What is the best (most nutritious) Greek Yogurt??
There are way to many Greek Yogurts to choose from! I love them and I've been trying a lot of different brands, but which is the best in terms of protein, carbs, sugar, calories, etc?? Is there a list somewhere that I can compare them or something?? Thanks... ~Sheila

Where do you buy your health foods??
A lot of people I know buy their protein powder, granola bars, vitamins, etc. all online. Why wouldn't you just buy them in a store? Can you get better stuff online, are they cheaper?? What do you purchase online and which sites do you like the best?

Daily calories/BMR question
So my calories for the day are 1340, but I calculated my BMR at about 1560. Eating fewer calories than my BMR is putting my body into starvation mode, and that's not good. Why do u think my calories are so low? Maybe I messed something up or I'm justnot getting something? ~Sheila

Am I doing too much?
I love working out. I've lost about 17 pounds since January, and I've recenty started weight lifting to get toned and stronger. I have a couple friends who have similar goals, but keep telling me I am doing too much. I work out about 4-5 days a week. This is what I did today - 45 minutes of legs with weights, 1 hour of…

Hello everyone. I just joined this group and this is my first post. I love the C25K program. I did so well in the first few weeks and am so proud of myself. Week 5 wants me to run 8 minutes!! I don't know why, but that seems overwhelming to me. Sometimes 5 minutes is hard because I just don't have the energy. So instead of…

Is my scale broken, or what??
For about 2 1/2 months now, I've been running and going to the gym 45 times a week. I used to do absolutely nothing for exercise, so this is a huge effort for me. When I'm at the gym, I typically do classes such as cardio kickboxing, power hour, and cardio jam; I recently started lifting weights, and that's something I'd…

Non wokout days = binging. How do I stop??
On days I workout, I eat very healthy. I count calories, get lots of protein, and eat a variety of foods that I love and I feel great. I am not even interested in eating junk food, that I typically love. I work out 4-5 days a week. On days I do not work out (today), I find myself constantly munching and eatting poorly. For…

I have some work to do....
Hi, I'm Sheila. I'm 30 years old, I live in New Hampshire. I joined MFP to get me re-focused on losing some weight and getting fit. I am really focused on not just being skinny (I've never been built like that), but to be fit again. I plan to lose 25 pounds and I'm really getting into running. Truthfully, I've mostly ran…
