Stevia! The "new" sweetner
So I just thought I would share my ideas about the plant based sweetener called Stevia. I just recently discovered Stevia as a great sweetener in my Earl Grey Tea. I love having a bit of sweetness in my tea, but I always feel regret when I use Splenda or asparatame. My gut tells me that both of these unnatural sweeteners…

Peanuts
Ok this is probably a stupid question, but I bought some unsalted in-shell peanuts the other day. I got them in bulk (wrote down the cals/carbs/fats/proteins) but my question is how many peanuts are in a half a cup? Does that mean 1/2 cup in the shell or 1/2 cup once I break them out? lol...what a silly question but I…

Eating too few calories.
I'm a full-time student, and on days when I'm in class all day, I tend to not eat much and just drink coffee and/or water, because I don't have the time to find real food. This means that when I get home at night, and I've had my dinner, I'm still short 300+ calories (of my 1200 calories/day goal). What should I do at…

yogurt question
Ok--ignorant question here: I'm sort of new to yogurt eating-I never cared much for it in the past so that's why I don't know the answer to this: When I open the containers of yogurt, there is often a bunch of liquid on the top. A couple of tablespoons maybe? I have been pouring it out figuring it's condensation or…
