  • Calgary Alberta here :)
  • Does anyone have any recommendations for logging weirdo foods? For example, today for lunch I made some pasta that was pretty odd. Spinach macaroni noodles, homemade pesto made from garlic, basil, kale, pea shoots, lemon juice, olive oil and feta. Then grilled mushrooms, peppers, onion in it. I really don't know how to log…
  • Janel I really liked your article about "logging accurately." It had some good information about which items to choose on the MFP list, ratings, and looking deeper into the item which i don't always do to make sure it is accurate. I will start using my scale more so I can log in weight instead of cups. The ones downside of…
  • Thanks guys. I will try some more water, dairy and food scale stuff. Thanks Janel for the sites and I will weigh myself more steadily to see if I am noticing a trend. NXD- yes i have my activity level set to mostly sedentary for those days that I am at my desk more or don't get to run so MFP only recommends about 3x30 min…

  • whew 3.5 litres of water a day? How do you manage that? I can only do that on my days when I am active all day. >_< And don't get me wrong, I love the taste of water. Janel, I usually log most things by cup size instead of weight. Days that I exercise as posted I still have that similar meal plan. On days that I exercise…
  • Yes at 1000 calories your body is on starvation mode so will not let that weight go. Probably 1200-1500 is better depending on your exercise. If you are doing more you should probably go for the higher amount. Weight training will also help as muscle burns more. Your body naturally burns a few thousand calories daily from…
  • p.s. red fades like crazy anyway unless you have a red maintaining shampoo. brown or black is the best i have found for swimming.
  • I used to get this problem all the time. I found it was for a few different reasons: 1. I had chemically processed light blond brown hair 2. The ends of my hair were quite damaged and dry 3. It got greener the longer i was in the water with my hair unprotected 4. hot tubs are the worst So i have since remedied the problem…
  • i would make ure you are drinking lots of water and take a vitamin e supplement so boost skins elasticity, and toning excercises so that your skin can recuperate a bit. Some firming lotions do work a little.
