Who is in charge of serving sizes on packages?
I have always wondered who is in charge of serving sizes on packages. Sometimes it makes me think they do it just to mess with us! I grabbed a dill pickle half to put in my lunch and when I looked at the label for my diary and it said a serving was HALF of a HALF. Why not just say its the whole half for 10 calories? SMH!…

No time to eat my calories for the day
I seem to run out of time during the day to get food in. This has been happening alot. I am busy at work, busy when I get home from work, go to the gym after doing things at home and then its 10pm before I know it and I still have 700 calories left to eat and no time to eat it before bed, much less feeling like eating it.…

Getting tired when eating CARBS
I hope this doesn't end up a big huge debate about carbs. I just need to know if perhaps its a sign I am gluten/wheat/high carb intolerant. Lately, if I have a snack of carbs at home after dinner such a ONE serving of pretzels (17 twists) or a serving of dry cereal (ONE cup of cheerios) or a small apple, all of which are…

Who got on the scale this morning?
I did great with my eating yesterday (was below my 1200 calories for the day) and decided to jump on the scale this morning for giggles. I stayed the same, which for me is GREAT!!!!! I could have easily said "Its just one day, I'll go nuts" but I didn't. I ate everything I wanted, just smaller portions and I even ended up…

Scared of what was once considered off limit foods
I am coming from an Atkins background since 2003. Foods that were high in carbs (especially simple carbs) were off limits otherwise you would upset your whole weeks worth of hard work. I was really good at abstaining for quite a few years until life got in the way. Then it got easier and easier to just have a take out meal…

I KNOW I am not plateauing and I am not freaking out (so far) because I have been on a diet all my life and know this is normal. I just would like to know if what I am eating is on the righ track. Where…

Quantity vs Quality debate
I've been having a small debate with my dad over calories vs the quality of food. For example I still use REAL half and half because it only has milk and cream in the ingredient list (I just use less of it). He uses the fat free kind because its lower in fat and calories but his ingredient list is a mile long and includes…

Newbie
HI all! Newbie here. Been a lowcarber for over 8 years but things just got in the way and I've kinda lost my way. Thought I would try the calorie counting thing and with the support of co workers who turned me onto this website, I think I'll be ok. Today is my third day and its so far so good. I haven't yelled at anyone…
