  • I assume that you're talking about a database entry? Most of the entries in the database are generated by MFP users. This means that while you can usually find an entry that works for what you're looking for, they are also often prone to errors. You should always double-check the nutritional info of any food you log to be…
  • As many before me have said, I also log everything but feel good about my choice to eyeball serving sizes for most green/non-starchy vegetables - I also try to err on the side of overestimating, and even if I somehow ate twice as much as I logged (highly unlikely), it's at most, what, a 15-20 calorie difference for a…
  • Huh. There are restaurants I don't care for, and foods/ingredients that don't agree with me or make me feel extra bloated or whatever, but I can't think of a single restaurant where the food from there makes me feel sick when comparable foods from another restaurant wouldn't. That seems really odd to me.
  • Absolutely nothing you typed there has any relation whatsoever to anything I said. Nowhere did I say that an overweight child being able to "actually move around" means that there isn't an issue to be addressed. What I actually said was that you were 100% incorrect in your assumption that a child medically classified as…
  • If that's what you think my intent was, you go right ahead with that.
  • I know this is way off the topic of the OP, but I just can't with this garbage. A child absolutely does NOT have to be "fat as *kitten*" (as it was so kindly and sensitively put) to fall outside of the "normal" BMI range for their age. A 5 year old girl who is in the 82nd percentile for height and the 85th percentile for…
  • Agree w/ all of the above. You can narrow down what/where the issue is by checking out your calculations on both sites. First, if this is for the current day (sorry, it's not clear if this is for today or a previous day), check your Fitbit itself and how many calories it says you've burned so far today. If it's crazypants,…
  • I admit, I haven't read anything in-depth about this particular potential law. However, I don't think ideal of adding language around malnutrition and even extreme obesity into abuse or neglect statutes is completely out-of-bounds. It would need to be applied EXTREMELY carefully - very specific health markers/criteria…
  • The idea of anything being *outlawed* related to raising one's children beyond outright abuse or neglect is absurd. Unfortunately, there are SO many gray areas when it comes to things like diet and medical care because the application of the same concept in one family may be wonderful and in another family it could be…
