Chicken Pot Pie...
How terrible (nutritionally) is homemade chicken pot pie? Going to a relatives house for dinner tonight and just found out that's what she's making. I have never had it before, so I'm not even sure what to expect as far as taste or nutrition! I offered to bring a salad, but haven't heard back from her if she'd like me to…

Eating Things That Aren't Good For You
I am amused by people that qualify what they eat by saying, " I know it isn't good for me,but......" This is generally when they are eating or drinking some chemical laden food like diet soda or something equally as evil on a regular basis. I was reading in my Oxygen magazine and it said the following " Ironically most…

Drank my Calories away...
I planned on going out last night so I tried to keep my calories low during the day to make up for the ones I knew I was going to drink. Well, I think I kept them too low! I ended up going WAY over on my cals anyway and now I feel so gross. What's worse is that I went over on my sugar by almost triple...ugh. I need…

Subway

Omg have you tried
Dannon Light & Fit Apple Pie flavored yogurt?!?! It's DELICIOUS! My new favorite..too bad it's a 'limited time only' thing! It's soo freaking good, tastes JUST like apple pie, my FAVORITE dessert!

Sugar intake
Do people actually achieve 24g or less of sugar a day. I'm already over today and thats from having all bran at breakfast, half an apple and cabbage based slaw for lunch. Thats ridiculous. I understand cutting back on sugar, especially refined and processed foods containing sugar, but the natural sugar in moderate fruit…

Help me twaek a recipe please!
I love the no bake peanut butter bars from the tollhouse recipes. I've been playing with the ingrediants trying to make it a bit better....(well as better as it can get) All of the totals below are for a 13x9 inch pan. So you'd generally cut it up into 48 square to get roughly 175 cals per serving.....that's just too much…

Does anyone else crave...
Lettuce? I crave it ALL the time! I love lettuce so much that I will buy a bag of the premixed iceburg salad and finish the whole bag myself...I am actually finishing up a bag as we speak. :blushing: I know there are MUCH worse things to crave but I was just curious if anyone else craves it too!

Not enough calories?
So looking at my food diary today, breakfast and supper I am having over 300 cals but at lunch time it doesn't look like I"m having very many (just a little over 100)...is that okay, or should I be eating a little more at lunch time?

Green Tea vs. Energy Drinks?
Okay, so I've been reading a little about green tea and how they affect weight loss. It seems to me that the thing speeding up one's metabolism is the caffeine in the tea. So what's the difference, diet-wise, between drinking green tea & a 0 cal, high-caffeine drink? Or am I completely off base?

Too hungry!!!
Hi Y'all, I'm having a problem and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Been to the doctor who's done the blood work and nothing's showed up. FYI: I'm celiac and have to be dairy-free (allergy AND intolerance for dairy). I eat a really good breakfast - high protein, reasonable fiber. Usually 3 egg whites, apple and potato…

Too full!
I always feel like I eat so much throughout the day but when I log all of it in, it turns out that I'm short on calories. I never feel like I'm starving myself or anything like that. I don't want to be eating more than I really need to. Is this a bad practice?

banking calories?
I have read here a couple of times about banking calories. You know, saving up some during the week so you are not worrying about a binge later? This cannot be correct is it? If so..... I have a heck of a binge coming my way! If I left 200 calories uneaten every day this week, that does not mean I can eat 1000 extra today.…
