No idea if everyone else already figured it out and I just missed it? But like, if you take average human they need around 2000 calories a day, possibly more, right? So why on that portion of frozen potatoes I...
If it says: per 1/2 cup, is that referring to half a cup of dried noodles or 1/2 of cooked noodles?
So freaking happy 😁. I'm out of the size 20's today. Whoot whoot!!!! Thank you IF ☺️💓✨💫🌻🙏😁
Are there are any resources for realistic portion sizing? It stands to reason that two people who are very different sizes will have different nutritional needs. Calculating macros isn't something that seems sustainable. If both people are trying to shift...
A friend of mine who works at McDonald's told me they changed the recipe of certain foods after the film was released. Is it true? Edit: I meant the composition of their foods, not the removal of Super Size

I'll get some background out of the way first. Water fasted before, 48h max, currently overweight, so plenty of fuel available. Reason for fasting is to reduce calorie consumed during the week and eventually naturally reduce portions I'm eating. I...
For example, according to [Healthline](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/magnesium-dosage#types), 19-30 yo men need 400 mg, and women need 310 mg. So, eg, a 5’ 10 athletic muscular woman has the same requirements as 5’ 0 petite woman, but needs less than, say, a 5’ 5...

Seems magical. Using cooking oil to fry an omelet for example is loaded with calories. But cooking spray works just as well and has zero calories. What’s the secret here?

Is there a specific calorie level at which a snack should no longer be considered a snack and might as well just count as another meal?
I suppose this should be phrased as "why is 1200 calories considered a minimum, regardless of activity, gender, height and weight". I understand that this would be a substantially low number for a tall active male, however when you start dropping...

When you began your journey with fasting did you eat your regular diet, just only during the time alloted or did you eat healthier? What about exercise? Did you try and bump up what you had been doing?
