Busco amigos hispanohablantes
Hola a todos, he usado myfitnesspal por casi dos años, entonces no soy nueva. Soy de los estados unidos pero como me voy a graduar de la universidad en una semana y ya no tomo clases de español, me gustaría ver más español en mi vida. Puesto que paso mucho tiempo en este sitio, pensaba que sería muy buen práctico tener…

Great Article About Women/Lifting/Getting "Bulky"
Hey all, I remember having seen in the past a few really great articles (I don't think from bodybuilding.com or stronglifts, but something similar) basically debunking the myth that women who lift heavy will get bulky. It showed pictures of people who followed different workout routines (body builder vs. powerlifter, maybe…

A Few Gym Etiquette Questions
I just got back from the gym and made it through the workout without being able to get a deadlift in because all the power racks were taken. I got my squats in because I asked a guy if I could work in with him (something I have never done before!), but I didn't want to do my deadlifts while he was squatting. Anyway, 2…

Another dumb TDEE question.
Bear with me. So BMR is how many calories your body requires to sustain basic functions. Aka cities burned if you don't move at all. TDEE covers calories burned from everything else?

Unableached Wheat Flower
I found some pasta that only has three ingredients-- the first of which is unbleached wheat flour. I was under the impression that unless it says "whole wheat" specifically, it is not clean. Thoughts?

Vegetarian Protein

I'm mostly a vegetarian (but I will eat shrimp, crab, or lobster if the occasion calls for it... :D ), and I have zero interest in taking any sort of protein powder or…

Just started eating clean, feeling sick
For a summarized version, read the bolded stuff. I'm 20, female, 155 lbs/69ish kg (after a 15 pound gain while studying abroad). Vegetarian. No health problems. Really active (run 5 days a week, try to lift 3). I've always said that I've eaten really really well, and then I've eaten dessert. During Lent this year I decided…

Probiotic?
I have a pretty awful metabolism (self-diagnosed). I'm 20, female, 5'10, and if I net more than ~1500 calories/day, I lose weight. According to every BMR calculator I've tried, this is about 600-800 calories too low. I don't have any health problems, I drink more than the daily recommended intake of water, and I'm very…
