High Protein Snacks
Does anybody have any recommendations for high protein snacks, excluding protein shakes? While carbs aren't "bad," I try to shy away from having high carb snacks because they don't generally keep me full. I've tried apples w/ peanut butter, hard boiled eggs, greek yogurt, and almonds, but I want something new.

What's for dinner when it's too hot to cook?
I'm in a serious hot/humid weather funk, and have no desire to cook, much less turn on my oven and heat up the house. The grill isn't working either right now, so that's not an option. I'd really like to just go out to eat, but I'm eating a heavy meal tomorrow for the Fourth of July and don't want two high calorie meals…

What was your small success today?
We can't jump on the scale everyday and miraculously lose 5 lbs, but we can all have small victories every day. Mine was eating out for lunch, and not eating the crispy, buttery, garlicy bread that came with my otherwise healthy blackened chicken salad. Not much, but normally I would have devoured it.

Let's see you "How Did I Get THAT Big" photo
I think we all have one. Mine is what jump started my weight loss. Two years ago I lost 50lbs by crash dieting, but then I gained it all back and learned a hard lesson that weight loss is a slow, steady marathon, not a race. Anyway, my boyfriend and I got Old Time photos done, and I dressed up in 1920's flapper garb. When…

Does MFP Underestimate Protein Goal?
Everyday I am over my protein goal. I eat a lot of chicken, nuts, cottage cheese, ground turkey, etc, and I always end up over. Does MFP underestimate what your daily goal should be? Right now it says I need to eat 56g/day, but I average 75-80/day

Peanut Butter While Watching Weight
I like peanut butter, but I don't like it enough to crave it, or want it on a daily basis. However, I've heard it has a lot of nutritional value. Within moderation of course, is peanut butter something I should be working into my diet? Or since I'm not a huge fan, should I just leave it alone?
