Liquid Eggs help
So, I accidentally bought a carton of liquid eggs instead of egg whites at the store yesterday. Didn't realize it until I cracked it open this morning and wondered why my egg whites were yellow! I don't really eat whole eggs unless they are hard boiled, but I need to use this carton that I paid for! Anybody have any…

Steering clear of the scale...
... but for how long? I have been seriously back on the calorie-counting train for about a month now. Down 8lbs. Last week, I started incorporating exercise in, and I almost immediately noticed a couple pounds of gain. This morning, I stepped on the scale again and saw no change. I know that things fluctuate in the…

Rutabaga
Help! My fiance loves rutabaga, so I bought one at the store today just for him. The only problem is I have NO CLUE what to do with it! I have checked Pinterest, but it seems to be one of those things you can do just about anything with. I need a good, solid, tried and true jumping-off point recipe-wise. So... how do you…

Dinner Recipes
I need some good ideas for dinner recipes for a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy. Fiance and I are both on this journey together, and due to work schedules we only get a day or two a week together. This weekend, he is coming over and asked me if I'd cook for us. I love to cook and know a few calorie-friendly things to make,…

Aldi?
I have seen a lot of people mention shopping at Aldi, and some of my friends' diaries has some Aldi foods in it. So, I'm wondering... what is it that you find so great about Aldi? And, no, I don't mean that in a smarty pants kinda way. I really want to know what you go to Aldi for that you consider must-haves or staples in…

Workout at home for a beginner
Ok. I'm looking for some tips on working out at home for a beginner. Currently, I walk and do some cardio on fitnessblender. However, I want to incorporate some strength training as well. I, like a lot of people, used to be pretty athletic. I have done some minor weight lifting for health and have joined a gym and taken…

Guesstimating food
How do you handle situations where you are truly guessing when entering a food item? For example... I was with family today for my nephew's birthday. I managed to read some labels and correctly log most things. But some homemade items I just guessed at. I entered something like "homemade coleslaw" and scanned through the…

Three days down! It's a start, right??
So, I'm not necessarily new to MFP, but I have been away. I lost about 40lbs last year and stupidly put it mostly back on. I actually want/need to lose 100 and more. I've been back at it for 3 days, and something feels different this time. I'm obsessed with the forums, and I've friended some people for a less solitary…

Plan it or wing it?
Just curious who plans their day ahead of time (AKA logs the day's food in the morning/the night before and follows that) and who just goes with the flow? And why? Sometimes I start entering things in advance, but that's mostly figure out how many extra calories I'm going to have for the day if I plan to make something…
