I was making a batch of cinnamon-caramel popcorn, which required melting the caramel ingredients in the microwave. I used my regular kitchenaid plastic bowl like I had used many times prior... only this time, when I took it out of the microwave, the entire bottom of the bowl fell through and spilled boiling hot caramel…

next time, try to calculate the total weight of the entire recipe (so you might have to weigh your slow-cooker bowl while empty, then weigh it when full, calculating the difference as the weight of just the food). then log the total weight in grams as the number of servings in the recipe builder. whenever you serve up some…

agreed. why force it? find a schedule/way of eating that will actually HELP you to achieve your goals. when I started IF, it came quite naturally and immediately helped with my hunger. good luck! :smile:

thanks! :smile: FYI, it only worked on my cell phone, not on my computer.

adding my vote, too! I did mine on my knees for ages and never made any progress. switched to gradually decreasing the incline along with bench pressing, and voila! magic.

totally agree. until the labels are updated, how can we even track it anyway?

I know you didn't ask me, but I'll chime in :smile: in rome, I really enjoyed their version of "fast food" or what I prefer to call street food: square, crispy pizza from the small shops where you tell them how much you want, and they cut some off a huge slab and charge you based on the weight; and suppli, which are…

when we lived in the city, we did this with ALL kinds of food. baked goods, restaurant leftovers, thanksgiving extras, etc. I used to feel bad giving what I perceived as unwanted food to homeless folks, but my other/better half pointed out that any food is better than being hungry on the street. if necessary, think about…

ah, yep! those look great. thanks for sharing :smile:

these sound delicious, but I wonder what happens to all that butter (spread on the dough before rolling and cutting) when you bake the cookies? does it ooze out and make a mess? or do the cookies actually turn out like little flat cinnamon rolls?

reading these is giving me some good ideas for future goals :smiley: my current list: -do an unassisted pull-up -wear size 6 pants -find a winter sport I enjoy -stay medication-free as I age

omg hahahaha

I have mobility issues and was getting injured using a barbell for SL 5x5, so I do basically the same moves, but with dumbbells instead and for 3 sets of 8-12 reps. because my rep range is different, the weights I use are lower than I used on 5x5, but I am happy with my progress both in strength and physique. good luck, I…

http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2015/10/01/creamy-butternut-squash-mac-and-cheese-with-kale/ I haven't tried this particular recipe myself, but everything else I have made from her site has been fantastic.

I started doing this, too. once I start eating for the day, I am hungrier and want more food. but pushing back my start time has helped me eat less.

+1 I think I've read every single article on his site. LOVE his no-nonsense approach to disputing common misconceptions about diet and fitness.

delicious, satisfying, and only 170 calories each. soooooo worth it, and one definitely hits the spot.

+1. oh, the irony.

I like to make a "bean dip" by layering: a can of refried beans, 16 oz of plain greek yogurt mixed with a packet of taco seasoning, and 8 ounces of shredded cheese. serve it cold as is with chips, or use it as filling for burritos or enchiladas. my favorite tortillas are the fiber one wraps; they are huge and only 80…

try dividing both numbers by 10. so the whole recipe will have 245 servings, and you ate 15 servings for dinner. you can also record partial servings in meals, so if you ate 156 g you can record 15.6 servings. I think the servings counter on the recipes function only goes so high...
