ISO a coffee-dunking cookie
Hi friends! I'm looking for a cookie recipe that I can dunk in my coffee or some milk that will absorb the liquid a little bit without falling apart - something like actual Chips Ahoy in texture. But of course, I'm on a diet, and low calorie and/or high protein cookies would really save me from that craving~ Any recipes…

Which fitness tracker?
I was thinking I'd like to get myself something like a fitbit or whatever it is people use these days to track their fitness. Most importantly, I want to figure out my TDEE to reasonable accuracy, and from there be able to find out how much more I'm burning on days I feel like I'm really active. My formal exercise regime…

Business Ethics in Fitness/Nutrition?
Hey all I need some help! I have to do a report on an ethical issue in business for a course I'm taking. I wanted to do the labeling of food as natural/organic but it tied in too closely with the case study I've been assigned, so my professor asked me to choose something else... I know I want to keep it either fitness or…

Weird, Tart, Sorta Delicious Boxed Mac and Cheese
So when I went off to college this semester, I brought with me a 12 pack of the family-size boxes of macaroni and cheese. The regular, Kraft kind. And I've been racking my brain trying to think of a nutritionally better way to prepare it. And yesterday I had a revelation to make it with greek yogurt instead of milk and…

Calorie levels?
Should I be eating at maintenance? That's what I'm doing now. I'm in stage 1 and eating at around maintenance, getting my protein between .8g and 1g per pound of body weight. I'm happy with my weight, but I do want to burn fat and build muscle. Are you guys eating at a deficit or a surplus or maintenance, and why?

Protein Powder Pancakes ?
So you know those articles you read that say "just make a paste with the protein powder and water!" Those are gross. They're gross. Also they burn easily and the texture is terrible. I've tried them with a number of powders and not once did they come out good. Gross. So! Does anyone have a better solution? Some ratio of…

BF% Change/Skinfolds
I get my body fat tested at the Campus Rec center and they use skinfold calipers. Toward the end of last semester, maybe late November/early December, I went and once they told me 30% but I think that was a mistake because when I got other readings they were 18.7% and 19.3%. I'm guessing someone just misused the calipers…

My workouts need direction.
I've been workout out for an entire semester without direction. I work whatever muscles aren't sore and I usually do 3 sets of 10 on whatever weight I can barely finish that on, on either free weights or the weight machines. I really need direction. I need something to follow so that my workouts are effective and I can…

Friends that actually communicate?
Hi there! So. Um. I'm looking to add some people that are actually going to be active, who post statuses or have open diaries and like and comment on things. I want a social network friend :) Of course, I'll do the same back - lots of encouragement and congratulations coming your way if you add me! Preferably those with…

Artificial Sweeteners
Hi there. I'm an artificial sweetener addict. If I don't have at least one cup of iced coffee with sweet n low and at least a 16oz diet coke... well, it's been a very strange day, because I always have those things. They are my crutches. I can cut out the sweetener in hot coffee because turbinado sugar and honey both…

Anyone ever done a Color Run?

College girls eating over 1600/day?
Hey there! I've noticed I tend to stop logging if I think I "messed up" and I struggle with the calories in alcohol and the associated munchies so I think I should make more friends on this site. :) But I've noticed a lot of the girls my age are looking to get thin (which is fine) so they're eating 1200-1400/day and it…
