Just started tracking sugar
I've been tracking fibre for a long time, but since I'm doing well in that department I decided to start tracking sugar. I eat about 2000 calories a day, and MFP has me at 41g of sugar. Well I just finished lunch and I'm already at 39g. I seem to be well over 41 on most days. I don't have any symptoms of diabetes at this…

Post Work Out Meal Macros
Tomorrow I start a "ccc bootcamp" at the local gym. I believe it's cardio, conditioning and core. This will be the first time that I've done any type of organized work out. It's first thing in the morning, so I won't be eating until afterwards. For those of you that do something similar, what do your breakfast macros look…

quinoa vs cous cous. Discuss.
Hi, I'm a fan of cous cous with vegetables for lunch (either sald veg or roasted veg). But I've considered trying quinoa instead. What's the difference ? Would I use it in exactly the same way as cous cous. Thanks Suzanne

Greek yogurt?
I keep hearing people talk about it. How's it any better for you than regular yogurt? I saw that Ben and Jerry's now makes frozen Greek yogurt so I got some when dad decided we needed ice cream. I asked him to check the calories of his chosen ice cream (peanut butter cup) and compare with mine (raspberry fudge greek…

Switching from a low carb diet to a low fat diet?
I have been low-carbing for about 2/3rds of the last year, and I have had great success in being able to lose weight. What freaks me out though, is that I read a lot about how much weight people gain after they start eating carbs again. I do eventually want to integrate them back into my diet, and I know sustaining the…

oatmeal exposed!
it's cardboard. seriously. i just know this is some sort of nefarious "green" plot to recycle cardboard by pretending that it's edible. it's not. i force myself to eat a bowl every couple of days, but let's be real... it's cardboard. seriously. no matter what you add to it, it's still cardboard. feels like cardboard.…

Carbs are NOT the enemy!
The days of the Atkins diet are (or at least) SHOULD be over. I have recently found that many of my friends/colleagues etc think that eating carbs is bad for you? Why is that? Complex carbs like whole grains, beans, fruits and veggies are incredibly nutrient dense. They provide a sufficient amount of fiber and help provide…

Incorrect calorie count
Anyone else notice the numerous errors in the calorie counts of food. I just added Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake and had to add my own calorie info. Is it that people who are entering the calories manually & adding it to the database don't know how to read nutrition labels?? The container says there are only 260…

Skipping breakfast?

This morning my little bowl of oaty goodness is sitting on my desk waiting for me, but I am just not hungry. I think I will just put it in the refrigerator and…

Too much protein...is that really bad?
Hello All! Just been having a look through my diary days and have noticed that most days I'm having far too much protein. I'm on 1,250 calorie a day diet but generally tend to eat around 1,500 as I walk the dog twice a day so "earn" more calories. I've never really looked at the totals for carbs/fat/protein before but…

Cravings anyone??
I have never understood this about myself. Why when I know something is bad for me to eat, however I eat it anyways a lot of the time?? What the heck is it going to take to say NO WAY to those awful foods that I already know are bad for me more often then not. I know a little treat here and there is ok, but I treat a…

Seeking professional advice
I was cycling home by the river in the dark after a long ride. Well I must have been panting open-mouthed. All I know is that an insect - or possibly a tiny nocturnal bird - was then in my mouth. In fourth gear on a long flat, my speed was such that neither of us had a chance to extricate ourselves from the sudden…

I don't have a sweet tooth, but..
I don't crave sweets or cakes or things like that; however I find that I really crave salty foods. They're my absolute favorite. Especially when they're crunchy, too. Anyone else like this? Is there anything you munch on in place of giving in to your cravings?

Is it bad?
I havnt been eating much lately, I am quite stressed and when I eat during the day, I immediately feel sick and vomit the food back up. I dont eat breakfast, as I always feel ill after, and on the odd occasion I dont feel sick, I get really hungry for the rest of the day. It's weird. Anyway, my main meal is dinner, which I…

What to sacrifice?? Calories vs. Protein
So as I sit here this Halloween night with candy in my belly, I am exactly one calorie away from my limit and with 70g of protein under my belt. I am actually quite proud of my candy control - only had 4 small fun/snack sizes (200 calories worth), but am in a dilemma as I have not yet reached my 100g+ protein goal, not…
