calorie burns via P90X (unusually) high?
Hello all, I've been doing the P90X regiment for basically three full weeks now and I am feeling great but am a little confused. I've been eating properly and logging everything faithfully. I've lost 8 lbs and am still feeling great. My confusion comes from the fact that even though my weight is dropping, my calorie burns…

I'm confused
I've had a rough week here as my allergies have been flaring up mega while trying to workout daily and trim the caloric intake. My question to you guys is "why do I crave toxins (in the form of comfort food) when I'm already feeling blue from sinus and muscle-burn pains?" It seems like I need to see a shrink about this…

my NSV (kinda)
I've lost 22lbs so far and today was the first time I was able to do all 90 mins of the P90X yoga disk. Ended up being a 700 calorie burn! However, because it was hot in my house, I did it shirtless and got many unflattering views of my pudgy midsection- especially during the plough-to-shoulder-stand. I should be excited…

a nutrition/calorie counter for juicing
Hello all, I just started juicing a couple of days back and I'm digging it. The only problem is that I'm having a hard time tracking the nutritional content because I really have no clue what percentage of the goods are ending up in my glass vs. what ends up in the compost bin. Any help would be appreciated as I have truly…

have I entered "starvation mode"?
Hi all, I've been having pretty good success these last two months here in MFP, I'm now down 31.5 lbs and I'm feeling great. Well, that is until I try to pick it up during my workouts, I then start to get a little light-headed. It immediately goes away when I slow down and stop. I know I'm eating well and getting all my…

a food pricing update one month into MFP
Hello all, I'm about a month into the MFP lifestyle and figured I'd give some comparison numbers to others who might be curious. I'm a Seattle area single guy w/o kids. I'm naturally a frugal person and for the last several years I could get by eating "normal" foods for about $8-10/day and was reasonably happy with the…

exercise programs for somebody with a bad back
Hi all, I have had lower back issues for about ten years now and I can't do any jumping or jog on hard surfaces. After looking at P90X and Insanity I see they both have plyometrics disks that seem to be all jumping. Is there another series out there that doesn't rely on jumping? Or is there even just a two-three disk set…

40/30/30 ratio vs. full calorie intake
Hello MFP, After three weeks I had my first duplicate weigh-in and figured now would be a good time to tweak my diet. My problem is that I can't seem to find a meal plan that suits both bits of advice "eat your workout calories" and "follow the 40/30/30 ratio". If I try to eat ~2400 calories that would ask me to eat: 150…

Help with the sugar counter
Hello, I'm still relatively new to MFP, I think I've got most of the website/app figured out save the Sugar counter. When I add one orange and one banana (two of my favorite fruits), I'm already above my 39 suggested grams per day. How am I to meet that unholy low amount? My daily total runs ~150g/day. I'm sure I can drop…
