Carbs... friend or foe?
There is so much conflicting info out there on carbs. Some say Keto is the way to go, others say you must eat carbs in order to lose weight. Some say forget counting carbs all together and just watch your calories. Then there’s the whole “watching macros” deal that makes no sense to me whatsoever. Where do you get those…

Note to self... (and a public service announcement)
When baking an angel food cake, make sure the rack is lowered first. It’s a “growing” cake... therefore, it will grow... thus taking over the heating element above if not on a lowered rack... thus making a huge mess... 🤦🏼♀️

Editing a recipe?
Is there a way to go back in and edit a recipe after you create one?

Feeding the 4 o’clock beast...
Any of you guys know him? Shows up for me when it’s been hours since lunch and not quite supper time yet. I’m probably doing my early afternoon snack wrong, because I’m starving by 4. Anyone have any good snack suggestions to help tame the beast, lol?

BMI/weight question
I’m 5’9 and am obese with a BMI of 32. I’ve yo-yo’d with my weight all my life. In 2011, I lost 50 pounds and went from a size 16 to a 6 in less than 7 months. (Yeah, diet pills. I know it wasn’t good for me.) At 160 pounds, I looked gaunt. Everyone told me I literally looked sick and I should quit dieting. But the diet…

What’s for dinner?
I tried some broiled tilapia fish tacos tonight! Made with carb balance tortillas, super blend cabbage mix, low fat cheese, and some Greek yogurt mixed with salsa, yum! Anyone else want to share?

40, looking for friends wanting to lose their age in pounds 😊
Hello. 😊 Not a newbie, in fact I’ve been off/on MFP for over 9 years now. Nowhere near new to dieting either. I’ve yo-yo’d all my adult life. I’ve tried just about every diet out there. I recently quit my first time trying Keto (even though I dropped 6 pounds the first 10 days). I just couldn’t handle all the…

Ulcer friendly recipes?
I have been forced by my body to get back into a good diet plan. Stomach ulcer issues have made it necessary to take a break from red meats and cut back on fats and sodium. I'm looking for some good recipes that fall into this category. Anyone dealing with stomach ulcers have any favorite go-to meals?

Newbie... planks??
Hey, guys. Quick question... I haven't been on MFP for a long time and just got back on today. I was wanting to log in my planks but can't seem to find the appropriate exercise in the app. Are planks called something else on here? Or am I just missing it? Also, is it normal for your muscles to shake really bad while…

Carboholic!!
Any one else out there addicted to all the bad carbs? (Yes, I believe there are actually good carbs, don't shoot me, lol.) Need new friends to help motivate me with my second try at MFP. I'm a a busy lady with lots of distractions and an emotional eater to boot. Send me a friend request if you'd like!

Vitamins??
I've heard diet specialists talk about the importance of taking OTC vitamins while dieting. I'm an RN of 12 years and know that some "cheap" vitamins consist of more filling than vitamins and are useless to take. I realize we get vitamins from the foods we eat as well, but like many women my age, I simply don't have time…
