sodium conversion question
I'm trying to keep track of my sodium in take on this site. I find this very difficult to do as a lot of the foods I am entering don't seem to have much sodium in them even though I know that there should be loads. My question is - when people enter foods are they entering the sodium in grams or milligrams? This site…

Freezing food
I am NOT a morning person! Its awful. So needless to say waking up early just to cook probably isn't going to happen. I was wondering if I scrambled eggs, wrapped them in a whole wheat tortilla with salsa, and then froze it inside foil if that would keep well. What do y'all think? I'm challenging myself to eat only fresh,…

Sesame Oil
We always hear about olive oil being the best oil and whatnot ... but I have some sesame oil and was wondering if that ranked up there with the other healthy fats. I know sesame is pretty good for you if you're not allergic. Does anyone know anything about sesame oil?

Using saved calories?
When I was on weight watchers, we were given saved "extra calories" to use sometime in the week. I'm wondering if that works here? For example, I'm really good the week before, and the first part of this week. But the second part, I spend with friends, and when you're not at home making and weighing your own food, there's…

100 calorie creme brulee
ok so its actually 104 calories but 100 cal sounds so much snazzier. Here's another one from the hungry girl cookbook and it turned out great. I wouldn't go comparing it to restaurant quality because you can only cut so much fat and calories out of something before you notice a difference in taste. But if you want a nice…

Eating out...?
Ok, so since I started dieting and excersising, I've been EXTREMELY strict on what I eat and don't eat. If there's something that I love, but I know it's not healthy, I tell myself, "No, it's not good for you." But now since I havn't had those certain foods in a so long, I'm getting monster cravings for them!! I'm afraid…
