Devil in the Drinks
My apologies if this has been posted before, but WOW! Look at all the sugar in popular drinks! The article not only displays the nutritional information, but places the drink up to its equivalent sugar servings in food items. http://eatthis.menshealth.com/slideshow/20-worst-drinks-america-2010#title

Morning running nutrition
Sometimes going for a run first thing in the morning is all the time I have for exercise in the morning. Would it be better to eat something before I head out or wait to have breakfast (a high protein shake and some oatmeal and fruit) for when I get back? I have heard you're supposed to wait an hour to 90 minutes to…

Pancake Breakfast!!!
So...breakfast.:grumble: Breakfast for me is usually a packet of oatmeal and some soy milk and then I go about my day. Since my husband is deployed, this is about all the cooking I usually want to do, and it's suited me just fine for the 7 months he's been gone so far. Well, I have been wanting to start a "Pancake Sunday"…

Margarita!!
So, I make some pretty amazing margaritas. I was wondering about their nutrition facts, since typical restaurant margs are super awful for you, and found out that mine are definately on the lower end calorie wise! Thought I would share my recipe, in the spirit of the holiday weekend. Put the following in a shaker with ice:…

Lara Bars?
So, I was at Sam's today and saw them on the shelf. They look so good and I loved the fact that the ingredients listed were things I recognized (just fruit and nuts). I hope I like them as much as I like the thought of how they're made. The box I bought had Apple Pie, Cashew cookie (YUM!! I love cashews!!!) and Cherry Pie.…

I find it interesting how... (a bit of a rant)
I find it interesting (and a bit frustrating) how people think they can live off of granola bars and protein shakes and lose weight while being "healthy." I look at some of my friends diaries, or hear what my friends and coworkers are eating while they try to lose weight, and it seems like it should be obvious as to why…

Alcohol and takeaway!!
Hey all! Hope you are all well. My name is Becky and as you probably have noticed by the subject heading I have a weakness for both subjects. This weekend I was very naughty and drank lots of alcohol and then topped it off by takeaway (as you can see by my food diary :-( ). It was one of my old school friends stag night as…

"portable" breakfast ideas?
I usually run out the door in the morning (well, cycle) and just bring my breakfast to work with me. I usually have oats with raisins, apple, almonds, or some sort of fruit and a touch of brown sugar as I really only need hot water and a fork to eat them. BUT I am getting bored. Anyone have any ideas for portable…

No appetite :(
Has anyone ever had a day where they've had no appetite at all? I have no idea why, but today I have had no appetite. I don't know what to do. I know I need to eat at least 1200 calories today, but I'm barely at 400 and I had to force those down. :(

Monster Shakes
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share... My dear wife has found a site "Green Monster Movement" featuring healthy shakes. My problem is that most of them have banana in them, which I am allergic to... So, we have created our own shakes. They are all healthy, and super filling, thus reducing my cravings for afternoon snacks…

Lunchmeat?
I'm sorry if this has been posted a million times but I searched the topics and didn't quite fine what I was looking for. I was just reading in another post about the "evils" of lunchmeat along with other "processed" foods. I guess I am not understanding why lunchmeat (the lean varierty anyway) is the devil? I am looking…

Low Carb/High Protein - The Way To Go?
Hi everyone, I've noticed over my journey of weight loss - ups and downs - that me and carbs don't get on, well mainly bread! Even though I always have the small wholemeal slices if I do fancy a sandwich or some toast etc. Now I've switched white rice for brown rice and white pasta for wholemeal but still only have them in…

Liqorice root!
Me and my boyfriend were in an old fashioned English sweetshop the other day, knowing hat I couldnt have anything I was quite depressed, but I spotted a jar of liqorice roots and just had to buy one. I figured, they are sweet, take a long time to eat so they keep you busy and complely natural, so it cant have much calories…

Excess sugar - what's the outcome?
Hi, I regularly have too much sugar according to the nutritional profile on MFP, and it bothers me that I don't actually know what the effect on me is!! So a banana, some special K with red berries, an apple and a couple of cups of tea can send me over the limit. Can anyone tell me what my body will do with the excess…

A protein bar that actually tastes good...
I found one! Balance Gold - Caramel Nut Blast (some of the other flavors are good but this is my fave!) Easy enough to take to work for breakfast (I'm a nurse) and it tastes great! Not gritty, no chunks of "protein nuggets" (that I can't stand!) and it's fairly nutritional. Just thought I'd share! Here's the stats...…

Hungry Girl Vent
I was intrigued by hungrygirl.com after seeing her make some chicken on TV. She compared it to the taste of a chik-fil-a without frying it. It was made with crushed Fiber One cereal. I went home and browsed her website, signed up for the newsletter, read recipes, etc. Well, I am disgusted with it. I would say about 90% of…
