Am I a SELFISH person, need OPINIONS please!!!
So I've posted about my family on this site before in other threads, and their really screwed up attitudes towards body image and size, and the "unpleasant" comments I have gotten from them in the past. My parents think I was/am "fat" because I just ate unhealthy and was lazy. They still don't understand bulimia, binge…

Artichoke hearts recipes (not salads)?
I can't really have bread/pasta, but I was thinking either of artichokes, chicken, goat cheese, and asparagus on cauliflower pizza crust. I'm going to try a quinoa baked "mac n' cheese" w/ cauliflower, mozz, nutritional yeast, greek yogurt and then add the artichokes and feta/goat cheese on top and broil Today I ate them…

Weird, but pb or pb&j chicken?
Does anyone have a recipe for peanut butter chicken or something like baked chicken with some natural almond butter/peanut butter on top and baked grapes or some other fruit. I'm having insane cravings for something like this. I would make a pb&j burger, but prefer chicken and don't really eat bread. I could make a thai…

I always feel like I can go harder at the gym?
I try to push myself as hard as I possibly can when I go to the gym and try to eat as healthy as I can too. But recently, I haven't been getting "the pump" anymore after lifting. I'm lifting heavier and heavier, but my muscles are not as sore as they used to get. I actually used to like these feelings :( No matter how much…

Ripped leggings/tights @ gym?
Has anyone ever ripped their tights/compression shorts etc during something like squats or other exercises? I haven't yet, but terrified of this happening haha. I do legs and glutes 2-3x week, so its a possibility. The ones I usually wear are black or dark grey and I have a variety of materials (not really see through).…

Almost no sleep, should I lift or not?
So I know sleep is CRUCIAL for gains in muscle and/or preserving muscle while losing bodyfat. In the occasional scenario that I only get 2-3 hours of sleep, should I still workout? It's hard for me to sleep as it is sometimes, but often I'm up studying or working. I usually leave for the gym around 4am and do weights + 30…

Clean protein bars/powders, Vega!?!?
It's really hard to find good protein powders without sucralose and fake fillers, that also taste good. Out of the brands I have tried, it's been the best tasting so far. Vega has a lot of different clean (and vegan) protein powder supplements and protein bars, of which I have tried some of (and loved) but curious if…

Anyone bulking, who uses (plant-based) vega protein/bars?
It's really hard to find good protein powders without sucralose and fake fillers, that also taste good. Out of the brands I have tried so far vega has been the best tasting. Compared to the most common brands (I've been through a lot), it seems like vega is pretty "clean" (plant-based protein). My favorite so far is the…

Awkward question for women who wear sports bras?
Do your nipples ever show through? I don't wear a super thin one, it has some light padding, it's the fila brand but I don't think it's the bra. I was in the bathroom after some abs exercises yesterday and realized they were showing through the material! I wear a light tee on top of the bra btw. I freaked out and didn't…
-
How does the body use carbs from fake sugars?
So I think one of the reasons I go over in carbs, but I'm still under in cals is that I usually have some type of artifical sweetner in my protein powder. I alternate between vegan ones with stevia and my favorite cellucor flavors with sucralose. I abs hate sucralose and eating fake stuff in general but if they're zero…
-
Always go over macros, but still under calories?
I'm usually 0-10g over on carbs and protein and a little less on fat but still under my calorie goal. My diary is open, if it helps. I have a feeling this has to do with the carbs in truvia, the sweetner in my protein powder, and some protein bars, which don't have cals but still have carbs? Because I thought the only 3…

So what do you do when someone calls you fat to your face?
I've already always had not so great self-esteem/confidence, and everything was getting better, and I was working harder toward exercising and eating right. I was signing some paperwork this morning and my mom straight up told me, "Wow, you're getting big." And she poked my *kitten*. (She has no *kitten* btw). I had no…

Anyone who reached goal weight and gained some back??!!?
I really really really need your help and support. I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle of eating unhealthy and not exercising and then exercising for a couple days but eating right. I have no problem working out, I actually love to! But not when I've ate some ridiculous amount of food, and I just think what's the point? I'm…

No scale challenge- 75 days!
I'm not going to weight myself for 75 days, anyone else in? Simply because the scale is stupid and pointless. As so is bmi and "weight". When I was at a lower weight before, I looked bigger than I am now because I looked like I was carved out of fat (no muscle). My goals are to lose fat and keep/increase muscle, so…

Green tea, does it actually help?
I know studies have been done, but does it actually help to lose weight besides filling you up, substituting for other bevs, suppressing appetite? I heard that you have have 40 cups a day for it to make a difference? Does it have to be a certain type of green tea? I think matcha was said to be the best, but I'm def not…

How much greek yogurt do you eat per day?
I've been eating almost 2 cups of plain fat free fage everyday. Usually it's 1.5 cups, but just curious. I usually mix in protein powder, nuts seeds, butters, etc but now that I think of it, I'm going through like 1.5 of the giant 8 serving tubs. If cals didn't matter, I could easily eat 3-4 cups in a day. My diary is…

"You can't out train a bad diet" ???
So I've heard ^ a lot. As well as "abs are made in the kitchen", "eating is 90% of your results" etc. But what does that REALLY mean? You have to eat within your macros and get enough micronutrients to look good (muscle tone) or to avoid things like mcdonalds and greasy fast food and excess refined wheats because they…

Dating assistant prof?
Soooo... A friend informed me he thinks I'm cute (they are friends). Apparently he talks about me to her. I see him a couple times a week in class, he's more and more friendly now. I never noticed him before, until my friend told me this but I'm beginning to like him, noticing his "good" qualities, though we are really…

If you have abs "showing", PLEASE HELP me!!!
So I still have a lot of fat to lose (that I gained back + muscle), but once I get to a low enough body fat, will my abs still show if I'm eating whey with sucralose in it? When I was at my goal weight, I was eating pretty low amounts of sodium, carbs were mainly oatmeal, veggies, fruits, and I ate within macros. I didn't…

Better built arms or legs/butt on a woman?
Just curious, because I feel like I workout my arms more than my legs/butt and they're lacking. Are big triceps/shoulders/biceps weird on a woman as long as there is still some lower body def. or should it be the other way around? I'm not talking hulk arms btw, just definition and some mass. I might change from…

HOW TO ACCEPT YOU ARE FAT DURING A WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY?
I wrote more here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1198151-what-i-learned-from-failing-gaining-back-more-weight but does anyone else feel like "its going to take a long time" during the beginning of their journey and feel kind of depressed when realizing none of your clothes fit, friends/family think you're fat…

Ways to cook liquid egg whites?
Just looking for some ideas: I usually do egg whites w/ goat cheese and spinach or asparagus or make a protein mugcake out of them. I used to make pancake with them too, but out of syrup. Egg white "muffins" maybe?

What I learned from failing & gaining back more weight...
When I was at my goal weight (~118 lbs, toned, abs): -gym every morning at 4:30am -35 min cardio, 1 hr lifting -some abs and stretching, sometimes sauna -1 or 2 rest days a week -1650 cals a day (only tracked protein and cals) -always ate only from 12-8am, protein oatmeal before workout, greek yogurt and eggs/chicken…

Starting journey to fit from mia/bed NOW, tumblr anyone?
http://liftsforchocolate.tumblr.com/ I just made one today and decided I need to get serious about working out and eating right. I let binge eating and bulimia get the worst of me and I know only I can fix this. Basically going to cut for 12 weeks while eating on a deficit, lift weights, and cardio. Then reassess whether…
