protein + fat dinner idea?
OOps! Dinner is coming and I've already eaten all my carbs for the day. Now I'm left with 34g of protein and 25g of fat. I was planning on having white fish for dinner... what are your favorite white fish recipes that have lots of fat and no carbs? :)

Women multivitamin recommendation
Hi ladies, I am looking for a multivitamin that has no iron. I feel like my immune system needs the boost from a multivitamin, but when I was taking them in the past, I was constantly feeling side effects from the iron. Then my doctor got me to use psyllium to help with the side effects, but that only bloated me. So I…

Weight training from home
I recently started training with weights with Body Beast and I am in LOVE with weight lifting. From what I read here, it's a good starting point but eventually I will have to move on from it? What are programs that I can do FROM HOME that would be a nice follow-up?

Calorie adjustment?
I started Insanity Max 30 yesterday and it comes with an easy to follow meal plan which I don't have a problem following. I will be lifting weights twice a week with my husband - date night in our home gym! We'll be doing the Stronglifts 5x5 workouts, just twice instead of 3 times. I'm just wondering though, would you eat…

Macros?
Hi! It's been a while since I've been here! I've been successfully changing my body in the past year. I started by logging everything here and started my weight loss. I eventually found it cumbersome to log everything and started using the 21 Day Fix portion control containers and had great success with it too. In the past…

Question about the starvation mode myth
Ok, so I keep reading starvation mode is a myth. But, after being on a calorie deficit for months and working out 6 days per week, weight training and cardio, My weight loss has completely stalled. For months now, and I don't care much about scale, but inches aren't coming down. I was thinking maybe I should increase my…

So I was kind of out of control this weekend...
I have my eating and fitness regimen in check in general... I've been losing consistently over the past weeks, down to 133 from 139. I'm pretty sure with the weekend I just had, I'm up 2-3 pounds again. There was a bbq with friends and when chips, dip, hamburgers are involved, I seem to lose control. Then the next day,…

Help me!
I am so freaking hungry today! I haven't slept well in the past week, I can't work out due to an injury (well I do easy mat pilates work but that's far from my usual calorie burn) so I reduced my calorie intake accordingly... Plus, my hormones are acting up as TOM is coming... So I'm ravenous!! I already overdid my intake…

Sprained my ankle... Now what?!
I seem to have injured me ankle the other day, while trying to catch the bus. I twisted it, and on the spot, didn't think much of it. I jogged twice, and went on 4 bike rides since, but there is a spot above my ankle that hurts me more and more as I go, and maybe even looks a bit swollen. I will not jog or bike for a…

Stronglift 5x5
Hi, I'm considering starting Stronglifts 5x5 in the fall - I know it's far but right now I only want to play outside so I bike and run a LOT and any strength training I do is complementary and not the other way around. In the fall and winter though, when I'm less compelled to go outside, I like to focus more on strength…

Exercising through mononucleosis?
Hi! I was tested for mono 1 month ago, and never heard back so I figured I didn't have it. Got a call this morning, turns out I do have it but there was a long delay at the lab... I'm currently working out 6 days/week, 3 kettlebell workouts and 3 cardio (mostly spinning, swimming or running). I can feel the workouts have a…

Is calorie goal accurate?
Hi! I've been using MFP consistently for about 2 months now. Just for fun, I calculated my BMR on other websites, and my caloric intake seems to be lower everywhere other than here. I am wondering if I should be lowering my calories a bit in order to help things but I am a bit worried that this would bring my calorie…

Protein powders?
I have now been logging my food intake and exercise for 3 whole weeks! My goal is to lose .5lb per week and hopefully lose my last 5 pounds. I am 5'5", 130lbs and want to get to 125lbs which was my pre-baby weight. I was at 134lbs 3 weeks ago so logging seems to help me. In the first few days, I had a hard time staying…

New to MFP. Strength training not for me? Am I alone?
Hello! I am new here.. Well to the boards at least. I've been using MFP on and off in the past years in between pregnancies and whatnot. Now that family is complete, I am looking to lose the last 10 pounds or so, but seem to be unable so I started logging again to make sure I stay in the right calorie range. Anyway... I am…
