Roadmap Calorie Help
I need some help/recommendations for my roadmap calories. I know the roadmap works as it worked for me before, but life happened (baby, work, etc.) and I need to get back on track. I know the basics like "no added exercise calories" and "don't eat below your current BMR." I ran the calculations and for a middle ground goal…

Canning Pancake Batter
Sooooo..... I've read up on how to make my own rice flour and how to use it then for pancakes. Thing is, the pancake batter has to sit for an hour in order to use it (or overnight in the fridge). If I mixed a batch up and let it sit overnight, anyone see a problem with vacuum sealing it in a mason jar (kept in fridge) for…

Food Allergy?
Does anyone know if you can be allergic to a food (like tartar sauce) without be allergic to any of the individual ingredients? Also, could you be allergic to one brand of mayo and not another? I'm allergic to something from our dinner last night/lunch today, but there are no "new" ingredients that I haven't had in the…

Ladies, It's not about the sugar....
Ladies, When TOM strikes and you go all ape and try to kill the poor guy stocking the chocolate shelf, you aren't doing it for the sugar. Really, it's NOT about the sugar. Women in general are more likely to be anemic (iron deficient) than men are. This is heightened whenever TOM strikes. You are losing iron by the second!…

What are "good carbs" vs. "bad carbs"?
Hi, I've been on MFP fro 6 months now. I'm still learning all the nutrition stuff. Recently began tracking my sugar and finally have that under control. But, I have noticed that my carbs are always super high (well, usually at least 40% of what I eat-- I'd like to get that down to 30%). I looked at my diary and saw that…

Sore muscles
Will eating more protein (whether lean meats, peanut butter or a protein shake) keep your muscles from becoming sore after a workout?

Quaker Quick Oats
I tried Quaker Quick Oats with Peanut Butter this morning. The taste A+ but the texture? F!!!! They were HORRIBLE. I need some tips. I make these at work with hot water from the coffee machine and let them sit for probably like 10 minutes before I ate them. They were total mush! A sticky mess. The oats weren't recognizable…

I work with Butt-crack Santa!
Only true Twihards would appreciate this as much as me... A coworker of mine, gave everyone a little bottle of liquor for Christmas. Immediately in my head I hear "Kids love those little bottles though." Thank you, Mr. Waylon Forge. I shall henceforth refer to said coworker as Butt-crack Santa. Oh, and he is tall skinny…

Confusion over BMR
I am confused.... I went online and found the equation to calculate how many calories my body should naturally burn if I laid in bed all day doing nothing (actually wish that I could do that on occassion lol). That number is 1466. My BMR on here is 1840 based on a sedentary lifestyle. I have a desk job so walking back and…

Being Cold?
Am I the only one like this? When I am physically COLD, it makes me hungry! Not just a little "I could use a snack hungry," but an intense, "OMG! Where's the food!" hungry. Does anyone else get affected this way? It isn't "cold" where I am right now. Well, it shouldn't be. But our offices are FREEZING! Every woman in the…

6-7:30 PM
Hi, I'm fairly new to the site. This is my first forum topic. I need advice on fighting the cravings between the time I get home (5:45) and the time my Hubby gets home (7:30ish). I could dinner. I don't feel right not eating dinner with him, but he gets home TOO LATE! I am STARVING by the time that he gets home. I do…
