MACROS
I've been using MFP for almost 2 years now and had lost 99 lbs. I had a lot of life issues (father's passing, my mom lost her leg then I lost my job) and I wasn't eating and getting to the gym regularly. So many people I've talked to lately about weight loss suggest counting my macros. I was typically eating about 1300 to…

HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO YOU NEED PER DAY
I've also noticed that MFP has me on needing 70 grams of protein a day, it increases if I exercise. Does anyone know if MFP adds the correct number of protein needed when you add your exercise? Or how do you know how much you should have per day? I know that I need more protein if I'm going to be working out more, but it's…

POLAR FT7 HELP
I have a Polar FT7 and love it to death. I am running a mud obstacle race next Saturday and was wondering if anyone that has one knows if it would survive, or if you have used it for one. The site doesn't really say much about water or anything else. Thanks!

Hummous Recipes
Does anyone have some easy, low cal (if possible) and TASTY hummous recipes? One of my favs is a roasted red pepper one. Want to give it a try to make my own, but there are so many recipes out there and photos look good, but looks can be deceiving, so I'm hoping my MFP family might have some taste tested ones :)

Protein or no Protein
Hi, I'm new to this and trying to figure out how do I know if I need to really use protein powders, I hear so many people putting them in their foods or drinks and don't know if that is something that will help or hinder. Also how do you know how much protein you need a day.
