Calories in Raw Coconut (2000!!!!??)
So I bought a coconut at the grocery store, and ate it for breakfast this morning. I'm talking about the kind with the dark, wood-esque exterior that you have to crack open with hammer, or chuck at the pavement. This is a mature coconut, not the "baby" coconuts where the meat is still gooey, and you have to peel all the…

Binge Confessions
Hopefully no one really has to ever use this thread, but I'll start it off with the binge that inspired this group: It started off with dinner on friday night -- bread from the bread basket at dinner, and a huge froyo for dessert... about a 2.5k day, really not that bad, considering I biked ~60 miles that day... but for…

losing weight as an endurance athlete who lifts?
So here's my story: I lost alot of weight before i started cycling competitively. Right now I'm training to race bikes at a pretty high level. I bike like ~15 hrs per week, and lift heavy weights ~10 hrs per week. (Like *heavy*, sets at 3 reps). It's the off season right now, and I need to lose like 10 lbs. But its just…

No BINGES for the rest of the year SUPPORT GROUP
Hey Everyone, So I do really well for like 3 weeks, and then I bake a pan of brownies and eat the whole thing. I was thinking it might be helpful to have a challenge group of people with similar binge issues... my idea is that if I talk myself into eating everything in sight, I'd have to post and explain why I think it's…

I'm really excited to start it, but I'm currently half way through a second round of P90X, and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions -- should I finish my second round of P90X first, or should I jump right into P90X2? As far as fitness goes, I would say I'm in…

any collegiate cyclers out there?
I'm wondering if any myfitnesspal people are cyclists? I'd love to befriend a few. I'm curious what you do about calories, as it's typical on a training day that I'll burn 3000 calories just in a ride. Plus I'm about to add P90X2 to the mix. I mean, the amount of money I'd have to spend on food if I was eating even half…

Look over my 5k training plan (plus some running food Q's)
I'm planning on running a 5k in october, and like many others, I'd like to decrease my time from my current 9 minute miles down to 8 minute miles. Right now, I run almost every day, with a variety of types of runs - be it interval, long runs (up to 7 miles), tempo runs, relaxed runs... etc. But with almost no rhyme or…

Goal Setting (and Lean Body Mass) Help
Hi Everyone, I started my weight loss journey at about 207, and now that I'm in the 150's I decided to re-evaluate what my final goal is. I'd always thought I'd aim for about 125, as that's the weight I was when I was doing gymnastics, and super fit in high school. Maybe even lower than that, because I never really…

full and then very hungry
I've been doing this whole calorie counting thing since January, and have lost almost exactly 40 lbs. I've felt great the whole time, never tired, or overly hungy, or overly full. I eat 1200 calories per day, and don't eat my exercise calories. I try to spread it out into three larger meals of 300 calories, and two smaller…
