College life...
Hello, all. I'm living away from home at college, where money is scarce and cafeterias don't offer many healthy options. I've been stuck eating the same things every day because the variety of healthy things is not that great. Is anyone else going through this, or does anyone have any tips? It's hard to diet in college…

Long Johns
DH wants Long John Silvers for dinner tonight. We buy the bucket of fish to go. If I pick the crust off can I count it as baked? or should I add a bit more to cover? I already know the hush puppies and other items are OUT, at least for me, but I'm thinking the naked fish should be ok. any info? thanks RJ

Trick for counting calories/recording food diary
