Is eating soon after exercise important and why?
Ok so when I exercise it usually has the effect of killing my appetite for a couple of hours but I keep seeing posts that it's important to eat within 30 mins of exercise. Is this true and if so why? Surely my (overweight) body has enough reserves to draw on already?

'Cleaner' snack ideas
Ok so so far I've been sticking with 'as long as it fits my calories then I'm going to eat it' so my snacks aren't all that healthy but I've hit a plateau now for 3 weeks and also feel I need to make some healthier choices. Generally snacks would be popcorn, cake, crisps, biscuits, chocolate........ not the best choices…

Insanity Recovery Week?
Wasn't sure whether to post this here or nutrition but hey ho. My Insanity recovery week starts Sunday, I can't find anything about calorie intake during that week. Do I keep it the same as month one or drop it down as I won't be (I assume) working as hard?

Insanity results from those who started larger?
Has anyone got any before/after pics and stats as to how much weight/ inches they lost doing insanity who wasn't already pretty slim when they started? The results from the slimmer people are amazing and I don't knock their efforts it's just that I know for a fact that I am not going to have visible muscles at the end of…

Net calories help please
Ok, so I know people say to net 1200 as a minimum but with 1358 as my BMR (MFP wanted to set me at 1340 for 'lightly active and 1lb a week loss so I upped it to BMR) and burning up to 500 cals (got a HRM) a day I'm struggling to believe that I will lose weight if I basically have to eat all my exercise calories back? Can…

NSV- I like some photos!
I have always hated having my photo taken and generally delete them as soon as I see them as they're vile. I've lost 30lb so far and although my clothes are smaller my mirror still tells me I'm huge. I went out for the day with my boyfriend, he got some pictures of me full length (some by accident in the background of…

Anyone know the calories in a 'generic' toffee apple?
I 'need' to have one at Halloween, it's the law! I can't find it in the database and there's no values on them in store.

Indian restaurant best choice
I'm going out for a meal next weekend for my cousin's 21st (so I don't get a say in where we go!) we were meant to be going to a restaurant where I'd already chosen a healthy fish and vegetables meal but now been told we're going to an Indian restaurant. What are the best (veggie or fish, no meat or poultry) choices, I…

Small goal reached and proud of planning
It's my birthday today and 12 weeks ago I said I'd like to lose 1.5 stone/21lbs by my birthday, I did it! :happy: Also, just because it's my birthday I don't want to go overboard so I had friends round for lunch, cooked a low cal thai curry and made low cal cake and I've planned what I'm having tonight from the take away…

BMR and daily calorie allowance?
MFP says my BMR is 1,399 My calorie allowance (based on 1lb a week loss) is 1,390 Surely a 9 cal deficit isn't enough?

Worried about the small amount of calories MFP has me on?
MFP has me on a daily goal of 1250 calories, that with weight loss set at 1lb a week. I have another 30+ pounds to lose and worry that if it's this low now, knowing it won't drop me below 1200 that my weight loss will plateau very quickly. Anyone else lost a fair amount of weight (50lb ish) with such a small calorie goal…

Changing 'goal' just for the weekend?
I know for a fact I'm going to go over my 1200 cal allowance this weekend as I'm child free (rare occurrence!) and me and the bf are going out to eat Sunday, seeing friends tomorrow where there may or may not be food drink etc. I don't want to gain weight this weekend but 1200 is going to be almost impossible to stick to…
