Did I really cut the sodium?
I'm trying to make more low sodium meals and I experimented a bit with chicken fajitas last night. I used a packet of the fajitas seasoning, but only cooked the veggies in the fajitas seasoning (and ended up only about half of the seasoning). I grilled the chicken plain and then added the veggies cooked in the seasoning to…

Frustration!
So, I normally have a 6" turkey sub from blimpies with lettuce and tomato, and some hot sauce. Trying to find nutritional information for this has been next to impossible. If you go to the blimpie website they don't have the information listed, claiming that NY statutes are the reason. The restraunt doesn't have the…

What a difference logging in food makes
I started this back in Jan. I was exercising and logging in my food religiously. I lost 4 lbs and a few inches, which is great!

Is corn bad?
I know corn isn't considered one of the most nutritious veggies, but should it be avoided? I love corn and tonight was the first time in a long time that I have eaten it because for some reason I have it pounded in my head that I shouldn't. What are your thoughts?

Healthiest alcoholic beverages
Just curious, what are the healthiest alcoholic beverages that you all know of? So far I was delighted to find out that a martini made with gin and vermouth (sans olive) is a mere 90 calories, and a gin+tonic comes out to about ~175. I normally don't drink very much when I go out, but I remember seeing some horror stories…

More FiBER Pleeze
Hi Guys, :smokin: Hello from the Virgin Islands. I've been with MFP for just over a week and I'm happy to be a part of this community. :smile: One thing that I'd like to discuss is FIBER. For my 1200 calorie diet, MFP suggests only 14 grams of fiber. :indifferent: That is just too low, to be healthy. Fiber is essential to…

Tea - water or no?
I habitually drink 5-10 cups of green tea a day, every day. Now, I know caffiene can have diuretic effects which means it will actually dehydrate me if I have enough. However I still consume a large amount of water with every cup. So, do I count this in my 8 8fl oz glasses of water?

Food myths?
Here are some things I've heard about some specific foods in relation to losing weight: 1) Your body burns more calories trying to digest celery and iceberg lettuce than they actually contain, so eating them will actually cause you to lose weight. 2) Hot sauce, hot peppers, vinegar, and caffeine will help speed up your…
