Chocolate is mostly fat, so it is not gonna be low calorie if it is really chocolate.

I am not high carb, really. The rice is a wild rice mix, and the tortillas are 100 calorie tortillas which are 120 to 140 less calories than regular tortillas. I am hitting 45c 30p 25f as well as I can. And the carbs that I am getting are high quality. I have been eating the same. I did re-introduce coffee into my diet…

That could be it. I moved from the WA last year because of the way that overcast affects me. That may be it!

Cholesterol in diet only translates to blood cholesterol in a small margin of people. Those people need to watch their cholesterol intake moreso than the majority.

I may start working out earlier. As for my calorie intake, I am pretty sure it is pretty darn good. My diary is open, and completely accurate for food, water and exercise. I have been logging every day since before Christmas. It has been quite cold here. And overcast as well. Temps have been getting down to the single…

After a mere 20 minutes of research, I have concluded that this is not good for your health at all, and any pills you can get probably do not have the necessary amount to affect you like it did for the rats in the test. Heck, you are probably taking less than the rats took.

Yes, you need to track them if you want to keep an eye on your true intake.

I do not do cheat days. I eat food that I like, period. I eat all foods that I like, in fact. I have, however, mostly cut fast food out, barring pizza. Pizza will always be in my diet. I generally stay below my calorie goal, and when I work out hard, I eat a lot.

I think that is probably the healthiest way to eat.

And I burn and eat some heavy calories on some days!!

I rely on MFP calculations and I lose more weight than MFP tells me I will. So, yes, you can trust MFP.

Thanks for sharing! That's bichen!!

There is no reason for that. Obamacare is the law of the land. We all need to accept that whether we like it or not. Boner did nothing really to try and overturn it. Republican leadership was in the realm of EPIC FAIL in this regard. The Supreme Court could have shut it down. They did not. And then We The People voted…

Right. That's BS. That should be illegal.

For the record, I am a conservative, and I did not care for Obamacare. I spent 100+ hours a week campaigning for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan here in OH. I was the Field Manager for Belmont County. I busted my *kitten* to kick Obama out of the White House. I figure it like this, if they are gonna tax the *kitten* out of me…

Well, the election was the peoples chance to do that. Was it legit? Who am I to say. Regardless, Justice Roberts made the call in the Judicial Branch, and straight up said that it was up to the voters.

what was he smokin'? :smokin:

I'll eat a horse burger. If there was a place I could go try one near me, I would go for it!

The nutrients that the sight tracks, yes.

I even log my cigars...

I put everything in. Forgot tea a few times. But I add it all in. Why lie to myself?

Not any more.

Yup. That is the main purpose of MFP. It is really easy. You will be a pro in a couple days!

SHE DIDN"T. Someone else pointed out that that may have been a part of it and the OP jumped on it to make people more sympathetic to her pity party. Pity parties are for those that shall not succeed.

I would be hard pressed to leave out my heavy cream... It looks good... I just really LOVE my recipe!! My sauce has a lot of onions and garlic... sometimes portobellos, sometimes bell peppers. (onions, bells, and garlic minced and cooked down on the side in water.) And I usully use some dried oregano and basil in with the…

I have been into cooking most of my life. Probably started to cook a little when I was 16. But we grew up on home cooking. When I started living on my own at 18, I really started cooking more. Got some Mexican recipes from my coworkers, who were all from Mexico. And then I became a vegetarian, and that opened me up to a…

With some of the fast food I used to like, this has happened moreso. Fast food burgers are just gross. I do not even remember the last time I had one. But the last several times I did, I was grossed out....

I bet some of your favorite recipes are a lot healthier than you are thinking. Pit them in the recipe builder. Some of my favorite recipes are so much lower in calories than I thought, and they are packed with nutrition as well. I was sure something like my ettouffe, cooked in butter, was totally fattening. Turns out a…

Also, take some calcium and magnesium...

Used to drink soy milk, and used to eat tofu. Not any more though.
