      My old roommate taught me the broken cookies contain no calories rule. I chose to believe it. ;)

      Does that work for Doritos too?:happy:

      "Calories don't count on holidays, your birthday, and/or if you're wearing workout clothes while you are eating."

      A good friend of mine told me that once in an attempt to cheer me up. I laughed my *kitten* off! :laugh:

      to be honest I only recently found out that caffeinated drinks won't dehydrate you. This info made me very happy (big coffee drinker).

      whaaaaaaa
      does this mean i can have my 8 cups of tea and not worry about 8 cups of water?!?

      "Almonds/avocados are high in calories, so avoid them!"

      Or when I was on Weight Watchers, people mostly avoided almonds or avocados because they were high in "Points."
      They're missing out! Instead I just eat TDEE - 20% and I love my avocado slices and handfuls of almonds!

      P.S. Hey, if Weight Watchers works for you, then great! But I know I need more calories than that, from calculations of my BMR and TDEE.

      The cure for *insert illness here* is apple cider vinegar and black-strap molasses OR honey and cinnamon (take your pick)

      ETA: both concoctions are said to reduce body fat as well :huh:

      If you eat it before the light comes on in the fridge... The calories don't count.
      Diet Coke cancels out the calories of a donut.

      Same here, neanderthin. We must have read the same studies. ;D

      Ok, i went article hunting and asked around on campus...you guys were right. Studies really do indicated that saturated fats raise serum HDL cholesterol...

      CAVEAT, one of my professors who is a cardiovascular physiology researcher at Toronto general hospital said that literature has shown a consistent CLINCAL significance in the reduction of CVD risks and CVD events when switching from a saturated to unsaturated fats....

      If you want 10% bodyfat, you should get 10% of your daily calories from fat.

      This was actually a very popular belief back in the early 90's.

      Is that what happened? I've always wondered.....

      Apologies if this is a duplicate, but one of the most persistent ones I hear is that some foods (lettuce, celery, apples, etc.) are "calorie negative", i.e. you burn more calories digesting them than you absorb by eating them.

      Hogwash!

      Wine only turns to alcohol if you let it sit out. Vodka goes bad once opened.

      (I'll give a [low carb] cookie to anyone who gets the reference.) :)

      YESS Arrested Development! Love.

      I had a friend passionately argue with me that if a soda was caffeine free it was also calorie free. Therefore, since he was drinking a caffeine free REAL Coke it had no calories.
