I decided today while I was at Chili's (ordering off of the Guiltless Menu, of course!) that I deserved a Margarita, so I got one of their Presidente Margaritas- anyone have any idea how many calories are in one? It's not listed on their website, and for now I just used a generic Margarita in my food diary, but I'd like to…

Weight or cups?
Today I got black beans from my school cafeteria. I measured out half a cup (back in my room). Just for giggles, I weighed it.

Can We Talk About that Magic 1200 Number?
I am having a little trouble with the magic 1,200 calories being the minimum for everyone. On days that I don't exercise, I feel like I've over-eaten if I eat 1,200 calories. Is this really the number for everyone, or is it an average? Could some people really be more like 1,000 calorie minimum metabolisms and others be…
