What should i do?
Hi everyone, I just had a question. So the past 3 weeks have been really rough as far as my diet goes. I have been trying to maintain my weight, and went REALLY out of whack by binge eating several nights over these past weeks. So I have gained some weight back, which I am working hard to get off again. I have been "clean"…

Hi MFP'ers! I just wanted to get some info from those who have completed/currently doing Insanity or P90X. I am looking to get into a new routine again! I have completed ChaLean Extreme, and currently am just rotating the workouts. I know that P90X is more cross training with weights and such, but I do like the look of…

calories
Ok I know I've posted asking questions about calories a few times now. But I am 21 yrs, female, 115lbs trying to maintain my current weight. I changed my MFP setting to "maintenance" and I am "lightly active" and MFP gives me 1700 net cals. Does that sound right? really???

Usually weekends I burn over 600 cals a day, and weekdays between 200-400. My question is I still have my MFP setting on "lose 1/2 lb a week", should…

Peanuts
Ok this is probably a stupid question, but I bought some unsalted in-shell peanuts the other day. I got them in bulk (wrote down the cals/carbs/fats/proteins) but my question is how many peanuts are in a half a cup? Does that mean 1/2 cup in the shell or 1/2 cup once I break them out? lol...what a silly question but I…

Resting calorie burn

So for example today I burned (all exercises together) 650 calories working out for almost 2 hours. My resting calorie burn is 1.25 cal/minute. So…

Ice cream?
Hey I just came across a recipe for a berry smoothie that uses low fat/fat free vanilla ice cream. Any suggestions? I usually don't buy this stuff-so I have no clue what would be the best one to get! Can I substitute it for something else? Maybe fat free yogurt? Thanks in advance!

calories
I just had a quick question- Should I be lower my calorie intake on my rest day to my net calorie goal? Or should I still be taking in the same as I would any other day, even though I'm not exercising?

egg yolks
Hi there! I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do with egg yolks after using just the whites-usually I get egg whites separated but I ran out and broke open some regular eggs- any suggestions? I've heard to make your own mayo-any recipes if that's all I can do with them? Thanks in advance!
