  • don't sweat salt. research shows that salt is only a problem for people who already have hypertension/blood pressure problems. even for those people, it is shown that eating salt is fine so long as they counteract it by eating extra bananas (the problem isn't having high salt, the problem is having sodium and potassium out…
    in eating enough calories but staying under Comment by mfpmech June 2012
  • (assuming food is from varied and healthy sources) there is no such thing as too much protein, fat, or carbs. the only time you're getting too much of one thing, is if it prevents you from getting your minimum daily need of protein or fat. the general idea is: hit your minimum needed protein, try to get close to the…

  • agreed with mawk search sweet potatoes, and select the raw or cooked version. don't aim for brands added by MFP members, aim for the entry that has no asterisk (*) next to it. that one will probably match the USDA profile for the vegetable, and be pretty accurate.
