Milanesa steak question
Anyone know what cut milanesa steak is? The butcher told me it is leaner than flank. The steaks are really, really thin. I was thinking of making fajitas out of them but not sure of the nutrition. I've searched online and still haven't come up with anything. Help?!

Customizing goals
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to customize my goals for each meal rather than for the day? For instance, I can only have two servings of carbs, 15-20g each per meal, + 1 serving of protein.

Just saying...
Today was... Today as I was reviewing the posts I noticed that some people made comments that, I'm sure, they thought were innocent enought but, to some, like me, who are literal beings, those three little words were sort of disappointing. "Just do it!" It made it sound like this person felt that struggling with eating…

PERSONAL TRAINER THAT'S NOT SO PERSONAL
OK, so, I hired a personal trainer. I'm about 60 pounds from my goal weight. I want to do this right this time! Anyway, I TOTALLY get the "kick my *kitten* Jillian Michaels" concept.
