Bulgur - alternative to rice
Can bulgur be a good alternative to rice? It makes a beautiful pilaf when cooked in chicken broth and is low in calories. AND it keeps you full for a long time. It seems that if you drink water after eating bulgur, it expands in your stomach. What do you think?

A noob question but
How do I access other people's recipes on my food diary? I just read a really good recipe on these boards but I have no idea how to get that recipe in my food diary.

I can't run, no matter what I do!
Hey everyone. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone. For a very long time now, I have not been able to run. I can walk for miles and miles, no problem there, but when it comes to running, no matter how much I try to condition myself, I can't run more than 1 minute (I am that pathetic!) I tried to run for 30…

F***!

I just planned the next three days.
Do you plan ahead too? If I can keep up, I will have an almost balanced 3 days. I did it for the last 2 days. Gotta say, it is not as exciting and thrilling as eating and then logging.. :sick:

Water issue
Hi there. I was wondering, can you drink too much water? I feel like I drank too much right after exercise and I feel quite lightheaded. I didn't feel lightheaded after the exercise and while I was doing my cool down, but after a couple of ice cold waters, it's feeling a bit weird.

DARN EGGS! :(
I love you, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, but why you has so much cholestrol :( I don't like egg whites alone and I don't want some chemical alternative. You keep me so full and satisfy me so much, but I think we have to part ways now... :cry:

Rold Gold Pretzel Sticks - 53 sticks for 110 cals?!?
Hello everyone, I just want to confirm. I have bought these rold gold pretzel sticks and... Well. It says 53 pretzels have 110 calories. Is this possible? That is a pretty big number of pretzels I would think. Granted, the sticks aren't that big at all, but it's pretty low is it not? I have been avoiding pretzels until now…

The thing you eat most frequently
What is on the top of your frequently used foods? Mine is Cederlane Organic Burritos from Costco. I love these things and even though people are afraid I would be gassy from eating so many, it doesn't really affect me that much. What is yours?

I GAINED A POUND?!?!??!??????????!
Hey everyone. I have been dieting for a while. I am following a 1400 diet. For some reason, I ended up gaining a pound over the two last weeks. Did this happen to anyone else? Was there a time where the scale showed no progress and even a couple of pounds more than before even though you thought you looked slimmer? Thanks…

sushi
what's your favorite and your healthy choice? I love ikura, but because of the salt content and price, I tend to go with salmon rolls.

Artificial sweeteners YUCK
What do you think of artificial sweeteners? I always think that there is no cheating anything. A diet requires you to lower your calories to lose weight. By using an artificial sweetener or diet drinks/foods that have artificial sweeteners, I feel like I am just trying to cheat myself. There has to be a trade-off, no? A…

SO CONFUSED about serving sizes
Hello everyone, I am very confused about serving sizes when I eat out. For example, the other day I had a turkey wrap, but since the restaurant I bought it from doesn't provide nutrition info, I tried to reassemble the wrap on my recipes. Result: disaster. I don't even know the difference between 3 oz and 8 oz of turkey…

Craving mac and cheese?
Try putting feta crumbles on a cup of cooked whole-grain rotini. Missing the creaminess? Put half a cup of plain yogurt on that plain pasta and top it off with garlic powder and crushed red peppers. This is how I get by when I get the cravings for comfort food that is starchy :)

Weight loss slowing down?
Hello everyone, I have been on a diet for rougly 2 months now. I have lost weight quite rapidly at first, but now, it has slowed down considerably. I am/was doing a 1200 calorie diet as suggested by MFP. Is this normal? Has it happened to anyone else? The thing is, I don't mind losing weight slower, but I don't want to…

How often do you weigh yourself?
How often do you weigh yourself? Me, I do it once a week but I want to do it everyday. Because it motivates me to see results, but I am aware if I weigh in too often, I won't see the same progress :P

1200 calories and exercise
Hello, so I am basically just starting out. I had done quite a bit of dieting before, however, I did not pay attention to my health and I had a couple of bad side effects from eating food that lacked nutrition. Anyways. So my question is: I am suggested a 1200 calorie diet. I have been going at it for a while but I would…
