This Might Be a Home Brewing Question
I’d like to try my hand at making kvas, a (mostly) nonalcoholic fermented drink made from water, nearly burnt rye bread, raisins, yeast and a shedload of sugar. Supposedly the yeast eats the sugar. End result is a carbonated beverage, vaguely akin to a dark rich root beer. Anyone care to take a stab at how many calories…

Diary/Database Frustration/Fail. Have you had one yet?
I decided to whip up something simple tonight. I couldn't decide if I wanted split peas or lentils. I made an easy decision; both! They cook for different amounts of time, but that's easy to manage. I started with a mirepoix and added mushrooms and garlic. When the garlic just started to be aromatic, I added enough water…

How to track healthy fats
As I understand it, healthy fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats for which MFP does not provide a goal. If Total Fats = Saturated Fats + Trans Fats + Mono + Poly, then it seems to me that my my consumption (and goal) of Mono and Poly should be: Total Fats - Saturated-Trans Fats. When I look at today's diary it…

Question about food variety and nutrition
So we're supposed to mix up our foods, not always just eat the same thing all the time, in order to make sure we're covering all of our needs. My question is...Over what time period? Can I safely eat the same exact meal for a week straight, then eat a different meal for a week straight, so on so forth? It's a "varied"…

Before & After Drinking More Water: Your Experiences?
One core issue I've dealt with my entire life (since pre-school, even) is not drinking enough water. I was raised on Diet Dr. Pepper from as young as I can remember. I had a couple of years as a teen where I drank probably less than five bottles of water for the entire year. I know I can't be the only one in this boat of…

WINTER STORM! aka Time to Panic
With much of the U.S. dealing with a winter storm and brutal cold this week, it's been funny to watch both the local and national news. There are inevitably stories about people stocking up at grocery stores. Do you stock up on any food/supplies/liquor when the news people tell you that you must? If so, what do you get? I…

MFP Fat Recommedation
Hello everyone. I have rejoined MFP after a two year or so hiatus. While setting up my nutrient goals, I noticed that MFP defaults to a higher saturated fat level over monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat.

Fatty acids, Omega 3-6-9
Decided to take nutrition more seriously and add a fish oil supplement since I dont eat fish. I noticed a lot of people talk about omega 3 in fitness, recomminding roughly 3g combined EPA and DHA, but not a lot of talk about omega 6 and omega 9, other than 6 is also essential, some mentioning a 5:1 ratio roughly between 3…

I'm addicted to fast food
Hi all, Over the last few years I have gained a silly amount of weight, roughly 7 stone. Some of this was due to medication and illness but a HUGE part of it is due to my addiction to fast food and full fate coca-cola.

Magnesium
The minerals I care most about logging are potassium and Magnesium. I wish there was an option on here for adding magnesium, it drives me nuts having to look things up twice, once to log it and once on google to get the stats for magnesium in my good items.
