question on mickey D's menu
So I am all proud of myself. Went to Mickey D's for breakfast, got an oatmeal (which was banging, by the way) and a large hot chocolate for a treat.

Not enough salt?
So I was looking at my diary last night, and I saw that both my sodium & potassium levels are way below my goal amounts (20% of what they should be for the week).

Crabs?
How should I be weighing my crabs? I'm charged by the lb right out of the tank but I'm not eating the shell so I can't go by that weight. Do I weigh the whole crab, just the meat after it's been cooked, which means shelling the damned thing and postponing my enjoyment or do I just eat the meat and then weigh the leftover…

Calories in, calories out help
I didn't want to bog down the forums with silly questions, like mine, but I was told/ordered to ask this separately, after I asked this in another forum.
