What to do with tuna
Hi, I'm looking for ideas as to what to do with water packed tuna - you know the tasteless low calorie choice. Other than combining with low cal mayo, does anyone have any good ideas as to how to make it taste good?

stepper
I know this is probably a dumb question, so I will apologize. I bought a stepper. When I use it, although I do not step very fast, I do get out of breath. My legs also ache with the effort. I want to know if this is an aerobic exercise or a strength training (quads) exercise? What I really want to know is if this can be…

intermittent vs continuous exercise
So is one minute of cardio performed twenty times a day appreciably different in energy expenditure (calories burned) than twenty minutes of cardio performed once a day? I don't have any fancy machines or devices to check it out. Thanks.

% bodyfat
Hi. I am wondering if there is any way that I can determine my % of body fat. I do not have one of those fancy scales nor a pair of calipers (wish I did - where do you get them?) I am 5 ft 2inches and 131 pounds. I have the lowest amount of muscle possible as I have been ill and have not exercised for 4.5 years. Any…

totally binged last night
I binged last night. I think I ate probably a whole days worth of calories between 8 pm and 2 am. I don't know why I did that and of course I feel terrible today. I just totally lost control and couldn't stop. Hard to know if there was anything I could have said to myself to end it. The only thing I think I said to myself…

ketone diet
Is there anybody on a 1200 calorie a day diet consuming very low carbs who would be willing to friend me so that I may view their food diaries? That would help me out a lot in getting started. Thanks.

ground chia seeds
Has anyone incorporated ground Chia seeds into a fat bomb? I am always trying to figure out a good (tasty) way to get them into my daily diet.

measuring salt
This may seem like a stupid question. I understand I can measure the salt I use in baking for instance but how do I measure the salt that I use that comes out of the salt shaker? Do I use a measuring spoon and measure out 1/4 teaspoon, and then just sprinkle it on my food w my fingers? Is there a better way?

frustrated
You know I keep reading on here that it is so important to measure properly and well it is. But you can measure all you want and if you happen to choose the item in the database that has a lower calorie count than the other fifty items FOR THE SAME THING, then you could be off hundreds of calories FOR THAT ONE ITEM. Each…

5 week projection
Why does mfp use a five week projection of future weight for motivational purposes? It seems to me that a monthly or four week projection would make more sense. Does anybody have any thoughts? I know I think about how much weight I might lose in the present month, not in five weeks.

abbreviations
I am confused about all of the abbreviations I read here on mfp, lol. How about if everyone give ONE, just to get everyone involved. It would help me out a lot. Thank you.

anchovies packed in olive oil
Help! I am having a terrible time calculating the calories and macros on my canned Roland anchovies packed in olive oil. I want to use the whole can including the anchovies and the olive oil. On the can the nutrition facts only relate to the number of pieces of anchovies ie. 5 pieces are 25 calories and there are approx…

tofu
I am on a quasi - Keto diet and was pleasantly surprised to find out that tofu has so few carbs. How can that be? Isn't the soy bean a legume and all the other legumes/beans I know of are really high in carbs. Another quick question. Is there still a link between soy foods and breast cancer? I am high risk.

weak muscles
I am disabled and can not walk far. I have low energy as well so find myself reclining either on the sofa or in bed. I have been very strict with my diet since January 1 and am starting to see some changed though. What tips do other disabled dieters have for me? Can any of you think of anything I might do to strengthen my…

daily water
I hate the taste of just plain water. Nor do I care for it with lemon juice. Can just plain hot or cold tea count as my daily 8? Thanks for your response.

saddle bags - help!
I have always had a problem when taking my measurements as to what measurement I should use when taking a hip measurement. Is your hip measurement supposed to be the widest part of your thighs (which would be my enormous saddle bags) or exactly at the hips ignoring the saddle bags? I have never tried to order clothes on…

club soda
How bad is club soda for you? I know pop in general is bad for you, but does that include club soda? I am trying to cut back on my alcohol consumption and so think that probably between the two, club soda would be the lesser evil. Anyone know? Thanks all.

Eat to Live diet
Has anyone tried the Eat to Live diet. If so, how was it for you and did you lose weight? I am on Day 2 and dying!

egg whites
I like to eat egg whites because they are such a good source of protein and low in calories and easy to prepare BUT I can not find a way to get them to really taste good. I have tried hot sauce, soya sauce and sugar like in the sushi, boiled and fried but the taste is still just OK. Nothing that gets me excited anyways. I…

missed meals
I'd like to know what you all think I should do when I miss a meal or two. Today I went to the clinic thinking I'd be in and out fairly quick. No such luck. 4.5 hours later I left. I had missed a snack and lunch so when I got home I had my lunch. What do I do with the snack calories that I didn't eat? Do I consume them…

1st month
I have lost 2 inches off my belly in my first month of calorie counting. A half an inch each week since I started MFP. As that is exactly where I want the weight to come off, I am very happy. Lots more to go.

Nestle's Fitness cereal
Can anyone tell me what is the nutritional value of Nestle's Fitness cereal? It says on the box that 30g are 104.7 calories. Well I was planning on eating a half a cup for breakfast. If one half cup is 125ml = 125g, then my half a cup of cereal would have 435.55 calories. Really? I haven't even put the milk on yet. Can…

want to view other people's food diaries
Is there anyone out there who is on a 1200 calorie a day plan that allows their food diary to be viewed by everyone? I am just in need of new ideas. I find it very hard to eat only 1200 calories a day and have any wiggle room. Well I do have 1/2 glass of wine a day - so that is a bit of a wiggle. But when people say - go…
