Maximizing Macros.
I am trying to make my macros work for me (Keto style). I have 5g of carbs left, but lots of protein and fat. I need some carb free staples to throw into the mix! Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Need help getting started
I have been reading about ketosis for months now, researching, and planning - I need help getting started though, as I don't want to screw it up and gain instead of lose. I am my heaviest right now 180lbs, and would like to lose at least 40 lbs by february 2018. Seems realistic, but I'm struggling to get to even 179 right…

Home equipment - what do I need?
I am trying to lose weight, and tone. Currently, I run aprx 5K every other day, and would like to compliment this cardio with strength training. I don't have space for any fancy bow-flex or what not, and currently I only have a couple of 5lb dumbbells. I'm 5'2, 162lbs (aiming for 130ish). I have zero experience in weight…

Running and weight gain/loss
I have been losing weight steadily since the beginning of March, then added the running program last week and am now up a pound. Nothing as changed in my diet - it can't be muscle gain from running 3 times, can it? * I know. I need to put the scale away. I did this morning, but I'm frustrated none the less.
-
"muscle vs. Fat"
Yes. Muscle weighs more than fat. I lost 10 pounds (yay!) then started exercising - no change in diet - and am now starting to see weight GAIN. I know muscle weighs more, but at what point will I start to see weight LOSS again, while remaining active. I'm running 3-5 times per week, doing interval training. * Edit: Thank…

Getting enough calories
Can someone explain the "eat more calories, and lose more weight"? According to MFP, I am not eating enough calories most days. I don't disagree, but I'm not hungry either, and I had been focusing on WHAT goes into my body, more so than "how much". Am I stalling my weightloss, but not eating enough? (Please just a simple…

Running with Audio books
Does anyone run with audio books instead of music? Suggestions? I'm thinking of trying it with something like Mindy Kaling/Tina Fey - where it should be funny, and read by the author. My hope is that it keeps me distracted from the running, and more focused on the story :)

Audio books
Last year when I did the C25k program, I had awesome playlists. This year, I'm going to try audio books - I'm thinking of starting with Mindy Kaling, or Tina Fey - as they are the narrators. Has anyone else been running with Audio books? I'm excited to start!

the database.
I had atlantic salmon for lunch. Grilled. I weighed it before I ate it, and it was 9oz. When I put it in the database, there were so many options, I have no idea which is correct, and they range from 300 cals - 1900 cals. I'm starting to question the accuracy! Which do I believe? I know which one i WANT to believe, but you…

Water intake
I know water is good for you in general, and the loose guidelines are 8 cups a day. Is there a benefit to drinking MORE when trying to lose weight?

Fast food / ordering in?
What are your go-to places to order in, on a low carb diet. I've been really strict with home cooked meals, but I need something quick and easy on occasion. I'm thinking something like Swiss Chalet, where I could order chicken with a salad, or steamed veggies would be good. Any other suggestions?

Cravings
what do you turn to for snacks when a carb craving comes along? I'm new to this and trying to avoid my usual snacky things like a muffin, cookie, toast and cereal (not all at once lol).

(tracking) Staying within Cals, but going over on sugar etc.
I have a MFP question (I hope this is the right place to ask). So I've been doing fairly well with tracking everything and staying within my calorie limit, but I find I will go over or fall short on specific categories. Ex. this morning, I bought a "green goodness" drink from the grocery store, and because it's all fruit,…
