I don't work 9-5, eating question
I work the 10 am to 7 pm shift. I usually go to bed about midnight, sometimes 1 am. I do most of my eating during the day at work, but I usually have a salad or lean cuisine when I get home. (living situation prevents daily cooking, to many roommates, to little kitchen and fridge space) I usually at least walk when I get…

Trying to find a dip recipe
I had this awesome dip at a party about a year or so ago, but I wasn't able to get the recipe. I remember it has corn, black beans and feta cheese in it. There wasn't much of a sauce or anything like that. Anyone have any ideas what it might be??

Going over on protein and sugars, everyday
I keep going over on both. I see those negative numbers in red and it worries me. I admit I was over on my sugar because I treated myself to half a candy bar yesterday, but all the other days I am still over. I have an occasional can of Pepsi Next, but the sugars are mostly coming from fresh fruit and no sugar added…

Canned Tuna
The only thing I ever use it for it sandwiches and the occasional casserole. I'm looking for some healthy recipes to use it in. I don't need to make a big meal with it because I am the only one in the house that will eat it.

I walked 2.2 miles in 35 minutes. It was over both level and hilly roads, so I don't know how much of a factor that is. Can anyone help?

How many calories to you think I am burning?
I work in a group home for mentally challenged, and I'm working 4-12 today. From the time I get there until probably about 8 or 9 pm, I won't have a moment to sit down.

The 1200 calorie diet and sleep
Ever since going on this diet, I have trouble sleeping. I work the midnight shift, and I used to be able to come home and go to bed. Now since I started dieting, I'm lucky if I'm asleep by 11 a.m and even luckier if I can sleep six hours straight. Today, I was in bed by 9:30, woke up probably 3 or 4 times and I was back up…

Why I am fat in Western Pennsylvania
Ok, we got some great food here. Ok, the real reason. I started gaining in my mid 20's (34 now) after I lost a physically demanding job that allowed me to eat everything and not gain weight. I knew better after I lost the job, but I kept eating and getting bigger. I hit rock bottom in 2006 when I weighed 195 pounds. I'm…

Simple recipes
I'm looking for simple, easy recipes. I love to cook, but I want something healthy that doesn't require a ton of expensive, seldom used for anything or hard to find ingredients. Seems like every recipe I find I'm always missing ingredients.

Chinese Take Out Question
I love Chinese food. What is everyone's general opinion on it? I want to stop at my favorite place and get some buffet to go for lunch after I'm done shopping tomorrow, and as long as I stick to more veggies, less meat and steer clean of fried and sweet stuff, do you think I will be ok? I'm pretty familiar with their food…
