Protein shakes
I just invested in some whey protein for me to use on a workout day. I like to workout in the early mornings before breakfast (like 6-7am), and have heard that you should consume the shakes after working out. However, I do like to eat a proper breakfast, and feel I would be too full having the shake in addition to this?…

Hellofresh calorie count estimates a bit out?
https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/recipe/week/current/ I'm having the minted lamb burgers for dinner tonight However, the calorie count per burger (as that's one serving) is over 1000, that seems a bit off to me. Putting the values into mfp recipie builder, it comes out more around the 500 mark which seems much more reasonable.…

Confusion about calorie count on meat?
Hi, I'm having lamb and sweet potato curry for dinner, but the calorie label says: Per 100g(ovenbaked) So, is this the calories in the lamb if I was to weigh it after it has been cooked? Or is it the calories in the raw weight? The weight of the lamb pieces are 500g raw, and I'll be eating 1/3 of this; so that is around…

Burning calories after exercise?
I know alot of people on this website eat back their exercise calories-as do I However, this method doesn't take into account the 'afterburn' calories, i.e the calories burnt after you finish exercising. In alot of studies, it has been proven you continue burning calories even after exercise (well, at least more than you…

Cheat days on maintenance calories?
This weekend, I went out to dinner and got a huge rack of bbq ribs and chocolate cake for pudding. Combined with drinking alcohol, I probably racked up about 4000 calories this day. This isn't usual for me, but I maintain at about 2000 calories per day. My question is, do I now need to 'make up' for this weekend's splurge…

Back from my holiday...
So, I went to a festival last week and feel like I gained masses from alcohol. After looking at the scale, there's maybe a 1 or 2 pound difference but I regularly fluctuate up to this level anyway. The question is, should I go back to eating my maintenance calories, or eat under maintenance calories again for a week or so…

Advice on quitting sugar?
I think sugar makes me into a crazy lady that wants to do nothing but eat, even when I'm not hungry. So I've decided to really cut down on it. Should I just go cold turkey, and then reintroduce it as a treat now and then? And what about sugar in fruit? Should I quit that for now, then after a week or so, be able to have…

Never feeling satisfied?
I recently upped my calories to around 2000 a day to try and maintain my weight after loosing 27 pounds. This was great at first, I could finally enjoy food. However, now the problem I face is that I never feel satisfied. Even after eating a huge dinner (I just had around 250g of mince in my bolognese I just cooked) I…

Ive recently lost alot of weight by eating around 1200-1500 calories per day, however I broke my diet ALOT ( at least 1 or 2 times per week due to social life, where I would get through alot of calories due to alcohol consumption, or through eating burgers at resteraunts.)
