I have so far lived in 16 different countries ( most of them under developed ) and in every one the pasta box or bag had somewhere the nutritional information printed on it. It was always for dry pasta. Here in MFP you can check in the date base for " pasta dry " and you will get more info than you need. I eat Barilla…

I have absolutely no problems with all the food you mention. I do on occasion say something if a person eats nothing but fast food ( which by itself is their choice only ) and complain that they are constantly way over in calories, bloated, constantly need sweet stuff after fast food or are always way off with their…

According to nutrition lists of the WHO ( my employer ) smoked salmon has 0.85mg of iron in 3oz . The number is slightly different from fresh salmon.

I just made scrambled eggs. It took about two minutes. I would not eat scrambled eggs that are a day or two old, because they lose all their fluffyness and the freshly made taste. I would definitely try and find the five minutes ( which it might take if you have to chop onions and veggies, which I do every two days ) in my…

So, you are saying that there is nothing " essential " in fruits and vegetables, because the last time I checked they were carbohydrates. I have been counting on them for fiber, vitamins and minerals for weight loss and well being. But then, I could be wrong and lost 55 pounds that have nothing to do with deficit and a…

What I would do ? I would stop worrying about what happened in high school several years ago. Of course that is assuming that I had gotten a life by now.

But I am not speaking of anyone illegal and made my remark because too many US citizens automatically assume that blacks from Africa or the Caribbean are automatically illegal, while the majority are actually not. They are often legal residents of the US, but are not African Americans as so many assume without thinking.…

As a non-native speaker of English I am curious to know what you call black people living legally ( I am pointing this out, because I am tired of people telling me " call them illegals " ) in the US who are not Americans ? If " black People " is not correct, what is ?

I don't know what you consider " significant ". I lost over 50 pounds just walking from 45-60 minutes each day for exercise. Also, the main focus of weight loss always must be a calorie deficit. Exercise is good for all over health and fitness, but weight loss depends more on how much you eat than on going to the gym.

That sounds like the voice of someone who does not care for vegetables all that much....:o). I eat easily 7 cups a day and most days more than that and even though I am past 65, I have no high BP, high cholesterol, digestive problems or any dietary restrictions due to problems with certain foods. I also eat grains and…

90 minutes by public transport one way. In the evening it's usually more. Until recently I needed a minimum of two hour in the morning and more at night. I now work half the time in an office and the other half at home, where it takes me 6 seconds to get from pouring coffee in the kitchen to the office....:o).

I steam mine, bake or nuke them and eat them as is. No extra sugar, no butter....no nothing. They are plenty flavorful as they are. I also make a lot of Indian food based on leafy vegetables and add sweet potato cubes for variety, nourishment and extra calories. On rare occasions I also make oven baked french fries with…

I have always eaten healthy.....just too much of it. During a long-term project one of the teams decided that every Friday people would bring snacks and treats and we would eat our own lunch together and then share what we brought ( easy to do in a country with 2-hour lunch breaks ). I used to take " healthy " stuff like…

While I agree in general with what you say in your post, I also have decided to cut people some slack. I have lost over 50 pounds and people tend to comment and most of their comments are meant well, even if they after thourough analysis ( which is not always necessary ) might mean something else. I don't think that anyone…

I would not worry about the protein, but about the fact that you are anywhere from at least 10-20 pounds underweight depending on your built ( frame. Even with a very light frame at 5'3" you should weight at least 111 pounds .

Wow, it seems you can make something out of nothing......:o). Would you please share your secret ? I bet people would be willing to pay and you could be a millionaire before you build a couple of pounds of muscle. Just joking........you need to however back up your statement and that will be really difficult.

I stop eating whenever my calories are used up, or when I don't want to eat anymore. I usually have dinner around 9 pm and after that it depends on the calories I have left, or if I feel like eating. Meal time has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss or anything else....it's mostly a cultural thing, or it's personal…

Any exercise is good exercise......you have to do what you like and can stick to. I exclusively walk these days and am fine. As to your goals....that is more difficult to say, because you did not mention what your goals are. If it is weight loss, exercise is secondary after eating at a deficit. However for allover health…

No, you are not the only one....... I eat oats, but hate the sweet gooey stuff. I make oats with onions, tomatoes, lots of green chiles and fresh cilantro and it's delicious !

According to your food log with the exception of today you have been eating between 1500 and just under 2000 calories, which imo is not a bad intake at all. I wonder what you exercise is each day, because burning between 600-700 is actually quite a lot for most people. Also, you might weigh all your food. For example…

You are right in the US the distance from Kalamazoo to Chicago is not very far....but it is still too far to be able to see Chicago from Kalamazoo, which was the OP's point. ( re: being able to see the Black Forest from someone's window in Stuttgart ).....:o).

I don't doubt for a second that one can see the Black Forest from the grandfather's home.....but to do so you have to live within a very few kms. Seeing the Black Forest from Stuttgart would be like seeing Chicago from Madison/Wisconsin......:o). Yes, you will have to learn a lot of new stuff, but I hope you will enjoy…

The markets in Germany are great and operate year around, but there is also Walmart and Sam's club apart from German super market chains., US army people have the choice of shopping at the commissary, there is Ikea, plus of course Aldi in every town, since it is originally German. I don't think it is difficult at all for…

I don't think it's necessarily peinlich, because one cannot know everything about a country, especially a foreign country. I just happen to know because Baden-Württemberg is my home state. I could not make statements about other states, because I don't know them. I just thought it would be interesting to know for the OP…

I am from the Black Forest and just would like to point out that from there to Stuttgart 220kms, which I believe is about 140 miles. Of course on the Autobahn it is a quick 220 kms, but still worthwhile pointing out that Stuttgart and the Black Forest are not close. But either area is nice. Stuttgart is a bit more urban…

Wiener Schnitzel is an Austrian specialty and made with veal. Pork Schnitzel is typically German and one of the most popular meals....and the first one I learned in home-economics in my little southern German village where I grew up and a daily staple in the cafeteria in Berlin where I went to university. If you google "…

They said , according to Mexican sports news pretty much the same as they did in interviews before the match. Apart from nasty personal remarks ( which the Mexican media refuses in the spirit of the occasion not to broadcast and which most mexican players most likely did not understand ) was about how they would annihilate…

Nice to hear from an American ( I think that is what you are...sorry if I make assumptions ) who does not talk down on soccer without basically knowing nothing about it. And even better that you play the sport . Even though I am a woman and still a handful of years older than you, I'd like to think that as a German I have…

Your friend might have faith....in what I don't know, because it seems he knows very little about modern soccer. To make ten goals in one match is the sign of anything but not a world class team. Excellent teams, which these days are trained using many tools and techniques that were not available 25-50 years ago make the…
