How do I access MyFitness recipe database?
I keep adding my recipes to the database, but how do you find other people's recipes? Also, I've been adding them to the database just so my husband can use them in his calorie tracker profile without me having to add all the ingredients two times (we're jack spratt and wife, nice to meet you- if we could trade weights,…

Monster delicious hot salad! (vegan, 135 cals)
12 Sungold tomatoes, 1 c. fennel bulb, 1 c. green beans, and 1.c cauliflower, steamed in a tiny bit of water with sea salt, and served over a whole head of baby butterleaf lettuce! The tomatoes make sort of a brothy dressing and I can't get enough. SO YUMMY and filling and only 135 calories (for those of you who care)! For…

Looking for new vegetarian mfp buds!
Hey guys!! I was gone for six months, and I'm so excited to be back, but most of my good motivational mfp friends are gone! I need more vegetarian/vegan pals, preferably with open diaries for shared inspiration! Thanks so much!

Homemade pizza... for a fat wife and a skinny husband :)
We have a wood-burning oven, and always cook on cast-iron... when it's cold, i LOVE to make pizza in the stove. it makes me feel like a pioneer princess!! and when i'm making my own dough and my own sauce, I can be totally neurotic about ingredients... and exactly how big and how caloric each pie is gonna be! I don't know…

Why I'm not counting anything today...
Baking extravaganza at the inlaws... All organic and vegan, just to prove to them that it could be done. A very successful endeavor, but I definitely ate too much of my own creations to call this anything but a "free day". But it's great, because I used up my "free day" credit for the week, which means that no matter what…

i want more veggie friends with visible diaries!
Hey! I LOVE looking at people's diaries (is that voyeuristic? nosy?) and I love getting good healthy vegetarian ideas and I love the comradarie that is being built through this site. I thought I might combine these interests in a general advertisement for more mfp buddies. I'm a mom, a college student, a wife, a…

tiny triumph
ok, this is my third week on mfp and this is just a teeny tiny triumph, but it was the first change i've REALLY noticed, so i thought I'd share... because the tiny triumphs add up! right? i've been riding a bike at the gym as part of my cardio workout, and i do a 20 minute "alpine" program on level 8 (of 20). It usually…

Tips on eating at friend's houses... ?
Hi! So... i had a difficult evening, staying within my calorie goal while visiting a friend's house for dinner. I'm curious if anyone has tips on eating out, or eating at other people's homes, and not being rude while maintaining your calorie goals. I was trying to surreptitiously add things up on my phone, but we were out…

A little fun snacky tip from a hippie :)
So... I just started in with this website a few days ago... and came up with a fun way to keep eating what i like without being naughty... I've been having these massive "holy moly!" moments, actually paying attention to how quickly all my favorite snacks add up (green tea with honey and rice milk = 200 calories?! woah!).…

Gauging actual calorie burn
So... I've been logging some very quick (20-60 min) exercises here for two days, and it seems like the amount of calories I'm supposedly burning (according to mfp) couldn't possibly be accurate. For instance, it gave me the same amount of calories burned for bowling as it did for jogging- no way. And I rode a stationary…

wondering about that 1200 calorie thing...
I understand that this site probably can't legally recommend that anyone eat less than 1200 calories a day, but I'm feeling like I ate plenty and have about 1000 calories logged for the day. I'm not hungry, I'm not interested in any more food, and I don't like to eat this late anyway. I'm SURE this is a hot-button topic,…

Hi! I'm a freshie...
So... I've literally never considered a calorie counting system, or a community surrounding weight loss, before tonight. In fact, I don't think I've ever consciously dieted before, ever. I eat great but don't exercise. That and my genes combined are my downfall, so here I am at 28, approaching 190 lbs... eep! A friend…

Feeding three always-starving skinny boys AND myself...?
So... all the boys in my family (my husband and two sons) are all so so skinny and super duper active, and we're really strict vegetarians, so I literally have to think of every possible way to get calories into them (protein shakes between meals, lots of olive and coconut oil in the food, an egg a day, etc etc. )... and…
