Meal kits: what's the point?
IMO it's just as easy to go to the store, buy a bag of salad mix and a can of tuna or a box of pasta and some cooked chicken. Why are people spending $X.XX dollars a month on meal kits like Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, etc.

Cheeseaholics (not-so) Anonymous
Cheese-lovers rejoice - this thread is for you. If you're anything like me, you could talk about (and eat) cheese all day and never tire of it. So I dedicate this thread to all my cheese-loving friends to post and fantasize about cheese, because a life without cheese is no life at all.

Fruit: is it necessary?
"EAT 4 SERVINGS OF FRUIT PER DAY BECAUSE HEALTH!!!" "FRUIT IS GOOD FOR YOU EAT MORE FRUIT!" "I'M SO HEALTHY BECAUSE I EAST FRUIT!!!" Okay, okay don't get me wrong... I get that it's "healthy" because of the fiber, vitamins and minerals - but it also has plenty of (natural) sugar. I eat plenty of vegetables but veer away…

Over weekly calorie goal
The past few weeks I've been averaging approx. 500 calories OVER my maintenance calorie goal. Starting to get concerned as I can see myself gaining weight as a result. Just don't want to get stuck in the habit of eating over maintenance as I know this will be hard to break (been there!). Grr. Just disappointed.

Weight Watchers - zero point foods?
Nearly all fruits and vegetables are zero smart points, meaning dieters can eat them endlessly. I have a hard time understanding/agreeing with this.

HATE sharing food (even with family)
Anyone else get super uncomfortable/anxious/defensive/mean when others ask if they can have some of your food? IDK maybe it's just me being weird.

Owning up to it
Have to be honest with myself: I've fallen off track recently. I have been looking to food as a source of comfort which has resulted in me going over my weekly goal. My daily goal for maintenance is 1,850 + approx 70% of my exercise calories (I burn anywhere from 700 to 1,200 calories a day with exercise). I've found…

Entire can of Fat Free Reddi Whip
Ended up having an entire can of fat free Reddi Whip as a macro-caper last night (with 100g of strawberries). An entire can has ~185 calories (probably more because of rounding). Anyone else do this? No guilt. :D

How do you deal with unmeasured food?
I typically overestimate. For example, I am at a BBQ so obviously can't bring a food scale to weigh out proper servings. Just had what I believe to be one serving of fresh shrimp, bu entered 1.5 servings just to be safe. What do you do when you're in these situations?

Chicken thigh
177 calories per 100 grams compared to 165 calories in chicken breast. Higher in fat, but fat is on-trend lately. Love my grilled chicken breasts, but have been enjoying thighs lately too. What's your favorite cut of chicken?
