Nutritional Information on Food is Wrong!?
Over time, I've been noticing that my macros and my calorie intake on MFP hasn't been matching. I have frequently been under my calorie goal, but over on my macros. Today, I decided to look into it. My macro for today currently reads 121g of carbs, 49g of fat, and 163g of protein. MFP claims that is a total of 1404…

PB = migraine trigger / PB2 = ?
Has anyone who gets migraines as a result of eating peanut butter tried eating PB2? Peanut butter as a migraine trigger is a relatively new discovery for me. I used to eat it every day and now I can't have any! I'm not sure what the exact ingredient is that causes my migraines, though. Thoughts on using PB2 instead?

Changing up your food
I always see/hear people talking about how you should change up what you eat from day to day because your body can get used to what you're eating. I really don't understand that.

Protein? Can it be too much?
And when I mean 'can it be too much', I mean what I have posted in my diary for the past 2 days. I've read somewhere that the MFP recommendations are very low for protein, however I'm not too sure and seeing those minus, big red numbers makes me want to curl up. If I were to eat too much protein (from other diets…

Juice from concentrate
Are there any studies that show benefits from drinking juice not from concentrate compared to drinking juice from concentrate? I know eating the raw fruit is itself better, but juice from concentrate is cheaper than the raw fruit and not from concentrate.

The word "bowel" has no place in the Food Database
I'm not nagging or whining. I'm not even one of those people who bang on about others who use "their/they're/there" incorrectly (although I do inwardly wince). However, for the sake of who use the database to log food..... I am begging, pleading and IMPLORING: please, when you enter foods in the database, make sure you…
