I'm on day 10 and haven't weighed myself...I want to wait until 2 weeks are over for that. I just wanted to know if the site judged too low for my calories. I'll…

Humus
Made some tasty humus today! 1 can of chickpeas, 1 large clove of fresh garlic, 2 TBSP of olive oil, 1 large freshly squeezed lemon. The recipe called for sesame oil but I did not add that, did not want the extra fat. Blended it up and ate 1 helping with fresh carrots. Very nice!!!!

Advice on going organic?
I've been thinking a lot about going organic and cutting processed foods out of my diet. Yes, I eat healthfully, but as a college student, i tend to buy the cheapest stuff out there.

What is the scoop on Caffeine?
I'm a coffee drinker (okay, okay, addict).

Disturbed about no nutritional information
