Can you have too much protein?
I am doing my husband's meal plan with him. We both lift weights on a regular basis and he is huge on protein and carbs. However, can one intake too much protein?

Need a non-obvious meatless dinner recipe
So to save money, Ive decided to do one meal a week vegetarian. My husband is not a fan of the idea being a big protein=Gainz theorist. So I need some ideas for some meatless dinners that are not so obvious. For example, a few weeks ago, I made a vegetarian stuffed pepper and he had no idea there was no meat until I told…

is cardio skippable if you lift?
Hello! I am about a month and a half into a lifting program and it has started adding cardio at the tail end of the workout. My question is, is this really necessary?

My fitbit just came in the mail
Hi guys! Looking for users who have a HRM and a fitbit. Since the fitbit automatically syncs up with MFP how does general exercise work?
