I first drain out the juice in the can of fruit or separate the gravy from the solids before eating. Does this impact the calorie count for that particular meal? I would have to imagine is…

Afternoon slump
I have been lucky enough to get a promotion through a staff development program, but to keep it I have to pass a series of exams. The first 10 are from mid Feb to mid March.

Goin vegetarian..Ideas?
Recently my fiance and I have decided to go vegetarian for health reasons, but since we're so new to this (and both grew up on farms loving to eat meat) we're not very sure where to turn to for recipes and such.

Always feeling BLOATED!
For the past couple of weeks almost everyday or every other day, I just feel bloated. Which in return gives me the probably false notion that I am getting fatter. Is it a particular food that is making me bloat or has it to do with exercise or even something else? Thoughts please! :)
