Frozen chicken breast macros once cooked
Ok, I have been researching this and have one question. The consensus is that you weigh your food before cooked, or if you weigh it cooked, then put cooked in MyFitnessPal. So I found 2 potential entries for logging my frozen chicken breast after cooking them. I am using the third version cooked with green checkmark.…

Meal prep containers and lids fly around in my dishwasher
My house has pretty awesome water pressure, which is great for showers but terrible for my poor plastic meal prep containers. They get thrown around like extras on the set of Saving Private Ryan. Instead of replacing them all with glass, we bought a weighted net called a Dishwasher Buddy to hold them all down and safe.…

Stressing about protein

Cooked vs uncooked
Ok, I've looked into how to weigh food cooked vs uncooked and apparently the best route is uncooked. Can anyone please explain why this is the case. I am very confused. I seen on a website that the calories and all that will be different with cooked vs uncooked. Here's the thing, i'm not going to eat something raw though.…

Eating healthy, exercising and still fat!
So I'm really on the struggle bus lately. I feel like my diet has been a lot better, and I'm exercising 5 days a week including cardio 3 days a week and strength training twice a week.

What's the deal with pasta?
Ok. So, I know regular pasta is supposed to be a no go....but, I plugged in two of my pasta recipes and the serving size still fit into my counts, including trying to be around 1200 calories. So, is it ok to eat pasta if everything else aligns for the day? Thanks, Lynne

Low cal vs low carb ??
So I know you need a calorie deficit to lose weight regardless of how/what you are eating. In the past I’ve lost weight eating whatever I want just less of it.. I get that. This time around it’s not the case. I’m 43 now and things are not as easy as they used to be. Have any of you found that adjusting your diet to low…

Serving size of spaghetti
Apparently I have been underselling myself when counting calories for my pasta portions. I have a big family, which can sometimes make it difficult to measure portion sizes when cooking. When I make spaghetti, I have weighed the noodles after cooking. I have generally weighed 3 oz of noodles and added a 1/2 cup of sauce. I…
