Pumpkin! I'd always grouped potato, sweet potato and pumpkin in together (as the three usual starchy vegetables that always get roasted) and assumed they had very similar calories, and had generally avoided them when logging. About 18 months ago I went to log pumpkin for the first time and COULD NOT BELIEVE how low calorie…

A cake, as I was frosting it. One half just started drifting away from the other. It ended up a little like that scene where Bruce eats the cake in Matilda, but boy was it delicious.

As above ^, she can log the recipe in her diary (like I do when my friend gifts me her chocolate brownies) but can't see the amounts or edit it or anything.

If your friend goes to your diary and you've logged the recipe they can copy your recipe into their own.

Try a few brands of oat milk, I've found that the alternative milk co (not sure if available outside of aus) oat milk is super creamy

Papaya. I didn't think I would ever come across I fruit I didn't like but ugh, papaya for sure. Not terribly offensive just.. not good.

Find an entry for rolled oats that has grams as an option in the drop down menu and use that.

This. I do often think about food/what I'm going to cook this week/plan my food diary in my head. But mainly I count my steps. To fifty. Over and over again. No idea how to turn it off, I don't mind it too much though.

I genuinely look forward to the 12 weeks passing so I can donate again and get my chocolate milkshake! 39 days to go

I believe if you scan an unlinked barcode you'll get the option to search for and choose a food to match it, which you can now that you've created the food. It's been a long time since I've found an unlinked food though so that may have changed since.

I quit over a year ago as it had become a serious trigger for my anxiety. Stopped all caffeine; coffee, tea, coke cola etc. Helped my anxiety, though it could have been partially placebo as I put a lot of work into managing it. Other than that, the only real difference is that I don't have that brain fog early in the…

I wish 140g of raw rice was only 220cal. Presumably your nutrition information is for cooked (does the box say "as prepared"?), so you would go 220cal/140g x 150g = 236 calories.

I've noticed it too, mainly when planning recipes because I don't have my recent list. I've had to scan things because even when comparing and typing in exactly what the listing in the database says, it won't come up.

My mum always thought I was nuts when I'd skip her fancy muesli and just dump uncooked oats in my yoghurt. Haven't done it for years but damn it was good.

doesn't it do that anyway?

Yes, one of the most common things I hear from my mother is "you've always loved your food".

I have a pair of jeans that fit me SO perfectly, snug and shapely and never budge while I'm wearing them. They have rips in the knees though, so I decided to buy another pair without the rips. Same store, same brand, same colour, same size, completely different fit. Could barely get them over my thighs, they sit all wrong,…

Choose whichever activity level you think is closest to your day to day activity, link your fitbit, and make sure you have negative adjustments enabled. The closer your activity level is to being correct the smaller the adjustments will be, making it easier to plan your day imo.

Eating a whole lot of fat in one sitting can make me feel nauseous and like I want to throw up sometimes, was it out of nowhere or were you feeling sick beforehand?

I love all these new protein pastas, they're easy to adjust serving sizes depending on my calories left (ie. decrease and add extra veggies if I'm low on cal, increase if I have some to spare) and really help me get towards my protein goal as a vegetarian.

Coconut yoghurt really does a number on my stomach but god, is it delicious. Also mushrooms, I love them and as a vegetarian have to skip a lot of great dishes because a decent serve of mushrooms will send me straight to the bathroom.

I found some of those seaweed snacks at Coles last week, 30 calories a pack, I haven't tried them yet though! Coles also have these mango ice creams that are 63 calories each and reeeally good

It happens if I prelog the day, if I haven't logged something in THAT meal on THAT day it will remind me, even if something is already logged there.

Are there people who eat kiwi skins??[/quote] There are, I saw a girl eating one like an apple recently.. that's probably why it was in my head!

I don't think twice, I eat the skin of all potatoes, pumpkins, zuchinni etc. I thought this was going to be a thread about eating the skin of weird fruit, such as a kiwi fruit.. yuck!

I tried the low-cal moophoria PB dough the other night and really really liked it. Roughly half the calories and no artificial sweeteners (not that I mind them but the flavour gets a bit much halfway through a pint of halo top). Would definitely recommend!

If you're set to calories, when you enter/search/scan foods it will come up for you in calories, even if the packet lists kilojoules. I use the 1c=4kj and the macros to mentally double check that the entry matches the label. Some products also list calories in brackets after the kilojoules. So if I were comparing products…

In Australia most of our pasta packets list 125g as the serving size. I checked my Barilla though and it's 85g here too. Such a difference! I usually just eat 50g-75g and add it to a big bowl of beans and vegetables in sauce.

Both caffeine withdrawal and drastically lower sodium can cause headaches so try adding some back in and see if that helps. I found it much easier to slowly decrease when I quit caffeine than to go cold turkey.
