Need Help-Anyone Allergic to Milk TRIED Whey Protein Anyway?
My Mom is allergic to milk and has all kinds of stomach/intestine problems. I have often wondered if a liquid diet when she's really bad would help settle things down again. But I have been unable to find a diary free protein she can stand. She's about ready to just try the whey anyway. She has IBS, Crohns, diverticulitis,…

NSV!!
This is far from my first one but the its the first one in about four months. I have been bad about exercising but I did increase my proteins and worked on increasing my calories to TDEE-15%.

Need Help-Doing the Right Thing for Several Weeks-Feedback
Okay, I asked for help a few weeks ago since I hadn't lost in three months and changed my ways. I lost four pounds immediately, then have started another non-losing streak. I increased my protein and upped my calories based on TDEE - 20% or 15, I can't remember which. I did use the sedentary setting because I haven't…

Recipes for Boosting Protein Powder with Beans?
I am using Sprout's brand Whey protein in vanilla and have no problem with the taste, but I do wish it had more protein in it. Its the only one I have found that is affordable, uses no artificial sugars/stevia/agave, is low carb (2 gms) and tastes good. But with 18 gms of protein, I do wish it had more protein. Some beans…

More Work to Record Pizza Than to Eat It?!
I just finished recording the two slices of pizza I had for dinner. Since it was Domino's, I was able to get the nutritional info fairly easily. Then came the math. First, I had to make a chart of the nutritional values for each part of my pizza-crust, cheese, beef and Italian sausage in my case. Then I had to double the…

GREAT Dairy Free Protein Powder
With my Mom's many stomach/intestinal problems, I have been trying to find her a good protein powder that might help settle things down. She is allergic to milk, eggs and soy.

Muscle Milk Flavor Alternative
Okay, the very first protein powder I tried was MM and I really liked it. The next time I got some it was Sprout's in store brand. Does anyone know of an inexpensive vanilla powder that tastes similar to MM but has more protein per scoop, less carbs and fiber? I know I can do research and I HAVE been doing it, I am asking…

Denny's Dinner Recommendations-please help
Tonight I am taking everyone to Denny's for my son's belated birthday dinner. Do you have any recommendations on good food choices? I tried looking at the menu and just got thoroughly lost!

Caramel Cheesecake with Cottage Cheese!
OMG, I read a long post from a year or so ago that had tons of protein drink ideas. I bought a 0% fat cottage cheese by accident to have with my sliced fruit. I meant to buy one with at least some fat because it just tastes better. I saw some ideas for adding the cottage cheese to the drinks, saying you can't really taste…

Quick Question-Is Peanut Butter A Healthy Fat?
Okay, I am doing GREAT with upping protein and lowering carbs. I even lost 4 lbs in just the last two days by eating more calories but making them count. I don't have the funds at the moment to buy some olive oil or whatever so I wanted to know if peanut butter is one of those healthy fats? I know I need two tablespoons…

PSA-Please Read to Spare Your Tastebuds
I just bought some pea protein powder from Nutrasumma at Sprout's. My Mom is allergic to milk and I thought, hey, we could all get our protein and not have to buy two kinds-whey and milk free. DON'T BUY IT!!! You open the container and the smell alone is atrocious. I blended it with strawberries, blueberries and almond…

AppleSauce/Chicken Question
Okay, I have a really silly question. I LOVE apples in chicken salad but there is no way I can crunch them right now. Has anyone tried using appleSAUCE for that taste? I guess I could grind them up in my blender but it would still be more liquid. I just wonder if it would work for the apple flavor?

How the Heck Do You Log Strength Training On Here?
I just started back up again today, moving around. But now I tried to log my strength training and can't even find weights. Since I am doing TDEE-20%, should I just ignore logging exercise and make sure I do something every day?

Two Small Problems with Protein Shakes
Okay, I know I need to up my protein by a lot and these are going to help-they already have! But frothing up stuff cause some um, extra air and I feel like I am sloshing when I walk for awhile! LOL

Thank You
I'm glad I got up the courage to ask questions, thanks for all the help over the last two days. It was very discouraging to be doing everything right and stop losing for like three months. Then to gain a few was really upsetting. I will get moving again as well.

Former Anorexic, Doing it Right This Time
:sad: I am 38 years old and have been on here about a year. From the time I was 13 until 22, I was either actively an anorexic or just underweight.
