Adding more protein without adding fat and cals too
I am ALWAYS substantially low on protein... I try to live 50% protein, 30% carbs,and 20% fat... no matter what I eat, I am always lacking protein. I feel like every way that I can add protein adds fat and calories too!... like my protein shakes, I take on fat and cals with the protein powder plus the milk or I hear of…

Want to start lifting, but don't know where to start - HELP!

Can't seem to find enough info to actually get started. And have read some things that say its too much, and you'll snap something…

I could post ___ while tipsy with my eyes closed.
1. If you burned 1300 calories today, and ate 1200 calories today... yes, you should eat more. 2. If you come across a thread where 7 pages of people say "this is the best thread EVER" ... the moderators will shut it down ASAP. 3. 8 Oz of water today... Tea and Coffee is NOT included. Starting point.... go!

IS this the magic number? No more guessing???
While sitting in the dentists office today, I read the 'Health' magazine *100 best diet tips* and saw a tip. Take your weight and add a "0" that is how many calories a day you should be eating, IF you live a moderately active lifestyle, to lose weight... (Example: If you weigh 160- you should be eating 1600 calories a day)…

Low Carb vs. Low Cal vs. MFP
I've ALWAYS done low carb. But I never followed it through to the end. I would always do the 1st phase of Atkins, for 2-3 weeks.... 20-25 carbs a day... I'd lose 10-15 lbs and stop, and go back to my reg life. I've done low cal several times also... affective... but very slow compared to low carb. Mfp seems to follow the…

UGGHHH. I'm kind of frustrated, not to mention..completely confused!!! Idk if MFP is a blessing or a torture! lol ...…
