  • Kellogg's - All-Bran Bran Buds - 1/3 cup (30 g) = 80 cal. = 13g of fiber... I just try to eat this in addition to whatever I eat for breakfast.

  • Originally from Oklahoma... spent some time in Arkansas before coming to California. For decades my sister pronounced crayon as "crown" = endless joy for me! (yes, I know I have issues.) :) MANY relatives from the Midwest say things like "warsh" for wash, "rut" for root, "hup" for hoop, and phrases like "git-r-dun" are a…

  • I had to wear a suit today (normally try to avoid this!)... and my dress belt fit on the LAST hole - the one the good side!!! :) I normally wear a velcro type belt with sort of an infinite adjustment in length, so this was a nice surprise and made me feel like I am doing something right!

  • Former I.T. professional (... still in "recovery" - I moonlight on occasion). As others have said - mostly sedentary work / staring at screens trying to figure out "what happened?!?". I made a career change almost ten years ago (NOT for health reasons). Currently:

  • 6' 0" here... Heaviest was ~ 250 lbs. sometime last year (2013). 44 y/o "weekend warrior" trying to keep up with younger guys, but no real plan of attack and always fighting soreness or overuse injuries. I started MFP 28 days ago and am now 213 lbs. My goal is 195 lbs. - but there is no specific time table... if / when I…

  • OP ... I have this same concern. I will admit that this fear (of grossly underestimating my intake) has lead me to modify where I choose to eat. This is not as convenient, but I am still learning about estimating portions, food weights, etc. Fortunately there is a comprehensive data collective out there (MFR and other…

  • ... still in the honeymoon phase (1 week in) - but I am logging as soon afterwards as possible. As others have said, it lets me know "what / how much" I have left as the day progresses... and if I am projected to be waaaaayyy under on something (protein, etc.). I obviously don't pre-plan as many apparently do (lacking…

  • I was a huge consumer of Diet Coke in particular (yes, for you grammar nazis; I was huge AND my consumption was ~ 120 oz. per day) for many years. I say was because I also gave it up for lent like others have mentioned. I drink a lot more water now... even if I have to add flavored packets (with aspertame) in some times to…

  • This thread has taken an unexpected turn (I guess that just goes to show how much I have to learn!) ... as I was thinking the same way, "... it's ONLY 5 calories.... who cares?!?!" But now I can see some value in tracking sodium, etc. I am a little concerned that tracking every piece of gum, 0 calorie soda / lemonade, etc.…
