Eat more healthy fats!
Hey guys! When I began my weight loss 'journey' I cut calories but I also rarely meet my fat macro; it was often less than 10 grams a day and I was always hungry not matter the amount of protein or fiber I ate. Now that I have started eating more health fats (mono,poly etc) from coconut oil, pb, yoghurt etc I feel soo much…

Is it time for a 'diet break'?
Hi, Well...I looked at my log in streak for mfp today and it was at just about 360 days; I've been eating at a calorie deficit for 360 days... Is this damaging? I was thinking about taking a month where I eat at maintenance and not go crazy! I have about 10 more pounds I want to loose but my weight loss is seriously…

another cheat day post
Hey guys! I really want to have a cheat day. I haven't had one for about 7 months which was when I started my 'diet'. My maintenance calories are 1700 (Sedentary). If I was to have a 3500 calorie cheat day but still ensure that my weekly calorie intake is below/at maintenance could I expect anything that bad to happen? I…

Maintenance break
Hey, So I've been on a 'diet' of net 1400 calories for about 4 months and it's been not too difficult to stick with. However, lately I have been feeling like a bottomless pit and hungry all the time. I only have 10pounds left to loose, but I am wondering if I should take a maintenance break for a few weeks? I mean I'd like…

15 pounds to go...What should I do?
Hi guys, I'm currently 130 pounds and 5'6, and I only want to loose another 15 pounds. Since I don't want to loose muscle would it be wise if I bumped up my calories so I'd lose half a pound a week? I exercise about 5-6 times a week (a mix of cardio and strength). If I do this MFP says for me to eat 1420 calories net, so…

Banking exercise calories
Hi everyone, So today I exercised for 2 hours (one hour of intense cardio and an hour of strength or body pump and body attack), I approximate that I have burnt about 700 calories, also yesterday I did 3 and a half hours of exercise so I assume even if I am a overestimating my calorie burn that I underestimated it…

i feel disgusting..
Hey guys, So for the past few days I haven't been able to get to the gym because I have been very busy. I plan to go back to routine tomorrow though. The other day I allowed myself, since I haven't for a very long time, to have a cheat meal which consisted of fried fish and some chips for Lunch, I didn't eat dinner so I…

lost my period?
Hey everyone, For the last two months my period hasn't come around and even the last couple of months before that it has been extremely light and I'm worried since this has only really occurred since I started being very diligent about what I eat. On average I eat around 1300 calories a day, more if I exercise. I'm about…

scared to eat exercise calories
Hi guys, I'm a little worried that if I eat more when I exercise to get to a net calorie intake of 1250 calories that I'll put weight on. 1400-1500 calories seems like too much to me but I don't think its healthy if I'm netting 1000 calories...I'd like some advice..will I put weight on if I eat more?
