Umm...gross
Is it me, or does tilapia taste like...mud? I am trying to integrate more fish into my diet, and in my zeal, I bought BJ's-sized bag of frozen fillets. I tried lemon-pepper tilapia with panko crumbs. My husband and I had to eat it with tartar sauce to get it down - which sort of defeats the purpose of eating fish. Anyone…

Need lunch ideas
Hi, I didn't bring my lunch to work today, so I have to go out and get something. Normally, I would treat myself to a Subway turkey sandwich. But today is Friday, and I'm trying to observe Lent, so no meat. I really don't want tuna salad, since most places use way too much mayonnaise for my liking. Any ideas on a healthy,…

Dole Fruit Cups
Have 80 calories in each. However, I also drink the juice mixed in, but my question arises if the juice is or isn't included in the caloric intake. Being that I am on a 1200 calorie diet at the moment, doubling that 80 calories would definitely put me over my mark. Plus, I have 2-3 of these each day as snacks. :) Any…

Eat This-Not That
:tongue: I am a lover of food!!! I don't over eat, it's what I eat that seems to be the problem. I love fast food and sweets and fried anything. So I have started to slowley but surely been changing not exactly what I eat but the kind of product that I pick. I want to start something simple where people can post their…

Left over calories
I just recently discovered MFP, its my third day here but I've been trying to pursue the "healthier lifestyle" for since the new year. I've had around 200 calories remaining at the end of the day without exercise. I don't know if this is a big problem, I'm just not hungry enough to fill the 1200 calories allowed. I'm…

Store brand vs Name brand
Do you mostly buy the generic store brand, or name brand food items? I'm just curious. I've found that, at Kroger's, their store brand items (Private Selection and Active Lifestyle) are really good. Wal-mart too has some good generic products. Do you prefer to buy generic because it's cheaper, or name brand because you…

Updating Calorie Goals
So now that I have lost weight, my daily calorie intake is decreasing. At first I could have almost 2000 calories a day, then it was down to 1850 and now it is at about 1760. It has been really hard for me to stay under 1760 and I feel like I go over every single day if I do not earn extra calories from working out. Do you…

miss peanut butter? i've found the solution!

Extra Calories from Exercise
I was so excited when I realized that I was able to add to my calorie count by working out! I thought, yay! now I get to eat more! :love: But I also thought, should I limit myself? Should I just consume my regular daily amount of calories in order to lose more weight? I mean it does make sense, isn't that why I'm working…

Super Sodas and Fortified Drinks aren't Healthier
You've seen them on local and national supermarket shelves: Bottles of soda, juice and water touting nutritional benefits like, "added vitamins" and, "fortified with nutrients". Right? You have to consume a LOT of sugar to get a very small amount of nutrients from those beverages. A glass of tap water and a multivitamin…

I'm always over on protein...is that bad?
Every day I'm over on my protein. I eat very healthy protein, ie low fat cottage cheese, lean ground turkey, cod but I wonder how bad it to be over every day. Could it be affecting weight loss? It may be because on past diets and programs they were low carb and high protein. Any input would help! Thanks

frustrated - I'm always hungry!!
Hi guys I am looking for some opinions, insight, advice. I am ALWAYS hungry it seems, and it's so frustrating. When I first joined MFP I tried to eat 1200 calories a day, but I always went over.

Not really a treat any more
One Friday a month or so, I don't take my usual homemade lunch to work, but allow a take-out lunch. So, I sat down this morning and planned my "treat", even looked up the nutritional content on the KFC website and told myself I'd have to drink more water to counteract the sodium dump I was planning. I had the Zinger burger…

Sopes
Today I was at the store looking for an alternative to my 180 calorie tortillas and I found something even better, sopes! At only 60 calories each, if I have two of them I'd still be ahead. They're made of the same stuff as corn tortillas, but are smaller and thicker, for an open faced sandwich or taco. I've had them in…

What do you think about net carbs?
I personally count all carbs I eat. I've met people and read info that subtracting the fiber from the carbs are the net carbs you are actually eatting. Hummm? I just don't know how I feel about this. Wondering what everyone else thinks on the topic?
