I feel like I'm eating ALL the time
I gave up simple carbohydrates (sugar, soda, candy, cookies, etc), as well as most dairy products (cheese) except for low-fat milk. I didn't really like cheese anyways. But I feel like I'm eating ALL the time to get enough calories. I know this question of "should I eat all my calories" comes up often on this board. I've…

Body/Muscle Fat %
I used my mom's scale (it's a bit old so I don't know how accurate it is) and it told me I have a 35% muscle, and 31% fat.

I know fat…

I just hate packing lunches, and I have stopped eating out...I seem to do better when I can prepare food…

I just opened the jar today, broke the seal. It had never been open before. Is it okay to eat, other than being ever so slightly off tasting? I love pickles,…

Not hungry, want to eat
How do I combat this? I'm really sorry if this has been discussed a billion times on this board already. But I'm not physically that hungry (though being under my calorie goal for the day, maybe I am). I've already snacked on fruit salad and I'm drinking water. I guess I have to get out of this psychological rut of eating…
