What's Up With Turkey?
What exactly is it that makes ground turkey so much better for us than ground beef??? I just had a really yummy turkey burger. It was so yummy in fact that I became more and more convinced with each bite that it was actually not as healthy as it seemed to be. Paranoia led me to pondering the above question, and so I did a…

I gave birth to my beautiful daughter in May last year and didn't/don't want her to associate the nasty smell of ciggs with her Mommy. Growing up and still today I deal with…

1200 calories
Should I be doing more than 1200 calories? But I sit at a computer all day and I'm trying to get walks in on my 15 min breaks, and also trying to get some excercise at home as well! But I feel like I'm always hungry, but I'm also doing portion control, so I think that is my biggest down fall that I was eating way too much.…

Increasing water causing kidney pain???
Ok, I've been doing wonderfully at eating clean. I don't drink coffee, ever. I do drink diet coke but I have severely cut back and am down to about 20 oz (or less) per day. I've also been drinking about 60-80 oz of water daily. We have Culligan at work and at home we have city water. Since I've upped my water, I've been…

Camping Food Suggestions
I am heading camping this weekend! I DO NOT WANT TO sit around the campfire munching on Doritos. I have already thought that I could slice up some cucumbers, grab a jar of LARGE pickles. I am watching carbs more, but also calories! Any other suggestions for food while camping would be helpful....

Protein, what are your limits?
For some reason my food diary has my protein set at 54g. EVERY day I go over that. Is that bad? Am I hindering my weight loss by going over my protein? I don't know that I could cut out any more of my proteins...aren't they good for us to get? Any insight into this would be great. If I do need to cut back on my protein, I…

I was first off entering that I was having 3/4 of a cup of the oatmeal whch is not at all what I eat, I have 1/3 cup (anymore and I think I would burst at the seams). Also I wasn't entering the right kind of oatmeal. I was entering a…

What's a "good fat"?
Ok, so my new love is Cocoa Roasted Almonds. However, a 100 calorie pack of those has 8 grams of fat! Everyone tells me not to worry about that because almonds have "good fat". But I do still count it as fat grams for the day, right?

Frustrated ...need b-fast suggestions
I am so frustrated right now. I woke up about 1 1/2 hours ago and am getting pretty hungry. Problem is, the people who I live with are asleep on the couch in the living room....at 9 am. Which wouldn't be so bad if they didn't get up at 4am every morning. They are both on vacation this week, and still get up at 4am...then…

combining treats
I saw on "Eat This, Not That" today that combining junk snacks with healthy snacks is a good idea. They suggested combining half Lucky Charms and half All Bran. It boosts the fiber but you still have the fun of the marshmallows. Are there any other ideas out there?

Tracking Food
You know....I find that if I plan all my meals and portions, first thing in the morning, and log it all in, it helps me stay on track. I can see exactly what I am eating for the day, then see how much more or less I have to work with, by the end of the day. I think it really does help to have a food journal, whether it's…
