Juice based protein drink?
My teenage son is coming up to exam season and I'm worried as he won't eat breakfast and has hardly any lunch. He is very tall 6' 2" and thin BMI is only around 15 I'm guessing. The only thing I can get him to touch in the morning is a glass of juice unfortunately he doesn't drink milk either. I was wondering if there was…

GOAL!!!!
Wow. After 6 months I have, this morning, reached my goal weight of 10st (140lbs) down from 12st 7lb (175lbs). All thanks to MFP. I think I must be a bit of a freak as I have followed the instructions exactly, including eating my exercise calories and have lost weight on target nearly the whole time with only small…

Another look at the Sugar issue
OK, I know there are millions of threads on sugar, but I think I've come to a realisation about MFP's sugar levels that seems important to me and so I thought I'd share. I've always found the MFP limit for sugar very restrictive (for me on 1430 calories it is only 29g), this has resulted in me eating very little fresh…

Entering Sodium in food warning
Just thought I'd bring up a slight problem I've encountered with some food database entrys for sodium that I feel people entering and using the data should be aware of. When entering data please note that 1g = 1000mg. Thus if the nutrient value on the box says 0.8g you need to enter 800mg not 80mg as I''ve noticed a few…

Good website for nutritional content of food
One problem I have found with using Myfitnesspal is it does discourage me from eating fruit as it is so packed with sugar and the beneficial nutrients are not obvious. I decided to do more research to see how the data actually stacks up between the nutritional contents of different fruits and vegetables. In my search I…

My first NSV
My first goal in losing weight was to get to a healthy BMI of 25, I thought I had a lb to go but on a hunch last night I double checked my height and realised I was actually an inch taller than I thought, it turns out I've been at a healthy BMI for 20 days already, go figure. Sadly although I've lost over a stone it hasn't…

Suggestions for snack with no fat and no sugar
At the end of the day I often have calories to spare but I've blown out my fat and sugar rations, can anyone suggest a good snack that's mostly complicated carbs and maybe just a little protein?
