Ok. So Hubby and I found a new chinese Buffet/ all you can eat sushi bar in our area. We absolutely love this place and we went for Valentines day before heading to the Casino for an evening of gambling.

Baked Potatos
There is no nutritional value on a bag of potatos, and here it says 1.5 cups of baked potato without skin is 170cals. Is that right? Do potato skins REALLY have THAT many calories in them?

Valentine's candy?
OKay, I just ate some chocolates from a small Valentine's Day heart.:heart: It has only three chocolates in it which have filling. The nutrition facts are on the back. My question is: how to count the calories if I don't eat the filling? I don't like the filling, so I'm basically just eating the chocolate around them. Any…

Needing 8 glasses of water a day a "myth"
This topic came up in another post, and I am repeating my comments here because I think it will be noticed by more people as a "new topic". There is NO SCIENCE behind the advice that you need to drink 8 glasses of water a day. For a starting point on this fact, google the topic, or see the article: "The claim that you need…

8 glasses of water per day
How many people actually drink the reccomended 64 oz of water per day? I find I have a lot of trouble drinking even 16! I usually only drink water through out the day and 1 cup of tea in the morning and maybe some juice with dinner. I bring my water with me everywhere and I sip often. Im simply not thirsty enough to drink…

Too much iron?
I need to preface this post by announcing that I am a robot, well technically a cyborg, but it's the robot parts that are throwing me off. I look human, appearing very much as the strong silent type, I'm very, very muscular looking, but those organic features are purely cosmetic and all my strength actually comes from my…

Making a Smoothie
Hey I have been reading this book by Harvey Diamond which talks about a specific diet that people should be on. Before I get into the diet he mentions making a fruit smoothie with a banana? I always thought you used crushed ice and blended it with a fruit of your choice vs a banana? Can you blend it with a banana for the…

Great lifestyle to live by and am just wondering what are some different breakfast ideas that you have??

Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing @ Ruby Tuesdays...
Hey all- Ruby Tuesday's lists their nutrition info. on their website, but they only list the calories, fat, fiber and net carbs for their menu items. I'm specifically looking for the sodium content of the dressing. It's listed as "zero" on many other websites (Daily Plate, etc.). I know that a lot of balsamic dressings do…

Ask…

Natural vs. added sugars
Hello all, I searched to see if I could find an old post about this, but nothing gave me a definite answer. MFP gives me a sugar limit of 24 grams per day. Is that just processed sugar or sugar overall? ie: fruit, veggies, etc? Even 1 cup of green grapes puts me over that mark. It's easy to avoid the "hard stuff" like…

Whey protien, what kind do you use?
Well, I'm doing a high protien diet at the moment. I changed MFP to have 50% protien a day. I was having a hard time feeling full and so on and so on. Reason's I changed it are my own I guess. Anyway, with my protien intake being so high I was finding it hard to get enough without going over on fat. That's when I decided…
