Yes and no. Caffeine dehydrates you by acting as a diuretic but that's only if you consume LARGE quantities of it. By large, I mean 5-7 cups of coffee, 10 cokes (which you shouldn't be drinking anyway), 4-5 energy drinks... etc.. Needless to say, a cup or two of straight black coffee won't cause you to be dehydrated. Yes..…

I wasn't knocking Chick-Fil-A at all ... I love their food.. I just couldn't think of anything else since I don't eat McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc... I think Chick-Fil-A is the closest to real food (besides Chipotle) compared to other fast food establishments.

I just like to eat =)

Haha, I lived off cornbread, snicker bars, ramen, and eggs in college.. I was always sick too... Hibiscus tea is delicious... especially iced.

I agree -- I wasn't posting this as a "DON'T EAT PROCESSED FOODS" fear-mongering post. I love a good sandwich from Chick-Fil-A as much as anyone else. More-so, I just found it interesting regarding the time it takes stomach acid to break the food down. I'm a firm believer in moderation. But I do believe that a lot of…

I add them to smoothies and protein shakes because I like the thick consistency it creates.

Rather than increasing water... try cutting down on the sodium. 4300mg sounds excessive and can lead to high blood pressure regardless of increasing water intake. If you can't, try to drink more than the suggested 64 oz. of water.

Uhh.. phytoestrogens can also be found in linseed (flax), sesame seeds, wheatberries, fenugreek, oats, barley, dried beans, lentils, yams, rice, alfalfa, mung beans, apples, carrots, pomegranates,wheat germ, rice bran, ginseng, hops, bourbon, beer, fennel and anise. Moderation anyone? Stop trying to scare people with your…

Who says you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast? I'm a big fan of leftovers, pizza, salad, sandwiches... you name it..

DFW for the win!

Who cares... if it makes them happy, it makes them happy. When did MFP become a place for shallow, judgmental people? I'll log heavy cleaning now and then because I break a sweat scrubing the shower, mopping/sweeping... etc...

you're welcome to add me as well. regardless, my journal is always open.

approx. 60 grams of fat with a 2000 calorie/day intake. If I run or do heavy workouts, it generally increases to 80-90.

Nope - I'm lactose intolerant. I drink coconut, almond, or soy milk (depending on my mood). I can tolerate half and half in small amounts though... and yogurt.

I guess there are perks to being lactose intolerant =)

I put the most important item at the end =)

I treat Christmas Day like I treat Thanksgiving Day -- quick add 2000-3000 calories and leave it at that. I do plan to run in the morning though... only because I don't want to break my running schedule.

Avocado + minced garlic + a little sea salt.
