Calculate Recipies
Is there a website out there that will let me program out all of the ingredients for a meal and let me know what a serving would be in nutrition (such as one cup of a homemade soup)?

"We made this special dish just for you!"
I'm being a bit of a humbug, but its just awful to be put on the spot like that. I know people are trying to be nice, but really I hate the taste of mayonnaise. Potato salad and pasta salad and it was made especially for me along with a five minute gripe about how hard it is to cook for a vegetarian. And its all mounded up…

LARP
Are there any other LARP(Live Action Role Play) gamers out there? How do you log your exercise from a LARP event? If you use an exercise device (Fitbit Flex or the like) how do you blend it with your costume?

Working out of starvation mode
I have been dieting without a lot of results at 1200 calories. There doesn't seem to be a lot of agreeing information on the subject but it has been suggested that I may be putting my body into starvation mode. I'm going to try a 1300 calorie diet for a while, has anyone else had any success with moving up in calories?

Wearable, comfortable and subtle heart rate monitor?
I am looking for a wearable, comfortable and subtle (nothing bulky or gaudy) heart rate monitor that might do calories burned as well. The Flexbit series looks nice, but I have heard it doesn't do heart rate.

Weight Gain with a 1200 calorie diet.

Veggie Protein
I see a lot of people saying to have 100-125g of protein (MFP gives me a goal of 45). What is an affordable vegetarian option that won't put me over on calories (1200+exercise)?

What is a safe heart rate?
I have been exercising for about a month now. I really do best on the elliptical, and I have avoided the treadmill because I have been told you can damage your knees more with running. My only problem is around the 10 min mark, my heart rate is at 190. Is this too high? What can I do to bring that number down? My resting…

Knee flexibility and strength
My knee flexibility is really lacking, and my knees tend to lock and pop when I do leg exercises. Anyone have any experience with this and with improving leg flexibility. I'm a bit squeamish too, so its difficult for me to make myself do things that make my joints shift uncomfortably. Thanks!

Trying to trim down
Just joined MFP today. I have been dieting and exercising 2-3 times a week for about a month now. I have lost a half pound in that time. I work in an office where I am very mentally busy but I rarely do more than walk a little. I often am required to stay late and unfortunately cannot manage more than 2-3 times a week. I…
