?? about pasta portions
Last night I made some whole wheat fettucine for dinner. The serving size said "2 oz. dry". Does anyone have an idea of what that comes out to be volume-wise once it's cooked? I don't have a good idea of what that would be and since I never make just 2 oz. (I have a family to cook for!), it's hard to know just how much I…

EGGS....

OK- so I have 332 cals left to go but have gone over 7 grams of fat. I am pretty full right now, should I let it just go and sign off or the day or should I try to eat something? And if I should eat, what can I eat with 0 fat grams? Any ideas?

I finally made my own Turkey Egg/Spring Rolls!
I read the recipe months ago for home made turkey rolls but never got around to making them. Since I've been eating WAAAAAYYYY too many real egg rolls lately, I figured I better find an alternative, so I made my own. I used turkey burgers chopped up (the only turkey I had in the house), a little soy sauce, some red and…

substitute for ice cream
I LOVE ice cream, and while its totally fine in moderation, I found I was eating it almost every night (just 1/2 a cup, but still). So I decided to switch to frozen jello sugar free pudding snacks, and they are amazing! They freeze a little harder than ice cream, so it is a lot slower eating one, and I feel like I'm…

Thing is, they're really good for you (I know, go figure). They only have 100 calories, 8 carbs, 2g fat, and 15g protein. Anyone have any ideas for…

It reminds me of chicken broth, only better. I found a packet of instant miso soup in the grocery store. It's only 35…

3, 2, 1.
I have added potassium to my daily goals because I know it is something that I do not eat much of at all. My counter says I should have 3,500 per day. I have yet to get even 10% of the way there since I added it and so far today I have had none. Is this because most people do not include it when they upload foods into the…
