Ok, I give up.
On eating too little in the hopes of losing faster, and thinking serious restriction was the only way. I'm a sad example of the typical pattern: Starve and binge and crash. And with a myriad of health problems, from what I'm reading, probably related to that. Overall, I maintained (with fluctuation) no matter how long I…

Diabetes question # carbs per day
If you are a Type II diabetic and have excellent glucose control (a1c less than 6), how many carbs do you limit yourself to per day? There were a lot of varying recommendations on the web, and for now I'm choosing 200 because it's somewhere in the middle. I am 5' 11" and currently eat about 1500 calories per day, Thanks…

How many of you add in vitamins?
Just out of curiosity, how many people on here add their vitamins to their journals? I'm just curious because I know that many of us take vitamins, Omega-3's, etc., but how many people add them to the journals because they do increase your calories, albeit a small amount?

Foods with vitamin D?
What are some foods that are high in Vitamin D? I'm low on it, so I'm taking pills and going outside more; but including it in my diet will help, too. Your vitamin D level should be 30-80 mg, and mine a few months ago was 15 mg. I've had to take 50,000 IU's of vitamin D via a pill once a week. I got more blood work done,…

Anyway, I ate about 11 of them! I looked them up on the site and logged it. So even though I had been with my personal trainer for over an hour that…

Don't drink your calories?
So I made a mistake today. I took advantage of a deal from Caribou for a $2 medium caramel drink. Look, it looks delicious! Yeah. That deliciousness was 850 calories, sickeningly sweet and altogether not worth it. In fact, I posted it on my diary and admitted to my faults and even some of my friends list can't believe it!…

Tastes
Interesting NSV (if you want to call it that). I hadn't had McDonalds in 2wks...something I used to have literally two times a day. I decided to have a "cheat meal" last night and got my usual combo, a crispy chicken CBO and fries. I expected to enjoy the crap out of it, but it tasted kind of...gross. It just wasn't the…

calorie counts
Is there a way to verify the caloric info found for foods on this site? Sometimes I don't have the nutritional info and there could be varying information for the same item found in the database......I would hate to think I had used more calories than I want to.

When did you bump up from 1200 calories?
Alright guys--started here as 171 lbs first week of June. I am now 158. However, I only lost 1 lb all of August, and my measurements changed so minimally, my only valid loss was .5 off my neck (a weird place to lose, I feel...). I've been doing heavy lifting for three weeks, and I know it's near impossible to gain muscle…

How to log simmered wine in recipes?
Hi, Who knows how I should log wine that has been simmered in a recipe (ie stews, coq au vin). I imagine most of the alcohol gets cooked off but it will still contain sugar. Would you just halve the normal calories as a ballpark guess? Thanks.

I don't like bread
I don't like bread, pasta, or anything "starchy" really. Do I need them? I know a lot of people talk about "whole grains," etc, I don't like any of these things. Is it something I NEED to help in my lifestyle change? Am I still eating well without them? I have little to no grains in my diet. I believe I'm getting enough…
