Weighing pasta
I'm totally confused re the weighing of pasta. I scanned the packet and it said 134 calories for 100g. I've been weighing out 100g dry and cooking it separately but this seems like a lot for so few calories. Should it be 100g once cooked for those calories?? Please help

Green chef calories
My husband likes to order green chef meals (a few meals a month). The calorie counts are high for me. For instance, we have a pork and sweet potato meal this week and the recipe card says it's 980 calories a serving. I end up portioning half a serving for most of these meals. But I was wondering why on earth a "healthy"…

Has the pandemic altered your appetite for eating/ordering out?
I'm curious about if the pandemic has altered people's attitudes to eating/ordering out. Since the pandemic started, I haven't had a single bite to eat that wasn't prepared at home; it's been a weird 14 months! Prior to the pandemic, my customary routine was to eat out once or twice a week, most often for lunch, but…

Show mg not % calcium, iron, vit A C
Since not all of us have 2000 calorie diets it seems it would be much better to display calcium iron vitamin A and c with nutritional information as milligrams rather than a percentage. Is there a way to make the suggestion to the programmers?

Volumetrics - How heavy are your meals?
So I just cooked up a relatively average lunch for me (basic chicken breast with loads of vegetables made into a sauce; no oil, not many carbs; ~500kcal), and when I "loaded" it up onto a plate I thought "Oh wow, this feels kinda heavy". So I weighed my plate and (minus the plate) it came out to 1,2kgs or 2,6lbs of actual…

Eating Keto style here, and stalled for a couple of weeks..
..and went through the whole withdrawal from carbs, and believe I either did get into Ketosis, or body is still changing. I'm guessing the latter in that first statement. I didn't have a lot of fat to lose, but at 136, 5'2", and 68 years old, I was out of proportion with fat hanging over in those "certain" places. I'm…
