Getting Tired of Chicken

But I have been eating chicken breast for the last 2 weeks and I am getting a little tired of it. I need a break from chicken. Anyone have any good healthy meat ideas I could substitute? Please note I do not eat…

Healthy dinner
So I've been getting a lot better about eating a healthy lunch but dinner has been a challenge. I don't get home until 6:30 in the evening from working two jobs so I don't want to cook a huge dinner. I am just starting to like more vegetables so my selection isn't very diverse yet. Any suggestions on quick and easy healthy…

Recording Slim Fast Shake in MFP and for Weight Watcher Points
Okay so I'm not sure I've been doing this right. On my slim fast shake mix ( use the powder and mix it myself) it has two rows for nutrition info. One row for just the powder itself and one for when you mix the powder with milk (apparently some of the values change for things). So I have been recording my calories based on…

Nutrition Info
Does anyone know how to edit the nutrition info for a food/product when they do a search to add it to their meal? I had a Pilsbury Cinnamon roll with icing last night and all the entries I find say it has trans fat in it but they took the trans fats out of their products. I double checked the label before I bought them. I…

Recipe Creator
Um so I'm not having any luck with the new Recipe Creator in MFP. Can anyone help me on this. I added the ingredients, each one on its own line as the directions say, and nothing happens. I want to add a recipe but can't figure this out.

MFP and C25k app
When I send my completed workout from the C25k app to MPF it always has the wrong start time for the exercise. For example I did day 1 of week two on my C25k app at 7:00 pm. When I was done it was 7:31 pm. When it sent the information over to MFP it said my start time was 4:07 am. Does anyone know how to fix this or has…

Best Veggies to star with
So I really don't like vegetables. There are some that on occasion, like at a family gathering, I will eat like celery but for the most part I just can't seem to get them to break into my diet. Also those that I do like I don't like cooked, with very few exceptions. So I guess what I want to know is the best way to start…

Recording exercise with Fitbit
So I have synced my new Fitbit One with my MFP. The MFP site say that if you are used a step based tracker to NOT record any exercises manually. My question is that I plan on taking my Fitbit off when I am doing my p90x vidoes and yoga as I don't think it would give a very accurate measurement of activity since somethings…

How do I do this?
So I am still loosing weight and inches so that is great. However, every once in a while I get the urge to want to eat healthier, for example eat more vegetables and fruit.

Gaining weight back
So I just realized last week that I was supposed to be eating back my calories that I exercise off. So I have been doing just that, okay not completely. I usually have like 28 calories or so still under my net of 1200 but that isn't too many under. The thing I have noticed is that since I started eating back my calories…

Eating back my calories
So I just realized last week that I was supposed to be eating back my calories that I exercise off. So I started doing just that and now I feel like it has undone all of the progress I've made. My pants feel tighter again and I just fell "bigger". Don't know if I should keep eating them back like I'm supposed to or go back…

Always so tired
I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on how to keep energized through out the day. Even if I go to bed early (usually 9 or 9:30 is early) I still wake up (at 7 in the morning) feeling just plain tired. Then at 3 in the afternoon my energy level crashes (and I work till 5). I usually have to give myself like…

Bummed and a little frustrated
Okay so today was weigh in day. I was really excited because I felt like I had made some more progress...got on the scale this morning and....no change. Still the same weight and none of my measurements changed which means no inches lost either. Not gaining anything is good and all but I don't understand why I didn't have…

How many calories do I really need to burn?
So I know to lose 1lb/week you need to burn 3500 cal (or 500 cal/day for 7 days). I know the whole goal is to burn more calories than you take in. My questions though is, is it different since you are already creating a calorie deficiency through dieting? If so how many calories do I need to burn to lose a pound? My goal…
