PROTEIN protein PROTEIN...
I seem to come across a lot of MFPers who are super-big on protein. I'm okay with this, since I like meat (chicken, fish, venison) and actually enjoy the taste of protein shakes. My question: Is too much protein really bad? I'm sure it is in excess (excess being a hella a lot).. But what if you go over your daily limit…

Everyday treat/sugars??
So.. I've been looking into whether or not eating sweets everyday is ok and wondering if eating them will significantly hinder my weight loss. Lots of sites say that sugar is just bad and that it should be completely eliminated. I've tried to give up sugar and it just doesn't work. My cravings get so out-of-control that I…

do you eat 1200+ calories & have an open diary?
Hello everyone! So... I've come to find out that most of my current friends are under-eating by... A LOT. :grumble: It really irks me since I'm still trying to overcome disordered eating. I was hoping to find people who have lost weight or are losing by eating a healthy amount (1200 AT LEAST). I'm looking for meal/snack…

Calculators?
I know MFP has pre-set calorie calculations, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a site I could go to in order to find a calorie calculator that would help me figure out how many calories I need to eat to reach my goal weight by a certain date? Thanks!

Has anyone tried them? Which one(s) have been your favorite(s)? I need to get better motivated to workout and I'm pretty lazy... But I love kickboxing. If you give me some help on which DVDs I should try (or avoid), I would be super happy and very appreciative. Thanks for your time!

Intermittent Fasting? - Sorry if this isn't new
Okay... So, I'm not really sure what intermittent fasting is all about. Could someone please explain it to me? Or, at least, direct to somewhere where I can learn about it. If you do it, would you recommend it for others? What have your own results been? Do you ever feel weak/tired doing it? How long do you fast for?…

Is what you eat really important??
Hello everyone! I know this sounds like a ridiculous question, but I'm curious... Does what you eat really matter? I've heard that you can lose/maintain weight by eating a certain number of calories. But what about the source of those calories? I mean... I tend to feel better when I eat veggies/fruits, staying away from…

snack-size ziploc baggies?
I have the generic snack-size ziploc plastic baggies and I'm curious as to how many ounces they hold. Sorry if this is a horribly random question.. I'll be starting a 2-week CNA course (10 hours a day for 2 weeks straight), only allowing for a couple 15-minute breaks throughout the days, and I need to pack some…

I don't know how to feel about this site..
Hey all, I'm currently recovering from disordered eating. Long story short: I began my destructive journey with anorexia, until my body got so fed up with me that it started to help itself. Leading me to start binging and, thusly, purging to compensate .. I'm on this site, now, to help manage what I fuel my body with.…

so hot...
I understand that summer is getting closer (or may already be in session for some of you lucky folks!), but I'm not looking forward to the heat. Whenever I hit the gym, I feel as if I'm going to fall over - not from overly-exerting myself but from being so darn hot. I don't sweat too much or run out of breath, but my face…

protein bar recipes?
Hello everyone.. So, I've been trying to incorporate protein into my diet (aside from dairy/meat). Just recently, I tried special K protein meal bars and i love them.. but A. they're expensive (and i'm a broke-*kitten* college kid) and B. i feel these could be homemade without the added sugar/fat. (I know they're kind of a…
