Anyone wanna give my diary a looksie?
I'm having a really hard time trying to optimize my results to lower my body fat percentage and work on/improve my muscle mass. I try to eat very well; I haven't adjusted my macro percentages on here yet (it reset after I updated the app on my iPod), but I have been working on keeping my macros at around 50% protein and I…

Greek Yogurt Cheesecake?
So I'm going to a 4th of July BBQ tomorrow and I wanted to make a cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries on top to make red, white, and blue. My question was whether or not I can substitute Greek yogurt for the cream cheese without it turning out disastrous. Has anyone ever tried it? Did it taste the same/good/better…

Insanity Upper Body Weight Training
So I saw that this video was included along with all of the other insanity videos, but isn't included in the training regimen. I've watched about half of it and it looks legit, I think I'll try it out tomorrow, but my question is this: why is it there? Did I miss some memo that said "hey if you want to be a badass do this…

Calorie intake confusion-help please!
Alright so I'm working on eating the correct amount of calories in my second month of insanity because I wasn't eating nearly enough last month-probably why I haven't seen any results. My TDEE - 20% is about 1800 calories, but I don't like using that method on MFP because I like to log my exercise (it motivates me a lot to…

Logging exercise and calorie goal settings
So I'm starting month 2 of insanity today, and I really want to get results which I haven't been getting from month one. I believe it's from not eating enough, so I'm trying to make my diary is well set up as possible to help me eat enough but not too much, etc. I know that MFP is meant for you to eat your exercise…

Upping my calories-need support
I'm a pretty active, 5'2" 20 year old, and for the longest time I was only eating 700-800 cals a day. I knew this wasn't healthy, so I forced myself to up it to 1200 a day, regardless of exercise or anything as such (was easier than I thought since this was when I switched to eating 6 meals a day). But now I'm hitting a…

Taco salad!

Insanity Recovery Week Shoutout
For those who are doing insanity or have done it before, etc, during recovery week is it best to do the video each day plus a different workout, or would doing another workout hinder the entire point of recovery week and make month 2 extremely difficult? I haven't looked at the recovery video yet since this is my first…

Calorie setup on MFP
So I'm getting a little confused by how many calories I should be imputing into MFP and from there how much I should be eating. If you guys could help that would be great; I'm sure I'm just over thinking this. I'm 20 years old, 5' 2", 107 pounds, and very active. My BMI is calculated at roughly 1318 calories; my TDEE is…

Calories, calories, calories..

I am 5' 2", 20 years old, 107 pounds, and I work out 6 days a week. I work 2 jobs (McDonald's and snack bar at a pool) that require me…

Healthy, low calorie, easy apple "cobbler"!
Alright guys, so I just experimented with this a few minutes ago and it was so delicious that I have to share it with you all. What makes it especially great is that you can do so much with it to fit your personal tastes or caloric regimens. 1 apple, sliced (I used a small Fuji apple --> ~55 cals, I made somewhat thin…
