Non-Dieting Dropout
So, I’m done with the non-dieting culture and back into the dieting culture. Must lose this weight now. What do you all do when you start out again? Do you go straight to 1200 or whatever your losing calories are or do you start higher and go down a week at a time. I’m thinking going straight to 1200 is going to make this…

Best Low Calorie Mexican
Have to go to a birthday dinner Sunday at a Mexican restaurant.... What's good to get? I never know....I thought chicken fajitas without the tortillas or sides was good but then found that some totals could be way more than what's listed in MFP. Is there anything I can get besides one taco?

Carbs and Exogenous Ketones
Alright, so I'm on the Pruvit Keto Max train... at least for right now. I have concluded that I need to eat carbs. If you read my other thread in this forum, not eating enough carbs making me crazy. So, despite my research, I can't find something that explains exactly how exogenous ketones work when you eat carbs. I want…

Feeling Crazy
So....do you all use the macros that MFP determines? The reason I ask is because someone told me that the Carb macros are set too high and then I read that you should eat a gram of protein for each pound of weight....that's not what MFP gives you. But here's the thing.... When I reduced the carbs and eat more protein, I…

The Day after a Bingeful Weekend
What is your plan when you totally bomb the weekend? I'm thinking of eating as little as possible today after a REALLY bad weekend, but not sure if that's the best choice since I'll be doing "Hell Week" at my gym (Orange Theory) starting tomorrow, which means I'll probably have no energy.

Calorie Amount
I really just wish I understood how many calories I need to eat a day. I workout 5 to 6 times a week and burn 500 to 600 calories. I'm 5'6 and 140. I tried 1400 calories and didn't lose much and then switched to 1200 and lost some more.....but I keep binging which screws it all up. I didn't binge so much on 1400. Some…

PMS and hunger
So.....sometimes, it stinks being a woman. Low energy in the gym this morning, and now I'm starving. I've had my usual breakfast and had to do my snack early because I couldn't concentrate on work because of the hunger. I ate the snack and it's like I didn't eat anything at all. All I can think of is going to get something…
