Who else here loves to shop at Aldi's?
It is such a great place to get a lot of staples in your fridge if you're on a budget. Don't be fooled by the "Fit and Active" label they carry, however, because those can have insanely high sodium mg's and more calories than if you'd buy the regular brand. I don't always buy their fresh veggies, though, like their…

What's up with MFP and fruit sugar?
I don't understand how MFP counts sugar. I can eat a small apple and my sugar count for the day will be just as destroyed as if I had a Starbuck's super frappa-mocha-whippa-smoothie.

Name
I don't know how to make the ~ above the "n", but I was wondering if anyone knew how to cook this vegetable? I was trying to get a jicama from the grocery store but they didn't have any, so my husband picked it up thinking it looked similar, but I'm thinking it's not, that you have to cook it. What I've read says it's like…

best oils to add to homemade almond butter
For all you good cooks out there: I made homemade almond butter with roasted almonds, maple syrup, cinnamin and vanilla, it was really dry so I added canola oil. I figured olive oil would taste too strong. Should I buy peanut oil to use in the future? thanks

How much is a standard glass of water?
May sound like a silly question, but I drink a bottle of water at work - 1litre. Does this count as two glasses? Or some people say it counts as four? Also - when you log things like lemon tea etc = do you guys count that as water in the tracker as well as in your diary? Cheers guys :smile:

Carbs in veg/fruit
I like the idea of trying to have more protein and less carbs, but the problem is, I track my food and even if I just eat loads of vegetables, it comes up as being pretty carb heavy, which seems odd. Like how a couple of carrots (which I eat all the time as a snack) are 10g of carbs. It just seems unusually high. I'm not…

Juicing fruits and veggies question
I like the idea of juicing raw vegs plus some fruit to get in plenty of healthy veggies in my diet. I just have a question for those that juice. After your juice the vegs and/or fruit there is the leftover pulp in the machine. Isn't this part of the goodness you are not drinking, like the fiber? Am I wrong in thinking this…

Protein powders vs Naturally occurring Proteins.
Ok, so yesterday I caved to all of the talk of protein powders and bought some. Today I ate some for one of my meals and to be honest....it brought back all of the memories of why I didn't like it when I've used it before. It almost made me feel...depressed or something. It was weird. Mostly I just felt unfulfilled by the…
