Favourite meal 2 hours before working out?
Dinner time is around 6pm. I've recently started a circuits class at 8pm. Suggestions for dinner? Would you have a normal dinner (for me usually something like - meat with small potato & veggies) or a smaller dinner (like soup/salad) followed by a snack when get home at 9pm? Thanks :)

Lose weight the week i eat over my calorie allowance
Morning all, MFP allocates me a daily allowance of 1200 calories. I tend to gain at least 300 calories per day exercising (spinning 4 days a week and walking baby the other days) so eat 1500-1600/day. I have noticed the weeks where I only eat 1200 I don't loose weight. However, the likes of last week when I didn't log as…

Indian Takeaway Options
Meeting with a friend for an Indian tomorrow evening and looking for healthy options please? I usually go for the creamy options such as tikka masala, korma, rogan josh. What would be less calorific but tasty? Thanks.

What do you eat before/after workout?
I go spinning on a Monday and Tuesday evening at 6pm, straight after work. I have a slice of toast with banana around 4-4.30pm then a proper dinner at 7.30pm when home. This works well. However, on Thursday evenings I go to spin at 8pm. I find this a difficult time for what to eat before/afterwards. I am home at 5.30pm. I…

Before and during piccies - 1/2 way to target after baby
I find seeing in black and white the calorie intake everyday is a huge motivational boost. If I didn't track calories on here i'd probably eat double what I do. I had a baby 11weeks ago, which ended in an emergency C-section, meaning I couldn't exercise properly for 6-8wks. I then started walking everyday and started JM 30…
