Body Fat confusion

Men vs women
I wonder if someone could make something like the Hogwarts challenge, but instead make it a men vs women thing. Thoughts?

Am I eating enough?
Hi everyone, I am 5'6 and 127.2 pounds. My goal is 120 pounds. My BMR is 1329 and my TDEE is 1595. I eat 1200 calories a day. I want to lose 1 pound a week. I have a few questions. 1.) Am I eating enough? I noticed I have peanut butter cravings, and I read that those can be caused by not eating enough. 2.) Is it realistic…

Protein ruining weight loss?
I have heard that eating too much protein can stall weight loss, even if you eat an appropriate amount of calories. My calorie limit is 1200 a day. If I eat 120g of protein and 1200 calories, would that mess up my weight loss?

Best Protein Bars?
I love protein bars. I've had several varieties. The Special K kind with 10 grams do not fill me up enough. My favorite is Quest bars. They have 20grams of protein, 17 grams of fiber, and taste great. The Double Chocolate Chunk tastes like a cookie. I used to eat Fit & Active Cookie Dough bars from Aldi, but they changed…

Is my TDEE wrong?
The calculator on IIFYM says my BMR is 1350 calories and my TDEE is 1610 calories. That seems awfully low. My height is 5'6 and my weight is 130. I do have a desk job and don't exercise though. Does it seem accurate?

The day after you mess up...
What do you usually do the day after you mess up? I ate 3,000 calories yesterday (whoops!). I was having trouble deciding between eating 200 today to make up for it, or eating my usual 1200 calories.

37-calorie slices of Pumpkin Pie
http://www.food.com/recipe/light-crustless-pumpkin-pie-149363 This recipe is delicious! Put 2 tablespoons of low fat whipped cream on it. I know, artificial sweeteners are bad. But for me, it's either eat those or eat tons of calorie-laden real sugar. I am too addicted to sugar to give it up.

Confused about weight gain
Does anyone know how quickly you gain muscle when you lift weights? I started lifting on July 1st. I lift every Monday and Wednesday for about one hour. Nothing too intense. But my weight has gone up one pound. I'm really concerned. I still eat 1200 calories a day, sometimes more if I am exercising. I run every Tuesday and…

Crystal Light or Diet Cola healthier?
Just wondering what people think- which is healthier? The main differences I see are the diet soda has caffeine and carbonation, and the Crystal Light doesn't. Both have aspartame. Both are not pure water. Edit: I guess I am also wondering whether one is more hydrating than the other, and what makes these drinks unhealthy

Chicken Breast Nutrition Info

I've heard anywhere from 25 calories an…
