Protein powders that last a long time and isn't spendy?
To get an adequate amount of protein, I eat 3 servings a day of a 30 g/serving protein powder (I also get proteins from other places, but of all the foods I eat, that has the most protein). The problem is that the last one I had only lasted for about a week because of the rate I was consuming it. 25+ grams protein and…

Should I increase my calorie intake?
I weight around 120 now. Anything below around 116 is too low for me. I still want to slim down, but I don't want to lose a ton of weight, or I'll be only 100 pounds. I'm 5'6", so I know that is underweight. I've started Julien's 30 Day Shred and there is some strength and weights in there. I'm not sure if MFP takes the…

Work out programs to slim down fast??
I need a work out program to slim down fast, especially my midsection, but I don't need to lose a lot of weight. Which is the best thing for that? I also don't have any equipment.

Trying to lose belly fat, but not lose so much weight?
I'm 5'6" and I think I'm getting close to being underweight (according to a site, I'm okay right now). I workout and I make sure I'm eating enough (1590 calories). I really want to lose this belly fat, how can I do that without losing a bit of weight. What should I do? More protein? More food intake? Note that I don't have…

HELP! I need protein!
It's 11:06 at night and I'm trying to set up the next day, but even when I try to add in foods I think have a lot of protein, it's not enough, and the fats and carbs are always way above the proteins. My macros are 50/20/30 proteins/fat/carbs. I'm putting in nuts, nut butters tofu, tempeh, vegetables, eggs- anything that's…

I'm still not sure how many calories I should be eating
Right now, my max calories is 1650 and I'm doing the insanity workout in which I am burning up to around 400 calories (unless I do pure cardio and cardio abs where I burn around 700) at least according to this site: http://insanitycalories.com/. I'm 5'6" and I weigh 125 pounds. I'm not sure if this is too much or not…

How many calories should I be eating (insanity)?
I am currently doing insanity. I am 5'6", 125 pounds, and eating 1600 calories. Too high or just right? Can I change it to 1500?

Is this a sign I should increase my calorie intake?
My goal says it should be 1380. - I'm 5'6" 124 pounds - I work out 6 times a week doing insanity - I'm trying to get rid of five inches from my waste, an inch or so from my thighs, but I don't know how many pounds that is because I'm sure other areas of the body may be targeted first. - When I get 100 calories below my…

Where do you go to get yourself motivated?
I like watching YouTuber's Equinox videos. Especially https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loszrEZvS_k (Yoga by Equinox) Or I like going on davincibody.tumblr.com/tagged/motivations or tagged/inspirations (my fitness blog, by the way).

Does anyone have any fitness blogs on Tumblr?
http://davincibody.tumblr.com/ Just reply with your url and I don't usually self promo, but following me would be nice (I don't have much followers on this blog since it's my secondary blog and I could use more motivation since I'm on that site a lot).

Feeling hungrier?
When I reach my calorie goals, I feel satisfied enough that my stomach doesn't want more food late at night. But today (and it's only been a week), I'm feeling quite hungry, but it's almost time for me to sleep. I wanted to say maybe the foods I eat aren't filling enough, but up until now, they didn't seem to be a problem.…

Is there an advantage of lowering animal products?
When trying to lose weight that is. I'm a vegetarian, but I still like cheese and eggs. Or alternatively, is eating eggs maybe once a day too much? I hear it is a great post-workout food.

Does insanity work for everyone?
I've been on and off insanity because I've been losing motivation. I'm just trying to lose around 4-5 inches from my belly. If I follow a healthy diet, will it work?

To count calories or to not count calories?
I always see contradicting tips about this. Some people say to count your calories. You need to be calorie deficit to lose weight and counting calories keeps you on track. Others say to ditch counting calories because it can get stressful and even obsessive- just eat healthy. The thing is there are a lot of people that…
-
Insanity workout motivation? Or just any motivation?
I've been on and off insanity because I can never stick to anything for that long. If I keep up a healthy diet and a calorie deficiency (burning more than I eat), will doing a month of insanity be more effective than walking (just a normal walk- nothing brisk or fast) for 40- 60 minutes? Also, how many of you actually…

Trying to lose belly fat!
It's not a lot, I'm trying to lose maybe 3-5 inches off my midsection but it seems like I never can! I ideally want to lose the fat around my midsection in 1-2 months. I have other areas like my legs, but my main concern is my belly. I'm 5'6", female, 21, between 125-128 pounds. If I walked for an hour 5 days a week for an…

Signs of increased metabolism?
I don't really count calories, but I'll eat five times a day- breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. I think my calorie intake is pretty normal, but at around when I'm supposed to go to bed, I feel a bit hungry. Before, with the same diet, it was just fine. Does this mean that my metabolism is faster and that I have to…

Is this a good routine for weightloss?
I used to do weights and cardio on alternating days, but I've decided to do both on the same day. Now, I do around 15-20 minutes of weights (I honestly don't keep track of the time, but it's around there) and 40-45 minutes of intervals on the treadmill (5 minute warmup at 4.0, then alternating intervals at 4.0 and 6.0)…

HIIT: 20 minutes high intensity or 45 minutes low intensity?
For the past couple days, my HIIT workout thirty second sprint at 11.5 (sometimes 12.0), and walking at 3.7-4.0, sometimes resting completely for a few moments. The workout takes 23 minutes, including the five minute warm up beforehand. But, I've been brought up that you have to have at least 30 minutes of exercise to see…

Tracking insanity workouts?
I don't have a heart rate monitor, so I've just been putting high impact cardio. Is there one that's a bit closer to insanity level workouts?

Just starting to get into this community.
I've been on this weightloss program for almost two weeks, now, but I just got a myfitnesspal profile just a few days ago. I want to get to my goal weight, 114 pounds, a waist inch of 28", thighs at 19", and waist 30-32". Currently, I am 120-121.
