Help logging marinated foods
Hi guys! I’ve had a really hard time understanding how to go about correctly longing some food. For instance, I make a Boston butt roast yesterday for pulled pork sandwiches. It was cooked in a can of beer and 1/2 cp orange juice. Now when I enter in the recipe to my recipes bank. I don’t want to NOT include the beer and…

Fats
In Nutrients, Fats, Saturated, Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated are listed. What is the relationship among them? Why, for example, don't Sat., Poly. and Mono ever add up to my total fat allowance? Thanks.

Gluten free vegan (yep THAT person)
Hey so I did keto for 9 months and lost 80lbs. It caused or revealed a heart issue so I had to stop and now I’ve gained almost all of it back. My cardiologist suggested that I go vegan. I’m celiac so that’s where the gluten free fits in. Now to my question! Where should I be getting most of my low carb protein? I do a…

1 pot meals

And a combination of pork sausage browned/crumbled then adding shredded cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, etc. for what comes out…

Designing the right diet
So here I am, a new member. I’m basically on day one of my journey and in the process of trying to set myself up for success. So in order to do so, I need to get my daily goals under control.

Should I lower carbs on non training days?
There seems to be lots of conflicting information out there, some say lower carbs on non training days, others say that you shouldn’t because it contributes to muscle growth and protein synthesis. Obviously my post work out shake counts towards my daily goals, but on non training days, do I just cut this out and replace…

HyVee menu
My husband wanted to go to our local HyVee store and get an everything omelette. We even figured that if we got only the veggie one tha it would be healthier. I looked on the pdf of their menus. Oh my goodness!! Even the veggie omelette was fattening. I mean 22 grams of saturated fat!!!! I told my husband I did not want…

Protein for vegan smoothies?
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for protein in vegan smoothies that is NOT a protein powder? I stopped using protein powders a while ago when there were reports of vegan protein powders having high levels of heavy metals found in them, so I'd rather use real food. My thoughts so far are soy milk, tofu, or peanut…

Cucumber recipes
I need recipes for cucumbers! I really like them, and will happily munch them as a snack or in tzatziki, but I’m being overrun from the plants in my greenhouse.

Extra calories earned?
My goal is 1,400 cal, I workout and I earn extra calories. (see pic) do I consume all those extra calories? Will I still loose a lb a week? as that is how my settings are. I don't want to over eat. But I also want to make sure my body is getting what it needs. If I am hungry I will eat.

Anyone bake with Allulose?
I bought some allulose to try, my husband has been using it in his coffee and likes it just fine. I was making my son's birthday cake and realized I was low on sugar. I did half allulose and half sugar rather than run out to the store for more sugar. I figured the reduction in sugar would be fine anyway. Now I'm worried it…
