You can also use this recipe calculator to determine the nutritional content of your recipes, and then enter them into the database: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp Hope that helps.

Yes, this will be mandated for restaurants with 20 or more locations. Smaller, family-owned type businesses will not be required to.

Right? I was thinking to myself that I was shocked that people were so shocked that the McDonald's Frappe was bad for them in the first place...

^^ This. I keep cereal and milk here for breakfast, and bring a morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack with me every day. It doesn't have to be anything complicated - I usually bring a frozen lunch, but you may want to bring dinner leftovers if you're super worried about sodium. I don't like the idea of "I can't eat…

I'm not sure about the laws elsewhere, but I know that in California it is either going to be mandatory or it already is mandatory that if a restaurant chain has more than 20 locations, they have to have nutritional information readily available, easily accessible and plainly visible in each of their stores. Unfortunately,…

I use dressings from the Kraft Free line. My favorite is the French dressing; it has 45 calories for two tablespoons and is fat free, and two tablespoons of dressing is more than enough for a moderately sized salad.

I second the C25K... I just started it and am loving it so far.

5'5", 151 pounds 1240 calories per day I usually burn around 1,300 calories per week.

Welcome back! :D

I am the Operations Manager and Registrar Relations Manager for a domain registry.

I agree with looking things up before hand, but I know I used to visit a lot of small, family owned type restaurants that are not required to, and don't, post their nutritional information. Being that I have a better grasp on portion size now and what I can eat and need to stay away from, I tend to order smart and guess as…

This is really handy... thanks!

I may do that... I am almost always under on fat/carbs. Thanks!

I posted a similar topic to this the other day because I am almost ALWAYS over on my protein - even on days that I exercise. I'm still nowhere near 120g per day (thanks for that number, MzMoonlight), though. Anyway, the general consensus from the topic I posted was that you shouldn't really worry about it unless you have…

NOM! Sounds good. :)

I'm so sorry for your loss, friend. <3

There are red velvet cupcakes in my office right now, screaming my name! I have, thus far, been able to fill myself up with apple slices and water and have not given in. Fruit has become my new coping mechanism!

The tall skinny cinnamon dolce latte is only 90 calories. Just so you know for next time. :wink:

Yay yooooooou! :D

Sorry, but that's not true. There are sex addict meetings held all over the country as regularly as AA or NA meetings. Real people have the same problems, and real people take the same steps to recover from it. You just don't know about it because they are anonymous, as the name would indicate.

Bump. :D

YAY YOU! This bit counts as pure win in my book.

Thank you.

My whole feeling on this and the Jesse James issue: Who cares. Just because people are in the spotlight does not mean that their personal lives become fodder for our curiosity and entertainment, nor does it give us the right to speculate on what may have caused their behavior. Their personal lives should be just that -…

Baby vibes coming your way, lady. :)

I do the same thing!

They're never too old. I'm doing it as much for me as I am for my kids. :wink:

Also funny is that my ex is Filipino. Ha!

I just picked up my kit yesterday! Of course, it didn't occur to me to pick up eggs at the same time, so I'm hoping there are still some left when I go to the store tonight. I got them pretty standard Easter fare, but since they're a bit older I also put some different stuff in their baskets. For starters, their "baskets"…

Isn't it amazing what keeping track of what you're eating does? I'm way ahead of where I thought I would be because of the website and the iPhone app.
