BMR Frustration
Ok so I eat around 1200-1400 calories a day, lost a lot of weight. I eat 5 times a day, 3 meals and 2 snacks.

Snacking vs Meals
I need people's opinions on this. I find that my metabolism has gone up since I have started to eat somewhat healthy and exercise. The problem, I'm starving before it is time for breakfast, so starving that I feel like I am going to pass out. Do I eat a snack? Or do I just "suck it up" and wait until breakfast? (I work…

What is your favorite tasty hot tea?
But plain black tea does nothing for me & green tea always tastes like I need to add something to it to make it taste better. Any suggestions on just a nice tasting tea that doesn't need any additives? I know green tea is a great antioxidant so even a rec for a better tasting green tea would be great. TIA!

Salt Advice - Food Labeling
I have just eaten a salad which said it had 28.3% of my RDA (1.72g) of salt as part of its nutrition banner But the same label in the more detailed info there is a RDA guideline chart, which says the generic RDA is just 2.4g So surely that means I've just eaten 71.6% of my RDA of salt? Something isn't adding up, anyone any…
