how much water to compensate for sodium?
Hello all! I'm living in Japan and forced to eat school lunch every day, all of it. Which is pretty tasty, though the calories run up to 1000 for one meal sometimes and 6000mg of sodium. The recommended amount of sodium for one day on MFP is 2500mg for a day. Does anyone know how much extra water I should drink per 1000mg…

Article: 'Diet glasses' fool wearers into eating less
Found this on a Japanese news site - goggles that make cookies look bigger, and makes food look like chocolate or strawberry. Hmmm... http://www.japantoday.com/category/lifestyle/view/diet-glasses-fool-wearers-into-eating-less

ONEderland, after 2 months with pics!
So I'm coming up on the 2 month mark now. I have used this site on and off again a few times to lose weight and get healthier, but never 100%.

Still full in the morning!
Hey guys and gals! Quick question. So you wake up, it's time for breakfast, and you're still very full from last night. What do you do? Do you eat your full amount like normal (for me 200-300cal.) or eat half amount and risk not having your metabolism geared fully for he day? My lunches are set at about 800cals, nothing I…

Spreading out the calories
Okay, so I'm living in Japan currently and eating the school lunches every weekday. The lunches vary from 700-800 cals every day, of which we're REQUIRED to eat it all. You can't waste anything. I've started sneakily bagging some of the rice, but that still leaves quite a lot of cals. To people who know something about the…
