all calories created equal?
I have been doing well with not going over my cals. Before I started MFP I was careful about what I ate. Which I always felt restricted and ended up binging on the wrong things anyway. But since starting MFP I feel more freedom about what I eat, I can have some sugar and treats, I just have to stay in my cals. But I am…

A great read for those looking for fat loss.
I decided to post this as it seems to answer many of the questions that are regularly posted on this message board. As well, it seems to be one of the best guides for beginners wishing to lose fat. It's a direct copy/paste from the introductory sections at the John Stone Forum. Credit goes to a guy named "Foley." It's long…

Oh Bob's sweet mints
Bob betrayed me today- I snacked on a few of those wonderfully sweet, soft, and innocent mints. Then I had a few more of those scrumptious treats - love the way they dissolve in my mouth - so satisfying, so yummy.

D'Angelos chicken caesar wrap
I had about 1200 calories left at dinnertime tonight, so I thought Id go out for a chicken caesar wrap. I figured it to be about 400 to 500 calories. Holy Moly, over 800!! 47 grams of fat... 2234 mg of sodium. I, literally, would have been better off eating a big mac at 540 calories and 30-something grams of fat. Of course…

A little help- Banks I have read your post- still wary....
A little help si vous plait. I have been having trouble seeing much movement at all on the scale. I track my food and exercise and dont eat below 1200. For example- yesterday I was at 1700 total to eat- 1200 plus burned 567. But that seemed like a lot of calories to me. I ate them but felt weird doing it. It was actually a…

Do you all think…

Negative Calorie Foods
Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories food actually contains! Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to use. In other words, the body has to work hard in order to extract calories from these foods. Even though a food may contain equal amount of calories, much…

Indulgence on the go
So I have recently discovered Trader Joe's 100 calorie chocolate bars. They come in dark and milk chocolate and are pretty inexpensive ($1.99 for 6-.63 oz. bars). They're a fantastic treat for when I crave something chocolatey and the dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants so it's guilt-free! Does anyone else have some…
