Roasting nuts at home?
Does anyone know if you can roast nuts like almonds at home and how to do it? I'm assuming that you can, but no clue how. I cant find dry roasted nuts that dont cost an arm and a leg, but I can find the raw ones and thought I'd try to do it at home to save $$. Thanks.

REAL caloric intake needs?
I googled how many calories I need to eat to go from my current weight to my goal weight, and found it was significantly more (500) than 1200. Why is it that MyFitnessPal suggests 1200? 500 extra calories makes a BIG difference!!! Who do I believe?
