Adult Beverages
Ok...I admit it, I like my wine. In fact, I heard the best line today from the lady I was sitting next to on the plane tonight...she said " I willing to sacrifice bread before I'll sacrifice my wine!". That is so me!! My friends and I call ourselves "winos" because it's our favorite. So, my issue is finding enough extra…

If you could eat the same meal for dinner every day,
What would it be? Healthy or otherwise. For me, it'd probably be a big roasted rotisserie style chicken thigh/leg/whatever with seasoned pinto beans (like the ones you'd get at Chipotle or something) on the side. Delicious. I'd get sooo full off that. Sigh. OR California Rolls with a plate of six perfectly-arranged…

When I drink tea I add two teaspoons of sugar-is it bad?
Because I *cannot* have tea without some sugar. I only have 1-2 cups of tea a day, and the other foods I eat have a low-mid amount of sugar in them, so it's not like I'm overloading. Is it healthy/ok to continue doing this or should I reduce the amount to one tea spoon? :frown: Edit-The tea I drink is chamomile, the brand…

Personally I find bulking much harder than cutting. Cramming your face with food until you feel sick, then knowing you have to eat more to meet your macros. Anyone else doing a bulk right now and want to share some meals or information?

Sugar - Is It Fair To Count Natural the Same As Processed?
Does anyone else find mfp's sugar allowances a bit whacked? I track my sugar intake along with the other stuff (protein, fat, carbs, etc), but I find the allowances a bit one sided. I only eat natural sugars - i.e. fresh or sometimes dried fruit (mainly raisins), organic juices, and about once a week an organic yogurt, and…

Has anyone stopped eating rice because of the news released about 2 weeks ago?
