moon pops??
I was in my local grocery store yesterday and this machine that looked like a popcorn or tortilla maker machine was popping out these rice cake type of things. The guy behind the machine let me try one and it was crunchy.. airy.. kind of flavorless. But bought a pack anyway because I could tell it would be good with…

How off are the treadmills at the gym?
Does anyone know approximately how off the gym treadmills are? The ones where you enter weight & age can't be too far off right? What about the ones that do not ask? For the ones that ask I normally round down, so if it says 208 I record 200. For the ones that don't ask I take off 50 calories when recording... How accurate…

Mango's are my new favorite fruit!
I had a mango for the first time yesterday since I was a kid, back then I tried one piece and thought it was disgusting. It was soo much better than I remember, maybe the first one wasn't ripe enough. How do most people eat them? Like an apple? That didn't seem to work so well for me. I tried cutting it down the center in…

Is it more important to hit daily or weekly goals?
I basically eat under my calories on week days, then go kind of crazy on Thursday-Saturday. Is it ok to do this, or unhealthy? Take a look at my diary to see what I mean.

strawberries
Strawberries are the one food I can not control myself around (ok maybe pizza and wings when I'm drunk). I eat like 20 sometimes at once. It feels like I'm gorging. Is this gorging? My tummy feels heavy, and extra full after. What is a "normal" amount of strawberries for people?

It's hard to find that perfect medium :/
I lost about 30 lbs since this time last year. It's hard to go out of, "diet" mode at times. This really is a lifestyle change. I'm 5'6 105-110 lbs and don't think I should be losing anymore weight. I do cardio everyday except twice a week when I see a personal trainer for strength training. I know I should be focusing on…

Which is not as bad? diet/liquor question
My go to drink at bars are normally bud light platinum, diet coke and a liquor, or diet lime soda and tequila. Would it be better to go back to something like cranberry and vodka instead of the artificial sweeteners in diet soda's? Are these artificial sweeteners in all diet drinks, like diet cranberry? I guess the only…

Am I getting enough protein on workout days?
I did strength training today and already logged everything for today, from my diary today does it look like I get enough protein for building muscle? I'm worried about eating too many calories and gaining weight back. In addition to saving calories for Vegas next week. I'm 5'6 110 lbs trying to tone, not become ripped.

Does it look as bad as it feels?
I went to a concert last night and seriously fudged up. Well not with fudge... You know what I'm saying. Look at my diary and tell me if it's as bad as it feels? I don't feel hungover, just yucky about the choices I made last night. Mostly the drink mixers, I normally choose diet over sugary juices... Not to mention all…

How many cups of beans in a typical mexican dish?
How many cups are typically in a Mexican dish at a restaurant? Going out this weekend and want to know approximately how many to log. Huge difference between 1 cup and 8 cups, and I'm clueless. This would be for pinto or black beans. How many would you guess or do you log for Mexican rice also? I don't normally eat the…

How do you know what activity level to set MFP at?
I'm not sure if I should set it at sedentary or lightly active. I run on a treadmill for about 30 minutes at 5.5 mph 2-3 times a week, and see a personal trainer for strength training 2 times a week but I do not log either. Other than that I would consider myself sedentary... Thoughts?

Leftover calories at the end of the week
So I went a little crazy last night ((look at the diary if you want)) :) I went like 900 over on daily goal, but was still like 800 under on weekly goal. Is this ok to do? Or does daily matter more? I'm 5'6 110 lbs, I have my account set to maintain, MFP is telling me 1700, does this seems a little high to anyone else??

Which app to get at Panda Express?

How would you rate my diary?
Just curious what people on here think about my diary? It's open. I know I need to drink less alcohol. Maybe eat less candy? It's valentines day candy.

Foods you have cut out entirely
I'm all for everything you want in moderation, but what foods do you just not like anymore that you use to love? For me: Mayo ((I stopped for a couple of months, now I can't stand the sight of it, use to put it on everything)) Cheese on cheeseburgers ((Go hamburgers, so much better that way)) or cheese on anything really.…

Light beer or diet soda and liquor?
Which is better overall? I know beer and liquor/diet soda's are both a no no.. Which which is the lesser of the two evils. By light beer I mean bud light, bud light lime, corona light, ect... And by liquor with diet soda I mean a full 1.5 oz shot and any diet soda combo. I'm asking because diet soda has a bad rep for fake…

Trinessa?
I started taking the birth control trinessa last night. I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with this BC? Weight gain? Depression? Acne? Good experiences? Bad?

What causes random kitchen raiding tendencies?
So I just went on a mindless binge in the kitchen. Not horrible, a serving of cupcake goldfish, one girl scout cookie, and a small bag of baked chips. Can certain parts of your normal diet have something to do with this? Feel free to look at my diary if you need something to go off of. Just curious, thanks. It felt like my…

Semi good for you brownie sunday
I had this great idea when I was drinking/eating a horribly high calorie brownie and be and jerries mix last night. If you heat up a fiber one brownie ((90 calories)) and put a scoop of non fat/low calorie ice cream, it wouldn't be that bad for you. Not to mention the fiber and calcium :) Has anyone tried this?

Starbucks skinny iced mocha
A tall iced skinny mocha is only 70 calories. It has 2 grams of fiber, 7 grams of protein, 20% iron, and 20% calcium... Could this be considered a healthy choice?? More so in the sense of nutrients than choosing a low cal option, even though it is.

Title= It feels like I ate a lot yesterday but did not even come close to calorie goal. Check out my open diary if you want. On days that I do not consume alcohol, it's really hard to hit my goal without feeling like I am gorging. I think part of me wants to save the calories for the weekend. Thoughts? Does anyone else…

Girl Scout Cookies
Growing up when it was girl scout cookie season we had multiple boxes of every kind in the house. My mom would even freeze them to last longer. I was at a bar on Saturday night with the boyfriend and a group of adults were selling girl scout cookies behind us for their kids ((BEST idea ever btw)). So I bought a box, and…

Question About Smoothies
So everyone is telling to to have smoothies after a workout. The one I just had was 229 calories, 23 grams of protein, and 25 grams of sugar ((assuming from the strawberry and banana put in it)) with 28 grams of carbs. Is this good or bad? It was 24 oz and sooo yummy! I don't understand how this is better than the 100…
