Thoughts on Under Eating When Not Hungry
So I'm supposed to eat 1200 calories a day, anf with my activity level lately and eating back those calories, it's actually between 1400 and 1600 these days. The last few days in particular I haven't had any appetite. I have been practicing eating only when I'm hungry, and have found at the end of both days that I hit…

Need Food Ideas!
Hey guys; so I came back to MFP to track my calories, because I am trying to gain muscle, and I fear I haven't been eating enough. Today I combined 2 meals for breakfast and found that, yep, I definitely haven't been eating enough. I've been vegan for a long while, and right now am transitioning out of it into a regular…

No Appetite?
I just have a generic question. I have days when I'm starving ALL DAY LONG, and I generally know how to handle those days. But I also have days when I go for VERY LONG periods of time where I'm not hungry at all. I usually eat breakfast because that's the right thing to do, but I get lost after that. I generally try to eat…

Quick On The Go Snacks/Meals?
Hey there! I have a really busy schedule most week days. I work in-home for autistic children so often times my "breaks" are spent in the car driving from one house to the other. Otherwise I have ten minutes to half an hour in my house for lunches and I'm running low on ideas for quick snacks/meals. Sandwiches and home…

Possibly Lacking in Nutrients? Please Read.
Hey everyone; I recently went vegan (a few weeks ago). I'm pretty sure that I'm lactose intolerant; if I eat any dairy product now that I've been vegan my stomach acts up immediately. (Like literally, almost immediately.) This is not related to that. Just back story. The last week or so I've been having some problems. My…

Peanuts/Almonds.. What's Your Opinion?
I love peanuts :D I eat one unsalted serving every other day (1/2 of peanuts + 1/2 of almonds), which totals in 3 servings a weak. (I don't eat peanuts on my cheat day) This makes me very sad on my no-peanuts days. I read somewhere that you should have about 3 servings a week. What do you all think? Also, where does Peanut…

Carb Counting?
Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my carbs. I recently went vegan, and as you know, fruits and vegetables are packed with carbs. I only eat whole wheat breads, and I still limit my bread intake, but all of it is packed with carbs. Is there a "good carb bad carb" rule to all of this, like sugars and fats? I know that…

Pinto Bean Seasonings!
I need some help; currently, I am boiling my pinto beans. I have limited ingredients. No onions or garlic :( Just a spice rack with your usual dried spices and seasonings on it. Any ideas on what to throw in there when the beans are done?

High Calorie Whole/Pure Foods?
Hey there all; I just started going to the gym yesterday, and I have a tough time hitting my calorie minimum as it is, but going to the gym at night (the only time I can go), I burn about 300-500 calories a session, so last night I was WAY in the hole, but I didn't get out of the gym until 830, so it gets kind of late to…

Olive Oil Calories?
I just made a delicious omelette! My problem... I used one tsp of extra vergin olive oil to grease the pan. 1 tbsp is 120 calories, but I'm wondering if I count the whole teaspoon in my calories or how that works? I don't usually do much cooking, so I'm new to this. :(

Cheat Days
What is everyone's general philosophy on cheat days? I've read that they're very important when dieting in order to boost the metabolism, satisfy cravings, and be generally more successful. My only issue is that my main weigh in is on Mondays, and my cheat day is on Sundays! :( Maybe I should just change my weigh in to…
