I put a little bit of weight on, but lost it again so really happy with that. As i only want to…

Calling all you scientific boffins - why is this?
Hi All Yesterday i was looking through my freezer at what to have. I have bought some Mccain Jacket Smilies which are small pre cooked jacket potatoes that are frozen so all you have to do is microwave them (or put them in the oven) and you have a lovely oven cooked potato.

Recommendations for hair loss
Hi All I have suffered with hair loss for a very long time. I'm inclined to think it is because i am a vegetarian so in the past 17 years i have been malnourished in some way which has caused this. (i.e. before i started cleaning up my diet) I'm just wondering if any other vegetarians or indeed meat eaters have suffered…

What are the best carb free / low carb foods for veggies??
Hi I was just wondering what the best low carb foods were for veggies to eat and still be full up. I think i eat way too many to fill me up such as pasta, and potatoes, but also find that i need a decent amount of fibre to keep me regular which seems to come in the form of carbs. They also seem to be in a lot of vegetables…

How do i use MFP with my TDEE?
Hi Just a quick one please I have decided to go with TDEE -20% which is 1750 calories a day. Now MFP only lets you set your net calories, so should i set it to 1500 and eat 250 of my excercise calories back daily, or set my net to 1750 and not eat my exercise calories (which will always then show an under-eat of calories…

Does it matter where the calories come from?
Hi All If you need to up your calories - does it matter where the extra calories come from? I.e. is it better to eat lots of low fat low cal foods to increase it, or will having less higher caloried food do the same thing as long as they both mount up to the same calories? So could you increase by having a chocolate bar a…

Is too little really a reason for not losing weight???
Hi All Can too little calories genuinely stop you losing weight?? I weigh in once a week and this week haven't lost any weight at all. Surely any deficit should cause a weightloss (even if some of you think it might be an unhealthy one) so eating less than my calories should surely mean there is some loss?? How the heck…
