When did all this start about HFCS?
It seems like every few months there some food or food process or food additive that is being blamed for everything from cancer to skin allergies. Some of it true, some of it strikes me as being alarmist and a way to manipulate the public. (but that's another topic) I've never heard a word about High Fructose Corn Syrup…

Quesiton
OK! I've read all the posts about eating calories and I understand why. But, my BMI is set already at 1800 calories. (I'm 5'10" and weight 165, healthy range). I'm a triathlete and I train a lot! But, that seems like a ridiculous amount of food to be eating. Only if I do a light exercise, I still am burning anywhere from…

Hi I'm new!
I've been on here for almost a week now and I feel great! :smooched: I was wondering. When you guys exercise and get that "extra allowed calories" do you use them. Or do you just stay within your original calorie goal for that day? I don't know if its better to use them or better to ignore them. Advice is greatly…

Movie theater popcorn
Okay I know it is horrible for you, but my husband and I share a large tub once a week. The theater here is owned by the city and the members of the community take turns working to keep the cost down. The theater is almost always full. They run shows Friday thru Monday, and Monday night is Buck night where everybody gets…

Anyway, my question to all of you vegetarians or vegans is how do you stay on track and not eat junk. I'm the only one in my house dedicated to this change and catch a lot of jokes from family about it. Not…

Sugar goal
Why is the daily sugar allowance so low? I just started tracking today, and my allowance is 24. If you drink one glass of skim milk and eat one banana in a day, you've gone over. I ate 90 grams of sugar today, and the only things I had with any added sugar were a corn muffin and a tablespoon of ketchup. It seems that this…

BMR rate less than my recommended total amount
According to the BMR calculator, my BMR is 1,517 calories/day, but on this site, my recommended daily total in order to lose 1lb a week is 1,400. Is it supposed to be like that? It seems kind of off to me.
