What can I do with eggs?
I was given a rather large amount of eggs by a friend and am struggling to see past the usual suspects omelette, tortilla, pancakes etc. I don't want them go to waste but I am stuck for what else I could do with them that is a relatively low cal meal ... Any suggestions?

Strength Training at home
Hi guys, looking for some advice. For varying reasons, I do not have access to a gym or a large budget to buy home equipment.

What should I do?
So I am about a pound away from my goal weight. And I have been about a pound away from my goal weight for about three weeks now.

Cereal bar challenge! Show me yours!
Hey folks! I have recently started making my own flapjacks/cereal bars as I love the fact I can vary them so much and put in exactly what I want. I am, however, still struggling to find the perfect combination of taste and calories. My ultimate aim is to create a cereal bar/flapjack snack for around 60-100 cals per bar so…

Protein doesn't do it for me - what should I do?
I am confused. I am almost at goal weight (45 lbs lost, 3 lbs left to go) - got here by controlling portions and logging everything exactly, with only a little bit of exercise on the side. Although I am happy with my progress, I would now like to focus on toning up a little and shaping my newly found body. Following a lot…

I am SOOO cold!
For the last couple of weeks or so, I have been unable to warm up. I am always cold. I try and drink a lot of tea to warm up but nothing seems to help. It seems I lost my protective insulation layer. It seems a little silly, but I actually had to resort to moving my desk right in front of the radiator which is on full…

Cold Exercise Question
I've had a cold for the last three weeks, the coughing just won't stop. I am actually suffering from sore muscles in my stomach and core. Can I count the coughing as exercise, since it is clearly helping to build muscle? How many calories do I gain pro cough or per day?

Looking for non-bake cereal bar/flapjack recipes
Hi there, was wondering if any of you have any flapjack or home made cereal bar recipes that do not require baking? We are currently without an oven but I love cereal bars for snack but would love even more to make my own, for variation and simply knowing what goes in them. Ideally I am looking for low-.cal (or is that…

Hello from a Couch Potato
Hello fellow MFPers! I am still relatively new to this site, but I am loving the support and stories from everyone! Now, I am curious to know if there are any folk out there who are determined to lose weight - like I am - but who, despite of this, are a bit of a couch potato - like I am. I have started my journey a couple…
