MFP app malfunction - check your stuff!
I've been feeling blah for a couple days and some friends help me discover that what I'm seeing in my diary on my phone is different from what they see. In fact, the difference was huge.

She said to eat more veggies and fruits and less processed foods and my grains needed to be whole grains. That's about all she offered in terms of advice about my eating, so…

Guess how many carbs. .
Went to a Chinese buffet and kinda stuffed myself. I'm hoping my carb range was somewhere between 50-75. I had a salad (slice of onion and 5 cherry tomatoes included) with ranch dressing. I had 2 plates of other food that included meats and few veggies like broccoli and bell pepper with sauces and 2 slices of cantaloupe. I…
