calories or fat?
So in the past I have always looked at fat grams when deciding how bad a food is. But everything I read seems to focus on calories. Carbs is also a big thing, but that just confuses me beyond belief so I am trying to start small and understand fat vs. calories. So I've already entered my lunch in my diary today since I…

What healthier foods do you love???
We talk a lot about the foods we used to eat and love but can't have often anymore. I was wondering what healthier foods you LOVE now and are staples in your diet that you had never even considered in the past? Maybe it will help those new to this lifestyle be daring enough to try these things. I would say that hummus is a…

Can't find the post on metabolic rate and GI/GL
I think it was here that I read it, or maybe on another board elsewhere, but I read a post about Glycemic load vs. counting calories and have a question. Does anyone know how the "resistant starches" affect glycemic load? For example, a potato may be high in GI but low in GL, because it's a "resistant starch" - stays in…

Snacks on the go...
Anyone have any suggestions for good healthy snacks/meals on the go? I am a commuter student in college, and I sometimes will spend all day (9am-6pm) on campus. I'm on your typical college budget and hate to buy food on campus, even if it's healthy (which normally it isn't). I know fruit is always a good option, but I'm…

Thats how many calories you are eating each day to maintain that weight. If you are modertely active multiply by 12,and maybe a…

I'd love to NOT be hungry!!!
I see alot of posts of people saying they are not hungry & can't eat all of their calories... I wish I had that problem. When I started watching what I'm eating, I adjusted what I was eating.

So many cereals!? What's the best?
Grocery store shopping list is being prepared for the weekend... I usually don't eat cereal, but thought maybe I'd try some. I'm getting tired of my plain oatmeal with unsweetened applesauce. :grumble: What's the best bet? I used to love honey nut cheerios, but I'm sure there's too much sugar in them. I've tried the Kashi…

Kids and Diets?????
I was a chubby preteen. I guess around 10 or so I chunked up. My son is almost 10 and he has chunked up a bit. He has always grown that way...chunked up and then sprouted in height. Now that he is close to the age that I was when the chunks came and didn't leave, I am a bit concerned. He asked me the other day if he was…

Best way to get back on track when you blow it....
Was out of town at a restaurant I wasn't familiar with and thought I'd made a fairly decent choice, but when I got back home and checked the restaurant menu on the internet, man did I blow it. It threw me so far over my calories for the day it wasn't even funny. I was caught off guard by that. So that led me to thinking…

Newbie Question
I have been using this for about three days now and I find it relatively impossible to eat all the calories I am allowed. As I am very weighty I get a large allowance and as I am moving around like 200% more than I used to I am burning up between 400-900 per day(might not sound a lot, but it's more than I used to! :wink: )…
