Eating When You Don't Grocery Shop - How?
I don't shop for food. My husband is a Butcher at a grocery store, he gets off typically at 9 so he does all the grocery shopping for the next day. So far he's been supportive of my "diet" (I don't like that word). He got me that grilled chicken you use for salads and all of the veggie fixings. But he's still in control of…

Frying in oil affecting calorie counts?
Hello everyone =) I am wondering how much frying something in oil affects the calorie count of foods, and whether or not it's advisable to actually count the calories from the oil? For example.... scrambled eggs, when I look at the nutrition facts , are the calories from the oil required to fry them assumed to be included?…

85 grams pasta?
The serving size for Smart Linguine is 1/5 box / 85 grams, but that seems to make a lot once it's cooked. I don't have a scale, so I go by the 1/5 box measurement and try to estimate, but I can't help but wonder if it's too big of a serving. There's supposedly 310 calories in 1/5 box, but when it's cooked, it feels like a…

Splenda/Canderel?
I'm in the UK and I use Canderel as a sweetener. I just had two disastrous attempts at a flourless microwave in a minute chocolate cake, the first was bitter and grainy the 2nd a little less so but that's because instead of 1 tbsp of Canderel I used 3. The recipe called for Splenda but I only have Canderel. I really want…

The Pitfalls of "Serving Size"
Doesn't it just suck when you're eating some pre-made, frozen meal and the serving size is like 1/4 of a package? and a 1/4 of the package doesn't even fill your hand? Yeah, it does suck. Just happened to me for my lunch. Now, I'm normally pretty good about actually making meals and not resorting to frozen, fast meals.…
