How Do You Handle Businesses Without Nutritional Info Readily Available?
I recently ordered a coffee and a small breakfast from Door Dash from a local coffee shop here and found that they don't have nutritional information available on their website. While it isn't going to "break the bank" or anything calorie wise, I still like logging my foods. This is a locally owned business so I'm not…

Has anyone tried Freshly?
I did a search but the most recent posts I could find were years old. I keep debating trying this service out. I live alone and I hate cooking for one. If I make a traditional recipe I have to eat it for many meals in a row so the leftovers don't go bad, plus the time and effort cooking and cleaning up the cooking mess…

Milkshake or smoothie recipe using Atkins Dark Chocolate Royale protein shake?
I've been enjoying these Atkins Dark Chocolate Royale protein shake every couple of days - they fit my calorie goals and help me get protein. I'm wondering if I can make a 'real' milkshake out of them by throwing it in a blender with some ice? Is that enough or do I need to add some low fat milk? A banana? Anything I add…

Breakfast Meat
I usually eat 2 eggs/ 1 egg white omelet every morning with either bacon or canadian bacon.

Does anyone know if nutritional values which state "when cooked according to instructions" - include the oil recommended in the cooking instructions? I've never thought about it before and rarely use the amount of oil recommended so wonder if I'm logging it wrong.

Protein after exercise
Not sure if this should go here or in the fitness/exercise thread. I've been reading a little about nutrition and exercise. I'm running and/or walking most days (at least 5/7) plus doing my at-home workouts for strength. Typically I'll run 10km maybe twice or three times a week. I've started one session of intervals and…

Healthy Eating & Your Grocery Bill
I've often heard the lament that eating 'healthy' is much more costly than eating highly processed, low nutrition junk. I may be odd woman out here, but I have found just the opposite to be true. Since eschewing poor food choices and cutting back on calories, my grocery bills have plummeted. Heading off a tangent here, I…

Can anyone answer this?
How many calories do I need to consume? I calculated my Basal Metobolic Rate and it said that if I was to do nothing all day that my body would burn 1335 calories. This means that if I eat 1335 calories in one day with no exercise that I shouldn't gain or lose any pounds, am I right? I have been consuming around 1250 to…

Cinnamon Sticks
I’ve discovered the joy of adding a cinnamon stick to my chai. I’m getting calories ranging from 0 to 69. Advice appreciated on how to log it? I just stick it in the hot tea, and throw it away when I’m done with it. I thought I’d better double check before I order in bulk, since I’d go through at least two per day.

So how does the amount of protein you need every day change with your activity?
So how does the amount of protein you need change depending on your activity level? I was told that I should try to eat 1-1.5g of protein for every kg of lbm. I don't know my fat% but if I guessed at between 18-24% I should be eating around uhh... (100-18)/100*46 = 34.5 (100-24)/100*46*1.5 = 52.5 Is that correct? Between…
