Paleo Diet
Hey Everyone I was just curious to see if anyone is currently following the Paleo Diet. I guess it isn't considered a diet but a way of life but I am considering trying it. I already am trying to eat pretty clean but Paleo takes it even further with no dairy or grains. I was just curious as to what others thought of this…

Confusion about food database?

Which one do you prefer?
So I recently switched to almond milk but have heard good things of rice milk... so I was hoping to get a tally and remarks on which one yall prefer.

Food substitutions
I am wondering what your best substitutions are for food. As in, what healthy version do you make now instead of the old food you used to cook. My fave is I use mashed up cauliflower instead of rice. So when I make curry and stuff like that, I just put it over cauliflower now because it kinda looks and acts like rice but…

Do I really have to eat so much?
MFP suggests I have 1200 calories a day in order to lose 1.7lbs a week. However when I exercise it tells me that I earned extra calories from working out.

Too much Protein and Fiber??
Since I've been eating healthier, I've been buying and eating foods with more fiber. Fiber keeps you full, and (I thought) was good for you.
