AHHHH! (A rant and a confusing popcorn situation)
First of all, I need to vent about how frustrating it is when nutrition labels don't make any sense, ESPECIALLY when it seems to be because of Canadian laws or something. I've run into 3 extremely frustrating examples in the past 2 days. First was the ice cream. The label says a portion is a half cup. But I couldn't figure…

Vietnamese pork springrolls and nuoc cham?
I have no idea how to log these, since I don't know if any vietnamese franchises that would have nutritional facts on their website(all the ones around here are privately owned) and I'm seeing entries from like 70-250+ per roll and protein contents from 3-16g per roll. Honestly I don't even know if they were deep fried or…

Sodium
I understand that sodium makes you retain water, but does it actually sabbotage weightloss? In theory if I eat high sodium consistently for 3 months and then get my act together and let go of all that water weight, will my "true weight" be pretty much the same as if I had consumed much less sodium throughout the 3 months?

failed D1W1
So I finally decided to give it a go last night. I didn't make it. I didn't even make it halfway through. Am I the only one? Couch to 26 minutes of jogging and walking just wasn't possible for me. I made it through the 5 minute warm up and the first 2 90 second jogs before walking the rest of the way. Am I the only one who…

eating schedule - meals per day
why does everyone talk about eating X amount of small meals per day? I have a 1200/day calorie allowance. I dont see how 4 or 5 or 6 "meals" a day is even possible. does it really count as a meal vs a snack if youre trying to keep it under 300 calories? does it matter how many times a day you eat? I feel like i only eat 1…
