These are all going on my 'to cook' list! I'll add my fav 2 ingredient breakfast to the list- banana pancakes! Half a ripe banana, mashed + 1 egg. Beat it together and pan fry for about 3 mins each side. No sugar required and they taste AMAZING. Plus you can add all sorts (cinnamon, PB etc) and it's still a ridiculously…

Love reading this and seeing how everyone's 'comfortable/happy' weights are so different, just shows weight is not the be all and end all of health- we all have such different builds even at this height :-) Just to add my two cents, I am 5'10.5" and currently weigh around 137lbs. I wear UK size 8 on top, 10 on bottom. I…

Weirdly I haven't seen much *with* added sugar! i guess it depends on the fruit- cranberries etc probably have more sugar added to counteract the sourness, i'm guessing. wow sounds great! ideally I'd homemake my food as much as possible, but I'm a student so kitchen space/availability is an issue at the moment, sadly :-(

I always check the ingredients and the stuff I buy doesn't seem to have any added sugar.. (in fact the only ingredients are the fruit itself?) But I would love to make my own. Someday!

mm yes please!

Heh, well I've avoided any cavities so far (and this is after years of snacking on sugary biscuits!) so fingers crossed I can keep that up :-)

I know..but i don't want to cut out everything I love from my diet! I've quit the biscuits I used to snack on, so a few dates will surely have a much less harmful impact on my diet than they did..without me having to completely restrict myself from treats

Thank you! having just started I've been feeling a bit restricted by the nutrient tracker, like I shouldn't be eating as much fruit as I usually do, or that it's either fresh or dried in a day, not both, to stay under the limit..

I may just do that- I feel like the sugar allowance here is very small! I'm thinking surely it is included in carbs anyway..?

I do feel like it's partly a mental block for me, that I'm just too used to eating less! Plus, before I ever thought properly about exercise I just equated eating less with being healthy.. So reading that I have to eat MORE feels wrong and antithetical to getting fit, even though i know that's not really the case. I know…

Hey all! New to MFP, nice to meet you :-) I'm having the same issue- I've been logging exercise/food on here for the last 2 days, but it looks like both days I've apparently been 600 - 900 calories under the required amount.. I am in no way trying to starve myself- all I've been doing is making sure I steer clear of…
