the kind diet
Anyone own this book? I am really interested in the recipes in it but I just hate buying recipe books when I can really only make 3 or 4 things in them because all the ingredients are just ridiculously expensive...and with a toddler and my husband to feed they have to be realistic. Any opinions? :) Thanks in advance!

Tofu or not tofu...that is MY question
I have never cooked tofu before, and I KNOW my dad doesn't like it. But, he has psoriasis and we looked up in a book called encyclopedia of healig foods and it said he needs to limit his meat intake.

McDonald's and Me
Okay, so here's the situation. My husband would really like McDonald's for supper tonight and I thought it would be okay. Knowing me, I tend to do my "homework" and research what I can have so that I can allow it for my daily intake. Not only that, I can't have red meat because it doesn't agree with my stomach so I'm left…

Calories per meal?
Do you divide up the amount of calories you eat per meal? I usually have 300 for breakfast, 200 for lunch, 300 before working out/ snack and 400 for dinner. Sometimes I'll eat a huge snack and skip dinner... Is that bad?

Slaughterhouse
I am officially going VEG as of right now! "The shocking story of greed, neglect and inhumane treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry" couldn't be a more accurate description of the content of this book.

In theory... (dinner question!)
In theory say you had a rather large calorie count at lunch. Also assume you went over the daily suggested amount of calorie intake. What would you do for dinner? :happy:

Sodium
I know sodium is bad in HUGE amounts and given my family history, I need to watch it. I was curious as to what kind of foods are low in sodium. I could look it up myself but I don't have a whole lot of time right now, so if you happen to know anything please post! Thanks!

Banana vs. 3 mini Mr. Goodbars
What to do?? They are the same # of calories... 120 either way. I have the banana in front of me. There is an ENTIRE BAG of those wretched candies on the staff kitchen table at work. I love them so much. If I could be Mrs. Goodbar, I would be. Is there really anything wrong with making the trade? Same calories...

The all falmous low carb diets- thoughts?
So, my total for carbs according to MFP goals is 165 g. Should I feel guilty about this? Is this too much carbs? are carbs bad for me? I only worry because Atkins and other similar diets, do not like carbs and restrict to 19 g or something crazy like that, but I know they work. I am a carb worry-holic now, and would like…

What I have learned... on my Journey... Maybe inspirational?
It's truly all about the math, eat less and move more. However, you can’t eat TOO LESS….If you simply starve, your body freaks out and stores. When we eat too little, our bodies go into ‘starvation’ mode storing everything we do consume as fat. Eat the right amount and it will help your metabolism to burn stored fat and…

prepackaged low-calorie meals
As a college student, it's nearly impossible to make your own meals, and fast food restaurants are on literally every corner. So I was just wondering if anyone has found any prepackaged (microwaving is the most advanced form of cooking i have access to) meals that are low in calories. Thanks.

Calories from fat & carb/protein/fat ratio
Hey all.. Couple of questions, my current ratio on my carb/protein/fat intake are ending up around 60/30/10 each day.. I'm not on a low carb diet but was aiming to have a ratio of 40/40/20 which is more balanced I believe. I find it really hard to replace carbs with protein as everything including fruit has tons of carbs…

Not eating enough during the day.
I have just had a major eating session. I believe the problem is that I just did not eat enough during the day. Once I started eating tonight I could not stop. Is there a standard calories goal that you all try to eat for breakfast and lunch to remain satisfied?

Super Noodle Warning!
I thought I had really lucked out with Bachelor's Super Noodles - theyre tasty, ridiculously cheap - which helps, because I'm a student and keep me filled up in the daytime. All this at only 175 Calories per pack - or so I thought. The pack weighs 100g and the nutrition information gives the calorie content at 175 per 100g…

How did you "get into" healthy foods?
My 2 cents: Many people complain that they cannot "get into" healthy foods. I was one of those folks. How I got into healthy foods was this. I pick out what fruits and vegetables I like and starting eating those (balanced of course). There is surely something that you (general you) like that is healthy. Do you like…

1/2 Weight in Water???
I have read on here several times that people are attempting to drink half of their weight in water per DAY...now I dunno about you, but I weigh 140 pounds and I JUST don't see how it's going to be possible to drink 70lbs of water per day!!! Obviously you'd have to break it down to ounces, but I worked it out that I'd have…

Lunch was catered for us by the parents committee for Teacher…
