White Spot Nutrition Incorrect?
Today I ordered fish and chips from White Spot. According to their online nutrition guide, 1 piece of fish is 101 grams and only contains 106 calories. However, after eating 2 pieces, I already began to feel quite full, so I decided to weigh the last piece just to see how much it actually weighed. And guess what? It…

Nutrition Education
I'm in my 30s and I don't remember being taught any type of nutitional information. School lunches consisted of pizza, burgers, hot dogs fries. The only "healthy" options were canned fruits swimming in syrup or literally a handful of salad. I clearly remember the lunch lady using her bare hands. Ugh. So growing up I…

coffee to water
I wanted to share a nifty trick I found for reducing coffee and increasing water intake. I’ve been dropping an unbrewed coffee bean in my water thermos every day. The bean is delivering enough flavour to get me through five refills (10 cups) a day and when I have “real” coffee I’m not using as much cream and only half a…

Update (diabetes diet)
So for anyone who remembers, my primary care doctor had tried me on a vegan diet as a way to control diabetes. That was a disaster and sent my blood sugar up high. I went to an endocrinologist to find out specifically what was going on. It turns out that with my issue, having type 2 diabetes, I do produce insulin but I…

Opinions?!
Would it be worth it in the weight loss department not to do the keto diet for instance but to have a keto approved breakfast and lunch and then a pretty healthy dinner that isnt keto? I cannot stick to the keto diet...but just wondering if it would pay off at all to do this.

Food to beat Sugar crash
So one of my many areas to improve on is my "quick fix foods" you know the ones, mid morning energy slump because all you have for breakfast was a coffee and sugary cereal.... or the afternoon crash so reach for the pastries etc etc. I'm slowing improving my habits - for breakfast now I try to have porridge (made fresh…

Hello! As someone that has a great sweet tooth, I am looking for something fairly healthy to replace things like ice cream with.

Alcohol choices when trying to get lean
I'm in the process of shedding some fat and getting lean. In looking in my diet I realized that alcohol plays a part in not achieving this. I can polish off one bottle of white wine over the weekend.

Anyone else having issues saving recipes?
Gah, I'm trying to finish off my meal plan for the day, and I'm working on inputting a new recipe for dinner, but it keeps giving me an error whenever I try to save it (both on the mobile app and on the desktop).

My biggest struggle I need to over come in my journey is Learning not to eat just because I am board. I'm hoping that fasting is a good start in the right…

Meal Prepping
Yesterday was my first attempt and I'm pleased with the results. Made my lists, did grocery shopping and made 3 dishes. I also cooked some tilapia fillets that were unused from the weekend and can throw sides together easily. AND made dinner yesterday. I seriously won't cook again until next Sunday. (I do have an adult…

Gatorade Zero Sugar
Does anyone have thoughts on Gatorade Zero? I'm wondering if it's a decent thing for me to drink, or if it's no better than drinking a diet pop. I don't do hard workouts (my exercise ranges from a 30 minute walk to an hour and a half hike) so I don't think I really need the electrolytes, but I like having something to…

Carb Mixed Type Eating
I have recently done a questionnaire on Macros with BePure to find out the best foods for me to eat. It came up with Carb - Mixed Type. Has anyone heard of this and what ratio of macros would you suggest. From what I read in effect this means eating about the same protein and carbs and low fat. I am a woman aged 70 years…

Can someone get into ketosis if their out of shape?
Hey guys, so I been doing some research and I don’t believe someone that is fat can get into ketosis. It isn’t easy to get ketones in the body if someone is fasting or even cutting carbs. Someone that is in someone shape can have ketones in their body by cutting carbs. What do you guys think? If you cut any of the…
