New product recommendations!
1. Special K2O. I was initially skeptical... as like many of you, I prefer not to add anything to my water. But this 30 calorie packet contains 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber!

Throw in a hour or two work out and I'm trying to shove 800-1200 cals down my throat after the…

Yikes over by 253!
OK, I just have to say (it's not an excuse) every time I'm at my parents I over eat! I think it's the environment I was used to growing up-just overeating here.

I am making catfish nuggets. I wet them w/water & coat them in a mixture that is 30 cals per tbsp, then I fry them in canola oil. How do I figure out how many calories they are. I can't possibly know how much of the oil I am actually consuming, or how much of the fry mix. :indifferent:
