Wanted to get some opinions on microwave usage
I use my microwave to prepare a lot of my foods purely out of convenience because I don't always have a lot of time, plus if I am bringing food with me to work I have to be able to warm it up.

After hour meals...
I am confused, at what time should I stop eating at night. I know there is a certain time at night that you should not eat because you are less active. My only problem is my boyfriend works late so we have really late dinners (he works till 11 at night). So what time should I stop consuming food?

Calories in white onions???
How would I find out what the calorie count is for a generic store bought white onion? As a matter of fact, how would I find out the calorie count for any "fresh" veggie that doesn't come with the information readily on the package? I have tried looking on MFP but there are many different calculations/variations.

Body By Vi (Visalus)
What are your thoughts on Body by Vi? A coworker of mine used it and lost weight in 30 days and has kept it off. He doesn't even excercise becuase of a medical condition.
