Vanilla Protein Powder
Today I got some vanilla protein powder; 110 calories, 0g. fat, 0g. carb, & 25g. protein! I am looking to make a healthy, yet low calorie protein shake. I prefer it to be under 250-300 calories considering it will be my meal 1 for the day and I am still trying to lose weight. I thought about making a peanut butter protein…

Weighing Canned Veggies?
Hello everyone. I have been on my weight loss journey for 5 years and I recently just starting weighing my food by the gram. I have noticed that my canned veggies, for instance, green beans I had tonight – weight less than the can says per serving for the whole can. For instance there are 3.5 servings in my can of green…

Hello MFP! :)
Hello, everyone! :) My name is Teria, I'm 20 years-old from a small town in the state of Kentucky! A little bit about me & my journey is that when little, I was always considered "normal" with my weight. When I was about 12 years-old I was put on steroids due to my health problems which caused me to gain a ton of weight.…

Frozen Shrimp
I bought some frozen shrimp tonight and I am wanting to grill it out on the grill and make kabobs! However, does anyone know what kind of spices to use? I was going to use a Chinese type of sauce I found at the store, but 35 calories for 1tbsp. and 820mg. of sodium! Do I even need any sauce to put on them? Interested to…

Strawberry Protein Powder?
The other day I bought some strawberry protein powder for after my workouts and it tastes so gross.

So far I've added frozen fruits to it and…

Not losing weight?
I'm following a 1200 calorie diet, but I am NOT losing anymore. It's like I am at a pleteau. Yes, sometimes I admit that I only get in 600-800 calories in. NO I AM NOT ANOREXIC. However, could eating too few calories cause me to not be losing anymore? Or should I up the exercise. I do about 6 miles jogging per day and…

I do not understand why this happened to me?
I had a VERY good two weeks. I lost 3.5 pounds and I was extremely happy. I decided to have a cheat meal which I did not log. It was pasta with breadsticks and salad. Water to drink. I went from 151 to 163 just today!! How did this happen? I lost 3.5 pounds only to gain 12 overnight??

Scale Addictions!!!
Well, this is it for me. I am absolutely fed up with the scale!! This morning I weighed in at 158 and now I am 161 by tonight and to see it go from a 5 to a 6 was extremely discouraging for me. It actually makes me want to just eat and eat and eat! Instead of weighing once/twice a day I must vow to weight once per week! I…

Help on self-control... BED
Lately I have gained about 40 pounds. Probably in the past year or so. However, I would not say I fell off track because I don't believe that would be the case. I workout at least five days per week and I am a cardio bunny. I don't exactly count my calories but I do watch my macros. Nevertheless, at night I binge badly.…
