A general Food Database
Hi Is there such thing as a general food database on MFP, one that includes cals, carbs, protein etc etc? I ask this as I would like to plan my food in advance and ideally would like to scroll through looking for an item that I may like to try. For example I could scroll through Breads and be able to pick which bread would…

Too much sugar - advice needed
Okay - After being on a plateau for what seems like ages, then losing the plot completely for a week or so I am starting to wonder why ????? I have realised that my daily intake of just under 1400 cals (I am 55 female currently weight 138lbs, and 5'3 in) is mostly made up of low fat but high sugar foods - so called health…

Bingo Wings
I have lost 10lbs and I swear most of this has gone from underneath my upper arms.... bingo wings, flaps, huge saggy bags that wobble at the slightest movement. Question: how do I get rid of them........? I am 55 so I dont hold out much hope - I would imagine that by now my skin / arms / muscle (what muscle?), flab or…

Breakfast ideas please
Hi Can anyone recommend a breakfast cereal that is under 200 cals but also very filling (other than porridge). OR can anyone recommend a breakfast that is just as quick, low in cals and very filling. I eat breakfast about 7.15 and by 10 I am feeling hungry - that's when the temptation for snacking comes in. If I could find…

Why is it that ...
Sometimes... unfortunately I get to the stage where if I'm the slightest bit over my 1200 my BRAIN says "stuff it" - you've blown it now - might as well stuff your face....... and sometimes when I just eat what I want, when I want and not count calories I lose weight...............what's going on !!! :huh: Jules

bloated
What are the typical foods that tend to make you bloat? Some days I feel so bloated that I could pop - strangely I also feel hungry and the foods I have eaten are different every day so I cant pin point anything in particular. If other people say what they feel makes them bloat I may get some sort of clue what the cause of…

53 with a knee of 100
I feel like I'm getting old before my time - or to be more precise - my knee's are letting me down.:grumble: I dislocated my knee when i was a teenager and it's never been as strong as it should be. Just before Christmas it started playing up - subluxing (nearly but not quite dislocating) and locking. Now I've got to go…

CARBS
I am ALWAYS over on my carbs... What should they be set at? I notice peeps on here have a higher carb allowance than me and yet they're still on the same number of calories. My carbs is set at 120 and my calories per day is 1200. Any ideas what the average (healthy) carb intake should be.? (Not talking about a low carb…

measurements
Hi there Does anyone know if there is a tool to use on this site to convert measurements? For example - as I am in the UK I use grams to weigh food. Quite a lot of food items has the "cup" measurement. I have no idea whatsover what the equivalent to the american "cup" is. Any help anyone. x:frown:

how come?
Okay. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here. My weight loss goal is set at 1/2 lb a week on a diet of 1200 calories a day. I have been able to keep this up (yeah) and after about 2 months or so I have lost 4lbs. :happy: I'm fine with this because 1. I've read that the slower you lose weight the slower you gain it back…

cauliflower cheese
Hi Did anyone watch the hairy bikers make their cauliflower cheese last night? It looked awsome. Trouble is they used full fat milk, double cream and gruyere cheese in the making of it. I would love to make a low fat version. Does anyone know what I should substitute the double cream and the guyere cheese with? Obviously I…

squash - UK question.
Hi everyone I've just seen a post mentioning spaghetti squash. Does anyone know if you can get this in the UK? I used to live in South Africa and this was available there but under a different name, (cant remember what) and it was lovely. I also loved the gem squashes there (they look like green stripy tennis balls) -…

help needed
Hi Is there any way to search on the recipe section for a specific recipe - ie: like doing a search for a lamb, or stew or soup recipe for instance. It may be that it's there but that I'm too daft to see it. Thanks

ideas
Hi there I'm new here. Been yoyo dieting for years. I always get stuck on what to take to work for lunch, I end up taking the same thing day after day (usually cup a soup or in the summer a salad), I get so bored that I end up in the works restaurant pigging out or eating crisps. I share an office so no fish or egg based…
