What do you eat pre and post workout?
For those that lift or HIIT, do you consume any carbs beforehand? Do you eat more carbs on workout days? For example if you normally eat <20g carbs, do you eat 40g on workout days? What about post workout? I've read if you consume fats within two hours of working out, it gets stored as fat. Idk if this is "broscience" or…

Breaking stalls
Been following these threads for awhile. Just curious, is there a difference between all animal April or ground beef challenge or egg fast? Is going 0 carb what's needed to break stalls?

To count calories or not?
I've read in numerous posts that many people do not count calories when eating keto. I've also heard people only count carbs and not calories...even so much to say that calories don't matter on a keto diet. Maybe the people who have success with not counting are relatively active? But what about the sedentary people? Do…

Late night eating
I work retail which means I have an inconsistent schedule. Sometimes I have to get up at 6am, other times I get home from work at 5am. I've noticed when I work late, I get soo hungry by the time I get home. I'm tired but I'm more hungry than tired and will usually eat something, which makes me go over my calories. When you…

Too much bacon?!
I probably eat bacon every other day. Sometimes bacon and eggs, other times bacon in my salad. Point being: I always buy Farmer Johns Premium bacon and would have two-three slices. I would log the bacon as two or three slices, depending on the quantity of how much I ate. BUT I recently found out that cooking the bacon, and…

Pcos ladies
For the ladies who are trying to conceive with pcos: This is my first cycle using injectables. I also had the hcg trigger shot and I'm on progesterone supplements. Because I'm still young (<30 years old), pcos, and low bmi, I was a perfect candidate for ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome! My ovaries swelled up and I gained…

Cravings and quest bars
I love quest bars. Love. But I don't know moderation when it comes to them. I bought a box and I literally ate 4 in one sitting. I've found that they give me cravings. If I eat one in the morning, I am more than likely to go over my calorie limit because they make me hungry. Am I the only one who's addicted to quest? Or…

When others disapprove
What do you do when other people tell you this WOE is unhealthy, "bad for you," "will give you a heart attack," etc.? Do you even bother to tell people you're on a low carb diet? My coworker was arguing with me that being in ketosis means my "muscles are being eaten up" :unamused: I tried explaining to him that no, ketosis…

Fast food breakfast
Just moved into our new house 5 days ago. We would have been settled in by now, for the most part, except our whole house is being remodeled. My fridge is currently in the kitchen. I'm sharing my bathroom with construction workers. It's gross. All our belongings and pantry food are in boxes in the garage :unamused: I know…

Favorite Starbucks drink?
Been doing keto for 4 months. My go to is a grande cold brew with heavy whipping cream... And sometimes sugar free cinnamon dolce when I want something sweet :yum: What's your go to drink??

Low carb tortillas. Too good to be true?
Recently did the egg fast and eliminated a bunch of items to see what was stalling my weight loss. Heavy whipping cream? Low carb cereal? Low carb tortillas? I started incorporating 1 low carb corn tortilla from La Tortilla Factory and was fine. Yesterday, I ate one in the morning and ate another right before bed. I woke…

Anyone try the egg fast?
Hey guys, I've been doing keto for 4 months now and I am stuck!! My weight has been the same for 2 months. I ideally eat 20 grams net carbs per day. It might be carb creep? Maybe it's the heavy whipping cream? This way of eating is a lifestyle for me. I have PCOS and before keto, I could literally eat 4810 bagels,…

Can't Sleep & Stuffing My Face
Lately I've had insomnia where no matter what I do, I'm awake. The longer I stay up, usually past 1am, the more I think about food. At first it was real hunger but now it's just boredom & I find myself raiding the fridge & cabinets. I know it doesn't matter what time you eat, but I end up binging during these ungodly hours…

BEST Protein Pancakes! Low cal & low carb too :)
Ok so I've tried my share of protein pancakes. Either they didn't rise, or they were tough or runny... Just ugh. The secret? Casein protein. My recipe: 1 scoop casein protein (I use ON's Banana Cream Casein bc it tastes gross as a shake????) 1 whole egg (I used jumbo lol but extra large is fine too) 1 egg white Dash of…

Finished. Now what?
I finished NROLFW in 8 months. A little about myself: I have never been a "skinny" girl. I was always just a little bit "thick" After I found out about mfp, I started logging my food and becoming obsessed with the "You will weigh ___ much in 2 weeks." I went from 135 pounds to 114 pounds. I always thought after I reached…

Deadlifts :(
So I recently started lifting heavy & I really love it. I love being able to up my weights & seeing that itty bitty me is moving x amount of pounds. But as of lately, even though I'm able to lift the weight on deadlifts, it's hard for me to hold my grip. I end up trying to finish my set faster &I lose good form because of…

My Journey (with pics!)
I am no where near done with my journey but just thought I'd share what I've gone through in hopes it will help others :) My highest weight was 135-140. I wanted to lose weight so I started eating 1200 cals & running for 3+ miles in the gym every day. I'd eat crap & still managed to lose weight but I honestly felt so…

Eating disorders
I really don't know where to post this but I need advice. I'm really scared my little sister in law (she's 14) is suffering from anorexia. She's not full blown anorexic. She'll eat small amounts of junk food but anything else, she'll make an excuse to not eat. She doesn't like the food, or she's not hungry, or she'll start…

NROLFW no cardio?
Ok so this is my first post on myfitnesspal ever so bear with me please! This is my first week on NROLFW and I am super amped about the increase in calories since I was so used to eating 1200-1400 before. The book says cardio isn't necessary for success but I'm finding that most of you do cardio on rest days. Has anyone…
