another protein question-
If the body can only handle 20 g protein at a time, how long is that for? In other words, if I eat a snack with 20 g. protien, can I have more protein like 2-3 hrs later?

Little spoons....
How I :heart: thee. So does anyone else use little spoons to eat their desserts??? My boyfriend thinks I'm a nut because I absolutely adore them. It takes me longer to eat my little portions of heaven, so I feel like I am getting more and it is very satisfying. My grandmother got me hooked, by giving me the baby spoon she…

Confessions of a Soy basher
I haven't been too shy about jumping on a thread about soy and sharing my opinion that soy isn't for men. My opinion was/is based on articles I have read that the phytoestrogens in soy could lower testosterone and boost estrogen. Both bad and scary things for men. Standing in line at the check out yesterday, the one and…

Pink, Blue, Yellow or Green?
I have to use one of them, I've tried to do without, but I can't. I don't feel comfortable using the pink packets anymore,:sick: and even less the blue. :noway: I was using the yellow, and have just tried the green. I've heard bad things about all of them, except the new green one. But of course all things "diet" are…

Yummy finds and great info
All-Bran Rolled Fiber Wafers - In both Strawberry and Chocolate, these things look like those crazy cereal straw thingees Kellogg makes. In fact, we're pretty sure these ARE cereal straws, just with added fiber and a "healthy" new spin. Each 3-wafer serving has 130 calories, 4g fat, 28g carbs, 10g fiber, and 2g protein…

Caramel Popcorn/Kettlecorn Craving
I made a little snack tonight that reminded me of caramel popcorn...it was salty/sweet (not as crunchy). I might fill a craving though. It's really simple. I bought corn meal mush (aka Polenta) and sliced it into 3 slices that equaled about an inch total (this is 3 oz of cornmeal). I pan-fried it with non-stick spray until…

Soy milk..
I have recently started using light soy milk because we are not big milk fans and with only me and my husband, even quart spoils before we use it. The soy milk lasts for at least a month, and I actually don't mind the taste. My question is...is the soy milk considered one of my daily dairy servings? Or is it a protein. I'm…

Can't believe it's not butter - spray
I bought this spray because it has no calories and is better for you then the butter and stuff. But my question is if I use a lot of sprays will it add up to more calories or can I use as much as I want. It's good, but I want to make sure I don't over use it. Thanks:flowerforyou:

Almond milk
OK, so it's not a new food - I've been hearing all about it on forums like this for a few years now. I finally saw it in the store today and bought some (natural vanilla flavor) I've never really cared for soy milk and this kinda reminds me of it - BUT... there's just something about it that keeps making me want more! I…

Too much protein? Fiber??
Every day, I've gone over my protein and fiber goals. Do you suppose that's a bad thing?? I just can't figure it out...I have some type of lean meat in my lunches and dinners, and occasionally, a light string cheese as a snack, but I can't figure out what I can cut! Suggestions?

Rhodiola Rosea
I used to take rhodiola for increased focus and energy throughout the day a while ago. This morning, I found I still had some in a blister pack. It said on the back to take 1-2 pills before physical activities. I'd never taken it before working out, but my boyfriend has, so I thought I'd try it. 1 hour, 20 minutes and 1069…
