Eating out?
Last night was my aunts birthday so we went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant for dinner. I ate really good all day (saved up 950 calories for dinner). The restaurant we went to doesn't have a website with nutritional information. I ordered a Chimichanga with chicken and cheese and a side of rice and black beans. I…

Do you eat before working out ?
I have been trying to have a protein bar (usually 200 calories) about an hour before I go to the gym. I guess my thought process is that it will give me more energy for my workout. Is this a good idea ( and is my timing right), or is this causing my body to burn off the food i ate vs. the fat I want gone?

Re-phrasing my previous question... do you eat (part 2)
I just read this in an article. "When you eat a meal, your body spends a few hours processing that food, burning what it can from what you just consumed. Because it has all of this readily available, easy to burn energy in its blood stream (thanks to the food you ate), your body will choose to use that as energy rather…

I am now down to 149 lbs. and have 27 %. If I am…

Am I wasting my time???
So the other day I am at the gym minding my own business huffing and puffing along on the cybex arc trainer when I made the dreaded mistake of making eye contact with one of the gym's trainers. This appearently was an invitation for him to come over and critique my workout plan. It started out casually enough " Hi my name…

Thoughts anyone???
I know that it is not good to consistently eat low calories (1200ish) but I was wondering if it is beneficial to occasionly dip down that low. (Create a larger deficit for a day or two). I like the idea, but don't want to do this if it will have no effect on weight loss. If anyone has input, it would be greatly appreciated.

Worried about calorie intake... please advise
I am a 24 y/o female I currently weigh 158. I am looking to lose roughly 10- 15 lbs. in the next few months. I am aiming for 1.5 lbs a week. According to MFP I should be consuming 1300 calories. I really feel like this is more then enough food, and I rarely feel hungry, but I am terrified of the ominous "starvation mode" I…
