Too much protein?
I have begun the Body for Life program and it recommends protein shakes, bars, etc and eating 5 meals a day. I have actually lost weight - 2 pounds in two weeks! But when I enter my diet into the food tab, my proteins are way higher in comparison to my balance of carbs and fats. Is too much protein bad?

Foods to Beware!

Logging Food/Meals before eating...
So, I read somewhere on the forum that some of you add foods on the list before you eat? How true is this and how many of you do it?

diet soda

gonna beat the dead horse...
Okay. So. I know you're supposed to eat the exercise cals. I get it. I do. But just wanted to know what everyone else does and how they have fared with all this. In other words, do you eat all of them and still lose, eat all of them and not lose, or do you eat them and gain. I kinda want a consensus on what those who have…

Counting vegetables
Hi there, I am new to this site, but I was wondering do you include calories from vegetables in your daily allocation? I am confused as I have heard that the amount of energy it takes to eat vegetables is more than what is contained in them. But is this part of the BMR calculaton anyway? It's not really a big deal but it…

Vitamin Water Controversy
My family and co-workers have discouraged me from touching this product. My boss made a comment that it was #2 on a top five list for worst beverages on the market right now. Judging by the sugar I've seen on the nutrition label, I'm not too surprised should this be true. Any thoughts?

carbs in grapes...wow
I was surprised when I finished lunch and had all my food logged that I had almost reached my daily carb intake already and was still below 600 calories for the day. I thought how great I had done with a salad and grapes and a little health bar for lunch, but who would have thought that those little watery snacks had that…

ever since i've been young, my dad has pounded into our heads the importance of breakfast. So, i always eat some sort of fruit, veggies if i have eggs, a carb and a protein, water, milk, PB..... then i feel guilty for eating so many calories just for breakfast.

McCafe
Being a coffee fan, I love the new coffee products that McDonalds has recently started serving. I had to search, but found the nutritional value of everything--whole fat milk vs non fat milk.
