Thanks for the responses. Semolina & cream of wheat are both made from wheat. Wiki says "Boiled semolina turns into a porridge, known in some areas as Cream of Wheat.". The difference maybe only in the size of particles (inner part of wheat endosperm breaks into smaller pieces than outer endosperm area). I also found out…

Semolina is not definitely crap, but it does not have the full nutritional value of whole wheat either. Same goes for bran - it has its place in nutrition. I am glad you replied, because i never refrigerate the nuts i buy. I did not realize they go rancid over time, because i consume them usually within couple of months.…

I did a google search just now, and south-indian-breakfast-recipe-made-with-semolina indicates that it is actually semolina. I got it from the local indian grocery store, and it looked like cream of wheat to my eyes. I cook my breakfast with just enough water, because i don't like watery breakfast. There is barely enough…

And my response to all those who posted a snide comment on my initial query ...... "you are most likely under 45 yrs old, and have not faced a serious illness in life. When that happens, you will take every aspect of your health seriously and learn to respect body and mind. This will naturally lead to feeding the body only…

Couple of comments: 1. I have been reading nutrion/diet websites with a zealous for past several months, in addition to other health related sites. I remember reading (either at US RDA data site or in one of the nutrition experts comments) that after age 40 or 50, the recommended sodium consumption goes down by nearly…

BTW, i also looked up this item in myfitnesspal database. It is listed as 131 calories (USDA data quoted) for 1 cup cooked without salt. But then, nutriondata.com derives a lot of their data from USDA database, so these could be somewhat overlapping government sites based data. It would be nice to get verification of this…

BTW, in answer to another post in this thread...... The food entries have limited space, if you try to save it all under "All meals" category. But, we get 4 pages worth (each), for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner etc. So, you can see more than 4 pages worth of food, if you look under each of these categories. I had the same issue…

Thanks barbiecat and bwogilvie. 2009 is early, and i guess it was the early days of MFP. It is unlikely that this site will get shutdown, because it is one of the top sites in this category, but it is a good idea to backup into local computer. I did not know that option existed, since i am new member. When you save as PDF,…

wow, this is awesome. My first real thread gives me "flags" on the post :neutral_face: Thanks for the info guys. I am kinda new to this nutrition thing and didn't know this fact about restaurants in general, Panera bread etc. So, the post turned out useful for me. Peace out.

Thanks Phrick. That helps. I will put in a suggestion at the place you suggested - because it does looks like they allot more space for each user, but it is simply in different sections than the "default" settings. I will wait a little longer, to use the features that has been pointed out by you, and then write the…

I looked at the dropdown menu now that you have pointed out. It seems like i can have only 4 categories - it shows Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks. So, for example, i went into "Add food under Dinner -> select Dinner in the drop down menu". Then, it goes backwards in time to show 4 pages worth of dinner. You don't get…

I think 4 pages is simply not enough space to hold onto all the food that a health conscious person eats. I consume a wide variety of food, and this is a big problem for, to have to add food all the time. It would be lot easier, if they allotted more space for each person so we can save 10 pages or so. Setting up a meal…
