Recipe ideas
For my high carb days. Low carb seems much easier for me. Perhaps b/c I've been GF for nearly 6 years and there are lots of foods I've already ditched. Any good recipe sources or swaps focused on quality high carb days? I follow a Low, Low, Mod, High, Low, Low, High schedule and use the tools in MFP to set up my days each…

Tracking 50/25/25% and following Brimeyer food plan
Hi! I'm using MFP to help me track my progress as I follow the food plan and principles in the Hypothyroidism Revolution by Tom Brimeyer. I track to 50% carbs, 25% fat, 25% protein. I'd love to have an accountability partner who understands I'm not tracking calories, although generally I'm in the 1850 ballpark. My…

Food plan from Forefront Health/Tom Brimeyer
Anyone else following this food plan? I'm one month in and I'm just starting to use MFP to track my macro nutrients and try to start adjusting my old recipes I already have in here. I'm also adding in the recipes from his food plan.

Air-popped popcorn: popper only, or stove top, too?
My whole life we have popped our popcorn on the stove with a little oil in the bottom of the pan, crack the lid, sprinkle with salt (or Tony's, or now I have a jar of the ACT 3 seasoning mix from Sam's) So, I hear a lot of people talk about air popped lately. Are they talking about the machine, or just that it isn't in a…

Gluten free apps/software, food tracking...
Does anyone know of a way to either track my food and/or export to analyze my food log to monitor gluten intake? It doesn't matter to me if it is mobile, desktop, software, etc... Thx! Catherine

Headed to first day at gym in a long time - intimidating :)
Ok, my goal is more weights than cardio. I'm making an appt with an Active Start trainer to help me get on the right choices, but I don't want to wait for the appt, I want to get started today. Sooooo, pray for me at 4:30 :) Wooohooo!!! Catherine

I knew it was coming, but I'm still bummed...upped calories
Last Wednesday I upped my calories and even though I knew my weight would go up at first (it has the last two times I upped my cals) there was still a part of me somewhere that thought, "naahhh, my body will understand what I'm doing!" NOT!!! LOLOL Ok, so I'm taking a slightly different approach. I had eaten an average of…

Today's Dr. Oz is dealing with metabolism & seems EM2WLish!
The questions at the beginning are asking about low calorie diet and people who cut carbs. The phrasing of the questions make it seems like they are going to refute those common practices! Catherine

When do you start a "new day"? Midnight or sleep?
I'm often up when midnight comes and goes. MFP starts a new day at midnight, but I can't decide if I want to track my food and exercise based on the day ends at midnight or when I go to sleep and start the new day when I wake up. Thoughts?! :) Catherine

Accurately categorizing my activity level
I made a decision earlier in May when I joined and started doing the math to get mynumbers for MBR, TDEE, etc... Now it is summer and my activity level definitely increases. I didn't feel good about being an accurate judge of what my level is earlier, I sure don't now. So, my typical day now starts with couch time with my…

A visual image of calories
The Ritz cracker has one more calorie than the entire bowl of salad: 16 cals for one Ritz vs. 15 calories for the 85 grams of salad (weighed for accuracy) Just a thought... Catherine

weight up, waist down, hips up.... I'm soooo torn!
I think part of my frustration is that this is summer. We live at the pool and the beach. We have a family vacation with my Bro and SIL in September and I soooo want to already be "there" with my body. I don't mind the long haul, slow and successful, the turtle wins the race, etc... starting in the fall!!!! Why did I just…

When you know you've blown it that day, do you go out big?
Yesterday was great all day. I was enjoying my food, staying on my numbers without feeling restricted at all and even got a little bit of exercise to "earn a few" more junk treats than I normally even want. We have a tropical storm hitting us, so I only got in 5 minutes on the bike before the rains returned, but I did some…

App - Restaurant Nutrition
I have a Droid X and I downloaded it from Google Play. Here is a link to what I found online: http://www.androidapps.com/health/apps/366098-restaurant-nutrition-unified-lifestyle The manager in a Zaxby's shared it with me when I asked them about a nutrition sheet today. We started chatting and he showed it to me. It has a…

Scooby's BMR vs. Fat2Fit
Hi! I'm new on these boards, but no stranger to the weight battle. :) I've learned sooo much here and it has caused me to re-think everything. I've been eating below 1000 (700 - 1000 when I food journal through the years) calories a day for years. In my entire life I've never been one to eat much, and yet I've always felt…

I'm worried, I feel like I am eating too much!
Okay, I'm only on the fourth or fifth day, but I'm astounded at how much I'm eating. I don't feel like I've lost anything (I have to buy a scale, the starting weight I put in was from my doc's office - I plan to stop by and check myself the day I get the scale so I can compare them). Here I am day after day eating more…

Do you track your hot tea under water consumption?
I drink hot (and cold brew) tea by the cup frequently during the day. I one by Twinnings that is a cold brew tea green tea with mint! Plus, I love a wide variety of green, white, and herbal teas that I drink hot, room temperature, or cold. I find all of the teas I drink in the database, and I log them during the time of…
