Jerky recipes
Every jerky recipe I find uses soy sauce or teriyaki. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas on how to prepare jerky. Beef, pork, turkey, chicken ideas are all good, but I want another flavor besides soy. I will be using a convection oven at low heat to make my jerky

Worst diet advice/misinformation that you have heard
Back when I was in college several of us were in a group, two girls broke off and were talking on their own. One girl was saying how she had really cut back on fats and oils.The other girl said she had to eat fats and oils, they were important, they help you [have a bowel movement]. Apparently she thought that oil…

Favorite Greek Yogurt (In the U.S.A.)
This is probably a U.S. only question. I am using Stoneyfield organic Greek yogurt but it is on the expensive side, I don't think the stores I go to sell a non-organic variety. I had a store brand that was awful, I ate it for breakfast and it felt like putty in my stomach for half the day. It was the same ingredients as…

How many calories is that?
I have been eating turkey bacon once and a while, turkey sausage or small ham slices for breakfast. I have not had real bacon in a long time. While shopping the other day I looked at the label of a package of bacon, the label was hard to read, blue text on clear plastic but over all the nutritional information looked much…

Lost doll (that I found)
This is a good a place as any. I was traveling over the weekend, was at a rest stop and found a doll. I am sure some little girl misses the doll very much so the more people this reaches the better. If you know who lost the doll let me know I will get it back to the owner. You need to tell me where you think you lost the…

Oil Free Salad Dressings
I enjoy salads but the dressings are a lot of high fat/high calorie and oil based. I was wondering if anyone has recipes for oil free salad dressings. I like fresh rather than bottled. This afternoon I came up with a buttermilk and Dijon mustard dressing. The only two ingredients, buttermilk and Dijon mustard. You can salt…

I am more hungry on days I don't exercise
On the days I can not get to the gym, and I don't log any exercise, I end up being more hungry at the end of the day. People tell me to eat back at least some of my burned calories but I am never hungry enough. I don't do anything strenuous, 60 minutes on the treadmill, steep incline, just over 3mph. The machine says I…

Rest Days - Treadmill
I used the search and briefly went through the results, 'rest days' seemed to focus on strength training. I know it is important to give your body rest days in strength training but I want to know if rest days are important for cardo or walking. Is it important to give your body rest days if you walk? If so one or two rest…

I always forget to log...
Is there anything you routinely forget or miss logging? I don't always log my water, and I count my ice tea (lemon, no sugar) as a water. I don't remember to log herbs and spices. I make my own spice mixes but I don't remember how much of each ingredient I used when I made it. (Oregano, basil, etc.) I like lemon pepper, I…
