  • I found four flavors: three pepper, roasted red pepper, chili lime, and onion Parmesan. I tried all but the chili lime. The roasted red pepper was my favorite. The onion Parmesan has a weird taste to it. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes o don't depending on what I pair it with. The Three Pepper is pretty good too. It has…
  • *crashes through the barricade* THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS WILL WATER THE MEADOWS OF FRANCE!!! Ahem. Sorry. That's a yes, I do consider myself a fan
  • I don't have a good solution for hair loss, but use a product called "hard as hoof" for my nails and it is wonderful. I've found it at Walmart, but I don't know where else you can buy it from. It's a cream that comes in a small far with a green label. It smells amazing and it's very moisturizing/strengthening for the nails.
  • Have you tried microwaving them for 5-10 seconds? That warms them up and makes even the chalkier ones super gooey.
  • How big are these ears? Are they an entire ear or just a portion? I'm a Midwestern girl so i love my sweet corn, but each average ear has about 100 calories. 100 grams of corn is about 80 calories. I measured the weight of the cooked cob before and after eating, and unfortunately each cob did come out to at least 100…
  • And this is why we can't have nice things.. :tongue:
  • I know "Fruitful Yield" stocks it, but I don't think they have very many stores. I think "Whole Foods" stocks it as well. You can also order it online. Just out of curiosity, what are you going to use it for?

  • If this isn't happiness, then I don't know what is.
  • Cooked broccoli stems. No lie. I love the florets as well, but the stems are amazing. When I buy broccoli i separate the florets from the stems. I peel the tough exterior from the bottom of the stem and cut them into medallions. Dry roasted in a skillet until partially cooked and brown, and then steamed the rest of the way…
  • I think the OP is using the brand "Tumaros". They have low calorie wraps, and there tag line is "let's skip the sandwich". Thier tortillas taste good and are large compared to the calories they contain. This recipe looks great! I used to make quesadillas using these tortillas, though I usually use shredded cheddar with…
  • That is odd that a tablespoon of that cocoa weighs so much less than most. However, 7 calories per 2 grams sounds pretty accurate for a typical cocoa powder, so as long as you're weighing it, I wouldn't worry about any calorie discrepancies. Perhaps the cocoa powder hasn't settled in the container yet? Sometimes when…
  • Are you sure you are using a "tablespoon" and not a "teaspoon"? A teaspoon is a third of a tablespoon, so that would explain the weight difference. My box of Hershey's cocoa says that one tablespoon is 10 calories, but it is also a very low fat powder so the calories are lower than most other powders. Typically cocoa is…
  • What vegetables have you tried? How did you cook them, and what didn't you like about them?
  • I didn't know that they changed anything, but I have noticed that the in the past couple containers I've had, the curds were more separate from the whey, and the whey is less creamy and more watery than usual.
  • That's funny, because I can eat fiber one cereal all day long and be perfectly fine. I get a lot of fiber in my diet as well. Maybe it's the sugar alcohols in the quest bar. Some sugar alcohols really get me going lol.
  • The crap ton of fiber that they also contain. Since our bodies can't break fiber down to obtain the calories it contains, it's essentially calorie free. That's what "net carbs" are: the entire amount of carbs minus the carbs our bodies can't absorb (fiber and some sugar alcohols) On a related note, if you're eating quest…
  • I like my sugarfree gum! I love finding new flavors to try. I like him because it gives me something to chew without actually eating a whole bunch of food Sugarfree gum comtains the sugar alcohol xylitol as the sweetener. Like many sugar alcohols, it can cause upset stomach and gassiness if eaten in too large of…
  • It seems like every brand of microwave popcorn has discrepancies in the popped vs unpopped calories. I've never been able to figure out why. I frequently eat the small "100 calories" bag, so logging that is no problem. But the larger bags...I have no idea

  • I use Tumaros wraps as well. I've found them at Meijer, Woodmans, and Marionos. Jewel might carry them as well. They also have a salsa flavor and a whole wheat flavor.
  • For me, If my hair is pulled back and held in a bun, without the ends sticking out, I barely pull at all. I also wear a headband to keep the short strands out of my face. If I can keep it tightly contained and out of my face I don't pull. A pony tail isn't enough: the loose ends will tempt me. It has to be a bun. Wearing…
  • When do you usually drink green tea? Getting an upset stomach from tea (both green and black) is not uncommon. Tea contains tannins, and that is what can cause upset stomach. For me, it only upsets my tummy if I drink it on an empty stomach. Perhaps you are the same way.
  • If you search for "deer" in the USDA nutrient database you will get several results.
  • This happens to me. After you create the recipe you are given two options; you can either save it and log it, or you can just save it. If I just save it, the calories are off when I try to log it at a later time. But if I save it and log it, the calories are correct, and they remain correct when you log it in the future.…
  • You can weigh a hard boiled egg without the shell. The idea behind weight food before you cook it is that the food will lose water when you cook it (thus lowering the weight) and since everyone cooks differently there is no standard way to account for the variations in water loss for every given person. That being said, a…
  • I've had this before. Its good, but it is noticeably different than peanut butter. It has good peanut flavor but is sweeter and has a tacky consistency. Its runnier as well. Its not bad, its just different. Also, many people (myself included) find its much better when its refrigerated.
  • Yeah, I've had this happen to me too. There are two ways to save a recipe; you can either save it and log it at the same time, or you can just save it without logging it. I find that if I try to save without logging, when I do try to log it later on the calories are wrong. But if I save and log it, the calories are…
  • Take the entire weight of the raw beef and use the calories from that as the calories of the entire recipe. The jerky will weigh less after it's been dried, but that's only water loss. None of the weight loss comes from anything with calories. So if you use a pound of raw steak and after smoking it weighs 3/4 lb, the…
  • If you're an emotional eater, I'm not sure how helpful suppressants will be. My understanding is that suppressants, if they even work at all, dull the physical signs of hunger. When you eat because of certain emotions, that's mental, not physical. Getting to the root of why you eat emotionally, and taking control of it,…
  • Peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Made with MOUNDS of peanut butter. I'm talking 1/4 cup of pb at least. Mmmmm
  • You already logged it, so you don't need to add anything to today. The food doesn't gain calories by sitting in the fridge :)
