Spreading workout over the day
Hey, I was curious about the effects of spreading out a workout. Between commuting and work itself, I spend 14-20 hours away from home and any ability to hit a gym. So I purchased some small equipment that I keep at work, whatever I can do with free weights and such. The thing is I can't set aside a significant time. The…

Greek Yogurt Dessert
Hey guys, Did a search, not liking the results. So, I need some help. I searched, no results on MFP and everything elsewhere is either using it in baked goods, or "add fruit and enjoy." I'm bored of tossing in berries. It's good, enjoyable, but time for something different. That said if it is something different, but has…

Walking and recovery from
Hey guys, I walk between 5 and 7 miles daily during my lunch break, and on my days off do maybe 20 miles on the bicycle. The past few weeks my legs have had an odd feeling, best I can describe it is a constant tiredness, a kind of rubbery feeling in the knee joint; with a little pain when I wake up, that goes away maybe…

Peanut Butter
This one actually is tough to do a search on... I usually do my own in a food processor... looking for some different stuff to try. Pretty much all searches come with with recipes that use peanut butter, like cookies, cakes, etc. I'm looking for recipes for making peant butter itself. Maple syrup, cinnamon, chocolate,…

Adding carbs/cutting fiber?
Hey guys, I'm looking for some suggestions. I have been looking to maintain the past few months, and to some degree successfully. However I have noticed the past few weeks I fall short of my carb goal by 30-40g per day, and my fiber tends to be 20-40g over per day. I end each day with a 50-100 calorie deficit. I'd like to…

Cut for a Slow Cooker Beef Soup or Stew (Pressure Cooker too)
Ok, I know my cuts of beef, but I don't. Kinda. Last winter I made this really good beef and barley soup in the slow cooker. Haven't done it lately. I would buy a nice cut of beef (more suitable for a roast) at the supermarket. I realize now I'm wasting to potential of the slow cooker or a pressure cooker (I have both) by…

Non dairy "frozen yogurt"
Hey guys, I came across this one purely by accident, I hope it works for you as well as it did for me. I was trying to make a non dairy pudding for a friend who must now go dairy free. I like to experiment, figured I'd give it a go. I mixed some "Greek yogurt pudding mix" that I found in the desert aisle of the supermarket…

Sleep and deficits!
I figured I'd ask here, as at work we're going through a few changes as far as medical stuff. I'm going to see a doctor, just may take some time now. I read a lot about long term deficits and it messing with the hormones. This is something my nutritionist (who is no longer available) never mentioned to me in the year I was…

Ever use your kitchen scale to check the store?
Just curious if anyone's ever done this just because you have your own scale? On Saturday I bought some carrots: two 2lb bags to be exact. They felt light, then on zero reading scale in store... Just under 2 lbs but close enough. Get home, forget about it until this morning. Pull out the bags, zero my scale and still in…

Logging something used as flavoring
I tried searching for this, found no results. How does one go about logging something used solely for flavoring? I'll give an example: I was making a lentil soup, and went to the local market. There I found pig's feet, and not knowing much about pig's feet but knowing various bones get used for flavoring, figured maybe…

Stuck long term at work with emergency work... how to deal, what to bring to keep on track?
I really couldn't find anywhere else to ask this, I hope it's ok here. We in the Mid-Atlantic's got a heck of a storm coming. In my job, last time this happened a few years back, I got stuck at work for over 72 hours. We're not allowed to sleep, it's against the workplace rules, and that rule was enforced. So, I'm looking…

Logging on an odd schedule (kind of long)
Hey, Ok, I really should have posted this before the new year, as I expected to change how I recorded my daily habits on January 1, but I only thought of it yesterday, and I wanted some opinions. I work nights. This presents a bit of a logistical problem with recording at times. I What's breakfast to me is dinner to…

Hey Hey!
Ok, now that I've got that very creative title out of the way... I figured I'd introduce myself here, as I just joined. I've been working to lose weight for the past year, down to 185 from nearly 250 last November. I have been doing so with the help of a nutritionist, but figured instead of just relying on her I could also…
