Clean eating or Calorie Counting, which one is it?
I get so discouraged seeing some of these Fitness Guru's either on Instagram or Youtube saying that they got all their results from eating clean and organic. But here on Fitness Pal, I've seen a lot of people say you don't have to eat clean to get the results you want. I go back and forth and get confused sometimes on what…

Morning workout or after work?
When do most people on here workout? I'm curious. When I was in high school I had no problem getting up in the morning and doing a workout but now I just find it impossible. I'm way to tired and always find myself hitting the snooze button. And sometimes after work, stuff comes up and I just don't the chase. How does…

Is eating two slices of bread a day bad?
I have a slice of toast in the morning, and then a sandwich (half of one) for lunch. i'm just trying to switch up my lunch, I normally have chili. I have heard alot of people on here mention "wheat belly", and that whole wheat bread is actually bad to eat everyday, and will give me belly fat.... Theres so many different…

Why the heavy lifting and lots of protein?
This is a legit question, and I am not trying to be annoying or anything before people on here attack me. But a lot of people on here say that in order to get a "toned" body you MUST lift heavy and eat a lot of protein. My sister eats very little protein, under 100 grams, if not under 80 grams, she's the same height as me…

Is it okay to eat Extra Lean Ground Beef everyday?
I like to have Chili for my lunch, I feel like it's perfect to get some veggies in, some protein and I cook it in my slow cooker on the weekend and I'm set all week. I have tried Extra Lean Ground Turkey and it is DIGUSTING, no matter what I do to mask the taste, I just hate it. I know it's less calories and has less…

Should I weight myself weekly or monthly?
Normally I weigh myself weekly, but after my cheat day I had a doctor's appointment and he weighed me and I had gained 3 pounds!! I'm assuming that was water retention. So I try not to weigh myself daily. But I see a lot of people on here recommend monthly? Weekly or Monthly?

I go over on my saturated fat, should I be concerned?
I go over by a couple of grams and I know it because I have a slice of bacon every morning and extra lean ground beef in my chili? Should I be concerned with how much fat I get? I get like 50 grams a day.

you can't lose stomach fat if you don't eat "clean"?
A lot of people say "abs are made in the kitchen" Does that mean, eating a deficit? Or does that mean I have to eat super clean in order to see any definition in my abs? I relatively healthy, but I don't eat "clean".

Whey Protein with just milk?
I haven't tried it yet cause I'm kinda nervous it will taste disgusting. Normally, I will put Whey Protein in a shake, but if I just wanted a cup of milk and put a scoop of whey protein in there, would it taste okay? Does anybody else do this?

Cooking Eggs in Bacon fat...is that really bad?
I will be honest, I have one slice of bacon every morning, I know it high in fat but I enjoy having one piece and my breakfast keeps my full for hours. But after I'm done frying the bacon, I will put my two eggs in the same pan and make sunny side up eggs and dip one piece of whole wheat toast in the yolk with a half a…

Chicken Thighs-Are they bad for you?
I have been trying to eat Chicken (for more protein in my diet) twice a week at least in my lunch. I just can't with Chicken Breast, no matter how I cook it, it's bland and dry to me. Maybe I just can't cook, who knows lol. But I like the taste of Chicken thighs better, if I buy Skinless Chicken Thighs, is that bad? or…

I eat 1200 calorie, why is that bad?
So I see so many threads saying that eating 1200 calories a day is bad. And I can see how it would be bad if I ate like that everyday. But, from Monday-Friday, I normally eat a net of 1160-1200 calories but Saturday, I have a cheat day where I probably eat a good 4000 calories of just straight up junk, but you know what it…

Can you really eat "clean" your whole life?
I'm curious, I originally lost weight, went from 150 to 110 pounds a couple of years ago. I ate CLEAN, I mostly just ate salads, fruit salads, and chicken. Then, I gained the weight back, not only was I not eating enough calories when I lost the weight, I was depriving myself of everything I loved. Pasta, burgers, Pizza…

Mifflin-St Jeor vs Harris-Benedict
Which one of these are more accurate, because when I got on Scooby Calculator to calculate my TDEE, both methods give me a different number, Harris-Benedict gives me more calories while St-Jeor gives me about 150 calories less? Which one should I be following?

My macros and calories don't match, should I be worried?
I am going by my TDEE - 20% which is 1700 calories I almost never reach 1700 calories, I normally hit about 1400 but my macros never match. I reach 1400 and if I wanted to eat more to get to 1700, I would go over on one of the macros. Is that something i should be worried about? Or is it all calories in vs out?

TDEE and Net Calories
I have posted on this before, but this is a little bit different of a question.. My TDEE is about 1600, I understand that it includes exercise. On MFP I put Sedentary, it calculates 1200 calories for me (which is about what I eat) but I set my calories to 1600. I eat a net of about 1200 a day except for on my cheat days.…

Should I watch my Sodium intake?
I've been pretty good at keeping my sodium pretty low. But should I even be watching my Sodium? If I go over or hit my 2500 for the day, does that stall my weight loss?

Are Panko breadcrumbs bad?
So I have decided to have chicken for my lunch as a way to add more protein to my diet, but plain old chicken breast is just boring to me and I know I won't stick with eating it everyday if its just plain. So I went to Sobey's and bought Kikkoman's Panko "breadcrumbs" and baked my chicken with the breadcrumbs. The…

How does TDEE work?
I know there are many threads on this, but reading them I'm still confused. My TDEE to lose weight at 20% is 1660 calories. But people say that includes exercise. So does that mean if I generally burn 200 calories during a workout I should be eating 1860 calories to lose weight, or does that mean I need to be eating 1660…

Am I eating to many carbs?
Right now I am doing Focus T25 and Shaun T recommends I eat 1600 calories. I almost NEVER reach that. I had a pretty bad week last week and this week I've been sick so I haven't eaten that much. But I normally eat about 1300 calories and burn about 200 doing T25, I don't eat back my exercise calories because my…
