Well well, thank you very much! That will indeed be the solution, especially if I can fiddle with a filling system, so many projects.... thank you much for the info!

Even milk I opt for homogenized or whole milk.. I'll get cream at 33% milk fat...use it when I really want to indulge in some real taste with berries or shortcake etc.. but my coffee or tea is consumed black. Other folks will make other choices but full fat and flavour choices, IE the natural product is what I'm going to…

funny thing on fat and protein... it's filling. When I eat it I know I've eaten, where the "reduced fat / no sugar added" etc stuff leaves me peckish for more of said stuff... which can easily add up to more calories than if I'd just had some fat in the first place.

Partly why I don't bother with the gym. BUT We do garden together, walk together, hopefully get bicycling together, swim together... doesn't have to be "solo" time, it's a great time to spend with others and maybe push each other that little bit harder when "Exercise time" is done WITH your partner or friends / family. We…

I certainly believe so... I use full-fat and flavour versions of my favorite items... I can achieve the same 30% reduced fat claim for mayo without having to use the altered ingredients / taste junk that they sell... I just use 30% less of the original product. Fat being "Evil" is so 90's, just like eggs being evil is so…

are you exceeding the default MFP numbers for protein of 15% of your daily calories? I had to change mine to 35% to get closer to my "goal" of 1 gram per pound of body weight... my home >goals > change goals > custom to change your percentages. Barring underlying health issues such as kidney stones you should be able to…

For me the blender blade attachment must be detachable from the pitcher and as it comes off that be able to be threaded onto a mason jar... the original "magic bullet" IE blending separate drinks for everyone using a standard blender base... grates spices, coffee beans, frozen berries etc etc all right in a pre-portioned…

Nothing silly when it comes to food safety. Learning... be safe... if you get ill from improper handling it's not something you'll forget anytime soon Enjoy your meals.

if you thawed it in the fridge, and it was frozen as soon as you brought it home... it's probably still frozen to an extent and I'd be fine using it for dinner tomorrow. ... if you thawed it on the counter or something I'd not even have it for dinner tonight, personal habit / choices

I previously worked with both a dietitian and a nutritionist, they were in the family health clinic back home. Make sure when you "Get advice" from them they "know" how MFP works ie your "calories goal" itself contains your deficit for weight loss, before lifting a finger in exercise... so on MFP you may want to eat your…
-
If you're using MFPs default value of 15% protein... it's probably low, barring underlying health issues like kidney stones etc. To get closer to a "my eating habits" number i had to change the value to 35% to get my "Target" of 175 grams of protein per day as my ideal goal... rarely reach it but that's my "ideal world"…

Hey to all! I've got my little piece of land where I garden, and keep looking for heritage breeds to raise. Dexter cattle already fill the freezer, trying to get my hands on some Chantecler chickens (Canadian breed devloped about 100 years ago that is cold hardy and supposed to keep laying... we'll see... my Rhode Islands…

depends on your pace... a 3 mph jog would be 3 miles a 5 mph jog would be 5 miles

First question on the machine... do you enter your height / weight / sex to the machine or is it giving you a general burn for "average" person. If it's an average burn I'd not trust the numbers, if you enter those biological details in it then... may have a chance at being more accurate than just the "Average" if you…

Joy of Cooking - simple conversions... substitutions are available within and it's got lots of info, I'm still looking for an old version that has far less microwave instructions ;) Ball - canning book

Your own liver makes more cholesterol than what you get eating eggs. Eat 'em and enjoy em. barring underlying health issues of course that if you have it you know it.

how long did it take you to walk that distance? if you walked 6 miles at 3 mph you walked for 120 minutes, if you walked 6 miles at 2 mph you walked for 180 minutes... pick the one that suits how you walked...

Had to find the description as I've recently read the trilogy, enjoyed it, will see the movie at some point, see if they can hold true or not... they tend not to manage it though... I mean you are seeing the "directors" version of it not the authors or especially not your own expectations but clipping bits and pieces from…

Make sure you're comparing apples to apples before deciding MFPs suggestion is low for calories... MFPs calorie goal is a goal for you to lose weight ideally at your chosen rate of loss (if it's appropriate for what you have to lose) before lifting a finger in exercise. When you do exercise and log it on MFP you get more…

1500 is the "bare minimum" suggestion for men, and I was miserable when I tried that... I'm losing far better at my 2000 calories a day and 2 lbs per week loss.... or 3000 calories a day if I was on maintain weight... scary to think that that's a reduction from what I was eating before in order to get my weight to where it…
-
measure in grams instead... get a scale that will tare... turn it on.... add bowl/ dish.... zero... add ingredient 1 to weight desired.... zero... add ingredient 2 to weight desired..... zero... etc etc until it's done.... only thing maybe dirtied is what you scoop the item out with if so required.

Rollercoasters, stadium seating for lacross, hockey.... football..... baseball? flying.... heck even the CPR course I took a couple weeks ago was a pain, for whatever reason the only chairs they had available had arm rests and pretty narrow at the front of the seat keeping my legs far more together than I'm comfortable…

in your original link you reversed one of the brackets you had [img[ second one is an open bracket not a close or ] {img} photo URL {/img} change the {} brackets to [] as you tried to.. make sure img is img and not IMG

It can be scary. Realizing that you can lose weight while consuming over 2000 calories a day? ... What's even more scary, for me... was to realize that if I'm losing on 2400 calories a day... just what was I eating when I gained this weight? I know it had to be 3000-4000 calories a day of nutritionally empty calorie dense…

Stevia if you need sweetener... one thing that worked here to get friends to cut back the add-ins to their coffee etc was using a better quality coffee... I fresh grind the beans for every pot. Stevia grows in my garden... great stuff. Just watch the truvia/ purevia versions or other ones that are "cup for cup"…

Eat when you can, workout when you can. Don't stress about it... eat your calorie goal daily whenever it is.... SOME people may have digestion troubles like reflux etc but that would affect some whether they ate right before bed or not...

instead of creating a new food with the 1/2 cup serving size when 1 cup IS available you log it as the decimal equivalent of the portion you had... 1/2 of the posted serving = 0.5 1/3 of the posted serving =0.33 1/4 of the posted serving = 0.25

my local bulk food realtor and health food realtors both carry "just the nuts" nut butters. if you have the nuts you can blend it at home Note that by bulk realtor I meant the one you go in and the stuff is in bins you scoop out the portion you need, great for baking / food prep with ingredients you only need a tiny amount…
