High protein but lower fat
I've been trying to eat higher levels of protein recently, because I want to help maintain muscle and also so I, theoretically, eat fewer carbs. Currently my goal is set as 110 grams, 0.7 grams per pound of body weight. But I'm having trouble reaching even that, and when I do manage to reach it I'm almost certainly over my…

1000 calories over breakfast/lunch, variable dinner - will this work?
Hi MFP! It's been a long time since I was last on here, but I've decided that I want to lose weight again as I've gone up to about 11 1/2 stone (not sure exactly, I don't have a set of scales at home, I'll find out when I can). I want to get down to around 10 stone again. Thing is, I live with my parents now and we always…

Night runners, yo!
So...when I am actually on a regular running schedule, I tend to end up running sometime after midnight. Today, for example, my run was between 1:30 am and 2 am (it's currently 2:40 am). I live on a campus that I feel safe enough being out as a lone woman at night on, and because I tend to either be studying, with friends,…

Which do you prefer? Logging by meal or logging by time?

I haven't run in two weeks
I'm about to go for a run now. Please leave me messages so I don't feel like cr@p when I get back? I know my time's going to be dismal; I need some support, some hope I'm not a failure for not having run for two weeks.

Plateau in running
So I've been running for about 9 weeks now. I try to run four times a week but sometimes only manage once, though I've not skipped any weeks totally. Over the first five weeks my pace per kilometre dropped from 10 minutes to 7 minutes, but over the last four weeks it has plateaued at ~7 min/km. I run both treadmill and…

Zombies, Run! Where are you, Runner 5?
"Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But zombies are coming, So run faster maybe?" Any one else run along to Zombies, Run? I don't just mean the 5k app (though that's cool too) - I mean the full app. I downloaded it over summer and started using it a month ago. I find it really motivational! It's been a lot more…

Is a 500 calorie net deficit a reasonable amount?
Just getting started on weight loss this week and so working out what my limits should be and all that. Started on Tuesday and until yesterday my net deficits were averaging about 830 (calculated using a TDEE of 2050 + that day's exercise). I thought it was going well until Friday evening, when I went for my usual run, and…
