Increasing calories? Recovery?
Sorry this will be kinda long I've been struggling with an eating disorder for as long as I can remember. In April of 2014 I went to inpatient treatment. This was after multiple several month long hospital stays. When I left, I was fully weight restored. And was maintaining my weight at about 3000 calories a day. Since…

Broccoli and mustard?
Random thread. But does anyone like raw broccoli and cauliflower with mustard on it? It's super weird I think but I am a frequent snacker and I cannot stop eating crap like cereal out of the bag. Recently I started eating broccoli and mustard and it's so good and so filling. Also, I'm assuming it's pretty low calories as…

Quest vanilla protein powder with ice water?
am I the only one out there that likes quest protein powder mixed with just ice water? I also like it with unsweetened cashew milk or almond milk but my favorite thing honestly is water. I'm using the vanilla flavor. Anyone else like this? What's your favorite mix in

Salad calories estimation?
Can anyone help me estimate the calories in a large salad? I don't weigh my vegetables but I don't want to start doing that because it makes me very very obsessive. So I'm just looking for a rough estimate. My salads contain about 4 cups of iceberg lettuce. And probably 1-2 cups of a broccoli cauliflower and carrots…

Thinking about starting IIFYM?
Ok Iifym-ers, I'm really considering trying this, but I don't really know how you go about doing it. I mean I know basically it's like you have a certain ratio I think of macros or maybe it's a set number of grams but how does that actually work on an everyday basis? How do you pick the foods you eat? And to me it seems…

Quest protein powder measured in tbsp?
I know one scoop is 28g. But I'm trying to figure out how much one scoop is in either tablespoons or cups? I know you can't to a direct conversion but I wondered if anyone has measured. Thanks!

My scale has gone crazy (I swear)
So I'm fairly ocd about keeping my scale in the exact same spot because I have some idea that it makes it more accurate. And the other day I had weighed myself but while getting off accidentally scooted it across the floor. Just to make sure i hadn't done any damage I got back on it. Suddenly I'm 4 lbs heavier?? Got off…

Stupid Fitbit tracking stats questions
So I recently did the update to the fit bit software and now when I run or walk, it gives me my moral miles completed, time, and pace. But I don't understand the pace part. Like the other day (in the attached pic) I know I ran a little more than a 9 minute mile. But the pace has these apostrophes and quotation marks in it…

Cinnamon/ cayenne/ herbs and spices?
Hey everyone- I've recently been on a new medication that has caused a very rapid weight gain amongst other terrible side effects. I was happily maintaining my weight before the medication with about 30 minutes of exercise a day and walking my dog once a day. However with the medication it didn't matter how much I ate or…

New arctic zero!
So I have a feeling some of you may still hate this product but I just wanted to bring up one of my favorite things, arctic zero ice cream. I have always eaten it but didn't really like it (was one of those going to eat it till I like it things) because it always has a very icey watery texture. Well recently they've…

Water weight and water?
I have a few stupid stupid questions. I had posted earlier about undereating for the last 5 days like a dummy by accident, by approx.500 calories under. I want to get back to my normal intake but not gain weight in the process. 1. I know it's pretty unlikely to gain fat, but is water weight really possible? 2. I mean can…

Undereating and re-upping calories?
I made a horrible mistake and allowed myself to eat under my calories for a 5 day long vacation. I'm so pissed at myself I want to cry. I was about 550 calories under what I should/have been eating. If I go back to eating normally all of the sudden tomorrow, will I put on weight? I've been eating the same amount for about…
