Should I take protein powder?
My macros are always a low on protein, roughly 15%, should I start adding protein powder to my meals? I don't work out.. are you only meant to use protein powder if you work out? Or what are other easy (low cal) ways to boost protein intake? I already eat eggs, chicken, turkey, avocado, sweet potato, bananas. Thank you :)

What are some breakfast alternatives to cereal?
I'm going to have to give up buying cereal as I'm addicted to it. I bought 500g of Bran Flakes yesterday and I've already managed to eat them all! What could I have in the mornings instead of cereal? Something that's as easy to prepare, but something that I'm less likely to nibble on throughout the day. Open to all…

My day could be going well and then all of a sudden I end up eating one thing that's 1,000 so it spoils my whole day. I am obsessed with thinking…

How do you resist junk food?
I just started my diet 5 days ago. I had a 4 day streak and then today went awful. I had a healthy breakfast and then got called into work last minute so since I didn't have time to make a lunch at home I got Subway (I got 6' ham&turkey with all the veggies so could have been worse!). When I came home later my family had…

Social life always involves food!
I've just started a healthy diet 4 days ago and I've realised how much my social life involves food! My friends always want to order pizza, go for milkshakes, go out for lunch etc. and it would be really unsociable for me not to join in. How do you guys manage in these situations?

Meal ideas for a newbie to cooking

First time dieter in need of advice!
So recently I moved away from home and have been eating takeaways, drinking a lot of alcohol, not exercising and unfortunately it's taken a dramatic toll on my body. I used to be 117lbs and now I'm 130lbs. It's quite noticeable around my face, tummy and back. I feel so disgusted that I've done this myself over such a short…
