I don't eat breakfast at all, my old breakfast was a pepsi but I'm trying to give that up. I need some ideas that would be kid friendly and easy. Warning I don't like a lot of breakfast foods. I just can't eat eggs, if cooked in something ok but not plain eggs.

re protein and carbs
Okay posted this one a while ago no one responded! Is there not anyone that knows if it is okay to eat the same amount of protein some days as your carbs or pretty darn close! I do have a diet also three days a week where I eat low carbs one day, high carbs the next, and moderate carbs the next, and then go back to eating…

Our Thanksgiving Menu: -Turkey (baked) -rice…

peanut m&ms....
I know we aren't supposed to eat these, but I'm into moderation, I can't just NEVER eat them again and i got to thinking.... well these could be a good pre workout snack, they are much more substantial because of the peanuts and you can have like 8 and be pretty satisfied... what do you guys think? I actually had a…

Bob Harper was WRONG last night about Soy
About Soy. I can't believe he went on and did a ringing endorsement of soy products. Without once mentioning the possible negative side effects of soy. Facts about soy. 1) The soy US people eat contains protein that is largely indigestible for humans. Which means something that says it has say 20 g of protein but is…

Help!!
Alright, so, I'm not real sure what kind of funk I'm in, but I'm not real happy about it nor am I proud of it. I've eaten more junk in the past 3-4 days and have gained about 5 pounds back... :grumble: I've gotten to the point where I just eat it and convince myself that it's okay and then that leads to another piece of…

I'm really bad about drinking a lot of water but I feel it could help me, has anyone seen a big difference in the way they feel when they drink a lot of water, or any…

shelf life of wine
I've had a cheap bottle of white zinfindel (7 bucks from the grocery store) for about a month or two now, is it still good? I know a lot of fancy's wines are 20+ years old, but this has been opened. I wasn't sure how long it lasts once its opened.

What about Splenda?
I just read the thread about aspartame and how it contributes to migraines, the tendency to put on belly fat, etc. I don't consume much, if any, aspartame, but I do like to put some splenda in my fruit smoothies. Usually fruit is too "tart" for me - it's just a taste thing, it's been like that all my life. I've never…

Healthy fat options
Hello, Usually I'm pretty creative with my eating, but I'm having a hard time getting in my recommended fat without going way over on carbs or sodium. On days when I eat a lot of cheese, my fat is okay, but I don't really think it's healthy to load up on cheese every day. I also don't eat a lot of red meat, and rarely use…

Texas Roadhouse Trauma
Ok, I know it's bad to eat at Texas Roadhouse, but my friends really want to go and they gave me a gift certificate. I'm not sure what to eat, though. I absolutely ADORE the rolls, but they're practically the kiss of death. I want the mashed potatoes (I don't get gravy), but I can't find calorie information for them…

Where to find Tahini?
Where is tahini located in your grocery store? I know that I've found it at Meijer before, but when I was looking for it the other day I couldn't find it anywhere :grumble: Help!

Gum
So... *making random conversation* What's everyone's favorite brand of gum? Mine is 5. Love their Zing flavor. Munching on Solstice right now. Wasn't as impressed with at first, but now it's very refreshing. Was very disappointed in Stride gum. IMO, 5's flavor lasts a whole lot longer than Stride. Just curious, I guess.…

Pure Protein Products
I love the Pure Protein bars, I always keep some in the house. I was at Target and saw they also had protein shakes in a can and whey powder. Has anyone tried them? I thought about getting some, but I did that last time, not looking at any reviews, and it wasn't a great experience, lol.

IZZE Drinks
Does anyone have thoughts on IZZE Fortified drinks? I am trying hard to cut soda out of my diet, and stumbled upon the little IZZE cans last week. I feel like they are an OK replacement for soda in addition to all the water I am drinking They are 70% concentrated juice and 30% sparkling water. 1 Can is 90 calories. Anyone…

Aspartame
What are everyone's thoughts on Aspartame? Do you try to avoid it, or not worry about it? I have recently noticed that a lot of things I consumed have this in it, and have decided to cut it out of my diet completely. Have not had much time to notice if it makes a difference in my overall health, but have heard so many bad…

Is that too much to ask???? Headed to the gym last night and stopped at the store to pick up a pack of gum....what ever happened to good old normal every day Juicy Fruit or Double Mint!!! There wasn't ONE pack of gum out of dozens that didn't have asparatame or aceK in it!!!! Even the bubble gum was sugar free! Sugar vs…

Croutons in Dole Salads...
Does anyone have ANY idea of the nutritional info for the croutons that Dole puts in their ceasar salad kits?? I've been looking everywhere to see if leaving them out of my salad really makes a difference as far as calories go. The Dole website doesn't even give nutrition info for the individual components that make up…

Juice...
So I came down with a bad cold early yesterday. :sad: I've always flushed my colds out quickly by taking large doses of Vitamin C. Now, one of the easiest ways to get extra C is to drink juice! I gave up juice about 8 months ago because it's so high in sugar, carbs and cals. Drinking one container (16 ozs) gives me 220…

pasta-weigh before or after cooked
Last night I made pasta. I weighed it before I cooked it on my handy-dandy new digital scale. I had exactly two ounces and cooked it. I weighed it after and it was almost 3 ounces. Should I have eaten the whole amount that was 2 ounces before or eaten just 2 ounces of the cooked amount? I am so confused....

Carbs: Seeking Foods Low In Them But With A Catch
So today I hit over my fiber, protein, and unfortunately sodium. I was under cals although I wished I could have eaten them so I don't eat too few. But I didn't eat more because I was over carbs (I had a banana a moment ago which was the nail in that coffin). So I have two questions. First, how much over is too much over…
