Brown rice question
I can't cook rice. No matter what I either burn it, undercook it, or wreck a pan. I can buy frozen brown rice, but that is really expensive(for me). Does anyone know if INSTANT brown rice is as good, or even close enough health wise? The only thing that is keeping me on my diet is the ability to add 1/2 cup cooked noodles,…

Need some help
I am starting to use the exercise recording. But does it only give calorie burns for aerobic exercise? And not include strength training? I mean I can record the strength training but that's it right?

I think it is because instead of eating I have been drinking tons of water, and iced green tea. So between the fullness and the caffeine…

Three shredded chicken soft tacos fresco style(no cheese…
