Chinese Food...HELP
So, im a poor college student, and I love Chinese food, so my friends and I are ordering delivery tonight because we have to actually study and dont have time to cook. Now I never eat my whole meal, and I always get brown or white rice, but the meat portion...everything is SO oily and SO salty! I love General Tso's, Sweet…

Where my gays at? Davey Wavey is a gay blogger, personal trainer, and a semi-motivaitonal speaker and blogger. He has a book out on his website called Eating For Fitness, and I wonder if anyone had read it or heard positive things? It seems good. His posts are pretty fun to read/watch and they often hit home for me. Here…

Ok to Eat Junk?
So, after eating most of my meals today I still have only a net of about 600, so I am def short of my 1500 limit. So my question is, is it ok to eat crap? Not necessarily crap, but things that arent considered super healthy. For example, my roommate made mac and cheese. Would it be ok to have some, so long as im under my…

Frequency of Weighing
I know youre really not supposed to, but im one of those people that weighs themselves every day or every other day. I dont record that as my weight, I just like to make sure im on track and not gaining anything. How often should I record the weight though? For example, I recorded my weight five days ago, and I lost a…

That moment...
When you look in the mirror and dont recognize yourself. When the new jeans you bought a few months ago to replace the baggy ones are now baggy...What is your moment when you realized this was clicking? Because these are mine =)

p90X for the gymless.
I went pretty often to the gym this summer (May-August), started eating better, drinking more water, and lost about 15-20lbs (although MFP only says 1, ignore it). Now that im back at school, im finding the gym hard to get to. Its crowded, open weird hours, etc. I walk about 4 miles a day since I live 1 mile from campus,…

Tracking Walking
So, I decided to walk to my college from my apartment rather than drive, and with usually 2 classes a day, it adds up to about 4 miles a day (a mile there, a mile back). Im trying to figure how many calories this is burning. Its relatively flat, and It takes me about 18 minutes to walk it at a leisurely pace, although its…

So Many Things!
Eat too much. Not eating enough. Work out too little, work out too hard! Sleeping enough, but also not running out of time in the day so you dont get stressed trying to do everything. Counting every calorie, fat, carb, and protein. Drinking protein shakes that are gritty no matter how much you mix it. Sodium on EVERYTHING.…

Plateau Help
I started out at 212lbs, then started MFP at around 208 and now im down to 198/199. I think I have hit a plateau because I havent really lost any weight in about two weeks. My eating is...alright (I love salty foods like chips) and while I have maybe one day a week where I might not log everything or go a little over my…

Shouldnt I be...Sore?
The past few times I worked out hard (as in strength training in addition to cardio) I was immediately sore and sore for a few days after. Tonight...nothing. I left the gym feeling as if I had done nothing, when tonight I did more than I ever did! Is it going to hit me hard tomorrow, or is it just me getting used to it?…

Need a kick in the *kitten*!
I was doing well with my dieting and exercising every day, and even though I wasnt losing much weight I still was feeling good. Then I visited friends this weekend and ate terribly and have eaten pretty poorly lately and havent gone to the gym in almost a week! I need to get back on track and need a good *kitten* kicking!

Seasoning Brown Rice
I was wondering if you guys had any easy, tasty, and simple additions to brown rice. The package says butter (no thanks)and 1tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp is like 400mg! I was thinking maybe red pepper flakes? Idk..help! PS i didnt start cooking so it can be added during cooking or after.

Difficulty of Dining Out
I went out to Fridays with the family and the SODIUM was ridiculous! I tried to pick the lowest calorie options that would still make me feel satisfied, but the Dragonfire Chicken at 580 calories has 2000mg of sodium! Whats a person to do when you go out to eat to feel satisfied but not to break the bank!?

Snacks, Calories, and Whey Protein
So I discovered last night that my net calories have been off this whole time because, well, im an idiot. So ive only been intaking like 200-400 net calories a day when I work out (which has been everyday this week except for friday) as opposed to the 1200 I should have at minimum. Im just wondering what I should be eating…

Need Some Explanation
I currently weigh 202lbs, im about 5'10, 20 year old male. I posted a topic "Goal vs Net" calories a little while ago and while the answers were helpful, im still a little confused, especially with the terminology like deficit and net, etc. Heres a little catch up, my goal is 1560 calories a day before doing anything, and…

What to Eat?
So after discovering I needed my net calories to be 1200, and learning that mine have been under 500...I need the idea for something to fill those calories! Im not usually hungry, cereal and fruit and a banana for breakfast, a sandwich with wheat thins for lunch, and dinner varies, a yogurt for dessert...its about 1300…

Goal vs. Net Help
I had a question concerning the original goal for calories vs the net. My goal is 1560 calories a day, but my net has been anywhere from 150 to 300 depending on my exercise. Someone posted that your net needs to be over 1200 to prevent starvation, but that seems like far too many calories for me. I try to eat my 1560 goal…

Today Was...Bad
Last night I ended up eating 2 cookies then stuffing out on Wendys late at night with friends because we were all super stressed. I got two hours of sleep and have eaten horribly today too, and im too tired to go to the gym! Im afraid that this one day of high sodium, high calories, and high carbs is going to set me back…

Lend Me Some Sugar?
I was wondering everyone's view on sugar. Im scared of getting into the red, and even though I avoid sugary drinks, candy, etc, I still come close or go over because Ill have a piece of fruit or some yogurt. So, does it matter if you go over on sugar if its from healthy things such as fruit? Or, does sugar hurt weight loss…

Question on Pasta
I had a quick question about pasta. When I was figuring out my calories for the day I realized that I had used the calories from 1/2 a cup of uncooked pasta. Now, I know pasta expands when you cook it, but is it as much as rice? How much cooked pasta does 1/2 a cup of uncooked pasta yield? I assumed 1/2 a cup uncooked was…

New, Motivation Needed
Hey everyone, Kevin here! 20 year old college student here, looking to drop (hopefully) 40lbs and hit about 160 before I can put on muscle. While this is great for tracking food, I need motivation and help to stay eating well and I REALLY need it for exercise. I started a blog, so if you wouldnt mind checking it out, you…
