I just log it all and it is a little added buffer in case I was off on something. I would rather be a little high then a little low.

Love it, drink it at least twice a day. Pretty much anything except Earl Grey - I tried to like it but just don't. I really love cinnamon teas - my fave is Sweet and Spicy black tea from Good Earth - the herbal is good too but I am usually having it at work so I need the caffeine. And when I have a cold (or anytime really)…

6 cats, one kind of was watching but the others were not interested. A couple usually get a little excited when I have on the Puppy Bowl (less so for the Kitten Bowl for some reason) but really only one ever pays attention to these kind of videos. She also likes to watch videos of fish tanks.

Yes, you are better off picking the individual ingredients you use (so for the tuna sandwich each part of it), weighing and logging it - either save it as a meal or a recipe if you have it a lot. For things like fruit I would say try to find the USDA listing - usually it lists the actual weight in those (not just something…

I will have a regular coke every once in a while (usually if I am really stressed out at work or not feeling great). I don't have diet but just because I think it all tastes gross. I just make sure to work it into my calories for the day.

I don't have one but I can tell you there is a Peloton store at the mall near me and it is pretty much empty every time I am there (we couldn't even figure out what it was supposed to be at first - they hadn't started advertising yet and it was just a couple empty exercise bikes sitting there empty). I don't take that as a…

I usually do the weight thing and divide but I do have the problem when I make soup that the pot itself is too heavy for my scale (enameled cast iron - I put it on my regular scale and it was 11 pounds) and so there is no way to do that so I picked a number for servings (my first attempt I went with 4, learned I should…

Pomegranate. I love most fruit, but pomegranate is by far my fave.

I take Vitamin D because my doctor recommended it when she noticed that my skin was the same pale shade all over in the middle of summer (aka no tan), because I am not a fan of the sun - it makes me feel itchy for some reason. Since I avoid the sun I need the boost, plus in winter it is an issue since the days are shorter…

Who will win - the advertisers. I admit I have no plans to watch the football game - I will be watching the puppy bowl and the kitten bowl.

The next time he approaches you tell him to stop harassing you or you will report him to management, And then if he keeps it up follow through and report him. I just did my annual harassment training at work today - this is basically the same thing they say to do.

For me it isn't a specific food but I feel that way if I eat something that isn't as good as I had hoped. Like if I decide to work in a donut and it is a disappointment, then that feels like a calorie rip off to me. Luckily it doesn't happen too often.

If you have Lake Michigan water and don't have a water softener then the odds are that you have hard water.

Every time I have visited family in Seattle it has been beautiful and sunny al week. I would LOVE to live in Seattle (or Washington in general) even if it is rainy a lot of the time. Although no hockey team is a big downside. Plus hasn't California had a bad drought the last few years - you should be happy for the rain you…

Agreed on this - I used to go to dinner with my dad once a week before he passed away 13 years ago, sometimes to a diner. I would give anything to have that back again even if I had to eat diner food. I would find a way to fit it in. He is 86 - let him be happy and just enjoy your time with him while you have it. Not all…

I love it but it is way to pricy for me to get often. I have been drinking it for years on and off (again, it is really pricy here) because it is one of very few flavored flat waters that doesn't have any added sugar or artificial sweetener (I can't stand the taste of artificial sweetener - just thinking about it makes me…

I took a quick peek at your diary and you are logging but may not be picking the best options. For example I saw one item that was just Banana - 1 banana. If you weigh the banana and then find a banana option that has weights as an option (grams are best) then you can put in the weight of the banana, I find a good way to…

I was able to get to it - way too long to read but I didn't see anything in that specific article to make me think that fat is an organ. Also the article is from 1974. I did find one article from Harvard Health Publications that did state that "it's appropriate to think of fat as an organ or gland" but other than that and…

5 pages later and I still haven't seen an explanation of what the "fat organ" is. That is the part that confused me the most, .

Loud eaters don't normally bother me but the girl who sits in the cubicle next to mine eats so loud it is crazy - I don't know how it is possible.

I made a spicy chicken soup - chicken stock, chicken breast, corn, quinoa, guajillo peppers and then add homemade pico de gallo - tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeno and a bit of lime juice. Crazy tasty. I usually make it with rice but decided to try quinoa this time - I admit the rice is my favorite. It makes a ton and has…

I have a spiralizer which I admit I haven't used yet but I did find a lot of recipes on skinnytaste.com for it, and I think spiralizer.com is a good site too (haven't checked that out as much but what I saw was interesting).

I have only gone to the gym alone. Even when my boyfriend and I both had memberships to the same gym, our work hours were different so we went at different time (we joined together to get the discount - we went to small independent gyms). It is nice to go alone because you don't have to wait for anyone and you don't have…

I would be the worst person to suggest anything because I love their pasta carbonara but it is one of the things that is always on those "worst food at every restaurant" lists because the calories alone are terrible (over 2000 calories per serving) but it really is so good so worth a splurge once in a while (and splitting…

Gigantic by The Pixies

Fridge for three reasons - I grew up with it always in the fridge, I don't use it that much so it would go bad, and if I left it out on the counter, even covered, the cats would knock it down and eat it (because on holidays when I have put it out to be soft for dinner they have done that - like knocked the whole butter…

Cream cheese. Peanut butter on a bagel just seems weird to me.

I like them because when we have to bring stuff in for work they are quick and simple because I can get the mini ones frozen at the grocery store (our office is pretty small and they sell a big enough box to work in the office - well maybe not now that I looked at the serving size). They are pretty neutral so they are a…

Ok I haven't read the whole thread but I saw you said you had 5 and that they were bite sized - you should have had one more because, at least on the box of the mini cream puffs I like, it says there are 6 to a serving. The host was rude for not having enough food for all their guests and even more rude for making the…

Oh I am the same way with the broiler - until the oven I have now the broiler has always been the bottom drawer. And honestly I am still paranoid I am wrong (even though I have broiled before in the oven itself) so I only store the broiler pan in there.
