We are thinking of going out to dinner tomorrow night and I know we have a few of their items in the database but i was wondering if anyone goes there frequently and what is the "healthiest" thing I could get.

What's a good 'sugar' goal?
I changed the food settings to watch my sugar intake. Based on the automatic settings, I typically go over my sugar intake by lunch! This happens even when I'm just eating fruit/etc, not bars or some other form of processed sugar. What's a reasonable sugar goal to set? Diabetes runs in my family and I'd like to be more…

How much water?

I usually guzzle a liter during my class, and then another liter and a half during the day in the winter. In the summer I can drink more, but in the winter I can't seem to drink more than 2 1/2 liters. That's 10 cups.…

Diet coke..Bad choice?
So I know that any type of soda isn't good, and I have heard that diet soda is even worst than reguar soda. But when Im hungry, if I drink so diet coke(i prefer coke zero) it helps fill me up so I dont need to eat a snack. I think that sounds like a good idea to save some calories but I dont know....

Chili
I assumed chili would be pretty healthy with the beans and such but I looked at the cans in the grocery store and they are almost 600 calories per can! Can chili be healthy? If I made it myself? Is the high calorie count due to added ingredients that aren't needed?

What's everyone's favorite lunch right now?
I work in an office so I have some limitations to what I can bring for lunch. I try to do something in batches so that I just have to portion everything out and I'm good to go for a week.

weighing meat/poultry
Am I supposed to weigh it before or after it is cooked. Four ounces of raw chx weighs more than 4 ounces of cooked chicken, so which do you use? Same thing with fish too.

Sodium...
OK - so I started tracking salt/sodium intake because everyone keeps talking about it on here. Why is it so damn important? Is it because it just makes us retain water and then look bloated? I've been under by about half today...I'm sure I'll have some with dinner. But I wanna know WHY do we care so much?

olive oil
Alright - I know olive oil is the "good fat" but I still don't like seeing the 2 TBSP = 19 grams of fat! Sometimes I use it to cook and it puts me over my fat grams every time. So here is my question: If I saute some veggies in a TBSP of olive oil and garlic, does the oil burn off and so not count? Or should I count it?…

Embarrassing (healthy) food habits?
I love certain vegetables, and I get a little out of control with them sometimes. For example, I can eat a half a head (or sometimes the entire thing) of cabbage by myself without a problem. When I log foods like this it always makes me a little embarrassed since it's an entire HEAD of cabbage. I also usually eat an entire…
