Sorry, you said "big boned" is a myth. You are correct. The bones from one person to another do not vary in actual circumference, to my knowledge. When I refer to "big boned", I am talking about the wider structure of the bones. It is a common term in the south. And people with wider structure of bones generally will weigh…

Then why is my wrist half the size of another person who is the same height? And you are a fitness expert???

Sounds disgusting, but here it is: One can of tuna, drained. One small can of baby peas, drained. 1-1/4 cups of crushed potato chips, with 1/4 cup reserved for topping. One can of cream of mushroom soup. Mix all but the 1/4 cup of reserved potato chips in a small casserole dish. Top with 1/4 cup of crushed potato chips.…

Even if they were all the same height, there are people who are small boned and people who are big boned. I am small boned and should weigh no more than 110; people my height who are big boned should weigh no less than 125.

Alcohol has a LOT of calories, which need to be counted. If you drink 500 calories of alcohol, and your caloric limit is 1500, then you can only eat 1,000 calories of actual nutrition. Is alcohol more important than your health? It was to my youngest brother, who died this year at the age of 53 from an overdose of alcohol…

Read the income and expense statements of nonprofits. Horrendous.

I just add the total calories the marinade and divide it by the total number of servings. Yes, most of it will not stick, but I would rather overestimate than underestimate. Besides, 1/8 cup of oil and 1/3 cup of sugar divided by the number of servings is not that much.

Which means, even if OP was in Illinois, her five hours does not mandate a break.

Your body needs fat for nutrition. The fat you already have stored in you doesn't work that way unless you pretend you are in a German concentration camp. There is a ton of information on MFP about fat. Read all about it!

It sounds sadistic, but it really does seem with all the millions of dollars that people contribute, that surely a cure could have been found for the diseases that are killing us now. When polio affected thousands of people, a cure was nearly immediately found and not by a nonprofit agency collecting donations.

I eat tuna out of the can on crackers. That's all it takes for me!

Actually, it doesn't matter. It is not in these charities' best interests to discover a cure, as that would cut off their donation supply (of which most of which is spent on administrative costs, not research or any other actual help to the people who are suffering). Oh, my, if they discovered a cure, all those…

There are no US laws that say you have to give employees breaks, lunch hours, or vacation or holiday pay. There may be state laws, but those are usually for full-time employees.

I completely agree. Eat a big breakfast, then a late lunch, then a very light dinner and you should stay on track.

Exactly!

Your question doesn't make sense. Fat doesn't weigh very much. Weight is mostly water. What is your point?

I cut salmon into serving size portions, and brush them with butter mixed with Johnny's Garlic Spread (available at Costco - it's not actually a spread, but a powder) and individually wrap them in parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I've never tried this with other fish, but I'm sure it would work…

Almost everything freezes well as long as you first let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it overnight. Divide into how many ever servings it makes and freeze on a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with cooking oil. Then wrap each serving with plastic wrap and put them into large freezer bags. This works well with…

Yes, zoodles! Here's a great site on how to cook them http://elanaspantry.com/how-to-make-zucchini-noodles/

None of them. But they are tax-free nonprofit organizations, and this is what peoples' donations are paying for. How sad. I have a friend with MS who needed a new pair of glasses. I called the MS nonprofit and they said they don't fund things like that -they fund research for a cure. Go figure.

And you didn't answer my question - who or what is paying for these "studies"?

How I wish I could live in your world!

Yes!!!

Very good! There are thousands of studies on the same subject, all with different results. So - tell me - who pays for these "studies"?

Possibly by the corporations that sell unprocessed meat?

Buffet kind of thing? Start bringing your own lunch. Buffets typically have tons of calories, even when you think you're just eating a little.

What is woo?

Insulting? I think that the corporations which cause people to buy into these "studies" is insulting.

But apparently you are NOT eating too little! You are obviously eating too much, and I think once you start logging, you will realize that. You might want to exchange your fitbit, as well. Your free lunches at work are probably filled with calories. I have a friend who started working at the local senior center, where the…

Exactly. That's the way most "studies" are. They are usually funded by grants from corporations who want their own agenda as results.
