Just curious...
What would the diet look like? (100% of all daily nutrient values) No particular reason, just curious what it would look like.

It's the little things!
I have been logging consistently, and have been under my calorie goal since Monday. I may not be logging completely accurately, but I'm happy with it. I have struggled a lot in the past with logging and binge eating. Not logging when I feel like I might have gone over and just throwing the towel in at that point and eating…

I'm having a hard time staying on track, and I'm looking for one or two people to be friends with on Facebook, I want to chat every day or close to it, I want someone that will remind me to meet my…

Apparently eating healthy has a weight limit
I am getting so sick of people telling me that I shouldn't be trying to control my eating cause I'm "not fat". I'm trying to recover from a year and a half of a sedetary lifestyle where I lost a lot of muscle mass and gained 30 pounds. I am aware that I'm not fat. (5'4" 146 pounds) But I am not where I want to be, and I'm…

Fat cells don't go away when you lose weight?
A person was arguing with me, saying that liposuction was a good idea because fat cells will only get smaller, and it's easier to grow the fat back if you don't get them removed. Is this total Bs, or legitimate?

Got a week off calorie counting
My 6 year old and I biked the Katy Trail last week for my vacation. 237.7 miles in 5 days. Biking all day with a 70-80 pound trailer works the calories off pretty well, lol.

Starting them young!
I am planning to take my son for a several day bike ride on my vacation, so we went for a trial run. This 6 year old just biked 50 miles on the Katy Trail all on his own power.

Help me with high protien meal ideas
I have been having a hard time getting enough protein in my diet, what good (not crazy high calorie) high protein foods (besides eggs) are your go to meals?
-
Word from the (now) wise
Yeah, apparently it isn't a good idea to eat 260 grams of fresh pineapple in 10 minutes. My mouth will be reminding me of that for a while, lol!

Are appetite suppressants always a bad thing?
Obviously it wouldn't be sustainable to take them forever. But is it really bad to use them moderately to help get over a hump?
-
Homemade yogurt?
Wou How do i do it? Would this yogurt work to start a batch of the homemade stuff? And how much would I need to add to one quart of milk?
-
Alternates for bananas in smoothies?
So my typical smoothie is about 2 cups of strawberries, a frozen banana, .5-.75 cup of milk and a quart of ice. The banana really helps give it a bit of consistency. Are there other things I could use if I'm out of bananas? Trying to stay low calorie of course. I don't like adding yogurt, I don't like the flavor it gives,…

Looking back
Sometimes I get discouraged how hard it is for me to lose these last 10 pounds. Then I have to look back and see how far I've come. I was never obese, just overweight, but everything is so much easier now! I actually had lost the last 10 pounds, but then I got a sedetary job, and gained it back over a year. Now I'm wanting…

Best sugar free or other low calorie drinks to replace soda at family functions?
So my son always wants a soda when we go to family's house. I don't mind him having some soda, but I'd prefer he not have it that often, especially since they usually want to give him a whole can. I am also looking for a drink that I can have as a treat now and then that is lower calorie/sugar instead of soda. I find that…
-
Sauteed peppers and onions?
So I had a fajita from a local Mexican restaurant. I never cease to marvel at the flavor of their peppers and onions. Even without all the oil they have in, I could eat a whole bowl of just the peppers/onions/mushrooms mixture. Normally peppers are a little bitter, but when you bite into these, there is nothing but amazing…
-
logging homemade strawberry jam?
I wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich today, and had no jelly, so I pureed about 3.5 cups of frozen strawberries, and boiled it down until it was thick enough. I can't really do a recipe, because I don't have exact measurements. My mom lightly sweetened the strawberries before she froze them, and I know boiling it…

Wonderland of salads!
Here a few weeks ago I realized I LOVE taco salads! And I only use maybe a loose quarter cup of meat with 2 cups of lettuce. Today I made a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, a hard boiled egg, and a sprinkling of cheese and salt, with no other dressing. It is AMAZING! I never realized how tasty some of these things are :D
-
Completely petty, but I miss the compliments
So when I first lost 25 pounds, everyone noticed, asked what I was doing differently, congratulated me. I could also eat more and lose back then. Now it's harder, I have to eat fewer calories to lose, progress is slower. I've been 'slim' for so long that people have forgotten that I was ever chubby. So instead of getting…

Banana Cake
I am wanting to make a banana pudding poke cake for my boyfriend's birthday using a couple of recipes. I am wanting to start with a banana cake. The recipe I have is to make a yellow cake mix according to the box, then add 2 mashed bananas mixed with a teaspoon of baking soda. I'm worried about it coming out too moist…

Homemade low calorie coffee creamer?
I'm thinking milk instead of cream, and add some extract and sugar?

Which cooking oil has fewest calories per unit?
Including butter, bacon grease, lard and so on. I'm not super picky about flavor, I tend to use whatever I have, and it works, lol.

Need tasty but fairly healthy pizza crust
So the pizza is ruined thread got me thinking, I need a good homemade crust recipe. Throw them at me, lol

Gained 3 pounds
Not technically worried, I gained 3 pounds when I started, then lost 5, now gained 3. TOM is coming around yadda yadda yadda. Still discouraging.

Constant munchies!
It feels like I am constantly fixated on food. I almost always want to be snacking on something. It almost makes me irritable when I am trying not to, I feel like a smoker who is quitting. When I get home, I want to be snacking on something until I go to bed. It's especially bad at my mom's house, (combination of the…

Wearing a knee brace while running and swimming?
I have one knee that I over extended a few years back, and it's been a little touchy ever since. Running too much can make it worse, so I just try to take it slow. I love to swim, but it seems that every time I swim, I end up twisting it, and making it worse. Would wearing a knee brace help that?

Only 125 calories left :(
I am hungry with only 125 calories left for the rest of the day. Apparently pizza and brownies arent great choices.

Is this a good protein supplement?
https://www.amazon.com/Designer-Premium-Natural-Protein-Unflavored/dp/B006WL2798/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1 Or would there be a better one? I'm mostly looking to add to existing food, not make as a drink, so I don't care about flavor, and I am mostly looking for cheapest.

Counting macros and micros
Can I do this on MFP? How do I determine what a good amount of each is? Currently cutting, and want to stay lean for the summer, but wanting to possibly clean bulk come fall. So I want to start keeping track now to get used to it.

Tell me it's ok that I slacked off
This morning I half-assed my workout. I typically do a bodyweight session 3 mornings a week and a running session the other 3 mornings with one complete rest day. My smoke alarm went off at 3am, and it took me an hour to settle back down. Then I'm up at 5 to workout. My knee was a little sore too, so I eliminated the part…

Wish fresh veggies weren't so expensive
I made myself a delicious carrot/broccoli/cauliflower cooked veggie combo and had some for breakfast. But for what it cost me I could have bought 3 huge bags of sugar cereal that would last me several months vs a week. It's sad. :D
