[REQUEST] Low in Calories - High in protein foods/recipes?
Anyone know of any foods that are generally low in calories and high in protein? I initially didn't care about eating a low amount of calories, but since I'm cutting this summer (and I don't want to lose any muscle) I can't eat 2400 calories a day (which made it pretty easy to get all the protein I needed) lol. I know the…

What's your favorite part about exercise in general? :)
So what's yours MFP? Mine is when I look at my previous fit test logs (Insanity) and see that I've doubled in overall reps for all the exercises. This is what I feel like:

Robby's back. c:
Hey guys! My name is Robert - some of you may remember me from about a year ago. I've been here since last summer but stopped eating healthy and working out due to my preoccupation with school and debate (got to travel to the University of Florida and Harvard for debate tournaments). I lost 12 pounds last summer and gained…

NSV :D
After starting back on my strength training and cardio regimen this summer (about 2 months ago), I gotz me a new NSV. On my arms I'm starting to have my veins pop up against my skin (almost halfway up my forearm). It looks really cool, so I'm happy :D .

Random Fail... T_T
I finished doing my P90X Legs and Back DVD, had my protein shake, and was on MFP. I got caught up in some conversation with some friends on here and on Facebook for about 30 minutes. Suddenly I had to pee, so I got up and started to run for the bathroom when my legs gave out right under me and I fell flat on my face on the…

Where should my heart rate be at?
My HRM has a "fat burning" zone and a "fitness" zone. (I'm rockin' the Polar FT7) Anyways, when doing Insanity's cardio exercises I always seem to be in the fitness zone, which is having my heart rate at above 150-160ish. Should I be trying to stay in the lower "fat burning" zone or keep at it in the fitness zone?

1st NSV as a Teenager ;D (weird one though)
I was getting ready short notice for a friend's Bar Mitzvah on Saturday when I was struggling to find my dress pants. I found it just in time and put them on. When I went in the mirror, these same pants that looked good on me a year ago now resemble MC Hammer's pants on me. :D Like these: So I had to go out and buy new…

So basically almost all the girls on my FB have been blasting my news feed with "5 inches", "8 inches", "6 1/2" inches, etc. I looked it up, and basically it's about girls trying to "raise awareness" for breast cancer by posting shoe sizes or hair length interchangeably. They put (for example) "5 inches", and then comment…

High Protein -- Low Carb foods?
I always seem to go over in the amount of carbs I'm supposed to eat daily and I barely ever hit the amount of protein I need daily. I already have a protein shake or two daily (one after exercise) and sometimes one in the evening as a meal substitution. Well, I know lean meat (chicken, fish, etc.) helps, but do any of you…
