beef, pork, chicken, turkey, any kind of fish, eggs, whey protein.

I picked up some of the whey protein listed below this past weekend at WalMart and am really enjoying the taste. Six Star Pro Nutrition Elite Series Professional Strength - Whey Protein + Plus Triple Chocolate

Some cottage cheese works too. As does some yummy plain Greek Yogurt. I like Dannon Oikos and Chobani.

You look pretty petite to me. How tall are you? If you are really short then you may be doing fine calorie-wise.

Kudos to you!!!

An apt analogy.

Ditto, hermano.

Extra points for politeness.

Yeah, but then S.F. summer hits in mid-September and it is warm and wonderful til mid-October. :happy:

Going over the default counts that MFP gives you for protein and fiber is not something to be concerned about.

Pretty sure you are right about some if not most, or all other countries don't show a separate count for fiber. I think it is helpful that the US does. Went back and looked at my diary from a couple days ago since I haven't had any fiber yet today. That day I had an avocado for lunch which gave me 6 grams of fiber and then…

Inquiring minds want to know?

Not trying to push inulin, just wanted to point out that you can have a carb, in both of these cases a sweetener, which is totally fiber free or one which is 100% fiber. BTW - In what way are foreign carbs different from US carbs?

It works if you work it. Every day. Compare my MFP start date with my weight loss tracker. Slightly more than 60 lbs lost in 6 months. I have found it very helpful.

When you say they include fiber, are you talking about nutrition labels which give total carb grams and then under that show how many fiber grams are in that particular serving? Effective or Net carbs is indeed something to factor in but there are carbs without fiber. Granulated sucrose (table sugar) for example. However…

True enough, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that many of the overweight individuals using this site to help with their weight loss efforts have metabolisms which are somewhat out of the norm. That is certainly true in my case. I am hoping to eventually get my metabolism back somewhere closer to normal, but it…

Smart fella. :smile:

The flip side to this is that all carbs are processed into glucose - sugar - as part of the digestion process.

Sure. Go right ahead and say it. :happy:

From the viewpoint of an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic like myself, yep. For other folk, not so much maybe.

yup

That would be a good experiment. You already answered your own question when you referenced the amount of sugar in ketchup. :happy:

According to my diary I have ingested more than 3,000 calories today. It says that I have had 8 grams of sugar. It all depends on what you eat. On the other hand...every gram of carbs you eat is turned into sugar, glucose, in the digestive process so since I had 52grams of carbs that means I actually had at least 52 grams…

+1

never mind. :happy:

All us cool PF kids do that. :happy:

"American" is only a race in the lyrics to the American Dad theme.

Try a fiber supplement like Benefiber. One serving is 15 cal, 4 grams Carb, 3 grams fiber. Tasteless, non thickening, mix it in with coffee, tea, yogurt, whatever.
