Who says dieting can be boring???

Well, 60lbs+ lost and my perspective has completely changed.…

New and Nervous
Hello. I joined this app mostly to track my eating habits and to try to increase my fiber intake. I’m 34 and found out I have benign (but precancerous) colon polyps.

If my BP doesn’t drop, then we’d talk about medication. I didn’t want to go the meds route, so I completely changed my eating habits for the past month and so. Stopped buying…

Calorie Intake for Weight Loss

Fiber Not Showing Up
Hi everyone! I made a dinner with Mission Carb Balance tortillas which are supposed to have 17g of dietary fiber. I ate two of them, however, I haven’t even reached half of my daily goal of 25g. I checked and on the app it lists the tortillas as having 17g of fiber so it can’t be a typo. Any answers would be appreciated!…
