Help! Going out for a pub dinner tonight (UK)
I am going out for a pub dinner tonight, where from what I can make out the food is freshly made (no microwave meals) and am not really sure what is on the menu, so cannot plan ahead what to eat. I have about 800 cals left for the day as I had a work out earlier. Does anybody have any ideas on what I can eat tonight…

measuring help!
I bought some frozen chicken the other day, and the nutrition label says 110 calories per 4oz piece. Does that mean 4oz frozen, cooked, or raw? because they all weigh different!

Quinoa question
Does anyone happen to know how big of a nutritional difference 1/4 cup of uncooked quinoa is compared to 1/4 cup cooked? Does it swell quite a bit? I made some Eden quinoa - organic whole grain and all I can find is the value of it uncooked. I know that rice is a big difference, but what about quinoa? (just cooked it in…

Had a delicious supper
So, Friday was my first real day of grocery shopping since eating healthier, and I have to say, I was much longer in the grocery store than usual.....read every label checked all the sodium levels, etc....but it was worth it. Anyway, before hubby went to visit his parents today, he asked what was for supper. I said I…

Mashed Potatoes
Hi all, Silly question maybe, but I'm entering my mashed potato recipe and I wondered ... Should I weigh the potatoes before or after boiling? In the past, I've always weighed potatoes AFTER cooking (microwave/oven baking), so - not too sure about this. Any ideas?

Salmon at Chili's
I went to Chili's last week and ordered the Salmon with Garlic and Herbs. I asked for double broccoli instead of rice and broccoli. It was outstanding! I found a calorie count somewhere for that meal that said "as served" with around 700 calories. Since I didn't eat any rice, I calculated the calories of the salmon (it…

when do you count your water?
:drinker: When I cook tomato soup and use 1 cup of water to make it, do I count that 1 cup of water into my water count for the day? Do you count it in things like Special K protein mixes? What about Crystal lite or black coffee? Or do you only count plain water & non-caffine drinks (decafe coffee)? I don't think I am…

Sodium you're killing me!
I'm glad I am having MFP track my sodium, but it's scary how much I used to eat! It is gradually getting lower and lower, as I figure out which foods are low in it. But I have had some surprises! I got shelled Edamame from Trader Joe's... 1/4 cup has 440 mg of sodium! Holy crap! That is like 25% of my daily intake of…

Vitamin D deficiency
I started my weight loss journey in November. A group of friends at work decided we were going to put $5 into the pot and whoever lost the most at the end of that month, would get the money. I struggled to eat between 1200 and 1300 cals per day and was exercising 5 days a week. I could feel myself shrinking. My clothes…

Low/No Fat Snacks?
Hey there! I've been around this site for a week or so now, first time in the forums. And I'm finding the hardest thing for me is eating enough calories without going over the fat. The worst day so far, I had over 400 calories left to eat but was -17 in fat! Most days, I have 50-200 calories left to eat, but am over in the…
