Logging recipe tips
My top tip is to weigh ALL of you pots and pans and casserole dishes and store the weights. Then after you have cooked a dish then you can quickly calculated the net weight by weighing the whole lot and subtracting the pan weight. I found this makes it more accurate than just guessing a potion size from the cooked meal

Insides of ears burning- anybody else get this with certain foods?
For me it's chocolate and that new apple crisp macchiato. I thought it was *just* chocolate until I tried that. PSL doesn't hurt, and there's no common ingredients between chocolate and the apple crisp syrup that give me a lead. Is it an allergic reaction? Is my body screaming at the processed sugar? It's not life…

I love this product! I get it on amazon. It adds 20g of protein to your oatmeal. They have other flavors too like vanilla almond, apple cinnamon, strawberry. Just make sure you add the protein AFTER you cook your oats and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes first.
