Macros count? Who knew?

2 or more 16oz cups on any given day, either coffee or Americano. Coffee keeps me out of jail. . . .

http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0084154 Excerpt: Our data show that there were no significant differences across a wide range of haematological and urinary markers of hydration status between trials. These data suggest that coffee, when consumed in moderation by caffeine habituated males…

There's arsenic in apples, too. The amount of arsenic in these foods is minuscule. As to the 'people are now consuming more rice' bit, that smacks of a cultural bias to me, as folks have already noted how rice has been a staple of certain cultures' diets for hundreds of years.

With coffee and jasmine tea, mostly.

Sorry to link an ad, but: Watch, please

You can have pizza and still be disciplined. Just fit it into your macros and daily calories.

Why would I be kidding about it? http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/water/art-20044256

Depends on how many cups of coffee I feel the need for that day, since coffee, tea, juice, etc. all count toward hydration. Plain water? Eh, some days I'll drink 16oz. or so.

Which studies can you link to that were not funded, but are peer-reviewed? I mean, if the fact that some money source funded them automatically makes their findings invalid. . . .

Since the sodium levels in diet soda are roughly on par with the sodium levels of a plain stalk of celery (+/- 30mg, depending on soda, vs 32mg for a 40g celery stalk), it would seem to me that - for example - a simple celery stalk with peanut butter would cause a larger uptake in water retention than diet soda would. I've…

I, for one, am fascinated by the argument that pumpkin from a can qualifies as eating clean.

Honestly, the first thing I thought on reading that list was that it indicated food-related disordered thinking, i.e. the thoughts of one who might have struggled with - or be struggling with - an eating disorder.

"Matters" in the sense of objectively delineating the point where a food becomes "unnatural." Why is the cow more natural than the human? Where are humans from that makes them "unnatural?"

I'm assuming I simply missed someone linking this resource to help the OP moderate her calories from alcohol, without lecturing her on the behavior itself: http://getdrunknotfat.com/

It's unnatural, unless you're able to explain why a cow planting a tree is more 'natural' than your great great grandfather doing so, or you're able to clearly and objectively delineate the point at which the human 'interference' that apparently makes the apple unnatural (by some definitions within this thread) ceases to…

Yesterday's success, or failure, has no impact on whether you will succeed or fail today unless you allow it to have that impact.

I'll just leave these here: http://www.healthylivingheavylifting.com/how-clean-eating-made-me-fat-but-ice-cream-and-subway-got-me-lean/ http://evidencemag.com/clean-eating/ http://www.muscleforlife.com/clean-eating-and-weight-loss/

If it is planted by humans, it already falls outside of some of the definitions of 'natural' bandied about in this thread. So, what do you mean by 'naturally planted and grown?'

You're aware that you can get black coffee at Starbucks, right?

Could you list, say, a half a dozen foods that haven't been processed? Could you explain which part of the processing of cereal, or how the fact that it generally contains some sugar, makes it not good for you?

Sounds to me like your exercise's intensity - which is especially tricky for MFP to gauge accurately - is higher than the default for the activity you're putting in.

Sriracha sauce adds a rather different dimension to it.

Has OP defined 'clean' by her standards yet? For those who restrict it to 'organic' foods, I wonder: If foods that have been genetically modified by humans (at some point) are exempt from the 'organic food' label, I must wonder what foods actually qualify.…
