everything is an appetizer syndrome?
Does anyone else get this: So I'm not really hungry but can eat... I've got a small snack planned in the middle of the day (or even late at night).

overthinking dry measurements (protien)
OK, I may be over thinking this, but: According to my protien powder label (doesn't matter which one), one serving is 33g and is one scoop. However, when I look on the scoop, it shows 70cc. When I look up conversion charts, 70cc is equivalent to 70ml which is also equal to 70g. Have I been drinking twice the protein that…

MFP default calorie burn for strength training accuracy?
I've been using the default MFP calorie burn for "strength training (weight lifting, weight training)", pegs me at 225 calories per hour.

FACT OR FICTION: Crockpots and Slow Cookers
Someone once told me that crockpots and slow cookers basically cook all the vitamins and minerals and other such healthy content from the food. Fact or fiction? I've stayed away from them for that reason, but it seems like a very convenient and relatively healthy way (depending on what you throw in there) of cooking.

Tips and Tricks Needed: PORTION CONTROL!
One of my major weakenesses (right ahead of potato chips and chocolate), is portion control. I figure it's because I grew up the youngest child, so I'm just used to eating everything else left on the table!! lol Anyways, I can't seem to eat a proper portion. With the number of calories I do tend to burn in a day, I would…
