making up for sickness?
So I had foot poisoning in the middle of the night I had food poisoning and threw up a bunch of food. Do I need to try to eat extra today to make up for it? I'm trying to gain/maintain.

lower abs?
I've been working seriously on my abs for a couple months now and I'm really happy with the results for the most part. I have pretty significant definition on what would be the upper four of a six-pack, and my obliques are defined all the way down, but then there's just no definition whatsoever lower down. Don't tell me to…

fitbit calorie goal
So I've recently seen the intake goals calculated by my FitBit...and it says I should be eating around 2800 calories a day. Right now I'm eating about 1000 less than that because that's just how much I end up with at the end of the day hunger-wise--I'm not trying to lose or gain weight right now. I seem to be maintaining…

FitBit
I've read all about people using a FB with MFP but I can't see anywhere how to synch them together....help me? I've searched through both websites.

Eating enough? Not sure
So I'm trying to maintain my weight after a long time trying to gain (I've finally reached my goal, yay!) But now I'm not sure if I'm eating enough. I thought it was fine to eat 2000ish calories a day, but I recently noticed that my net is about 1300 most days--which is SUPER LOW I think... I seem to be maintaining still,…

Super interesting digital aid
http://bwsimulator.niddk.nih.gov/ Made by an applied mathematician and endorsed by the NIH. Kinda confusing to use but seems more accurate than other similar things I've found online...and definitely more reputable.

Weight gain with restrictions
Help me design a meal plan to get in enough calories without eating eggs, dairy, gluten, or soy, and with only fish as far as animal products go! I'm having a lot of trouble eating more than about 1800/1900 calories...

Off-season spaghetti squash?
I've come to love spaghetti squash and eat a lot of it, but now that it's getting toward spring time have been unable to find it in the grocery store. Does anyone know where to get it when it's not in season? Order online? Specific grocery stores? Help!

Help me please!
I'm recovering from anorexia. It's hard. But I'm going and that's not what I'm asking about. What I'm wondering is, who should I tell? My parents know, none of my friends do. In fact, last week one of my guy friends was ranting about "starving girls" and told me how glad he was that I wasn't like that. After I told my…

The mental stuff
I've managed to eat my BMR for three days now (before you lecture, I know it's not enough but this is a HUGE step for me), and I'm actually weirdly okay with that. Before going over even 1000 caused me to absolutely panic and workout. Now I'm even considering reducing my daily "typical workout" considerably. I've even…

Unintentional weightloss?
I use MFP for weight gain purposes, and it was working for awhile. But my doctor recently started me on an elimination diet for allergies (gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, tomato-free and peanut-free), and I'm also a vegetarian (but that isn't new). Since I started this new diet, my weight has been falling…

eating enough with medical restrictions
For the next six weeks I'm on a gluten-free dairy-free peanut-free soy-free tomato-free limited-pork diet. I was a vegetarian but I'm thinking i may have to do the unthinkable and start eating animals again because I'm also supposed to gain 10 lbs over those same six weeks! I don't know how my doctor expects me to do this.…

Enough calories but not too much sugar?
I'm trying to gain weight, and pretty much no matter what I do I go waaaaay over on sugar, sometimes even without reaching my calorie goal. How do I fix this?

MFP suggestions don't work?
I've been eating less than my calories goals (but not drastic) and haven't been very good about logging my exercise, so I think I'm getting more than my exercise goals. But I'm still gaining weight! Why?

Not meeting MyFitnessPal's recommendations
I spend all my time working toward the calories goals and that's good, but I'm coming in WAY UNDER on carbs and WAY OVER on fiber...is this bad? Fat and sugar intakes some days are too much, some days just about right, some days under--basically all over the place, and (I think) cancel out. But for carbs and fiber the…
