Anyone have any opinions on this way of eating/success stories? I've tried veganism, vegetarianism, high carb low fat, high protein, and low carb low fat.

Overtraining?
Hi all! I was wondering if you can help me find out if I am overtraining.

not feeling satisfied?? what do you do?
Sometimes I feel like I'm "missing something". I'm not sure if this is merely me wanting to eat more for no reason, or that I may be missing out on a macronutrient or micronutrient? My diet is balanced with fruits, veggies, and lean meats. I don't consume wheat or many grains and also only a small amount of dairy. Should I…

Which is worse??
So I didn't have much of an appetite today, so my cals were very low (about 900). The question is, do I eat dinner to make my cals because I don't want to harm my body or do I listen to the bod and not eat anything?? Thanks!

is this a normal reaction?
So today I ate my typical breakfast and brought my mom to the minute clinic at the local drugstore, where we waited for over 3 hours. I was standing the whole time, and I started getting really hungry, but I new i would be eating as soon as I got home, so I had a small special k bar. However, the rest of the night I just…
