Cups vs. ounces
Anyone else noticed that foods, particularly vegetables are often listed in the database by volume and not weight. This seems ridiculous to me since there is so much variance in the calories of a cup of an irregularly shaped and sized food. How can a "cup" of broccoli be quantified? A cup of spinach, really. I can easily…

Protein vs Carbs
I have realised that without thinking my weekly eating routine consists of lots of bread, pasta and other complex carbs. Protein foods have been known to the best source of food while trying to lose weight and have heard the well known saying, 'go to work on an egg'. However, I am not very clued up on protein rich food so…

Superbowl plans - how are you going to resist the food?
Hi everyone! So I am not a football person at all but I am a social person - I always go to Superbowl parties to hang out, and of course to eat. I've been so good since I've been on MFP (almost a month now) but I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hours of amazing food. So what do you guys think about a cheat day? Eating a…

Is drinking calories bad?
I see so often "I'd rather eat my calories than drink them". Well... I actually don't mind drinking my calories over eating them. Is there anything wrong with a primarily liquid diet? I don't do it specifically for weight loss.. I just prefer drinking over eating.

Good, Innovative Recipes
I was wondering if any of you have found some healthy recipes that are a little out of the box instead of your typical "baked chicken" or something like that. Part of what helps me stay healthy when I eat is exploring new foods. For example, I've heard of good black bean burgers but don't know how to make it. A friend…

P90X and Shakology?
Hello everyone. I'm starting week 6 of the P90X program and I was wondering if anyone here has ever taken Shakology (meal replacement shake-I'd take it at lunch). People are claiming that this specific one increases energy levels, is all natural and is high in several different nutrients. Is this true for you? Since I will…

Sugar
Ok, so I'm doing weightwatchers at the moment and really want to clue myself up on MFP before fully switching over to calorie counting. I have realised, a lot of my problem is the amount of sugar I eat, I seem to crave sweet things, and although this is all eaten within my Propoints limit, it cannot be healthy! Have other…

What is macros?
I'm sure everyone on here knows what they are because everyone seems to talk about them all the time. What are they? Why are they important? Are they bad for you? Etc. Tell me everything, lol.

Cheat Days?
Here my wife and I thought that today being a cheat day was going to be a wondrous thing. Eat what ever we want and in the amount that we want. What happened? Yeah, we get full so dang quick and the amount and types of food eaten just doesn't sit well with us anymore. And the crazy thing about it? We've only been at this…

Three questions. Are you curious enough to read them?
/1. How do you completely relearn how to eat? I just had my gallbadder taken out because it was completely full of gallstones.
