Help! I still have 492 calories left over!
So, I've just finished eating dinner. There is nothing left over, so I can't go back and eat the rest of my calories there. I'm not really hungry either. Should I just leave it, or should I eat like a CLIF builder's protein bar which will get me closer to my macros? I don't want to mess up my metabolism, but I'm just…

Food diary feedback
Today I ate, what I felt like, pretty much constantly. I think I made good choices and I am not hungry. I am just wondering if anyone thinks the calculations are off, more so on meals, not what I listed under snacks. I am wondering if maybe I ate more calories than what it actually calculated? I'm not sure if you can get…

Raw Foods
Hi Everyone I have been doing some thinking lately and am wondering on those of you out there who suffer from IBS - what sort of diet do you follow? I am Gluten free also.

european shopping and diet.
one of our kids has noted that my wife and I shop like we are Europeans. He observed that we do not keep a well stocked refrigerator and pantry, but instead make almost daily visits to the market.

Proper Fat Amounts
