from the same "info sheet" though FAT does have a 0.5g limit.. if it has less than 0.5 it can be reported as 0...

As per the FDA it's 5

Love the labelling system we have... it MAY have less than 5 calories per "serving" so they get to label it 0 but that doesn't mean you can use the whole container and that it'd be 0 calories... they just get wiggle room not having to report anything under 5 calories per serving

I'd rather use those sausage drippings mentioned a couple posts up than margarine or the fake butters.. if they came from my sausages anyway, that are from my pastured cattle ;)

Definitely check your cooking method, if there's spray AND butter that you're using and it's still sticking... is that something with the product you're using or are you not pre-heating the pan "fully"... I use a cast iron pan that is well seasoned and don't use any sprays or butter, and nothing sticks if it's pre-heated…

That's the solution for the ticker, it's a "dumb tool" and compares only your official starting weight to your current weight to be able to report a loss, if you gained in the meantime. IE starting at 330 gaining to 340 and losing back to 331... yeah you've lost 9 lbs but are still one pound heavier than your starting…

On the weekends I make up a big batch of pancakes, I vary the recipe sometimes adding protein powder to the mix, or maybe stirring in a bit of syrup for ones I know I'd be using at work. Make the big batch, put them in a container separated by wax paper or parchment paper (prevents them from sticking together) freeze em,…

I use tortilla's as my "thin crust" base for pizza... basically half of a pita (pita to me at least is the 2 layers attached to make a pocket that you can stuff with your toppings) top with pizza sauce of choice, and your fav pizza toppings... already ditched a ton of grease if you normally buy pan-fried and calories…

Buy it buy it! Some things you have to buy when they're available. IE here I've got 4 months yet before our last expected frost date yet the stores have their gardening center fully stocked, when it's closer to time I'll actually need it they'll have their back to school / fall clothes out.

bye bye king size.. hello buying a box of regular bars to replace 'em... it's not going to address obesity in any way shape or form... if only opening the wrapper on that second bar would make a difference over opening the single wrapper for the former king size... Watch the prices on the regular bars get closer to $2…

I was always going over too... and then I got ticked off at always "seeing red" when it is NOT unhealthy to eat more than the default setting of 15% calories from protein. It took me adjusting protein to 35% calories to get a realistic number for my goals... 175 grams of protein per day. One gram per pound of my goal…

Recently? Why can't you agree with my pants... they keep falling down (need to find my belt) but the scale is stubbornly steady.
-
Not in any way shape or form... the big package is basically 2 small ones.... for anyone that wants them they can buy 2... and if they are "smart" on the buying they don't need to spend $1.49 and up per bar... there's lots of stores in town that have a regular bar for $0.69 vs the $1.49 that the gas bars / convenience…

Absolutely get fitted for a bike, it'll make the difference between going on a 50K ride and beating the thing with a sledge-hammer or getting up and going again the next day (been there, done that) Properly fitted you make the best use of the efficiency of the bike, if not properly fitted you can burn a lot of unnecessary…

my blender which uses a "base" for the pitcher that spins off and fits standard mason jars so I have a "bullet" unofficially for grinding small amounts of spices, or coffee whenever I need to... Besides that my cast iron cookware, it's great, properly seasoned it's better than any non-stick cookware you can buy now sharp…

eat when you can, workout when you can. I eat 'breakfast foods' as an evening snack or any meal of the day and a dinner traditionally meal for breakfast... pick healthy wholesome foods cut back on the processed (boxed / bagged, pour and eat or heat and eat convenience type foods)
-
I'm going to ask so I can be sure to get what I want, ie if I order a club sandwich and they insist on giving me mayo for it it better be on the side as I don't want it in the first place, if they can't do 'that' little thing then I don't need to eat there, ever. Asking how a food is prepared so you can pick something else…

pick the generic exercise that matches what you're doing... ie at my gym zumba appears to be a dance class the walk to fit series of DVDs get logged as walking jillian and bob depending on which of their many many DVDs you're using it's either aerobics, strength training or circuit training P90x could be circuit training…

have you been eating your exercise calories so far? If not this may be a good example of 'eat more to lose more', MFP is set up to give you a deficit to lose weight before exercise. Exercising burns calories so here we get to eat them back. At 1500 calories I was stuck I upped to 2000 calories before exercise and started…

We'll be making a big batch of chili together tonight, always fun working together in the kitchen ;) Dinner itself though I'll either bake chicken breasts or salmon fillet with aztec blend (2 or 3 different rices, dried peas and a grain or two) which she's not expecting for when I go to pick her up for our swim... pool…

Nothing wrong with McDonalds job as a temporary thing they have around here anyway a pretty decent benefits package, I've been tempted just to make use of the dental coverage to take it on for a bit, but I'm holding out for something in one of the fields I'm trained in :)

You're pretty close to your goal if you're getting 1200 calories... choose a less aggressive rate of weight loss.. 1lb per week will still get you just barely over 1200 calories if that's going to give you 1.2 lbs per week loss. 2 lbs per week may be a "safe" setting for some, but certainly not appropriate for those close…
-
Pick one scale and go by it, as often as you can, verify against your Dr's office on a regular visit anyway so you know your "Variation" or... grab a 10lb weight and step on your scale, if the difference is 10lbs you may be calibrated fine.. .if its anyhting BUT 10lbs your scale is off a bit so try adjusting it or…

$1.20 / liter but they've really "stepped off" somewhere, the price of oil is right around $100, same place it was a couple weeks ago when "gas" was $.949 a liter. There's no link between the price of oil and the gas price.

bread and pasta are super easy to make yourself, I'm making bread today... chili for dinner but fresh pasta is in the cards this week :) That said my car always has a couple cans of kipper snacks, as well as a sleeve of almonds or small jar of them, whichever I happen to grab. Pre-packaged in the case of the kipper snacks…

Nice list... and yup once you start making the stuff at home even the "Sweet treats" you used to buy out just can't measure up to what you make at home, in full control over what ingredients go into it ;)

I won't use it. But I do grow Stevia in my garden :)

It can be hard to "take control" and do it, I "let go" in school and ended up filling the "image" I had that others had of me, a really heavy guy... you know the ribbing... oh you're the "first aid dummy to be used for how to wrap something" and 'we need another roll of gauze one's not enough for him. It was plenty but it…

they are the same as white or brown eggs, just a different shell colour. Doesn't change the contents... if they are smaller pick a size that matches IE don't pick a large egg if it's a small.
