For one or two cup coffee drinker. The kuerig is great I've had.mine for 3 yrs now no problems. But I run vinegar thru mine every 3 months when I change the filter. It's more maintenance...lol than my old Mr coffee drip pot. But for the weekend when I have time I use the pour over

Never would have thought the toaster on the list haha. When we moved into our new house I almost contemplating throwing it out. I just don't like the idea of a one purpose appliance...lol but the wife had to have it. Believe it or not...I grind my morning coffee with the milling blade of my nutribullet haha...and I use the…

I typically add hot sauce...or just plain. But I've been watching sodium intake...and it's kinda high in sodium.
-
I use Soylent at least once a day, typically on my way to work....the Original v1.8 powder aint bad....I like the "neutral"" flavor...cause I can add my OWN flavoring....that way I dont get bored of it...lol made the mistake of buying a tub of Cookies and Cream protein powder....will never eat cookies and cream for a…

This stuff looks so cool.....ahaha/ I may just try it....I'm a creature of habit, and tend to eat the same stuff day vt day.....eggs, yogurt bananas, apples, celery, green beans, baked beans, wheat bread......but what appealed to me was the coffiest or however it's spelled...often times I miss out breakfast, sneaking out…

It all depends on you.....I personally work out at night (8 p.m...sometimes 9) and when I come home after 11 I really don't feel like eating _anything_ so at most, I'll have a square of dark chocolate, a glass (5 oz.....lol not 8) of red wine, or sometimes a protein shake.
-
Number 1 would be to use a digital kitchen scale if you're not already..... Number 2, check your water intake.....you should be drinking at least, minimum, half your body weight, in fluid ounces of water, per day......I weight 179.....I personally drink 89.5 (90 lol) ounces of water per day....minimum,,,,,it sounds like a…

I will just say, hang in there......I am personally in the same boat...my wife hasn't yet jumped on the healthy eating lifestyle.....I am just so glad her grandmother introduced me to MFP :) Let's just say I took it to the next level....I've been on this journey a good 3+ years.....and love every bit of it. The…

I've heard this time and time again.....it's a simple rule I live by though, I don't eat anything within a 3 hour window of my bedtime.....if I'm going to bed at midnight....I won't eat anything after 9 p.m.....back in the day, that was ROUGH, but only because that was my VICE....that bag of potato chips in front of the…
-
The way I look at it is this: When you created your ACCOUNT you told MFP your activity level, IT has already "adjusted" your calorie goal based ON your "activity level".....so if you go telling MFP you work as a sales man, are on your feet 8 hours a day, and work out 2 hours a day at the gym (I consider this an "Active"…
-
Nothing wrong with cabbage soup per se....I hear it's St. Patty's Day? lol.....that being said, If you try this.....definitely consider supplementing with some protein......cause yea....you're gonna end up losing muscle mass and end up with "flabby" jiggly under arms....gotta fill in those "wings" with muscle......YES you…
-
It's all an estimate.....and YES, coming from a 31 year old male, that has lost 104 lbs now and counting, over the course of 3+ years.....I will say the calorie burn IS calculated based on your "stats" - being that, a 298 lb 30 year old does not burn the same amount of calories as a 179 lb 31 year old ;) It's actually…
-
You are exactly right. If you are logging your exercise into MFP, which syncs with FitBit, it will only give you calories burned if it's less than the projection that Fitbit calculated. If you have the app on your phone, you can click on the Fitbit Exercise entry, and it'll give you the breakdown. For example, today my…

I came, I saw, I conqured LOL.....I saw this at Sam's Club, told my wife.....and YES she got me it for Christmas :) http://www.samsclub.com/sams/jaxx-fitpack-teal-in-club-122749/prod19545059.ip?navAction= Yes, that is a shaker.....it's totally awesome, I got room for pasta, sauce, veggies, fruit, etc...all seperated :)…
-
lol, my mother introduced me to WISH.com and Geek....they are apps that allow you to mail order crap (yea.,a lot of it is....) from China haha, and yes, some of the stuff is like REALLY WHY....? HAHA. That being said, I found a cool essential oil diffuser on their for like 20$ + 1$ shipping!
-
Don't take it personal....but how have you prepared them...? There's been a lot of stuff that I didn't "like" but after finding good recipes, they are more appealing ;) Radishes, beans, asparagus, are among my list of past "hated foods" lol.....but love them now......Other than that, what are you looking for....? I know…
-
I put sriracha on my chicken.....in fact sriracha is delicious on most everything....lol. I do chicken and parmesan.....chicken and sriracha, chicken with italian dressing..... :) all are delicious. The easiest I have, is you get a bag of the cheap "leg quarters" from the store, and you preheat the oven to 400…
-
When I read that first statement, "Intermittent Fasting" comes to mind.....this may help you.......essentially what intermittent fasting is, you consume all of your "calories" within an 8 hour window......and then you essentially "fast" (no food.....just water.....tea....coffee...etc) for the other 16 hours in the…
-
I will say, I've been on this site now 2-3 years.....have lost 104 lbs now.....and I have no loose skin.....I believe it's WHAT you eat, HOW you eat, and most importantly how much WATER you intake.....I was told back in High School, in our physical education/health class, the body is made up of a HUGE percentage of…
-
I typically eat my sardines plain with some sriarcha sauce drizzled on top ;) Or....over sardine crackers ;) Or, make it into a paste-like texture, and spread over bread as a sandwich (as you would a tuna sammich). lol, I been eating them so long the smell doesn't bother me ;)
-
makes sense....lol. in my early days I was very "anal" about my calorie counting, weighing out even my half and half for my coffee.....lol (yes there is an entry in MFP for the grams weight of "half and half" lol I was shocked) but now, since I've been doing it now 3 years.....I can kind of "eye ball it" per se......lol to…
-
Nope, not saving any of it.....lol.....I can't imagine saving all of those old size 48 waist shorts.....old 3XL shirts....etc. out with the old, in with the new.....donated them all to charity....part of me felt bad.....by donating them I felt like I was 'supporting' someone's choice to stay fat.....funny though, cause my…
-
Goes to show calories a calorie.....and yes, being physically active does help a LOT....I didn't start seeing the scale move until I started being more active, and weighing my food that I eat.....
-
Honestly, I used them years ago....before MFP.....and they never worked.....I would use them as a "snack" per se.....typically, and still eat.....and that's likely why they didn't work...nowadays I stick to real food, and use whey/soy protein powders...once daily.
-
All of them! lol.....honestly, I'm not one to 'blacklist' any nutrient......the only thing i personally watch for is sodium....which is funny, cause carbs and sodium tend to run hand in hand......particularly in processed foods, which is what you need to stay away from.....but oh my.....i can't survive without carbs…
-
you guessed it, it is strange....and yes it is temporary.....now if you have a history of water retention, that would help in that aspect possibly.....but I'm no Dr......lol...similar effect as a sauna suit, etc...lol
-
I love the elliptical.....it's my goto.....gets my heart rate up everytime! And is easy on the joints ;) Aside from that.....lifting weights too. I could never get into the "at home workout" DVD phase lol.....even though I got the Insanity and P90x series......
-
I personally wouldn't log this 'calorie burn' either....on the other hand....if you wanted a more realistic number, I suppose you could get a Heart Rate Monitor....a decent one with a chest strap, strap that around you, and then set it up and 'clock' the calorie burn next time you wash the car.....I think you'll be amazed…
-
I never got the magic bullet, though I do have the NutriBullet 600watt and love it......but yes.....you still gotta watch what your blast with it :)
-
I log my vegetables....the easiest, most accurate way to log lettuce and most vegetables though, is using a digital kitchen scale with a "tare" or "zero" feature......so you can weigh out your lettuce, log it, zero the scale, then add your cucumber, log it, etc....one by one....there's a lot of macros/micros within…
