Tough Time

Give up/Make Healthier
If there was a fairy that could grant you the wish of one "unhealthy" food lets say... doughnuts.. as being super healthy but in exchange you had to give up a food you like what would you choose?

Belly Fat
So I have heard "You can't spot reduce" and I've heard "Abs are made in the kitchen" and both statements confuse the crap outta me. If you can't spot reduce then why are some exercises for certain parts of the body like push ups and crunches? And if abs are made in the kitchen then what exactly should I be eating/not…

Quick Poll on Sugar
How many of you believe fruit sugar (and not just one apple a day- I am talking different types of fruit through out the day) is absolutely 100% fine? and does anyone else here subtract in their head the fruit/veggie sugar from their "sugar" column on the macros each day?

Exercise Right Before Zzzzzs
Sorry if this has been asked a million times! I didn't get a chance to workout today and i work 12 hrs at a time. I am about to get off work at 6 am and want to do SOME type of exercise so I won't feel like a lazy slacker but logically it seems sort of pointless to go all day on my calories, then workout right before going…

Sodium Question
I know that sodium causes water retention but is that when you have like 4,000-5,000 mg a day or is that when you fill up all the way to you 2,500 max on MFP? I usually fill up my sodium all the way as I am still learning and trying to adjust to eating less sodium but do i ONLY need to be worried if i am going over my…
