The Doritos I've been eating here in Canada are gluten free, they are certified by the Canadian Coeliac Association. The Nacho Cheese flavour is at least.

Not all of the entries that are verified are correct, there was a problem a few months ago, some of them were inaccurate. I can't give you an example, I don't remember. However I always check everything on the USDA website (Google USDA nutrient database, I'm on my phone so I can't link it). Especially things that are…

Why not just eat a smaller breakfast and lunch so that dinner can be larger? Can you give us an example of what you're eating? Maybe your lunch needs more protein? How big is dinner, like 500 calories or 1500 calories? I always have an afternoon snack because I get too hungry before dinner.

I think a lot of what you read was about OTC suppressants which can be dangerous or ineffective. Prescriptions are different, I'm glad you're doing something that works for you, just remember though that eventually your brain will get use to the dose and your hunger will come back even whilst taking the meds and I'm not…

I think you're just eating the wrong kind of food. If you don't have a microwave, buy a thermos, heat your food as hot as possible in the morning, seal it, and it should still be hot at lunch time (Especially if it's just a vegetarian curry). Or try eating more protein and less carbs, bread makes me hungry so I have to eat…

If you're worried about the discrepancies, use both for a week and note the difference (make sure you do it on the same piece of floor though). If they are 100g off or something, just straight transition after a day or two. If it's like 2 or 3kg difference maybe record the average for a week and then switch. It's really up…

Despite what everyone here said, I'll just say that my stretch marks came about really quickly, within a few weeks, and I started using Bio Oil on them after about 6 weeks. Now, 6 months later they are noticeable less red and fainter, but they are still there. It helped me a lot, but it's not 100% I'd say 75% better.

Generally whatever calories are on the packet correspond with how the food comes in the packet. So the calories in the box are for dry pasta. Normally if you are meant to add something it will say both, like a dry cake mix or a cake mix with oil and eggs added as the box instructs. Weigh your pasta raw, much easier.

Well, I mean, I didn't look anything up, but logically, and evolutionarily, women need more fat on their bodies to menstruate, carry a child, lactate, etc. compared with a man. So we just naturally hold onto it longer. Hence why women are generally shorter and have a higher body fat %, so we burn fewer calories and can…

I was going to say this too, a lot of music festivals don't allow you to bring food in, they barely let you take in water, normally it has to be in a sealed, unopened bottle. Which is horrible in the heat when they don't provide a lot of water. Definitely check the website about being able to bring in food. You don't want…

I generally don't eat until after 11 because I work from home so I stay up late. I have a small breakfast (my guilty pleasure wildberry toaster strudel) at about 11-12. Then I have a 400 or so calorie lunch at about 3, normally eggs or something. Then I have dinner at 7 (normally 600 calories) and I have enough left for a…

I think most people just keep going until they feel happy with themselves. My initial goal is into an 'average' BMI or 150lbs or so, but I'm a 5'7 woman with no muscle mass to speak of, it's a wonder I stay standing :D Personally I'd like to get to 140lbs or so though but I won't really know until I get there, I might like…

The exact same thing happened to me, but way worse. I gained 20kg (45lbs) after I met my boyfriend, making me the highest I'd ever been by a LOT. Then, once we moved in together, I told him, this is ridiculous, I'm focusing on me. So I do. And I'm back down almost 30lbs now. A healthy meal doesn't have to be just chicken…

Agreed, body weight times 12 would put me way over maintenance. 204lbs x 12 is more than 2400 a day! I'm sedentary so I'm barely losing on 1500-1600. Be careful lurkers!

DeguelloTex is right, there are so many things you can make that are faster than going out to eat, especially if you're going to a restaurant, not fast food. I only cook for myself, so I can make a protein and a side (like pasta and vege) in less than 30 minutes. I also like making a 4 serving batch of things and freezing…

I dream about the day I can ignore a few of the users on here.

Was it like a ravioli? It says filling. I would use the 100g information just in case. 100g uncooked. But definitely email them for clarification. They probably haven't even realised the error.

When I calculate your TDEE as sedentary, it says 1662, based on your height, weight and that your profile says 46. So, you should be losing close to a pound per week on 1200 (462*7 = 3234 out of the 3500 roughly to lose a lb of fat). Are you using a scale to weigh your foods? If you open your diary, people will be able to…

I weigh daily, I like the data in HappyScale, I like knowing when I have light days in my cycle (two days before I gain 1lbs, and the day before I start is normally my lowest in about a week and it doesn't go back up once it starts), I like seeing the progress, and I'm impatient. I also like the scale telling me I've been…

100g is nothing! Go weigh 100g of cheese or something and you'll see that there is nothing to it. My weight can go up or down a 1kg each day. Stop stressing it's so normal.

You've lost 24lbs in 11 or so weeks, more than 2lbs per week on average is a great pace! It took me 6 months to go from the same start weight to my current (204lbs). Just keep going, try to watch your sodium intake as it might be masking something with water weight, and it will happen. I wouldn't start to worry until its…

Sydney, but currently living in Toronto! Missing the cheap chicken and cheezels :D

You need to weigh your food. You said 1 cup of cooked rice, that could be anywhere from 150g - 250g for me, that's over 100 calories difference. It all adds up. Especially when you aren't losing. Get a good digital scale and weigh everything in grams. Log everything, even social engagements, to the best of your ability.…

When I input my run it asks for the time, and eventually it will sync and minus the steps from that half an hour and not count them twice. Restarting the app like the poster above suggested works too. But you have to put the correct time and wait for it to sync. If it doesn't sync by the end of the day, I delete the…

When you say chicken tenderloins, you mean just plain raw chicken, correct? If there is a coating, they might have changed the ingredients since the 'barcode' entry was entered. I would also go with the higher entry, just in case. Or maybe check the USDA website. I couldn't find tenderloins, but 'Chicken, roasting, meat…

I think 1560 is way too low for your job. Somedays I don't leave my apartment at all and I'm losing on 1500. I would go back into your settings and change it to 1lb loss per week, that should increase your calories at least by a bit (theoretically, if you have it set to 2lbs now, it should go up to 2060, which would be…

Downtown Toronto! Originally Australian though, been here since February

I take one every month on the same day because some months I lose inches but not a lot of weight!

Knowing how much I was eating before doesn't really affect me now, but I know it was roughly 2700-2800. My TDEE is about 2200, and I gained 65lbs between April of 2014 and April of 2015, 65/52 weeks is like 1.2lbs per week, so 4200 extra calories a week, or 600 extra a day. So taking into account a lower TDEE when I…

I watch Secret Eaters too! How much people are actually eating is so shocking!
