Super Bowl Sunday Water Challenge!!
Are ya with me? Many of us will be faced with major temptation today as we watch the big game- whether you're a football fan or not! Why not have at least 1 thing to be proud of at the end of the day... drinking enough water? I'm hoping to stay within my calories, too, but drinking enough water is another goal of mine…

Raw Chicken Breast and Weight
I normally weigh my chicken after it's cooked, but tonight I weighed it before and after. I think the difference was 3 ounces? So... which am I supposed to log? Raw weight or cooked weight?

Bread question
I did a search but I didn't find what I was looking for. So if there is a post out there that covers this, please point me to it and accept my apologies! I make most of our bread. The one generally made/consumed is on the side of the package (sub butter for canola oil and use nonfat dry milk). It's also a 1.5lb loaf. When…

Luna Bar Minis
Hi all! I just saw that Luna Bar makes Minis! They look good, and at 80 cals a great snack. They have more protien then Special K bars, and look to be more filling. I thought I would see if anyone here has tried them? What do you think? Thanks!

question about snacks/ meals
Hi, I usually have a cup of coffee and a protein bar in the morning for breakfast. I then do a workout dvd usually within an hour or so. I am trying to drink a protein shake after my workouts, but I am not sure if I should put it in as breakfast or snacks and does it really matter? I usually have it before 10am. Thanks for…

how do you account for cooking with fats
Hi - just wondering - when I cook, I tend to use olive oil or olive based margarine but I am concerned when I account for my calories - do they account for the oils that you use - for example - a scrambled egg, I use some oil to coat the bottom of the pan - does the database account for the oil. Thanks Natalie

Yogurt
I feel like I am always trying to find a good tasting and healthy yogurt brand. Most of them seem to have way too much sugar or taste artificially sweet to my taste buds. Anything out there that tastes good and is healthy and low in calories?? I tried Oikos, and like the flavor but its pretty rich and plain. Any other good…

5 Ingredient Fix
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my recent discovery with all of you. I stumbled upon an episode of 5 Ingredient Fix on Food Network about a month ago and I love it! Not only does every recipe only require 5 ingredients, but the host, Claire Robinson, is not overly bubbly, fake and annoying like RR. Most of the recipe…

Two Days in One?
What do you think about carrying over calories or saving them up? Yesterday I went over my calories at a social function & am feeling pretty bad about it. Am thinking about eating under my goal today. And, in the future, I was thinking that if I knew I had something coming up, I might eat less the day before & again the…

"Big Food" is Telling us High Fructose Corn Syrup is Good Fo
I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I'm going to share an article I wrote just the same because It's worthy for all of us to share with and teach as many others as we can. Big Industry is Big Business. The latest and worst is Big Food and their advertising campaigns spreading their word that High Fructose Corn Syrup…

Resturants should have to ask..
They should have to ask "would you like the seasoning" or "would you like the butter". We were at Bonefish and no where in the description was there butter on any of their veggies. I came home and fell over. The green beans have just as much calories as the salmon..UGH.. I know live and learn and I "should" ask but…

Hi there! For the first time I've added weight training to my workout this month, with the help of a personal trainer.

food based vitamins - iron
Thought I'd share this find. I can only seem to manage to get about 50% of the daily iron I need through my diet so decided to try a supplement. A friend who is studying nutrition recommended I look for "food based" vitamins as being more easy to digest than traditional vitamins. The MegaFood brand has a "Women's One…
