Resources for nutrition info - carbs, fat, protein, oh my!
Hi all, I am currently using myfitnesspal to track my food intake only. I am a healthy weight - lift weights 3 times a week, and my cardio probably totals a little over 3 hours each week. I am so lost as to how many calories I should be eating and how much protein, fat, and carbs I need each day. I just did a little Google…

emotional eating!
Hi all I'm sure this comes up pretty frequently, but I'm wondering what your tips are for avoiding emotional eating. I am not sure why I am suddenly wanting to eat so much, but I think it's more stress related than anything else. When I say emotional eating, I don't mean I'm pigging out with a gallon of ice cream or a row…

Hi all! I have been going to the gym for about 3 months now (with a little hiatus over the holidays). I have been going 3x a week, doing both cardio and full body strength training each time, mixing up the machines and exercises I would do.

healthy beverages (besides water)
Hi all, I wanted to see what some of your non-water beverages of choice were (non-alcoholic :wink:). I am trying to drink only water but it is extremely difficult. I bought some lemons to make it more palatable, but this doesn't work if I am on the go. I used to drink a ton of diet V8 splash, and I also love diet Snapple.…

added sugars
Hi all! I am currently reading a book called "Eat Your Way to Happiness", and I am up to the chapter discussing added sugars. I hardly ever eat 'junk food' (candy, etc.), and thought I was doing great with my sugar intake. However, what I DO eat really adds up. The book says it is not natural sugars (fruit, etc.) that you…
