fruit binge
can you binge and gain fat from fruit? i went nuts over some fruit salad (after dinner, and i had at least 3 cups of fruit) and i weighed myself just for kicks... +5lbs! obvi its all water weight and so i'm not worried, but since fruit is pretty much sugars and starchy carbs, will they go straight to the fat cells if i'm…

fitbit accuracy: is it possible to walk 10 miles a day?
I'm a freshman in college and I've been wearing my fitbit one every day this week. I have logged about 10 miles a day and over 65 flights of stairs, since my campus is very hilly and there is quite a walk from the dorms to the cafeteria and all the class buildings. I know i'm not physically taking 65+ flights of stairs,…

body distracting while working out...
do you ever feel like your own body can be a negative distraction while working out? specifically for me, when i notice a part of me that jiggles when i move or when i feel my stomach rolls being pushed out, or when i can see just fat sticking out i feel like i want to stop working because it makes those untoned parts more…

vacation weight fluctuations
alright this might get a little confusing! daily goal is 1300 june 19 i left for korea, which is technically a day ahead so on MFP i had an "extra" day of eating. because of the weird schedule and my flight, i ended up overeating on the 19 and just logged the extras onto the 20 since i basically had a "free" day. when i…

where are calories taken from?
I heard that it takes 30 minutes for your body to start "burning fat". i typically do a pretty good workout on the elliptical (level 11-13 out of 15, intervals) for 30 minutes. where am i pulling the energy/calories to exercise from? if i didnt eat before i worked out, shouldn't the energy come from fat? i've been doing…

eating problems
i have been eating at mfp's recommendation for the 1 lb/week weight loss for the past year, expecting to drop 10 lbs in 2.5 months then maintain. instead, i had an up and down weight gain cycle that ended up in me losing only 4 lbs total in the past year. if i eat any more than my 1lb weight loss recommendation, i gain…

sedentary lifestyle eating!
i'm a student so i spend most of my day sitting down in a class of some sort.. what are some good, healthy (as in minimally processed or wholesome!), low calorie foods that won't screw up my blood sugar? fruits are good and low calorie, but i'm worried that too much fruit in my diet will make my blood sugars shoot up and…

yogurtland/goldenspoon clean?
i'm trying to eat clean but i have a BAD weakness for frozen yogurt... would you consider yogurtland or goldenspoon yogurt clean (minimally processed, etc, whatever clean entails) if there are no sugary toppings or anything?

killing my progress..
every time the number on the scale decreases i mentally remind myself to persevere. but THAT SAME DAY i will be like "oh, you lost another pound. an extra handful of chips won't hurt." and then it turns into an excuse to eat a little bit more of everything that day, and the next day i weigh in and i've gained like 4 lbs.…

tell me if i'm right...?
basically I let myself go a little at dinner... I did fill up on mainly roasted root veggies and at least 2-3 cups of grapes and oranges, so it wasn't BAD junky food, but i definitely weigh 3 lbs heavier than i did this morning. SO i know weigh ins at different times of the day will produce skewed measurements, but i just…

pb2 in oatmeal?
when using pb2 or any other powdered peanut butter, do you have to reconstitute it before adding it to oatmeal? since the oatmeal is already being cooked with water, my thought was that you could just add the dry powder straight to the hot oatmeal for a more concentrated pb flavor?
