Too many carbs, not enough protein?
Well i tried to get more protein in today and ended up with even less than yesterday! I deliberately went for a chicken nicoise salad for lunch and a quorn cottage pie for tea, hoping that would sort me out... So frustrating grrr! I will be so much more prepared next week after we've moved house at the weekend!

Hungry today...
Today i'm really hungry, but then i felt hungry when i went to bed last night! Feel like i could eat a scabby dog, i've already eaten 60g of porridge and a slice of toast with butter on it! I know i've got a little stress at the moment which caused me to get up at 4.45 this morning (over an hour earlier than i needed too).…

Confused about calorific intake alert?
Hi, mfp said i'm to have 1200 calories a day. So yesterday i had just over my 1200 as i had a few cals from some walking i'd done during my lunch break.

I need a good kick and i am just the right person to do it!
I've just looked at my first properly completed food diary today and i need a right good kicking! To spend 1000 calories on snacks is ridiculous and i wonder why my protein levels are low? Well no more! My calories will have more input into meals and my snacks come in the form of nibbling protein based/rich snacks. Hanging…

What do you all snack on to satisfy a hunger pang?
I see you're all snacking :) Just wondering what exactly you are snacking on, why that particular choice and does it hit the spot for you? I've just finished weight watchers where i could feed on fruit all day long if needed. Now i'm counting calories that has to change, my fruit intake is going to go right down lol... Any…

Now my fitness is getting better i want this to be my goal. Anyway she suggested 20 minutes to start with 1 minutes jogging then 2-3 minutes walking. However patience was never…

Hello and can you help me please?
Hello my name is Julie and i'm an overeater of a lifetime. My overeating got me into such a state that 14 months ago i had weight loss surgery. However i've discovered that surgery helps but that eventually the buck has to stop with someone, and i guess that person is me. Over the last 5 months i've shifted 25lbs with…

Food, help please?
MFP says i can have 1200 calories a day! Wow i thought, but when i filled in the diary bit it was kind of scary how quickly 1200 calories can be gotten through..... What i want to know are three things: 1. What kind of things is everyone (particularly people in the UK) eating to keep within their allowance? 2. When i input…
