Nutritional Info Sites etc
Just wanted to let you all know that if (for some reason) MFP doesn't have a food listed in it's database (and I have found lately this is especially prevalent for dining out/restaurants) that there are a couple good websites out there that list a full nutritional panel: www.livestrong.com www.thedailyplate.com It's handy…

appetite, calories and nutrition question
I've been reading and reading and reading, looking to get this "problem" resolved and it's multi-tiered so I've had no luck other than a bunch of "well, I think you should... " or "what I do is...". All that is great and some really good general advice, perspectives etc. However, it's not netting me the information I want…

Please DO NOT add foods to the database....
...that are already in there! Please do a careful search BEFORE you add anything because chances are pretty high that unless it is homemade, it is already in there. It's getting to be quite time-consuming entering name brand foods into the food diary because there are so many entries for the same item and by the time I get…

Apple Calories - Count core or no?
I was wondering if I should calculate the calories for an apple based on how much I ate (weigh apple before, weigh when I'm done to get the total grams I ate) or count the whole thing? There's listings for medium and large size apples in the database and then there's a listing for calories per gram for an apple, but I…

Thought I'd share
I wanted to mention something that I noticed about my food choices. What I've found is that through the use of this website, I make healthier choices regarding what I eat and plan to eat automatically. By making those healthier choices, I've been able to shift from splenda to sugar in the raw, and from margarine to butter…

Soy was out since it's estrogenic and I don't need that it my diet. So I was left to try almond milk. Well THANK GOD it turned out to be…
