Ate more and gained or lost a little
So, my weight loss slowed down, and everyone said eat more. So I ate more, but it didn't make much of a difference. I'm realizing that MFP's BMR for me is probably not accurate and that my TDEE is much higher than what MFP considers maintenance calories. So with that being the case, can someone explain why I didn't see…

So how are the FitBits working out?
I've been thinking about ordering one. I would like to hear reviews of the MFP synchronization program. Did you find that it helped to facillitate your weight loss? I've been losing real slowly for months now, and I think I am not burning as many daily calories as MFP has calculated for me. I was thinking the FitBit might…

My body zigged when it should have zagged
For those who have met their goals... how did you handle it when you did everything right and your results were not as expected? How did you keep your focus mentally?

You might be a troll if...
...you know it is true because you read it somewhere on the internet. ...you have lost 2 lbs in 3 weeks and now are an authority on everything diet and fitness. ...you thought this was a "fitness" site but still opened the thread titled "vent" anyway.

Question for the men
Does playing "hard to get" really work on men? If a girl gives you all kinds of signals that she likes you, and you throw a few back, but she turns you down on an offer... like say a ride home... would you think she is not into you or would you think she is playing "hard to get"?

Greek yogurt question
Does it freeze well? I was thinking of trying something with it, but I don't want to waste my time if it is going to turn out nasty.

Quinoa?
What is the texture of quinoa like? Is it like corn meal? I have this recipe that I want to make healthier. It is a casserole and generally I use corn muffin mix on top. I haven't been able to think of a good substitute for the corn muffin mix. I have never tried quinoa before. I was wondering about the texture and if you…

Substitutions for cornmeal or corn muffin mix
I have a casserole recipe. It is an original recipe. It is: Ground beef cooked with peppers and onions, a layer of pepper jack cheese, a layer of black beans, and a cornbread topping I usually just use corn muffin mix for the topping, but I would like to find a healthier substitution and I am looking for suggestions.

1 lb of protein per lb of lean muscle
Is this before or after exercise calories? Because it is hard enough to get there before exercise!

Eating back my exercise calories is really hard some times. Should I just not exercise as much??

Increasing Protein
How do I get more protein from whole foods? I do a lot of supplements; protein shakes and protein bars. But I don't want to rely on them. Suggestions?

Protein (new info)
So I have seen many times on the forums wheres people ask if it is possible to get too much protein. It is usually followed with many claiming that you can't get too much protein, and that MFP's goal is too low. Well I got curious and did some googling and discovered lots of potential harmful benefits of eating too much…

Squats and lunges
I have osteoarthritis. I have been wanting to develop a complete strength training program for myself. The only problem is that my knees make that crunchy noise when I attempt to do squats and lunges. I know that strengthening those muscles will help improve the OA in my knees, but the physical therapist that I used to see…

Could my plateau be from stress?
Let me start by saying that I am not technically on a plateau, meaning that my weight has fluctuated, but since Thanksgiving I have only maintained around the same weight. It was around that time that I decided to purchase a home. Since then, as one can imagine, various things have gone wrong, and my stress levels have…

Need Plateau Help
I'm not really on a plateau, but I have been hovering around the same weight for 6 weeks now. I've done everything. I've upped my intake and lowered my intake, increased my activity and decreased my activity. I increased my strength training and incorporated weights. I can definitely see changes in body composition which I…

Question for the experts!
I want to build more muscle AND burn fat. I strength train 3 days a week and do cardio daily. I used to keep a deep calorie deficit, but I find that to be ineffective now that I am strength training so much. Should I eat a calorie surplus on my training days and/or avoid cardio?

It's not safe...
I've noticed a trend recently. It is not safe to post to the forums if your profile is public. Posting to the forums apparently subjects one to all manner of scrutiny. From your profile message to your profile pics, if you have anything there that someone else can scrutinize you can expect that they most certainly will. So…

Is it okay to go over on carbs?
Let me start by saying that I am obese. Initially, I was not eating back exercise calories, and I saw a significant loss. That loss has since slowed down and I have been experimenting with the idea of eating back my calories. So far, so good. It's more opportunity to ensure that I get the protein that I need. Except, that…
