  • Overall, it's plateaued since mid-October, about three weeks now.

  • I love food that tastes good... unfortunately, for me, making chicken breasts taste good involves more than simply sprinkling on some rosemary and tossing in the oven. I like Indian curries or BBQ sauces, all of which, unfortunately, contain sugar, fats and lots of calories. Given that I'd rather avoid intaking a lot of…

  • http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/protein3.htm#1 Search the page for "Downsides Of High Biological Value Products" For reference: "Downsides Of High Biological Value Products: The downside of the rapid is that the protein is rendered useless within the body quickly. This is why large amounts of high Biological Value…

  • But... it's easy to chew! Hahaha! McD's is utter crap - I can make a vastly better cheeseburger at home if I really want one.
    in I have a bad time eating out. Anyone else like me? Comment by babzog November 2012
  • When my kids say they want Rotten Ronny's, I take 'em to a proper restaurant, or perhaps Subway or a shawarma joint if in a hurry. I'm their PARENT, not their high school BFF and I alone (and my wife) make their nutrition decisions - while teaching them about what constitutes proper nutrition, what is fast/junk food, etc.…

  • I'm using the standard bodybuilding (I'm not a bodybuilder, I just combine strength training with cardio 5x a week) 40/40/20 protein/carb/fat ratio. So far, it seems to be working though it can be tough to make sure I get all my protein in. Overall, I feel good. Saturday, I relegate to "reward day". Whatever I like…
    in What do you set your food levels at?? Comment by babzog October 2012
  • What I find annoying is that, sometimes I'll enter a food (say, brocolli) and it pulls up 2-3 entries for brocolli. none of which are consistent in their numbers, plus another 60 or so recipes with brocolli in them. Then, once I find the one I'm after, it's measured in weight, not volume - I have no idea how much space 45g…

  • Keep snacks (protein bars, granola bars, nuts, etc) at your desk and snack away. I'm actually jealous of you - having such an easy time losing weight, etc. LOL I'm the complete opposite - I merely LOOK at a carb and I put on at least 2x it's weight. But, I get where you're coming from. Heck, if I had your problem, I'd eat…
    in My low caloric intake Comment by babzog October 2012
  • ^^ This. Coffee and tea count because they're made largely from..... water!
    in What do you count as water? Comment by babzog October 2012
  • I use protein powder to get a big dose of protein in a small calorie package. Sometimes, I just don't feel like staring at and chewing down 2 chicken breasts to get that 35g protein when I can quaff down a small shake in seconds, getting the same protein count for far fewer calories. I can have a good sized supper but…

  • You can log it there, but the calories burned are not tracked anywhere I can find. I do a bit of cardio of warm up then hit the weights for nearly an hour. I do a true cardio workout 1-2x a week and weight training 3x a week, yet mfp would only think I'm doing limited exercise since it only appears to consider cardio as…
