Gluten free pizza suggestions?
I'm not one for "modifying" the things I love, I'd rather just stop eating it. But I'm not sure how much longer I can live w/out pizza. Can anyone suggest a recipe or place in the north NJ area that has awesome gluten free crust? ...and by pizza I mean crust, marinara, parmesan and mozz, not some weird thing w/ goat…

Hey all, I'm 38 6'2 225.6lbs 15.6% BF I'm trying to continue to lean up and maintain and potentially put on a little more size.

Confusing Sodium Measurement Units on MFP?
I recently started tracking my sodium, thinking it couldn't hurt to improve that aspect of my diet and I've discovered that a great many of the foods listed on MFP have the sodium incorrectly entered. Imo, this is because MFP chooses to list it by MGs, whereas food (in the UK at least) contains the sodium in Gs. This seems…

Peanut Butter
What's so good about it? I see a lot of people eat it on here and recommend it. I tracked some on my planner today but can't see that it's packed with anything special i.e. protein, calcium, vitamins etc but nor is it particularly high in anything bad. Is that the good thing about it?

What are your favourite "Health-ified" foods?

Intermittent fasting...lost, need some guidance.
I'm trying to do research but it's a pretty big topic and my head is starting to spin. I only want to do this about 3 days/week, and I just don't know if I should do 20:4 18:6 16:8???
