I used the containers to plan out the food, but I also measured it with the scale to see exactly how many calories it would be. I'm breastfeeding so I don't want to be below 1600 calories. I'm following the 1500-1800 calorie plan but after filling all the containers I'm…

Breastfeeding: Calorie suggestions
I'm due in 3 weeks and I want to start counting calories and exercising after my doctor clears me. I'm looking for suggestions from mom's who exclusively breastfeed on how to calculate how many calories I should have. I think you can add breastfeeding in the exercise and add it back in for the day. Has anyone done this?…

Maintenance calorie goal
I just found out I'm pregnant, so I switched my calorie goal to maintenance. (There's no need for me to gain weight this early in pregnancy.) I haven't been logging 100% for a while. Just wondering if everyone that's on maintenance has found that the calorie goal is correct for you. I understand everyone is different and…

hey vegetarians!
I've recently started a vegetarian diet. I'm pregnant so I'm still eating eggs and dairy, with limited fish about 1x a week. I was wondering what you favorite sources of protein are. I've started fixing tofu (but I could use some recipes) and I'm eating more beans and quinoa. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

shifting to clean eating suggestions
I want to get away from all the processed junk out there. I've done clean eating in the past. I'm usually pretty good about keeping my main meals pretty clean, but snacks are what trip me up. I have a major sweet tooth. Can you guys give me some suggestions for sweet or salty clean eating snacks. And I obviously mean…

Closer to goal but so hungry!
Is it just me? The closer I get to my goal weight, the hungrier I am and the less satisfied I am with my allowed calories. When I first started it was hard to hit my calories every day because I felt full with all the fiber and protein I was eating. I guess I'm just used to it now and it doesn't fill me up as much. Just…

breakfast ideas
I need some breakfast ideas. I've been stuck doing the same thing since I started counting calories in Feb. I usually have an english muffin with laughing cow cream cheese, some type of meat like turkey bacon or turkey sausage, an egg, and berries or orange. But, I want to stay away from processed carbs like breads and…

Meal plans for the next day
Does anyone else plan out all your meals for the next day? I don't always do this, but I find that if I do, I'm more likely to stick to my correct calories and I'm less likely to snack on bad food. It's also hard for me to know if I'm staying within my macros when I don't plan out my food. I was just curious if anybody…

Best Protein Powder
I've never been a big fan of protein shakes/protein powder. Something about the texture and fake tasting flavors has kept me away. But I've been seeing a lot of shake recipes that I'd like to try. So I want your opinion. What are your favorite brands and flavors of protein powder?

TDEE/BMR/MFP????
Okay HELP! I'm so confused about all the different ways to calculate how many calories I should eat and when to eat back exercise calories. I lost 5 lbs quickly and now my weight loss has slowed/stopped. I eat between 1200-1400 each day. I never feel hungry enough to eat more than that. Even on days that I exercise. I only…
