HI all. I have been on MFP since May and I have some wonderful, supportive friends. Many of them/you are kindred spirits in one way or another (age, gender, occupation, commitment to exercise, etc.) But I would like to have more friends who eat primarily fruits, veggies, and grains.

If I sleep less, can I eat more?
Sometimes I only get 5 to 6 hours of sleep because of the things I have to get done. On these days I eat healthy but I end up eating more than my usual calorie intake of 1200 to 1500. Is it okay to eat more if I stay up late as I am burning more calories? What do you think?

Frozen section + Microwave = BFF lol
So I work two jobs--which means 3 days a week, I am eating dinner at the office, so my only options are a fridge/freezer, a microwave and a toaster oven.

Black Beans - ridiculous question
So, if you read the back of a can of black beans, it will say that there are three servings, let's say 105 calories each (1/2 half cup). If you weigh the whole can with the liquid it weighs what the can says. But there are usually never 3 1/2 cup servings of beans in there unless you were to include the liquid. But does…

What is MFP for you?
How intense are you guys with your calorie tracking? I've come across multiple threads here where it seems like people are taking their tracking way too far. It seems more like a fad diet, than a lifestyle. When I say too far, I'm talking about entering a piece of gum, or an almond into your tracker. Or denying themselves…
