Food Selection
To all... I need some help from the folks that have been doing this a lot longer than I have.

I am supposed to take the calories per serving and divide it by the total fat calories…

Snacks you don't binge on?
Hi everyone! So I have a real problem with binge eating food once it's in my house. In the past month or so I've started eating a lot healthier, so the food that it's in my house to do this with isn't quite as bad (dried cranberries vs. chips ahoy). However, it's still not great. I want to be able to keep food for snacks…

How many carbs if Im a runner but still like to lose weight?
How many grams of carbohydrates should I eat if I am a runner but I'd still like to lose weight? I did a research and the established amount of carbs for runners are 5-7 (or even up to 10) grams per 1 kilogram of body weight. That means I should eat between 300 and 420 grams of carbs a day. It just seems to me like quite a…

IS this the magic number? No more guessing???

Take your weight and add a "0" that is how many calories a day you should be eating, IF you live a moderately active lifestyle, to lose weight... (Example: If you weigh 160- you should be eating 1600 calories a day)…

Healthy Foods that you Crave
Losing weight has meant eliminating a ton of the things I used to indulge in from my diet (ie. I ordered the grilled chicken and peppers at dinner tonight instead of the chicken tenders and fries that I really wanted), but I've discovered a lot of healthy choices that I've ended up craving since I started MFP. What "health…

I remember it being talked about as a health benefit on TV years ago (in the UK) with some historical background, and just recently have come across a few actual practitioners who in the course of fairly ordinary conversation take this for granted and say things like: "if it's…
