1 pound raw chicken = how many oz cooked chicken?
I get sort of frustrated when a recipe has nutritional information that is just a certain amount of servings, but they don't tell you how much each serving is... My recipe calls for 1 pound of raw chicken but when I portion it out after it is done, I want to know how many oz the cooked chicken will be. (I am going to make…

Making pizza on the outdoor gas grill?
I am reading some recipes about pizza on the outdoor grill and they have you grill the pizza on one side, take it out and flip it and put the toppings on the grilled side, then slide it back in to melt the toppings and cook the other side of the dough. Has anyone tried this? Can it be done with Trader Joe's pizza dough?

How do you log non-chain restaurant food?
So I find that I pretty frequently (about 5 times a week?) at little local restaurants. There is so much great small local food where I live. I just never know how to log it.

Is running bad for you?
I have started running and I really like it. It is free. It is out my door. It is fresh air. It is calories burned. It is also mental clarity that I am enjoying.

Snacks at the movie theater?
I'm going to the movies tonight. Anyone have any ideas for movies snacks? I think I will bring some gum. Maybe a pocket of almonds. What I will really want is a bucket of popcorn with a soda and a pack of twizzlers! Do you get movie theater snacks? What do you get?

Have you changed what you track on your food journal or changed your daily allowance from the standardized recommendation from MFP? I am going to work on my sugar intake this next week so I just added that to my nutrition tracking. My friend said that I should up my protein and lower my carbs? Has anyone else made changes?…

Recommendations for ready made soups?
With the weather being so cold, I often want soup for lunch or afternoon snack. I'm not always super motivated to make my own soup. I have a couple Healthy Request soups which are about 200 calories a can. Does anyone else have ready made soups they like that are about that same calorie range?
