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…

How many calories would you guess was in this pie?
It was a girl's birthday at work today and she brought this wonderful pie and I had slice but now I need to log it and have no clue if there is anything similar out there. It had a shortbread crust about 1/4 inch thick, a small layer of cherries and meringue (sp?) on top about an inch high. Also, have any of you ever had a…

Favorite Low Calorie Cereals
I am looking for some low calorie cereal (1 cup cereal= 120 calories or less without milk) options. I already love Special K cereal with strawberries and I tried the Kashi 7 whole grain cereal. I particularly love cereals that go great with fruit. What are some other good ones?

Interesting email I recieved
EATING FRUIT We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths.. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.. What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.…

Breakfast
I need to find something for breakfast. I was trying these protein shakes that my doc gave me, but honestly, I cannot force myself to drink them...they are horrible. 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…

Dry Mouth
I drink a good amount of water on daily basis so I can't uderstand why I can't seem to shake the "dry mouth" affect. I was searching online but all they talk about is this being a result of medicaitons, dehydration and/or nerve damage. I don't have any of these problems so I'm at a lost. Does anyone else have this problem?…

Low Cal Soup
I wanted to share a gem I found recently :) I LOVE miso soup. For those of you that may not know, It's an asian soup that is made from tofu and soybean paste. It may sound gross, but it's uber yummy. It reminds me of chicken broth, only better. I found a packet of instant miso soup in the grocery store. It's only 35…

Anyone take b12 with lipotropic?

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…

Any Venison Eaters Out There?
My husband and his family are avid hunters. This year we ended up with 10 deer, divided among 4 families. Needless to say, our freezer is full of venison. I know the meat is very lean, and I'm ok with logging the roasts/chops/etc. I'm just not sure how to log the processed stuff (snack sticks, sausage, hamburger). Would it…

Flax Seed: The Low Carb Whole Grain
Flax seed is something that is great for you, but few people incorporate it into their diets. My husband and I will add it to smoothies (can't taste it), yogurt and soups, along with other foods. It helps keep you full and helps your system stay regular. Here is an article about Flax Seed. You can get it at health food…

Freezing soup....question
I made a batch of Bear Creek soup the other day and being that we're not eating like we used to - I don't want to chuck it so I was thinking of freezing it as I've heard some on hear say they do. I don't have enough bowls with lids to freeze, would measuring it into a freezer bag be acceptable?

Carbs and Work outs
I've noticed that i've been over in my carbs. I eat more high carb foods on days that i run. And in looking at the exercise log, it looks like they only account for the calories burned, not carbs. As a result, when i eat more to account for my calories burnt exercising, it looks like i'm within the calorie range, but not…
