To Whey or Not to Whey, that is the question
Good Day, Everyone! I was wondering if some more experienced members could help me with this. Here's the problem: I think that my post workout protein might be "backing me up." And it might be what's causing me to be gassy. Either of these is unpleasant and unwelcome. I very much want my protein shake after my workout - I…

Hard time finding BALANCE - eating too little
Hi Everyone, In the past two weeks, I've been working hard to feed my body nutritious foods. I use MFP to keep track of the food and to count the calories.

Tearin' me down - - :-(
Hi friends, Do you have someone in your life who insists on tearing you down? I mean, they do it under the guise of "concern" or "I know what's best for you" kind of thing, but in your heart, you don't agree with what they're saying and just wish they'd keep their opinions to themselves. Even if they're right. My mother…

"Filler Food"
Hi Friends, Any suggestions on what I can just pop in my mouth to keep my stomach quiet for a couple hours till dinnertime? I don't really want to eat an entire bowl of fruit and I don't want to eat "dinner." I just want to keep it quiet for a little while. It seems like the better food I put in my stomach, the faster it…

Walking (shoppinng)
Hi, How many calories do you think are burned by shopping? (i.e. "shopwalking") This has got to count for something! Just regular walking. Walking, standing, looking...for hours.
