Tracking macros is great and all, but I don't think it's necessarily the best way to track your food and lose weight. Especially if it makes you feel bad. It's obviously important to eat balanced meals (not just load up on carbs lol) but if your diet is mainly composed of whole foods, I wouldn't worry as much. I think you…

Sorry everyone, I haven't been very active on MFP at all recently! I keep trying to get back into it but I only last a couple of days and then fall off again. I'll try to keep up and contribute to keep the group active! :smile: Welcome!

How are the recipes in general on there? I generally use Pinterest, but I also follow TastyVegetarian on Facebook and some of the stuff they share is so ridiculous and unappetizing it makes me think, no wonder meat-eaters hate us lmao. One food blog I find myself using a lot for recipes is BudgetBytes. Cheap and easy…

I won't repeat what others have said, but PB2 powder is another option. It's basically powdered peanut butter that you add water to in order to make a paste. It has way less fat than regular peanut butter. It's a great addition for smoothies or oatmeal!

I haven't been posting what I've eaten because I've been crap at logging and also crap at eating actual meals. It's more like walking through the kitchen, grabbing whatever I see, and shoving it in my mouth... lol.

I've been eating like a bird lately which is why I haven't been posting. Had my toddler niece and 2 nephews this weekend (plus another toddler niece and infant nephew for several hours), who eat nothing but french fries, ice pops, ham & cheese sandwiches, and chicken nuggets. So. You can guess how my weekend went. Luckily…

I'll be completely honest, I'm bad about weighing actual servings of my dinners. I eyeball it lol. I'd estimate around 200g per serving for the tikka masala itself, based on the combined weight of the ingredients. The rice you'd have to measure separately. :smile:

I mentioned this in my "What did you eat today?" post, but I thought it'd be good to share here, too! This was a really quick recipe as there's not much prep, only one pot (not counting rice - I use a rice cooker). It came together in less than half an hour (again, not counting rice). This recipe is probably pretty good…

I talked to my mom today. She says the most natural deterrents are radishes (stink bugs) and marigolds. Of course that would take up real estate in your garden, but it could be worth looking into!

Today... Breakfast: Oatmeal with toast Lunch: Remainder of my salad from Red robin Dinner: TBD, supposed to be oil-free vegan lentil falafel tonight, but I'm sick so I'll have to see if I can manage it. I'll probably have some ice cream later to help my sore throat. That's the story, anyway. Cristian is officially on his…

We were considering getting an air fryer because of my father's medical condition. It eventually came down to the fact that we don't have enough room in our house/kitchen for another gadget like that. I started a discussion and got some recommendations from other MFP users though :)…

We grow a bunch of herbs: Basil, parsley, sage, lavender, cilantro, oregano, rosemary, thyme, mint... We have a lot of success with basil, parsley, mint, and sage. Oregano, rosemary, and thyme are the runners up. Cilantro seems to be lacking every year which is sad because I use it in everything. I'd recommend looking at…
