Is it obsessing?
Hello all my MFP friends! I am thinking about trying something new and putting my eating on a schedule. Does anyone do this? I feel like it may be obsessing on food but I also think that it might prevent me from over eating and grazing. Breakfast at 8, morning snack at 10, lunch at 1230 (cant help that one cause of work),…

Supplement Suggestions???
Hello everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful time during whatever holidays you celebrate. I need some advice regarding nutritional supplements. Towards the end of 2012 (I would say the last two months or so), I started having some pretty severe pain in my joints. It was localized to any specific joint, but was kind of…

Newly lactose intolerant
So over the holidays I had a tummy bug which apparently knocked out my ability to digest lactose! I had a few days of horrible gas and diarrhea before I realized what the problem was. I've started using lactaid but am wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal with this new wrinkle in my diet. Thanks!

Looking to gain muscle, and lose fat. Questions about both!
Hey all, I am looking to gain some muscle (somewhere between 10-25 lbs) and burn off some fat. I'm a pretty thin guy so I don't have too much fat on me, but there is some. My question is: - How should I diet to accomplish this? Should I try to eat low calorie/healthy food to get rid of that excess fat (and run for…

Upped my calories, lost appetite
Recently I upped my calories from 1400 to 1600. My BMR is just over 1400 so I realized 1600 would be better. I was doing 1200 for a while before that and I was hungry a lot on that little. The problem is that I am never hungry any more. Well, I guess that’s not really a problem per say, but is that normal to all for a…

Shopping List App
I currently use an app on my phone to keep track of items I need to buy at the grocery store. I have the app on my phone since my phone is with me 100% of the time. It works great. But, I would like an app that is shared across platforms, devices, and over the web. Almost exactly the way the MFP app works. Currently i…

Anyone go Gluten-Free?
I've had some intestinal issues since I was a teenager. They never occur in any type of pattern what-so-ever like, I can eat a salad one day and be completely fine and eat the same thing the next day and BAM intestinal cramping and severe pain. :sick: No fun at all. Well, I went to my doctor and she said it was IBS and…

Logging food
I know it is supposed to get easier with time but it seems like so much work logging all of my meals. Breakfast is easy because I usually have the same thing. But lunch and supper is usually homemade with many ingredients and changes day to day...this is why I tend to log only breakfast... Does anyone have any tips to make…

Why do people even bother..??
Why do people even bother to add a food to the MVP food data base if they aren't going to take the few minutes to CORRECTLY add ALL of the information on that particular food item..??..:grumble: ...Very frustrating and extremely lazy, if you ask me..:yawn: ..Just my opinion...Other than that, have a great journey to health…

Only caring about calories?
Hi All, I've noticed a few people on MFP who seem to only worry about the end calorie deficit, not the quality/health benefits of the food they are eating. I know we are all on here to lose weight, so I was wondering if your primary focus is the healthiness of your diet, or just the end calorie deficit? Any thoughts…

Estimating Calories in Deep-fried Foods
Short of using a calorimeter, I realize deep-fried foods contain too many variables -- oil temperature, surface area, breaded/not breaded, skin/no skin, cook time, etc. -- to accurately estimate their calorie content. Still, is there a general rule of thumb to follow, e.g., foods fried for [blank] minutes at [blank]…

Customizable food pyramid?
I know there is the classic food pyramid, which gives the amount (in servings) that a person should eat of the various food groups each day. I guess these are guidelines for a healthy person with no dietary restrictions who eats 2,000 calories a day. Does anyone know of a more nuanced version of this that takes into…

Everything tastes salty
Ok, rather odd, but the last two days, everything has tasted super salty to me. I typically eat the exact same thing everyday, but I was home (at my parents) and then house sitting for friends and eating more "unusual" stuff (aka not weird just not what I eat everyday). So, I had also been eating crap (hello entire box of…

Arbonne Protein packets and Fiber boost?
Has anyone tried this? Or i guess any protein with fiber shake? After drinking one i am definitely not hungry...which is great...but my issue is with my tummy. Seems to "block" things up? Anyone else have this issue? Is it normal? Id assume it should be doing the opposite.

Do you go to bed hungry?
I do (on a good day) but this is because I am used to eating at night. After dinner. After nearly a year of dieting I am guessing this is always going to be the case... I still get hungry after dinner...

Huge Problem With Veggies Lately!
So, I've always had a pretty tough time doing greens ever since I was a little kit (probably one of the factors for my poor health I'm sure). I literally couldn't even eat broccoli or leafy greens at all without gagging. So I started out by getting spinach/spring mix salad and trying light ranch to build up some sort of…

Calories - Frankie & Benny's UK
Anyone have a calorie list for Frankie & Benny's? Just had lovely lunch out with my 19yr old son, and had a chicken and bacon philly wrap with salad, but I can't find any nutrition info online anywhere. I could just find one from another chain and guesstimate it.
