Fat Tuesday anyone?
I can't believe it's tomorrow already. I had no clue until my boyfriend saw a sign on a bakery the other day about punchkies (I have no idea how to spell it). I personally don't really like them....too gross and I honestly don't think the taste it worth all that fat and calories. I'm not even big on doughnuts....but I do…

Target Calories for Breakfast
There's been a lot of talk about breakfast lately, so hopefully some of you have ideas. Is there a min recommended number of calories for breakfast to kickstart your body into gear? I ask because I'm trying to net 1,200 calories a day, after counting exercise. My breakfasts though - which I eat every day within about 30…

Mega Green Tea
anyone take any appetite suppressor? I was using slim Quick which seemed to do the job. Gave me a bit more energy with having to chug down a rockstar. I just pick up the mega Green Tea which only has 50mg of caffeine and whatever is in the 'secret' blend. I work very long days... between working 6-days a week, master's…

Having trouble with portion sizes
Ok so as yall know I have been here a few weeks (Jan 21) and have had quite a few post asking questions, celebrating weight loss, crying over weight gain, injuries and trying to give support. I have a question about portion size. I eat 5-7 meals a day. I am rarely over my calories. At dinner sometimes I feel like the…

Chocolate
At the end of everyday I like to have a little piece of chocolate. It feels like a nice reward for getting through another day of fitness and I only ever eat it if I have enough calories and fat grams left. I've been eating these amazing dark chocolate squares I got from a company basket but they are almost gone. I was…

Pinata apples?
Anyone else tried these? I got them at the whole foods market in Philly a few days ago, and OMG they're amazing! They call them pinata apples because they taste like they're filled with candy. So sweet! However, for the life of me I can't find nutritionals for them ANYWHERE. It doesn't help that they're HUGE! If anyone…

Red potatoes
How big is a red potato supposed to be? Because I had a couple with dinner, and the database says about 100 cals for one. But these were pretty small, a little smaller than the head of a normal lightbulb. Is that right?

Okay, I guess...
Wekll, today was the day I have been dreading for a week! All of my extended family met at TGI Fridays for a going away party for my Uncle. I had been dreading what I was going to order the whole week, since TGI Friday's does not post their nutrition stats! After agonizing over the menu, I ordered a chicken caesar salad.…

Optimum 100% Whey Powder--any good?
So, I've come to the conclusion I don't really care about raw pounds anymore. I care more about body composition. Right now, my body fat is too high, even though (by most standards) I'm no longer overweight. So I want to gain more lean muscle and burn more fat. Yes, I mix cardio and strength. I'm considering adding a…

Small changes make a big difference
I love food. I always have and I always will. A large part of it I owe to my mother being a fabulous cook! She would make such a variety of foods that I grew up with an open mind when it came to ethnic cuisine. I can still enjoy these amazing foods. I have just learned to think differently about it all. I love Mexican…

FIBER
Probably another daft question, but, is it bad to go over on your fiber? I've gone over by 5g today, not a huge amount I know but if it has adverse affects I'd rather know so as not to do it on a regular basis. TIA:flowerforyou:

Detour Bar Recall ???
Does anyone eat Detour Bars. I often rant about them and how much I enjoy them. This week I have noticed that there are none on the shelves of grocery stores, drug stores, Wal Mart or Sam's. I guess the peanuts in them are part of the recall. I am in the Birmingham, AL area and wondering if anyone else knows about this
