How filling is protein?
I occasionally use protein bars for meal replacement, and it seems to me that it's the combination of protein and fat that makes them filling. If I do a protein shake instead of a protein bar, that does not keep me from getting hungry, though it works better if I make it with milk instead of water. Even with protein bars,…

What's wrong with "added sugar"?
This is a question for those who believe there is something wrong with "added sugar," and who are trying to cut it from their diet. About half of my sugar comes from ~5 servings of fruit a day, and half from "added sugar," e.g. soda, ice cream, brown sugar in my oatmeal, etc. How is the "added sugar" any different (i.e.…

Naturally skinny vs naturally fat
OK, many will probably not even consider this a valid question. But the fact remains that there are people who do not artificially limit the calorie intake and who don't even exercise (or exercise very little and infrequently) - yet they maintain healthy weight. Other people, including most of us here at MFP, have to…

How to get enough protein?
Based on many members' recommendation, one should be eating ~1g of protein per pound of LBM. Being a 5"10' male, 54, ~200 pounds, that means I should be eating 150 g or more protein per day. I am eating ~1,500 - ~1,600 cal/day, losing about 1 pound a week, doing 45 minutes of aerobic exercise and 15 minute resistance…

Morning hunger vs evening hunger
I usually eat breakfast. On the rare occasions that I don't, I sense hunger, but it doesn't bother me. I certainly don't feel tempted to snack. It is almost an abstract awareness of hunger without the emotional element. When I get hungry in the afternoon, either I'm busy or I don't have any crappy food around. It's more…

Why am I not hungrier when I exercise?
My typical workout is 500-600 calories worth, and I exercise 6 times a week. Yet, I've noticed, that I do not get hungrier when I work out and my body seems perfectly content with the 1,600 calories that I would eat on a rest day, or during the stretches when I don't work out. I find it kind of odd - I would expect the…

Calorie averaging
There are days when I go over my calorie limit, often by 600-700 calories. When that happens, I have two rules: 1. I always exercise on the day when I plan to go over. 2. On the day before and the day after I will try to have a calorie deficit to offset the feast day, i.e. ~400 calories each day. The second rule assumes…

Exercise harder or exercise longer?
I've been exercising for about 3 months now and now I routinely do 45 minutes of elliptical trainer at level 15, burning ~12 calories per hour, totaling roughly 550 calories per workout. There are times when I feel like pushing myself a little harder. I can do it by exercising at the higher level, 16, which burns maybe ~13…

Drinking calories in beer
I've been dieting and exercising for the past three months and I managed to lose 18 pounds. I used to drink a lot of beer and that's how I got overweight. I knew that to lose weight I had to stop drinking beer, which I did for about 3-4 weeks when I started exercising and dieting in July. Then I realized that my quality of…
