Spark Energy Drink
I have heard that this energy drink is very affective, but I also read it is full of synthetic ingredients, which is obviously bad. I am not sure which is correct. Is there anyone here that is familiar with this drink and its effect/safety?

Stir Crazy Restaurant
Anyone ever eaten there? What did you order and how did you like it? The website has a couple "healthy" choices, but nothing real appetizing.

This many calories?

I do want to put those calories burned into my diary, so to be sure I don't over-estimate, I just put 2 hours walking; I mean in a museum your stopping and going and what not.

Not monitoring macros, just calories?
Does anyone not watch their macros, but just their calories? I kinda notice them at the end of the day but I don't consider them when planning meals, I don't worry if they are in the red at the end of the day. I am concerned that I am doing this whole thing wrong if I am not. I mean they must be importaint if MFP gives us…

Nuts....Good or bad?
I always hear ppl say nuts are a very healthy snack. But, they are super high in calories! I usually choose almonds as my nut snack of choice, but they are 170 calories in just a quarter cup. So what's the benefit of eating nuts? Anybody?

Please tell me some ways to prepare tuna and/or any other fish so it doesn't taste too "fishy". I used to eat fish only if it was battered, fried and smothered in tartar sauce. Please give me your best fish ideas!

If you could eat anything and not gain weight...
What would it be? I would choose a greasy cheeseburger, fries and chocolate shake. A huge plate of chicken enchiladas with all the trimmings topped off with fried ice cream. Or, a veggie ponzeratta from Jimmys Grotto (local restaurant)

Protein Shakes?
Which ones do u use? I've never had any, but I would like one to have as an in-between snack. Also, I read ppl drink them after workouts, not sure why? I want one that tastes decent too, otherwise, I won't drink it n just waste all that money. Any suggestions?

I WILL go over my calories today
Yes, I am going to make an excuse, my birthday is tomorrow and we are going to Red Robin tonight. My sons birthday is on Wednesday, so I have a cake for him. As I was cutting it up, my hand went out of control and shoved a piece straight into my mouth. It was sooo good but sooo bad! I can't resist cake :( As for dinner…

Muslim brothers and sisters on here?
Just thought I would make a thread for us, although anyone is welcome to post of course! Might be nice to talk about things like modesty in the gyms, and logging our sometimes-not-so-American foods, which is sometimes hard to find in the databases :) Lets swap halal recipes, chit-chat and support eachother!

Questions about calories?
I'm sure its been asked dozens of times on here, but I am new so I haven't seen it. Okay, if your on a 1200 calorie diet, and say you burn 600 at the gym. Does that mean you can eat 1800 calories that day and still loose the 1 lb a week?
