Shopping at Fred Meyer – a Little Scared
So, I’m new to clean eating and plan on spending some time in the healthier section of Fred Meyer this weekend. FM is the best that we have in our area (no Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s). Does anyone have advice on must haves, what to avoid, and what are just gimmicky, over-priced, and/or high calorie products? My plan is to…

How do you track your calories when you cook from scratch?
It seems like the database is full of processed food but "clean" ingredients are hard to find. For example, last night I made chicken & biscuits from scratch, including the stock. There were a few chicken & biscuit entries in the database, but no way to tell if those recipes are similar to mine. So I entered my own recipe,…

I lost 30lbs. cause I didn’t realise how much calories I was actually eating. I have since gained most of if back over the course…

here we go again
A nice woman wanting advice (on the main boards) about how to keep the "whites" (as she calls them) from her diet, and the throngs of lemming posters with blinders on come to mock her and tell her she's ridiculous for not eating as they do. Why is there no respect for differing approaches and when did MFP become "IIFYM…

As I am my mother's daughter, I am gluten and dairy sensitive. The more research I do the more I want to stay away from soy, as well. What are some great recipes…

Give me some info & what are your macros?
I was attempting primal/paleo for a few weeks. I enjoyed the low carb & sugar, as well as cutting out processed foods / grains / etc. After two weeks I did good on a general basis, and felt better, but realized its not a long term thing for me. Id like to be more relaxed and "eat clean" instead of restrictive. Still going…

Importance of Checking Ingredient List - Shake Comparison
I cannot stress the importance of checking the ingredients of things before you consume them. If you don't think it matters, guess again. Sucralose? Gag. Isagenix uses all natural honey and fructose that’s taken from beets, apples and pears. "Brand X" shakes are sweetened with sucralose. Sucralose is highly processed with…

She actually does a better job making it for pancakes which you can watch on Oxygen magazine video. I wanted to share…
