White Castle Milkshakes - possible demographic "fattening"
A friend just pointed out to me that White Castle's milkshakes vary GREATLY in Calories depending on what region the restaurant is in. I find this extremely concerning b/c I live in Louisville and they have almost DOUBLE the calories than some of the other regions. 9g of fat in Chicago, 48g in Louisville? 154 g sugar in…

Is it only plain unchanged water that counts toward your 8 a day? Or can it have a crystal lite packet in it?

Hi everyone, I had bought some diced peaches yesterday at the family dollar store because the 4 oz cups are good serving sizes for a snack.

Passover Ideas
Hello! My family and I observe Passover by not eating items with wheat in them (except for matzah). This is usually a great time for my diet as I can finally walk past cake, etc. and not be tempted in the slightest... I find willpower I didn't know I had! Anyway, I usually incorporate a lot of whole grains in my diet…

And then recently, right here in the US, a…
