How can I edit my sugar grams intake for the day?
It is set at 36 right now, and I would like to set it at 24. I can edit carbs and protein and fats, but can't see how to edit sugar. Is there a way..? thanks.

What are your daily carbs, fats, and protein percentages, and your fitness goals..? (lose, gain..)
Was curious what others have their daily percentages set at for carbs, fat, and protein, and also if your goal is to lose, gain, or maintain..? Thanks!!

How to quit Planet Fitness..??
When I first joined PF, the first few months were great. The gym was still brand-new to our area, so it was never busy. That was Sept-Oct-Nov-Dec of last year. Then come January, they got busy. Crazy-busy. The parking lot is usually so filled that I have to wait for someone to leave, and I am just one that is not…

Yucky cilantro in Hello Fresh box. CS just wants to issue credit for 'next time' but sadly I don't+
want to order again. The box arrived in pretty bad shape. Alright, horrible shape, really. Something leaked int he bottom of the box and the cilantro looked half wilted and smelled fishy. I did get shrimp as part of my order but the shrimp looks sealed tight. Although I am now concerned about the shrimp, too. The Hf cs rep…

Best spiralizer?
I am thinking of getting a spiralizer. Saw one in a local department store for around $15 or $20 and looked up reviews and the reviews were not favorable. I'd love to get one but not spend a small fortune on one, if that is possible..? Anybody know a good one that does not cost a small fortune..? Thanks!!!

Kettlebells..? Am I just too old school..?
I have seen these kettlebells and maybe I am just old school, but are they just a trend or what is the advantage of them over traditional dumbbells..? Should I ask Santa maybe for a last-minute kettlebell..? Thanks for any thoughts, opinions and advice!!

WHY am I having so much trouble ordering from this fundraiser..?!?!??! :((((
I wanted to order some Rada knives from my newspaper lady. I never actually 'see' her, so I left her a note asking for a catalog. She first asked this past weekend, going door to door selling hoagies and these knives. I first told her, no thanks, but then left her a note a couple days later, asking to see a catalog. She…

Rada Knives..Anybody have them..?
If anyone has these, I am curious on your thoughts (like, you genuinely bought these with your own money or were gifted them...) My newspaper delivery lady is selling these and while I don't 'need' any knives, if they are amazing I might check them out..Thanks!!!

Is this jacket/coat good for ice fishing..?
My dad is old (late 70's) and likes to ice fish. I think it is crazy for a man his age to do it, but he is stubborn and does what he wants. Anyway, I was thinking about getting this jacket for him. Didn't get him much for Christmas so it could be a late Christmas gift. But I always thought those bright orange jackets are…

Does this pork chop look done/cooked to you..?
I know it is totally random... When this was done it was all nice and golden brown but I guess once the butter sauce hit it, it looked different. I did not notice until after we ate it all and did not take another pic and I wanted to post this to a group but I am thinking it looks like it is not even cooked..?! My family…

Is this zucchini okay to use..? pic's included..from Hello Fresh kit.....:/
I got the Hello Fresh subscription box and this was our first box. The first 2 recipes, all ingredients were present and just fine. But I pulled this out tonight to check it out for tomorrow (a friend also is using Hello Fresh and we've gotten different products, same ingredients, but from different companies, etc..) and I…

Feeling so much better all-around & health issues resolving; why do doctors not 'tell' you to lose+
weight..? For years, I had a few health issues, which have greatly subsided since dropping 40 lbs. I started at 271 and now weigh 231, with a lot more to go. But already I have loads more energy (which was a big complaint when I would see the doctor), my mood has improved (which also was an issue I often mentioned at the…

Maybe I should just go back to the old food pyramid..? (half-joking..;-) )
It just seems the media and other news outlets and whatnot make us crazy with weight loss gimmicks and suddenly what works and what doesn't. I remember back in the 80's bagels were kind of popular among those 'watching' what they ate and 'dieting' and then the anti-carb notion basically deemed bagels horrendous. I remember…

21 day fix..anyone not like it..? If not, what did you not like about it..?
I am so tempted to order this, but I read some reviews on amazon about the dvd skipping, etc..So I am curious what MFP'ers have to say about it..I've been seeing people on FB post about it and am wondering if it is a sound plan or just another trend..? I am sure it obviously works for a lot of people, but curious on what…

Thoughts on Jillian Michaels..? Do you have/love any books or dvd's by her..?
I am thinking about getting one of her 'diet' books, and reviews on amazon can be mixed. Curious what MFP'ers think of some of her books and dvd's and if you feel her type of training is safe. As with so many things, to each their own, but some of her workouts seem dangerous to me, even when watching 'form'. Maybe I just…

Gym Etiquette..what to do, if anything, when a sick person works out beside you..
More times than I care to recall, when I go to Planet Fitness, someone hacking and coughing all over the place (and never covering their mouth, no less) has to pop on the treadmill beside me..,? There must be 40-50 treadmills in that place and I ALWAYS get stuck with some sick person beside me..Even if I go late at night…

What is a similar and more widely available substitute for Ezekiel bread..?
The closest store that carries it to me is over an hour away and not in an area that I would want to go to for much of anything. Is there a similar more readily available bread..? I saw something about sprouted grain bread, and some little blurb that Walmart has it, but I don't think I've ever noticed it..? Any rec's..?…

What exactly does this 'plan' involve..? (link added)
I saw this and I am not sure what it actually involves or what the heck it actually is. 1) What or how many video(s) do you get for the 'initial' $19.99..? 2) Where will the recipes be, online..? 3) Do you get actual product in-hand, or is all of the stuff online..? 4) What do you actually get for $19.99..??? 5) Is this a…

Having health-conscious family members visiting for the holidays, please share easy healthy snacks +
Not the traditional veggie platter or hummus or other standard easy fare. The family member visiting are also kind of 'fancy' and a veggie platter would be boring. They like different, but also are very health-conscious, which I can totally agree with and appreciate! :) I am okay to make something, or just buy something.…

Has anybody tried, or have any opinions on, this particular protein powder..?
The link is from the Target website. Since I've been on the hunt for protein powders and protein bars I get these little blurbs popping up all the time. http://www.target.com/p/only-protein-chocolate-grass-fed-whey-protein-powder-0-68-lb/-/A-26404110 I currently am using the Think Thin Chocolate Fudge protein bars, got…

I want to eat like a horse after my workouts anymore!! Help!!!
I don't know if it is a coincidence, but it seems since I've started using MFP, I want to eat like a horse when I come home from the gym. I go to the gym kind of late at night, around 10:00pm, and by the time I get home, it is midnight or later. Definitely not the time to be eating, let alone like a horse!! I have been…

Propel Water, good or bad..? Thoughts..?
I do like good old plain H2O, but saw this and was curious about it. A lot of times flavored waters have drawbacks or negative aspects about them that are hidden (sorry I hope you know what I mean, long day here, and I really should be in bed!). So I was just wondering if they are good or bad for you, and if there are any…

Just curious, why does it automatically tell me 854 calories when I punch in 50 minutes on treadmill
Sorry for the questions, I am new at this and am confused by a lot of it. When I type in my exercise for the day and I type in the treadmill and my minutes, say 50 minutes like I did today on the treadmill, it automatically pops up that I burned like 854 calories..??? Or yesterday when I did 40 minutes on the treadmill, it…

Last question...why does it 'add' my calories burned to my calories for the day..?
Last question..I think..? For now..? Why does it 'add' my calories burned into the alloted calories for the day..? I thought to lose weight, you had to create a deficit with exercise and calories consumed. Maybe I am old-school, but this just does not make much sense to me.. I like monitoring my food and exercise each day,…

251 grams of Protein..???
I started using myfitnesspal and it tells me every day that I am to eat 251 grams of protein. The most I have been able to do is 130, and that was a stretch and by no means foods I want to consume every day (ie, protein shakes, protein bars, grilled chicken breast for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and tons of skim…
