Losing weight eating maintenance but low carb
Last year I seemed to have lost weight at the weight I am at now by eating at my maintenance calories (1600), as long as I was eating high protein and low carb (like over 100g of protein and under 100g of carbs a day). I am at that same weight now as before (after I lost some then gained). I just decreased my calories from…

Help with TDEE and weight loss
I have lost quite a bit of weight over the last year. I am currently at about 137 lbs, I am 5’4”, 34 years old. I’ve been overeating big time lately so I thought I’d revisit calculating my BMR and TDEE. Obviously to lose weight I’d need to eat less than my TDEE (1569 calories) and more than my BMR (1306 calories). I have…

Quest protein powder & pregnancy
I’ve been drinking Quest protein shakes this entire week. One every day. My midwife mentioned it when I asked her about help with protein intake. But I am wondering if it is truly safe to consume while pregnant.

How to keep sugar down?
I seem to struggle with going over in fat and sugar. It was carbs as well, but I recently upped those because I am 25 weeks pregnant. I kept my fat intake at about 56g and sugar at 30. My question is, how are you suppose to keep your sugar below 30 when you are encouraged to eat fruits? And sugar is hidden in so many…

Need help getting started...
For a long time now I have needed to lose weight. I have gained about 40 lbs in ten months. I use to be 125, and now I am at 170. :( when I was in college in 2011-2012, I was able to lose a lot of weight just by using myfitnesspal. I did a lot of obsessing, and tracking, and the thought of doing that again (especially…

Activity level for waitress
Hi everyone. I have gained a lot of my weight back and am trying to get started again. I don't have the discipline as I once did where I tracked and weighed every single thing that I ate. I don't know why, but I just have no motivation to do it. It stresses me out. Also, I waitress four days a week, hours vary. Sometimes I…

Weigh the same, look fatter
Why is it that I weigh the same as I have been, but I look and feel fatter and flabbier? I have not been going to the gym and am planning on getting back on that tomorrow. Is it the loss of muscle? Is it the gain of fat? It's aggravating... my eating habits have not gone completely off the wall.

I really, really need some support..
I've gained ten pounds and it's really making me depressed. That state of mind that I was in when I lost all my weight, I just can't seem to get that back. As much as I want to lose weight again, I still eat comfort foods and won't even think about exercising. I don't count my calories anymore, and if I do, I don't do it…

Am I going to gain weight??
I've been eating like crap lately. I had pizza hut for three straight days over the weekend, and burger king twice this week. Granted, I was within my calorie range for all of those days (but over on my sodium goal and fat goal).... as you can see in some days in my diary. I also drink a lot of alcohol about two to three…

Not losing anymore weight..
Granted, I haven't been as strict as I use to be when I lost all my weight. But I still watch what I eat. I just notice I'm at the same number, 135. I hardly ever go over in calories and if I do, it's like one day of the week. I barely exercise but I didn't really need to when I lost all my weight. I can't afford a gym…

Why am I so bloated!!
I feel like I'm bloated for no reason. I ALWAYS watch my sodium intake and keep it around 1500 mg a day. I haven't drank alcohol in, um... 3-4 days, haha. It's not that time of the month. Granted I could drink more water but why would I bloat in the first place?

Healthy homemade Chicken Florentine casserole!
I found this recipe at busybuthealthy.com and made it tonight, and it is SO delicious and amazing. Tastes just like an alfredo sauce but is made with pureed cottage cheese. Check this recipe out everyone, it is a keeper (that I will probably make every week, hahaha) Enjoy!…

Bloated from drinking water?
I decided to start drinking more water, and it's been a while since I drank this much in a day (I drank about 8 glasses). There are some days I go with only drinking a glass. Anyway my stomach and face are all puffy right now, is it from upping my water intake or from not getting enough?

Eating over recommended fat amount?
I've been either meeting my fat macro or eating over it, but unable to reach my calorie goal. Not wanting to go over my recommended fat amount, it's hard to find something without fat that is also high in calories. Any ideas?

Is it bad to eat an egg everyday?
I'm kind of in a rut. I've gained about 10 lbs since a few months ago (finished up college) and I thought being home would help me get back on track, but it doesn't seem to be since there are other food options (not so healthy) around the house. And I currently lack anything close to the discipline I use to have. The only…

Oh man, it's been forever. Help!
Alright, so I finally weighed myself after a few months because I've just suppressed the reality of my ugly eating habits and avoided the scale. Well, I have gained 10 lbs since probably around January. I'm freaking out now. I'm back home, so I'm not at school anymore (graduated college woohoo!) which is good, but I FORGOT…

I need help.
Been off track for about a month now - surprisingly have not gained anything on the scale, but I think that I visibly look puffier. I keep telling myself I will get back on track, but I really don't even remember how to do that. It started with final exams week where I obviously didn't cook for myself, and it just spiraled…

Gained 6 lbs in 4 days!!!!!
I'm pretty freaked out right now. Ever since I have been home for the holiday, four days ago, I have gained six pounds. The way I have been eating is disgusting, and a lot of alcohol has been involved as well. Like on days like today, I can't even begin to TRACK what it was that I ate. I just ate what ever was in sight and…

Weigh less than I look
Okay, so right now I weigh about 130 lbs. Sometimes I weigh 128. I really don't think I look like I weigh that little, maybe even ten lbs heavier than that at least!!! How can I look like the weight I actually am, or less?

Getting out of starvation mode
I had been eating 1000-1200 calories for the past 1-2 months, and recently just upped them to a healthier level. I don't know if my body is in starvation mode. I know that while I was eating such low amounts that it worked at first but then I just started maintaining, feeling like I lost muscle mass and feel like I look…

What the heck is going on?
Okay, so I feel real fat right now. Belly is definitely huge, fat on arms is definitely growing. No, I'm not exercising yet now that I'm back at college, I keep telling myself I will but I don't. My caloric intake had been mostly 1000-1200 the past two months or so due to no appetite because of medication I was taking, and…

Corn tortilla chips
Are they really bad for you? Not like I eat them all the time, but sometimes I just want corn chips with my taco salad/dip. Or a taco shell.. what about those whole grain taco shells?

Protein shakes
I just purchased Body Fortress Whey Protein (Strawberry) and have been drinking it in the morning on the way to class. I have yet to get back into an exercise regime including strength training. Is it possible this protein shake could make me gain weight?
