What would you order for brunch?
I'm meeting my parents for brunch at one of my fav places. The menu isn't exactly tFP friendly, but it's so delicious. I don't want to have a cheat day. (I'll only eat half of the plate to help with the cals too.) I was thinking about getting the Seafood Joe with just egg whites and lobster sauce on the side? Do you think…

After I found the 50 calorie biscuits, I have gone biscuit happy, but people, the possibilities are endless!

Soy Burgers = Again!
Do you know those "fake" soy burgers you get at the local gas station? I LOVE them. They also sell those in the cafeteria at the schools. Everyone thinks they are gross. Those are the ones i'm looking for. Does anyone know if those are actually the healthy burgers? I know soy is in general, but I'm talking about the ones…

Wet Burritos
Apparently they are a "michigan" thing.. Anyways- had one for dinner tonight (had plenty of calories left to use-- so thought i'd go enjoy one).. but the restaraunt (Taco BOY) didn't have nutritional info on any of their food-- so i thought i'd google calories for a wet burrito. All I could find were recipes- and ones that…

Odd question.
So when I was in my undergrad, my roommate was doing weight watchers. She told me, that when people lose weight, they lose if from the top down. Like...they lose around their waist, then hips, then thighs and legs. Is this true? Because honestly, I lost an inch around my waist, but nothing on my legs yet...which is where I…

What's a Serving Size?
Every day, we are faced with many different sources of nutrition from which to choose. Some nutrition experts tell us to base our choices on a food pyramid, some use a point system and others recommend use of prepackaged meals. Wouldn’t it be healthier to learn how to eat regular foods and watch our portion sizes? Learning…

Where can I find a "meal" program to fit MFP????
I'm trying to spread my caloric intake out. But, I need to also know what is a healthy balanced meal. I don't really like meat. I avoid it. The only meat I will eat is one of those slivery hamburgers in a happy meal and McDonalds. I don't eat seafood, chicken, red meat...nothing......I love veggies, but they don't fill me…

Gotta try this great health food bar!
The Clif Mojo Mountain Mix bar is my all time favorite snack. They contain raisins, nuts, chocolate chips and have the consistency of a rice krispies treat. The salty sweet combination is totally different and very satisfying. There are other varieties available but the Mountain Mix flavor is the best. I eat one every day.

Beyond that, I take my one-a-day multi-vitamin (Men's Health Formula) to make sure my nutritional needs are met, and for prostate…

I have one "cheat day" a month where I get to eat some "bad stuff" (within reason of course). When it comes time to "pick my poison" I usually eat ice cream or chocolate.

Sushi
Sushi has got to be the greatest diet food ever. High in iron, potassium, fiber, and pretty much every other healthy thing you could look for. My friends and I went out for dinner this evening and I was terrified about my calorie count, and it turns out that despite having 2 6-piece sushi rolls, a salad with ginger…

will this affect me?
To make a long story short, the past 2 days have not been so good for me. Both days I had a binge on foods that are healthier than most (dark c.c. cookies, nothing hydrogenated), but still they were 150 cals. each. So the first day was ok because I made up the binge in exercising it off. The second day was worse. I started…
