Healthy Fats
I've been seeing a lot of information that the fats contained in olive oil, avocados and nuts are healthy fats as opposed to hydrogenated oils and the fats contained in meat and palm oil. Would it not make sense to only track the "unhealthy" fats and subtract the healthy fats? I would hate to not be getting enough healthy…

My two drinking tips
Obviously this wont work for everyone, but I have been MFPing around for about 2 years and two things that work for me are: 1. Drink your beer/vodka/tequila out of a wine glass. It sounds weird, but I sip wine far slower then I drink beer out of a bottle, vodka out of a glass, or scotch out of a tumbler. I have noticed…

I live in a small tourist/ ski town so the eating out…

Eating Healthy at 1270 Calorie goal
How is it possible to have a daily goal of 1270 and not go over in sugars or fats or sodium? Just eating grapes this morning for my breakfast has put me over in my sugars. Are calories the only thing I should really worry about just as long as I am eating healthy foods? I can't get above 900 daily calories without going…

Does Yogurt cancel out Whey protein
When I worked at Booster Juice we weren't allowed to put yogurt in with whey protein or soy because my boss told me they cancelled out each others nutritional benefits and protein. It never really made sense to me and my mom brought it up awhile ago. I kind of looked into it on google and didn't come up with much? WHat do…

Trying to wrap my head around...
Hello. I am new to MFP, and today was day 1 with logging my food. I have always kept a food journal-just not online. I am participating in a weight-loss challenge and one of the requirements is an online journal, this site came highly recommended. I figured out (with the help of the calorie calculator) if I want to loose…

tracking fat vs sat fat
Is there anyone on here who tracks only saturated fat instead of plain 'fat' in their diary? I'm thinking fat does not = fat. Is it worth throwing a different thing out and tracking both 'fat' and 'sat fat'? Or is it not worth it (seeing how unreliable the DB can be with entries)

Finally found what I was looking for ...
This is going to come as no surprise to a lot of you, however to those that are unaware I hope this helps. I eat bread like most of us but since all this calorie counting I only recently realised how many calories were in the standard sliced bread, but having seen a comment on here I went in search of Hovis Nimble. It took…

Myth?! More than (blank) grams of protein in...
I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend... hahaha.. Anyways I heard that if you eat more than, let's say.. 28 grams of protein per sitting that anything more than that is wasted. I just said the guy was full of ****, but now I ask.. just to clarify. :) Thanks!

how close fo you get to your calorie goal?
I always figure that my calorie goal is a goal to shoot for, not a hard and fast ceiling never to be overshot. I figure I'm doing well if I'm within 200 cals, either over or under. But I see some people beating up on themselves for going 25 cals over their goal. How do you view your calorie goal?

I wonder.....
Is it possible to develop a food allergy after 42 years of being able to eat it? Here recently every time I eat fish it makes my tummy hurt and have to go to the bathroom more often than I like. LOL, I suppose it is good for weight loss, but not good that it makes me hurt so bad.

Sugar sabotaging weight loss?
I need some help with this...I had posted that my weight was not budging regardless of staying within my cals and macros, and someone recommended that I start tracking sugar. Sure enough, it seemed I was indeed eating a lot of "hidden" sugars in fruit and the like. So I'm now tracking my sugars and hoping this helps.…

Paldo Sugar Free Aloe Drink confusion
Hi everyone! My boyfriend, as a treat for me, bought me a bottle of Paldo Sugar Free Aloe Drink which is super tasty. It's a sweet-tasting drink from Korea that has little chunks of aloe vera in it. However, when I went to log it, I looked at the nutritional information, and for a 180ml serving, it says there are 5…

Healthy Holiday Accountability Group? Any interest?
I'd love to put together a healthy holiday accountability group to help others stay ON TRACK through the holidays. The average American eats 4000 calories on Thanksgiving?? The average American gains 10lbs over the holiday season?! I don't want that to be me, so I'd love some fellow MFPers to focus on better eating,…

Sore Knees from Running
I've just started learning how to run doing the C25K interval workouts at home on my treadmill. The first week of workouts were really quite easy, so I did 1 extra day of intervals and one day I wanted to see how long I could jog/run for a consecutive amount of time. Saturday I did the first workout for the 2nd week of the…

How has being wheat free helped you?
I am currently reading Wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis. I am now on day three of being wheat free myself. I was inspired to make this life style change when I recently went back to the province I grew up and visited with a friends mom who was diagnosed with celiac disease earlier this year. The only lifestyle change she…
