Exercise ideas need!
I found out today that my little injury that made my fingers numb turned out not to be so little and now I have to see a neurologist and then probably a physical therapist. My doctor said that basically the only thing I can do is swimming, cause it won't affect my neck. Other than that I believe walking is acceptable... I…

Excercises with injury
I was going to start lifting regularly in August but then I hurt my shoulder a little bit and now I'm out of the gym for at least a week. I can't even do push-ups or any other type of exercise that involves me putting weight on my left arm, even yoga :( . I'll do some types of cardio or HIIT just to get moving in the…

How to calculate the weight of frozen fruits?
At the beginning of the summer I blended some strawberries and other fruits to make myself a "clean" sorbet for when it's hot. I don't remember how much strawberries or any other fruit went to one container before they were blended and 500 ml container weights about 750 grams. I believe that's because they're frozen but I…

From 1800 to 2000 kcal?
Hi! Currently I'm 173 cm (about 5'7''), 54 kg (119 lbs) and eating around 1800 kcal/day. When I counted my TDEE, it gave me roughly 2000 kcal/day and since I want to gain weight, I want to aim for that. The thing is, I want to gain muscles not just weight. Since I'm not 100% satisfy with how I look (minimal definition of…

Low fat?
I'm trying to follow IIFYM approach and I've discovered that I have the biggest problems with hitting fat numbers. I prefer carbs&protein (both 90% from whole grains and lean meats). So here is my question: what do you think about maintaining my fat levels at 20% with 25% protein and 55% carbs? I don't want to loose…

Alcohol and macros
I'm celebrating my friend's birthday today and I know I'll be drinking, therefore I got a question about alcohol: do you count it into your macros or don't?

Calories or macros?
I've just recently started IIFYM (or flexible dieting as some would say) and I have a question: which is more important: calories or macros? Before I started IIFYM I was more focused on calories rather than macros intake and now I sometimes go beyond my daily intake just to hit the macros. Should I "sacrifice" few grams of…

Nutrition info from package of MFP
I'm planning my meals for tomorrow and I found myself in a little bit of a pickle: I feel like the nutrition info on the package is waaay off (I'm planning on using frozen but pre-cooked prawns) with only 12 g of protein and 52 kcal per 100 g. I can't find similiar amounts anywhere in the Internet and in MFP database.…

Just started, looking for friends and advice ;)
Hi there, my name is Ania :) Today was my first day both with MFP and IIFYM and I have to admit, it's really difficult to hit everything daily, especially with fat. I was watching macros a bit earlier, but was mostly focused on the calorie intake and now with 25%/50%/25% I'm a little worried that 25% (=113 g) of protein is…
