Oat Fiber
Hi I did come across some discussion just recently on MFP regarding using Oat Fiber in pancakes, etc., (helps to thicken batters apparently - no calories/carbs only fiber) Can't find the posting about it, however, remember one member saying how they liked/used Anthony's Oat Fiber. However, another thread's member said to…

Fast and healthy lunches/dinners
My life is basically a Six Flags roller coaster on crack, it goes 100mph and then stops abruptly and the day is already over. Within that 100mph time, I have 30 minutes of lunch, if I even get one, and maybe 4 hours at home after work to do chores and eat dinner and socialize and well...you get the idea. My time is…

Can oatmeal plus protein powder be good?
I love oatmeal with milk, but I don't often have it recently because the protein to calories ratio isn't to my liking. So I figured I'd add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. And it was utterly horrendous. It seems I did screw up by adding the powder at the start instead of the end when it was boiling. I added some extra…

Introduction and living on 1200 cpd
Hello, I am a female, aged 40, and 5 feet 4” tall. I currently weigh 180.6 and none of my clothes fit, so I’ve decided to try to slim down. MFP has calculated that to lose weight (2 lbs per week), I need to reduce caloric intake to 1200. Does anyone else struggle to do this?! I find I am very hungry fro 3/4pm onwards. 1200…

Good spaghetti entry on MFP??
I'm looking for a good comparison entry on MFP homemade spaghetti which is a pretty common staple in our house so I'd like to be somewhat accurate though certainly doesn't have to be exact! I'm talking 90/10 beef, spaghetti noodles & regular spaghetti sauce. As with so many things the options are all over the map on MFP in…

What all in one protein powder do you use? Alternative to Vegessential!?
Hi there! I currently use and love Vegessential, for my meal replacement ( aka, I am terrible and only eat once a day) and protein.

This Infuriates Me
This is a protein bar brand I really like. Went to check out their cookies, which are headlined on Amazon as having 16gr protein. Yay! Well, folks, this is why we drill down into the details when logging food. I can’t tell you how mad and frustrated this kind of nutrition labeling makes me. Come ON,folks!!!!

Cooked Pork Chops
Which part of the pork loin are pork chops cut from? The blade end, center rib, center loin, or sirloin end? I'm just a bit overwhelmed because I cooked boneless pork chops for dinner and when I searched for "cooked pork chop" in the USDA database, it comes up with like 100 different entries. Like there's one for "top…

Can vegetarianism and low carb marry and live happily ever after?
Ok so to cut a whole long story short I decided this year to become vegetarian. Personal choice - I love animals and despite a desperate love of all meat I can't justify it to myself anymore. I am also terribly insulin resistant and heard that low carb can help with that. I need to lose weight desperately for my health, I…

Coffee makers
It's time for me to trade in my cheap $20 special Black and Decker coffee maker. I kind of left it on with an empty pot in it and burned the heck out of it. :( I'm not sure if I want to buy that kind again; I'm perfectly happy brewing that way but wonder if Keurig would taste better; do a better job, be easier, worth the…

Bell pepper?!
Do different coloured peppers count as multiple portions of your 5 a day? For example if you put a red pepper and a yellow pepper in your meal does that count as 2 portions of your 5 a day or is it just 1 portion of your 5 a day?

Chronic pancreatitis and calories
I have been recently diagnosed with this and have not had a follow up appointment with my specialist. My information has come from the internet so far. One issue with this seems to be that your body cannot break down food and absorb all nutrients. Would this also apply to calories? Weight loss appears to be a problem with…
