I need help eating
Like I said in the title. I'm absolutely terrible at eating. I'm used to greasy southern food and fast food, and when it comes to eating healthy I turn into a child and become picky. When I look up healthy recipes my eyes glaze over and my brain shuts down. I actually was doing good at the beginning of the year and had…

Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy
I am currently listening to Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating.

I would like to know if anybody else has read this…

Mentally Healthy Foods
So as the debate warred on about natural food vs evil food I couldn't help but think about food that makes me happy or nostalgic and why are we so quick to dismiss it and its benefit in the name of almighty nutritional health? I don't have any scientific evidence to back my claim. I have to think if I am smiling about…

HELP! Weighing Pre-Packaged/Boxed Foods
Hi Everyone! I'm curious as to how people weigh boxed food such as Instant Scalloped Potatoes by Betty Crocker, or say Instant Mashed potatoes. Usually, I create a recipe and include the milk I used, the butter, and then I add 2 boxes of unprepared Scalloped potatoes. When it's finished cooking, I weigh the final product…

Newcomer-Disappointment
I have joined MFP today to try the app before commiting to Premium membership. This maybe an old repetitive finding but I cannot sync MFP with Google fit. They are both visible (as connected) in the apps and indeed my xiaomi fitness band works with Fit (irony right there). No shared data can be found in either MFP or Fit…

Histamine intolerances

Carbs are carbs...or are they?
So I was discussing macros, with regards to weight loss, with a friend the other day and my friend was adamant that it didn't matter what your carb source was, you'd still lose weight equally as long as you were hitting the goal/recommended macros for carbs deficit.

Fridge temp too low. Spoiled turkey?
Hi all, I'm celebrating Thanksgiving late this year, on Saturday. I started defrosting a 10 lb turkey on Wednesday from frozen in my fridge. Today (Friday) I took the raw turkey out to see if it was still frozen—it was completely thawed and I took the internal temperature, which said 46 F in some parts, 47/48F in others.…

Enough iron?

I feel like when I've had a healthier day of eating add in an hour or more of jogging and such. After dinner I find myself somewhere between 600-900 behind my calorie goal. And that's to lose 0.5lbs daily goal.…

Cheat Meal - how often / how much?
Hey everyone! Just wanted to see if you guys have a cheat meal? I know there is a lot of discussion about whether a cheat meal is a good bad thing, and whether or not to call it a cheat meal as that has negative connotations. That aside, for those of you that have a cheat meal: Do you go all out and have whatever you want?…
