Ugh ... I ate an expired cereal bar.
So, I was delighted that the convenience store in my office had re-stocked the Milk & Cereal Bars in Cocoa Puffs! Unfortunately, I had already scarfed it down before I noticed the expiration date...

Boston Market
We're having Boston Market for dinner tonight and I noticed on the nutritional info they have 1/4 chicken white with and without skin. Does this just mean that you pull the skin off and eat the chicken, or do they actually serve an option without skin? My boyfriend worked there in high school and he says no, they don't…

low cal/no fat vs. potentially harmful chemicals
So I've just started my diet and shopped for low cal/no fat items. I was eating my Dannon Light & Fit - cherry yogurt and read the ingredients. To my shock there is aspartame AND sucralose in it, both of which I have heard and read are harmful for you. So which is more harmful?? The fat and calories or the chemicals? Would…

8 cups a day...
It doesn't seem right that everyone should drink 8 cups of water a day. I seriously don't think 8 cups is good for both a tiny 4'11" person AND a 6'5" person. That seems silly! Shouldn't how much water we drink depend on our height, weight and activity level? Does anyone know of a formula that takes these factors into…
