Healthy on a budget?
I'm a stay at home mom who is rather... frugal. Since giving up my career a few years ago I feel it's my "job" to make sure that we get as much for our money as possible.

Frankenfood!!
I posted this on another thread, but I'll say it again because I keep seeing it pop up... "Zero calorie" food, aka Walden Farms, seems so wrong to me. How can something have no calories? I feel like if I ate a piece of wood or a handful of dirt it would have calories. How can they make it no calories (technically less than…

How EGGsactly does this work???
If I put in "egg, large" and hit search it comes up with 70 calories. If I put in "large egg, hard boiled" it comes up with 211 calories. Are you trying to tell me that just COOKING an egg can increase it's caloric contents by three times? It wasn't fried, it was BOILED! No additives, no butter, no oil. WHAT GIVES???

Weighing Meat
So we all know about portion control. We know that a serving of meat is about 4-5 oz. Question: When are you supposed to weigh the meat? When it's frozen, when it's thawed but raw, or after it's cooked?

Buffalo Meat
I know, red meat is not the best for you, but that is just one of my must have things. If you eat red meat and looking for something low fat and low cal Buffalo meat is great.

Clean Eating...
I have unconsciously been eating 'cleanly' since I really started to get serious about logging my food about a month ago. I quickly realized that I could eat much more if I ate healthy - lean meats, vegies, fruits, very very little processed food, etc. I decided that if it's in a box and has preservatives in it, I will do…

Help me make my grocery list!
I know that if I have good food choices in the house and readily available, I won't cheat and eat something bad. But I always struggle with what to get at the store and what will actually taste good and truly be healthy (or not UNhealthy, I guess). So, tell me some of the things that are ALWAYS on your grocery…

celery
My entire life I've heard that celery is a negative calorie, you burn more calories eating it than it gives you. Instead, when i put it on here it came up as 2 calories. Obviously it isn't a big deal at all and didn't change my daily food diary drastically, i was just curious which was true. :)
