Five years
I joined My Fitness Pal on 23 February, 2018. Today marks five years. Guess what? IT WORKS!!!! Before I was on MFP, I was using a service from the US Department of Agriculture called "SuperTracker." It was non-commercial. It was much more klunky than MFP, but it was a public resource. I had some success. I was happy with…

Additional calories used when carrying a load
OK, so here's a weird one. I can go to sailrabbit and play around with getting a different TDEE based on how much I weigh and what my activity level is.

Diary/Database Frustration/Fail. Have you had one yet?
I decided to whip up something simple tonight. I couldn't decide if I wanted split peas or lentils. I made an easy decision; both! They cook for different amounts of time, but that's easy to manage. I started with a mirepoix and added mushrooms and garlic. When the garlic just started to be aromatic, I added enough water…

Something broken on the servers
A while back, I accepted a friend request from another user. After I did that, I could no longer see that user's profile. Very odd. I would get an error message. I reported it, but there was no follow up. I just had this happen again with a different user. Not sure what's up. This is the error I get: Running Windows 11 and…

Leftovers and food safety
There are a number of good resources on how long it is safe to store foods including leftovers. The USDA is the go-to resource in the USA. The USDA is also pretty conservative because they really don't want anyone to get sick. They recommend keeping leftovers no more than three or four days in the refrigerator. Many foods…
