Looking for Clean Eating Friends
Hi, I've been doing MFP for a month. I'm a "wanna be" clean eater and cook mostly from scratch for my family and numerous guests. I'd love to have some new friends who are clean eaters too. If anyone is willing to share your dairy, I'd like to add you. I'd love to have a peek for ideas. My Best!

Going to the movies will get you in trouble
I like going out to the movies. But, with the popcorn and candy, it is a lose lose situation. I had a refill of the popcorn bucket and I had peanut butter M&Ms. I did burn over 800 calories yesterday morning working out but my movie theater eating killed that workout. :(

Spaghetti Squash
I've tried to roast a SS several times now and I really like the way it tastes, but it always comes out crunchy, and I'm not a huge fan of that crunch. Is is supposed to be crunchy, or an I not roasting long enough, too high a temp?

My favorite foods

Okay, maybe it's just me... (a long vent!)
...but doesn't it seem like people on the message boards are bickering a lot more than they used to about "IIFMM" vs "clean eating."

Dairy products
Anyone cutting down on dairy or going dairy-free? I've been reading The China Study and it's made me question my reliance on milk and cheese as a major protein source. Plus I am a little lactose intolerant, so it will probably make me feel better!
