Mongolian BBQ
How do you calculate calories when nothing is pre-measured? I'm seeing a lot of entries and want to know how these were determined. Thanks.

too "small" for encouragement?
anyone else feel that because they're not obese or only need to shed a few more pounds that they don't get the support or encouragement they need/deserve (and i don't mean just on mfp, but irl, too)? i don't think enough people realize that no matter how many pounds you need/want to lose, it's a struggle and not always a…

shirataki miracle noodles
anyone try these? pasta is probably my #1 favorite food, and if i can find it for zero (or close to zero) calories *and* it tastes fairly decent (i'm pretty sure it's not going to taste *as* good as the real deal, but low-cal foods rarely do), then my prayers have been answered! i'll actually pay $30+ for them if that's…

how to measure calories burned
what do you recommend to use to determine how many calories i burn during exercise? i've heard about a heart rate monitor, but is there a specific kind? one better than another? a different tool altogether?

i took out a pound of ground beef (93% ff) and meatloaf mix to make meatballs yesterday, but never got around to it. any ideas on what i can make with them for dinner tonight that *isn't* meatloaf (and it's too late for the meatballs - sauce has been made and frozen already)??

some things just shouldn't be glorified....or rewarded...
i know the sad reality is that teen pregnancy is running rampant in the world today, but do they *really* need to glorify it by producing more tv shows?? ok, so i'm being a bit of hypocrite as well as an enabler since all of those reality shows are my guilty pleasure, but i like to think i'm intelligent enough to see how…

food...
why does mfp announce when we've finished our food diaries and are under our calorie goals like it's a *good* accomplishment, yet at the bottom of the diary it tells us we're eating too few calories and that it's hindering our nutrition/weight loss?

i'm sorry, but...
....isn't myfitnesspal supposed to be a website about food, nutrition, weight loss & dieting? i've been seeing a lot of "off topic" posts about personal matters such as love lives, work, etc. i say save that for facebook and leave the mfp message boards/blogs for sharing recipes, bragging about your weight loss success &…

coffee
why does it say some black coffees have calories and some don't (and i don't mean flavored - just plain old black coffee)?

"Cheating" in your food diary
Does anyone else "cheat" when entering food? I don't mean cheating as in not logging properly, but sometimes there is food I've eaten, but not necessarily from the restaurant or brand that's listed. For example, I had wings and fries at a local restaurant/bar yesterday. They weren't in the MFP list, and I couldn't find the…
