You look it up online and log it (add it). That way it's always in your personal list to log as an estimate each time you do that workout! http://calorielab.com/burned/

I'm guessing there's a scientific explanation for this! For me, the less processed the oats the more likely I'm full until lunch! So if I ate a packet of instant oatmeal loaded with sugar *boom* starving shortly after. If I cook the non-quick cook oats (20 minutes stove top or 1 hour in the rice cooker) it keeps me full…

But here's the answer to the OP from the Livestrong site: Oats do not commonly cause bloating in most healthy adults. If you notice that you develop bloating almost every time you eat oats, you need to make an appointment with your doctor to determine the cause of the bloating.

I've been making oatmeal in the rice cooker this week (with apples and chia seeds). Keeps me full until lunch. If I eat a bagel I'm starving by lunch time! I think the trick is to do one that is not loaded with sugar. Some of the instant ones are filled with a ton of sugar. I'd rather just add a little maple syrup or…

punds!!! Punny pun punds!

No issues with oatmeal over here...

What a great idea, thank you!

I agree! Everything I've read from reputable sources says that 2 cups of fruit per day is a healthy choice (and nothing to worry about). My favorite point a few years back (I think it was from Scientific American) was the scientist that said: "Show me someone that got diabetes from eating too many strawberries and I'll eat…

You can use it to make fresh salsa!

One thing to keep in mind about Stevia is that for folks on blood pressure medication there's a warning not to eat Stevia. It's on WebMD for more information. Regarding what to make for a smoothie my favorite combo (for a mid morning snack) is: handful of spinach, mini cucumber, 1 apple or banana, ground chia seeds, raw…

Like I said I don't drink the juice to detox...it's just a healthy mid morning snack for me. Plus, for me personally the raw honey and chia seeds help with inflammation (something I have to combat due to having psoriasis in my finger nails...but so far so good in preventing it from spreading per my dermatologist). Anyway,…

I love the random documentaries I find on Netflix! :) For me the green juice is the perfect mid morning snack at work. Plus it's low calorie and full of fiber since mine are made in the blender (like yours). :)

See my recipe above. Very refreshing and tasty!

I don't use green juice as a meal replacement just as a healthy mid morning snack. I make them using the VitaMix and put them in a canning jar into my lunch bag for work. My usual combo is: -handful of spinach -an apple or banana -mini cucumber -ground chia seeds -raw honey from our own bees (!!) -splash of water and two…

All of that and prevention of diabetes and certain types of cancer!

In order to gain a pound you would have to eat 3,500 calories over maintenance. Those 89 calories do not even put you up to maintenance. Plus missing a couple of days of exercise is not something you should ever stress out about. :)

I read it as more frustration than anything else. There's been thousands of posts on this topic over the years and it does not seem to be helping.

YES! :D

It depends. How low do you fall in total calorie intake after a workout? Are you falling below 1,200?

This seems to be accurate in calculating the approximate calorie burn of various exercises: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned_list.asp You can add your own custom workouts to your fitness logging in MFP and that way they are always on your list to choose from (this works well if you use an HRM)

I do eat them back. For example after a tough workout of burning around 500 calories that would mean I only fueled my body with 700 calories that day (if I did not eat them back). You have to fuel the machine. Here's a helpful post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sophia-herbst/1200-calories_b_4816597.html

Agree...chemicals are not necessarily bad. I just think there's too little information out there about what artificial sweeteners do to growing children. There was a recent article in the 'Boston Globe' that explained "Schiffman and several leading nutritionists have questioned the safety of children eating any low-calorie…

Not backpedaling. Perfectly able and willing to have a good debate on the topic but it's straying too far from the original topic by the OP. You can challenge me all day long--but I just don't want to have an argument about it. I'm not the only responder that said that artificial sweeteners are bad for kids. I was told to…

I did not say "Truvia has over 40 chemical compounds" I said it was "made using 40 chemical compounds" Again--personal choice if you eat artificial sweeteners or give them to children. I'm not going to argue about it. In the case of the OP they are a student and it may not be practical to buy bakery-fresh bread (goes bad…

Oddly enough the fat free ones are the most tasty!

I'm not going to argue with you on the finer points of pros and cons of giving kids products with sucralose. The article I got it from said it was from NYU Medical. We can argue back and forth all day about this but if you decide to give a kid artificial sweetener it's your own personal choice. Just look at Truvia--made…

Thank you for agreeing! I also found this from parenting.com: "In his book Excitotoxins, board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock reviews the studies on aspartame and concludes that it is not safe, especially for the growing brains of children. Aspartame contains four calories per teaspoon, compared to the 16 in…

Pregnant women are not supposed to consume artificial sweeteners. In particular SUCRALOSE is one that comes with a lot of warnings for kids. Below is one from the NYU Medical center. At the end of the day it's a personal decision for the parent. I personally have to avoid all artificial sweeteners (doctor's orders, it's a…

Flat Out's have fiber because the manufacturer adds wood pulp to them. (cellulose) :|

Careful on giving children the whole wheat or light multi grain English muffins. They have artificial sweetener in them. For a better option use the English muffins from Trader Joe's, Whole Foods or Bay's brand (found at Target). They do have to be kept in the fridge due though (but that's a good thing) Here's the list of…
