Whey Protein Powder
Any recommendations? I have been using the Body Fortress brand from Walmart, but my buddy told me to watch out for the cheaper brands. I guess since they're not regulated by the FDA, they can't put whatever they want on the nutrition label...true or not. I just got back from Complete Nutrition. Of course, the guy there…

Diet Aids?
I was just curious to see if anyone is taking a diet aid in their weight loss efforts? Like slim quick or stackers? I know these items are no monitored by the FDA, like vitamins, and they should not be taken with out consulting a doctor first. I also know they have many "Filler" ingredients that can counter act…

Cafeteria Veggie Burger; should I count it like this?
I got a veggie burger from the cafeteria, but instead of a bun I had it on two pieces of wheat bread. It was a pretty average looking veggie burger. I see that MFP has an entry for a Burger King cheeseless/mayoless veggie burger. Would this most likely be close to my veggie burger? I just put tomatoes, onions, cucumber,…

casein protein powder
Supplementing with Whey protein powder is very poprular and I do it myself. I read an article that casein protein powder is also a good idea when doing long hard cardio and/or weight training...they say take it before going to bed because it is a slow acting protein that will feed the body slowly whereas whey is quick…

How about for children?
I was wondering if anyone is aware of a site that you can track this sort of thing for children. I certainly do not mean in a "I want to watch their weight" way, in fact I think it would be helpful for me to have a tool to make sure they are eating enough of the proper foods for their age groups... does such a thing exist?

I'm not buying the daily totals
Today, being Friday, I ate 1724 calories. I know I need 1800 to maintain my weight without exercise. Well when I end the day, it says i'd be almost a pound over what i weigh now if I kept this up for 5 weeks (most of my days are around 1200 calories). How can I eat 75 calories a day less and weigh more?
