Two Questions
Okay, so I was having breakfast this morning while logging my food and trying to find answeres to these two questions to no avail: Sodium intake? I never hit my recommended daily amount - I might get to about half. Is that bad? Green Goodness - I tried it this morning and its FANTASTIC. For someone that hates veggies, its…

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! I was suprised to find that I was consuming about 1,500 calories a day with little to…

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. Then I took one package of low fat cream cheese (philadelphia of course) :) and cut up fresh chives (about 2…

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…

Bagel Pwnage!
Today, Phoenixflame slayed a mighty dragon! The questing beast known as Thomas Whole Wheat Bagel. On Saturdays, Lady Phoenixflame, a valiant knight on a quest for bodily redemption, allows herself a bit of otium by having a small donut, as she rides off to her laborious spin class right after. Yet today, the donuts seemed…

Fat-Free cheese
Yea! i heard about this mythological thing called fat-free cheese. I searched high and low in three different cities and couldn't find it at Safeway, Albertson's, Fred Meyers etc. I was about ready to give up but today we went to Whole Foods looking for other stuff and I found ONE brand. LifeTime. It comes in different…

Haven't felt like this in a while...advice?
I feel like I just got done with a binge! :sick: I've eaten 1800 calories today (have just under 2000 because of exercise). I know that the *old* me would feel nothing but guilt thinking that I seriously over ate! I'm don't feel "guilty" because I know I was suppose to eat those calories...but the "normal" feeling after a…

is it possible to drink too much tea?
Is six or seven cups of tea in one day too many? I don't think its really possible to drink too much tea, I mean its just water. It just feels kind of ridiculous.

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…

Sad Day
I went to my christmas dinner at college today and am now in 2000+ cals for the day. I recalculated and if I had been a little more careful during the day and a little less lax during the dinner, I could have easily stayed within my limits. lesson: calories are everywhere and if you are not careful the will be devoured by…

Salmon?
Got Salmon for dinner tonight. Seems to be some huge differences in fat grams in the food data base. Grilled it on the forman grill and only used pepper, garlic powder and dill. Had three ounces. Anyone know around how much fat 3oz of this would have? I have seen numbers from 4grams all the way up to 17? I know it's…

Tuna vs Chicken
Okay, so it is like this I can't stand tuna in any way shape or form. The other day I came across valley fresh 100% natural White chicken in water. I can deal with chicken and I made a small sandwich today and that filled me up and I thought it wouldn't. The one I had has no preservatives, 97% fat free, natural sea salt…

Cereal...
I have a question. Im in LOVE with sugar cereal. My favorite is Reese's cup puffs. I would like to cut back on this. If I don't have sugar cereal I eat like crispex or chereos (sp) with sugar. I just can't get use to the taste with no sugar. So far I have kicked my tea habit and somewhat kicked my chocolate habit. I have…

Chicken vs Shredded Beef?
Okay... I need help guys. On my exercise days where I have enough calories to treat myself I would like to eat a Chimichanga. I used to order a shredded beef, then I was told that chicken is better... but lately with other meals I've noticed that lean beef is actually less calories than chicken in most cases. So... Chicken…

BULK SECTION IN SUPERMARKET
I'm a bit embarrassed but I was walking around the organic bulk section/tubs in my local supermarket and half the stuff was foreign to me. What are all those items that are sold in the bins used for ? I know the basics such as lentils, flour, nuts, trail mix, pretzels etc. But, I mean I saw many other things like soy…

Is it bad to eat right after working out?
I heard that to maximize weight loss, you should wait a few hours after working out before eating (I assume this doesn't mean 'don't eat all day,' just 'don't eat right after working out'). Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks!
