90 calorie muffins--true?
So, I was talking with my caf's manager for a class project. After I'd asked her what I needed, we just chatted about the food. I asked if they'd be posting nutritional contents for their breads and sweets table. She goes "Yeah, I don't think people have realized the thing about the muffins yet." "Muffins?" "The fat-free…

Weight Watchers dessert snack cakes
I have realized something. Why would I waste my time eating a Weight Watchers 90 calorie dessert cake--dry, prepackaged, and brimming with the scrapings of a chemistry set--when I can have a made-from-scratch mini donut at my school's cafeteria? I found out that the calorie content of a Krispie Kreme mini is between 75-90…

Anyone tried the Cottage cheese diet?
I used it as a quick fix last year, lost a lot of weight to fit into the little black dress. I guess it works coz its low carb, first couple of days are easy but then it gets really hard- you crave anything and everything!!

I was SHOCKED!
I have to say that My Fitness Pal really opened my eyes lately. I am trying to get back to my pre-college weight. I have been recording EVERYTHING I put in my mouth (yes, even those tiny bites off my sisters plate) and boy does it add up!

Asparagus rolls ups
I just tried a new recipe and tweaked it to make it a little healthier, and it was SO good, so I thought I would share. I took asparagus and cooked them for 6 minutes in a frying pan with a little bit of water.

Allotting your nutrition
Hey all: I am trying to take the high road, so I would like to know how you "losers" split your nutrition up between the calories. I mean, it's not too tough to stay inside of my calorie allowance, but I would like to start making healthful choices beyond the calories that are in any given portion. Any websites or easy…

Sugar?
According to my Food Diary, I am WAY over my recommended amount of sugar, consistently. Not just a little bit, we're talking at least 25 grams here. I know I could cut back and not have that 100 calorie cookie pack as my after dinner snack, but that's really the only sugar I see that could be taken out. The rest of it is…

is it possible to drink too much tea?

For Those Finding it Hard to Drink Water
This has been my savior. I pulled it out of DH's storage tub (he apparently used it when he used to be an MA instructor) and it is the ONLY way I have ever gotten myself to drink 64oz in a day. Its easy, portable and the best part for me is that I don't have to remember how much I've had. There is a line on the top that…
