I won't knock Garmins. They're good tools. However, they cost a lot more than I can afford for something that the less expensive tool does. Granted, my $26.00 V2 fitness tracking watch does not have GPS, but it does count steps fairly accurately, checks my heart rate continuously, and has other function such as a pretty…

Peanut butter, banana, & bologna sandwich. 🤤

Not sure why folks are putting words you didn't say in your mouth. 😡 Or did I miss your statement that veggies aren't normal plain food? 🤦‍♂️ Anyway - my food plan is to Eat Less, Eat Better, and Move More. Reduce calories by eating single servings - not the usual 2, 3 or more I used to eat. That includes all manner of…

If you don't know where you're going you'll never arrive. If you don't know how you're going to get there, you will be late - if you arrive. Why are you using My Fitness Pal? Weight loss? Gain? Other health concerns? Where are you going? If weight loss; that is where you're going. But that's like saying you're going to…

Depends on how a serving is described. I have a can that states "Serving size 1/2 cup drained (85g)". Most of the nutrition data I've looked at for canned tun or other fish packed in water say the same thing "...drained...". If the label says drained - base nutrition on liquid drained off. If the label doesn't say drained,…

He doesn't have a closet because he spent all his money on kettle-bells and weights.

Many chain restaurants publish their meal nutrition online, and some independent eateries are following suit. But for that taco or burrito you grab on the go, estimating foods in it then building a recipe here in the food log would help. Or talk to the folks behind the counter - explain you are tracking your nutrition and…

Gets a slobber-drool from me! 🤤 I've done this with other types of sausage, but will give the chorizo a try. This one was made with ground beef: My method is to fry the sausage so additional oil isn't needed. Then saute the sprouts (takes about 10 minutes), add any other ingredients (onion, red/yellow/green bell pepper,…

I can see MY wall. It has a window in it! 😜

Let it cook a minute (or more) longer than the recipe calls for. This gives the oats time to absorb more liquid as well as increases the time available for evaporation. I use more oats or less liquid because I prefer the consistency of rolled oats without them being mooshy.

Stuffed pepper. Wild/brown rice mix instead of white. Ground turkey in place of beef. Diced 'maters (fresh) and yellow sweet pepper. Slobberdrool! 🤤😛

Me? I'm doing as well as any other grumpy, whiny, old man with more chronic health conditions than Carer has little liver pills. Depending on what day it is, or, even time of day, that can be grand or at the opposite end of the scale. 😜😜 And you?

Beans - soy, Navy, white, black,pinto, you name it - are a food HIGH in protein. Tofu, another dish high in protein, is made from soy beans. Plus, they are high in fiber, which some blame for intestinal gas after consuming them. However, regularly adding them to your diet - as a dish by themselves or in recipes where they…

Been keeping an eye on things since first reports from China. Not surprised at the global scope of it. Just since/during the weekend, groups to which I belong have all remaining March meetings canceled . April meetings are in in limbo. Lent fish fries canceled. Monday night Dungeons & Dragons at local game shop canceled.…

Retired. 👌😶

Depends. Has she been in self-quarantine for two weeks? Traveled further than her mailbox in the past month? Had dinner with someone who has tested positive? 🤣 Before anyone goes ballistic, that's humor. 🤦‍♂️

They work. Cooking with circulating hot air (convection cooking) is, generally, faster and the food prepared this way healthier than deep frying, pan frying, baking, etc. But they are SO overpriced. Want to 'air fry'? Buy a counter-top convection oven

Sounds like equipment failure. My suggestion is to contact your insurance company to find out how to get one that works.

I doubt it. Knowing the product name (Birch Bender's Micro-Pancakery Keto Pancake and Waffle mix) should be sufficient for those who have used it. Just in case, though, here's the ingredients in the bag: Birch Bender's Micro-Pancakery Keto Pancake and Waffle mix. But, I guess not writing half an encyclopedia, with every…

We're all rootin' for ya'!🤗

Weight maintenance is not about cheating. Instead of thinking about how to cheat the daily calorie goal, even one day per week, think, instead, about feeling better and being healthier. Eat Less, Eat Better, Move More. Every Day.

Welcome, Again. 😜 Like so many other things in life, losing weight/getting in shape/being healthier are lofty goals, but we need a specific and workable plan and must be ready to do it. Go ahead, eat the elephant - just not all in one day. Take a couple bites every day, though. EVERY day. Not big bites, just bites you can…

😢

"Fake" is such an overused term I gag every time I see it or hear it. 🤢 Now that my rant is out of my system, think how much food would be available if we went back to eating only foods that were not preserved/processed, grown without the aid of fertilizers/chemicals (even "natural" fertilizers contain chemicals) or…

Push-aways (half push ups) against the desktop or a counter top in a break room. Hands on the desk/counter surface, rest of body at about a 45 degree angle to the floor (or any comfortable angle) and push away. Especially useful for anyone who can no longer do a real push up.

Watch the movie, Heartbreak Ridge. Seriously. Whether you like it or loathe it, it will take your mind off your trouble. At least for 2:10. Then decide. Are you going to pine away in self pity or start climbing out of that pit of sorrow? Either sit in the pit or get moving towards some sort of goal. Not saying that a…

Peanut butter and no sugar jelly/jam on a Mission brand Carb Balance whole wheat soft tortilla. Just make sure to use only one serving each of peanut butter and jelly. Also keep in mind that you do need some carbs, so make 'em complex (starchy veggies, etc.) and not simple (processed foods such as white bread, etc.) Geesh,…

You are right, but if I start looking at it that way I'll fail. I've tried losing weight in the past with the goal of filling up calorie shortfalls with my snacks. I have to change my life style and work on making the goal good health rather than 'what else can I eat?' Not criticizing, just sharing that that approach is a…

Mom-style PBJ's. Peanut butter spread so thin you can see the bread beneath it. On the other slice the jelly/jam is spread just as thin. Might as well just have an air sandwich. 🤢

New to diabetes, I schedule all my meals and snacks to keep a relatively stable blood glucose level. Today's 3 snacks are:* Sardines in water (150 cal/0 carbs * Tuna salad sandwich on a high fiber soft tortilla (171 cal/23 carbs/15 g fiber) * Bed-time snack of two Dove dark chocolate Promises (84 cal/10 carbs). This is the…
