Millets and diabetes
How millets release glucose? We've always heard and some what believed that millets are good for diabetics, their slow-release mechanism helps to release glucose over a period time, etc So if you never believed it, it's ok, neither did I 😉 So I thought of trying it out and see if there's really proof in this pudding called…

Macros ratio
Hello, I'm on a calisthenic journey since 2021. I managed to lose 15 kg and build some muscles. Today I downloaded my fitnesspal app to calculate my macros and set some future goals : the question I have, the app set me a macro ratio of 50% carbs (around 230g , 30% fats, 20% protein) ; doesn't it seem like too many carbs…

Struggle with Macros
I track both calories, and Macros (carb, protein, fats). However, try as I might, I cannot get a day of perfect match on all four! Does anyone else have the same problem, or better yet! Overcome the problem? I pre-plan three of my meals a week, and even on those days: no dice.

Adjusting the macros on a food item
Can we adjust the individual macros on a food item without making a custom entry? For example, an English muffin contains 4gms of protein, 1 gram of fat, and 25gm of carbs. It really is not a source of protein so can I "erase" those 4gms so I know I still need to get those with healthier protein sources by the end of the…

Under 300lbs for the first time in about 4 years!

As a result, I ballooned up to 352.1lbs by…
