On Android go to Settings, My Goals, Additional Nutrient Goals and presto! I assume IOS is similar.

Misread! I really wish we could delete our own posts sometimes!

You can under settings for micronutrients. On your computer go to settings and goals and it is there.

Personally I would add it to my foods, using the weight per 100 grams instead of teaspoon measurements if it were food I consumed regularly. Some user entries are so inaccurate it is scary.

Why are your posts so aggressive in nature? You can successfully lose weight with or without scales, with or without measuring cups, and with or without logging everything you eat. What works for one won't work for all. The key is to find what works best for you. I personally like using scales but I certainly am not…

I love it!

I found the bad carbs!

A bit of Crocodile Dundee is in order here! Have I said how much I love Australia?

Look luck with doing that! We can not simply buy it from Amazon and get it shipped here. If you do get caught the fines are huge.

When reading through this thread I am left wondering want was actually a threat to someone's safety and what was a perceived threat. Having someone following you, for example, maybe a threat, but on the other hand, it may simply be someone going in the same direction as you. Having that uncomfortable feeling may just be a…

Pacer will do the job.

Again, statistics show our homicide rates are significantly lower since bringing in tighter gun controls.

Yeah ... no. Our homicide rates are actually at a record low but don't let a little fact get in the way of fiction.

Haa haa. Our homicide rate is tiny in comparison to the US and here most victims are known to the perpetrator. We have crocodiles and sharks which we won't have a problem with when hiking. There are snakes which will leave you alone if you leave them alone. Kangaroos, koala, emus, wombats .... certainly don't need a spray…

Another trick I was told was that if you start feeling uncomfortable just grab your phone and pretend to have a conversation about where you are and who is around you. They are less likely to attack you if they feel they could be more easily identified.

Well done on reaching your goal weight! If you were losing on average 1/2 pound a week towards the end you will only get an extra 250 calories for maintenance which isn't really much more than a snack really.

I'd love to visit the Pilbara and Kimberly regions. My husband much of his youth in Carnarvon.

I am a wee bit jealous. I'd like nothing more than to get away from it all for a while. Which state do you live in? I am in South Australia.

Double post grhhhh

Absolutely you should, just pointing out that the media are great at enticing unwarranted fear. I guess it is how they sell stories. I am wondering how statistics look in other countries though in comparison to Australia where you have more chance of dying from a snake bite when in a remote location than anything else.

Statistics tell us that a female is actually safer in the streets than their own home. Ie the person harming a female is most likely to be someone they know and it is most likely to be in their own home. It is great to take extra measures as a safety precaution but the reality is that the media lead us to fear what is…

There is that but I also learned that lack of sleep can also affect other hormones, including ghrelin and leptin which both impact on your hunger levels. Therefore the less you sleep the hungrier you can become. Lack of sleep also leads to fatigue which can also lead to less physical activity and a greater chance of…

What sugar-free gum contains that many calories? Psst .... if you chew a piece of gum for at least 1/2 hour you will burn as much in the chewing action as you will consume via the gum - assuming it is sugar-free of course. https://www.theactivetimes.com/fitness/10-no-effort-ways-burn-calories

I'd suggest seeing a registered dietitian for more informed advice on how to manage this. Many have had success with managing prediabetes without going to the extreme of keto.

It goes without saying that losing 10% of your BM will make you both happier and healthier. It goes without saying that it is necessary to find balance in your life between weight and sustainability. This mindset, however, can easily backfire and have people accept an unhealthy weight, simply because they are healthier…

I have to agree with you there. I guess fat may be filling for me but I really don't enjoy many fatty foods. Fatty cuts of meat, oil-based dressings, full-fat dairy, nut butters ..... pass. I really don't enjoy them much at all, although I do like many fresh nuts which is where the majority of my fat comes from. OP I am…

I should also add that I often ask myself whether the calories in the food worth the enjoyment I'll get from eating it. There have been many a time when I have made different decisions because I realised that I would get the same enjoyment out of a different choice that had significantly fewer calories.

How restrictive is your diet in regards to calories and food choices? People are more likely to binge like this if they eliminate entirely foods they enjoy or have an aggressive deficit. As others have already said, having small controlled amounts of enjoyable foods regularly can make a huge difference. My trick with this…

The time you eat would have nowhere near the effect as the salt content or the actual size of the meal would as it takes a few days for food to be fully digested and eliminated. If you ate a significant amount more in volume you could notice a small difference in the scale the following morning, but even then I couldn't…

Well done for making such a huge step forward. That takes courage. You can do this!
