I don't even fell that full, but I guess it all adds up because…

Wrong choice
I think I have been cheating myself and possibly throwing my actual calorie count off. I am a coffee drinker but I drink my coffee with about a Tbsp of 2% milk and about 3 tsp of sugar. Well, rather than go through the entire database looking for exact description I chose coffee with cream and than added sugar on the side.…

What I found: 1 GRAM per day more sodium for every hour of exercise that you sweat (not just a drop on…

Just thought this was interesting. I hate when I see moms giving their kids those "fruit" chewys. 1 Chicken Nuggets Any fast food that's breaded and fried is bursting with fat. Nuggets and their dipping sauces also have a lot of sodium, which can contribute to high blood pressure in adults. Don't let your child's taste…
