breakfast question
Is it better to eat something to "jump start" your metabolism in the morning, or to save calories by not eating in the morning? I'm worried that if I eat breakfast I'll be hungry all day...

pho?
I was wondering if pho is good for you? I only get it with tofu and apparently a regular bowl with 4 cups has only 290 calories! But after all that I'm stuffed! Seems too good to be true... I don't really concern myself with sodium ...

Calorie count doesn't feel right
I've calculated the amount of calories I need to eat daily to lose weight on several websites and generally they come up with a little over 1200/day. They do not recommend I go under this number, but I've been eating this way for the last few days and have gone from 105 back to 110. (For anyone who's wondering, this is…
