P90X - does it have to be every day?
I saw the informercial for P90X the other night, and I am really interested in it, but I can't commit to an hour a day. Does anybody do it only once or twice a week?

like an NSV, I've had an NPV!
NPV - Non Planned Victory! Lowering my sodium has never been one of my goals. However, in the last few weeks I have noticed that when I salt my food like I usually do, the end result tastes too salty. So now, I have cut down on my salt because my taste has naturally lessened, and my food tastes great! Whee!! :smile:

Is overcooked salmon still nutritious?
This probably goes under the Stupid Question Bigtime Category, but - (I hang my head in shame at such a question, but I have to ask) I have a bad habit of overcooking my salmon. Does it still have the desired nutritional value? Or have the omega-3s cooked out?

in honor of Banks.....
In honor of Banks, and many other well-spoken MFP members who have all written about the importance of eating the right calories, watching the BMR, et al, I have changed my goals from 2-lb a week to 1-lb a week.

garam masala - nuff said
My new favorite spice blend is garam masala. Inspired to try it from a recent episode of Good Eats. I bought about 1/4 cup at Whole Foods for $0.45 (they sell tons of spices in bulk). It is a wonderful Indian flavor that right now I'm putting on chicken and veggies, then roasting them. I would think that it is good on any…
