I need friends who are bulking
Hi! I am considering starting bulking. I'm an 18 year old female - 6'0, weigh 136lbs and I'm apparently 23% body-fat. Last year, I went from 162lbs in 133lbs in a space of about 6 months, so I'm a bit wary about bulking, since I put so much effort into losing weight. However, I've recently started weight training and I now…

Healthy Chinese Takeaway Options
I'm having Chinese takeaway next weekend and already deciding what I probably should eat. I want low fat and high protein. I usually have Beef in Black Bean Sauce with Boiled Rice - from what I've heard, that's a fairly 'healthy' option but I'm sure I could do better. I'm not going to have any boiled rice this time. I was…

Starting the gym - slightly underweight but still 'flabby'
I'm 18, 6'1 and weight 134lbs (female). Despite my weight, I still jiggle a bit. When I lost weight, I obviously lost muscle as well as fat, so some of my fat is still there. I want to replace my fat with muscle. I'm more than happy to gain weight. So, when I go to the gym, what should I do? I've been told a full body…

UK Take Away Fish and Chips - help!
Seen so many variations of the nutritional info. From 500cals a portion to 1500 cals. I'm talking an average size cod, chips and mushy peas. The particular fish and chip shop I go to isn't overly greasy like some, or so that how it seems. I'm going tomorrow so would like to know what people think, I've always put down as…

Going on holiday... Should I change my eating habits?
I'm going on 2 'city break' holidays, one in a fortnight and one in six weeks. I am buying some food from the supermarket at home before I go on holiday, so I can put it all in my suitcase and keep it in my hotel room so I know exactly what I'm eating in case foreign supermarket foods don't have all the nutritional info…

Adjusting from weight-loss calories to maintenance calories?
How many calories would you add on to what you eat when you've been losing weight to work out how many you need to maintain your weight? 500? I've been told I need around 1950 to maintain. I'm so paranoid that as soon as I begin to up my calories, I'll gain loads of weight. Should I increase slowly? How have people done it…

Any tall (5'10+) UK women?
Personally, I'm 6'1 and currently 154lbs, looking to get down to around 147. I would love to befriend tall women purely for the fact losing weight can often be a bit different for us (or so I've heard) like how it takes us a bit longer to drop a dress size. Don't quote me on that, just what I've been told! Also how we have…

Have I been eating too little?
MFP gave me a goal of 1540calories a day to lose a pound a week. My weekly average has been around 1279 and this week I'm 1825 calories under my weekly goal. I am completely new to this so I know I could be going wrong eating under 1300 a day. I am yet to weigh myself, I'm going to on Tuesday. I don't want to cause my body…

How often do you allow yourself a treat meal such as a takeaway, or a really chocolately dessert, or that meal on the menu you know you shouldn't pick. And what are your typical examples of a treat?
