Sports nutrition- best food for state soccer tryout
What kids friendly food is best to eat before my 11 year old's state soccer tryout? Due to drive time to the field, she will eat dinner are 4pm with tryouts from 7-10pm. I was thinking baked chicken, broccoli, and some Mac-n-cheese (Kraft)??? But I don't know if that's good for this level of activity.

The Biggest Loser
Just wondering how some of you feel about the news story about the 6 year study done on the Biggest Loser contestants and why they regain the weight. It was a big New York Times article a couple of days ago. They say there is validity to the science of a significantly slowed metabolism when cutting calories. It's worth…

Open Food Diary? Why/why not?
Just wondering if you have an open food diary? Why or why not? I think this would be the ULTIMATE in accountability but I can't bring myself to do it.

How can I search for a specific friend? I can't even find a search function. Also does she have to be a premium member? Are the free and pay MFPs the same?

Question about Fats???
I'm noticing a lot of foods are labeled as high fat but have low saturated fat. I always feel bad when I go over on my overall fat grams. Is something with 18g of fat but only 2 or 3 grams of saturated fat still healthy? Not sure which one I should pay attention to more?
