Restaurant has NO nutritional information??
So last night I had dinner with an old friend I hadn't seen in awhile. It was last minute and I was at the gym when we talked, so I suggested Sonoma Chicken Coop since it's near my gym and that meant I could work out longer. I assumed that I would be able to get nutrional information...So I had Grilled Salmon…

I vowed I wouldn't "diet" because its never worked before and I've never really eaten terribly, I just overeat. So I'm work hard on my food…

Useful iPhone app
On my iPhone, I downloaded an app a while back that I found so useful and use costantly. It's called 'Units', and it's free. I suck at math and converting things from ounces to tablespoons, etc. Say you need to know how many tablespoons are in a 1/2 cup. With this, you just enter in .5 on the line for 'cup' and it…

Logic would stand to reason that if you ate the whole pizza, you're hitting that calorie…
