Frozen Dinners
I decided to change my lunch up a bit and get a few Marie Calendar Chicken Alfredo boxes. I've had them before but not since I've been eating better. What are your opinions on these and if unhealthy, what are some better alternatives? Thanks!

Help with calories on myfitnesspal
My calories burned per day is around 2750, and my net calories daily is 2260. That's a deficit of 490 right there. Maybe I've been doing this wrong but I've been making sure I stay at least 490 calories under 2260 which would bring me to 1770 daily. Am I supposed to be eating 2260 daily with 2750 being my "threshold" at…

Multi-vitimans and Protein shakes
How helpful are they when it comes to losing weight? I understand the mechanics of losing weight (calories in vs. calories out) but I see lots of people talking about vitamins and the shakes and wonder what it's all about...

I heard that...
if a big guy (like myself) wanted to lose weight AND gain muscle, that it would be close to impossible to do both. I was told to lose the weight first then try to bulk up. My issue is that I don't want to lose the muscle that I already have by just focusing on weight loss. My question is: Is there a way to at least…

Juicing?
I was wondering how I would track my calories for juices that I make in my juicer. Of course there's the "generic vegatable/fruit juice" option, but I'm not sure if it's giving me the calories I actually took in. I usually juice random things together like celery, tomatos, zuccini, strawberries, grapes, apples. Anything I…

Would it be detrimental to weight loss if...
In a case I went over say my 'protein' limit, or 'cholesterol'. We always here about how going over your calorie limit for the day will make you gain weight, but what about protein and sugars. Since journaling here I've went over one of these off-shoots a few times, and I wonder even if I am well below my calorie intake…

"cheat" days
A cheat day in this case would be a day you eat something that isn't too healthy, but it's ok since it's a "cheat" day. I've heard many things like going cold turkey is difficult, having cheat days can ease you into a steady diet. I've also talked to ppl who treat the term like it's taboo. To that effect some ppl say if…

Strength training and calories on this site?
I did a few sets of various free weights today, and added them to my exercise diary. I was wondering if anyone can answer why it doesn't track calories burned doing strength training exercises? For example, I did 3 sets, 10 reps, of bench press today. It shows how much I did but doesn't show how much calories were burned…
