Upping protein
Does anyone have any tips for increasing protein intake? I really struggle to meet my targets, but I don't really like meat, so although I've tried increasing the amount of meat in my diet, it never really lasts. Are supplements my only other option or does anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer not to take supplements if…

This question AGAIN, sorry.
OK, so I just went and looked up my BMR and TDEE on fitnessfrog, and my BMR is 1756, my TDEE is 2415. I'm seeing all this info telling me I should not be eating below my BMR, but MFP gave me a daily calorie goal of 1370 (I have it set to 1.5lbs loss per week but even at 1lbs/week, my calorie goal was something like 1450.)…

Has anyone read anything about this? I'm at work so I don't have time to go looking for peer-reviewed info, but thought I'd put it out there in case anyone finds it useful!…

Macro goals.
Hi all! I hope this is the right place to post this, I've adjusted my macro goals to aim for more protein/less carbs. Is there anyone with an open diary (I'm desperately seeking ideas and guidance here!) with similar macro goals? I'm aiming for 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat (and will probably hit about 45/30/30, but…

TDEE difference
I calculated my TDEE on fitnessfrog and it was 2414, while it was 1900 on http://www.cordianet.com/calculator.htm 500 in the difference is huge, if I'm aiming for a 500 daily deficit. I'm 5'4, 210 lbs, female and I have a desk job and I workout 3, maybe 4 times a week. Could anyone take a guess as to which number is more…

weight training
So I'm looking through these topics and people keep saying that weight training is just as important as cardio (if not more). Are the machines at the gym the same as free weights? Because I can do the adductor/tricep pulls/ab machine etc no problem, but I have absolutely no clue where to even begin with free weights. Are…

50+lbs?
I'm 5'4, sw was 216lbs and now at 210.2lbs. Ideally, I'm aiming for 140lbs, I've got a long way to go! I'm large-framed, so I'm going to wait and see what weight I feel best at nearer to goal. Anyone in a similar boat, I'd love to friend you! I've also started the C25K program, so anyone who'd like to do it too, I've only…
