Subway is calling to me....
I have the "5! 5 dollar footlong!" song playing over and over in my head with the Godzilla commercial visual. It's like when a song gets stuck looping through your brain except with video, lol. I think I may have to indulge for dinner and save half for tomorrow's lunch! *twisting own arm* This brings me a subject I was…

Osteoporosis and Calcium/Vitamin D
I recently had a bone scan and was told that I have osteopenia-which is decreased bone density, just not quite as bad as full blown osteoporosis.

Roasted Veggies
Does anyone know how to calculate calories when you roast veggies with olive oil?

Liquid ounces versus solid ounces
Hi, Everyone! :happy: Okay, I need some general guidance about liquid ounces versus solid ounces. I've been seeing some food entries that allow you to put in ounces. Now, I know that a 3 ounce piece of chicken, beef or other easy to sight meat is about the size of a deck of cards. But, what about loose meats--like the ones…
