In search of contructive criticism...
Would any of you mind taking a look at my diary and offer some advice or constructive criticism about my diet choices? A side note: I know that counting calories isn't advocated in the paleo world, but it is something that I do. I also know the scale is a load of crap, but I still weigh myself. I would like to get away…

For the love of butter coffee and bacon!
:) I'm surrounding myself with paleo lovers. It's nice to have a group of friends with the same views as you. I drink butter coffee and eat bacon every day. I fry my eggs in bacon grease, bake with almond flour, and have an OBSESSION with all things coconut. If this is you, we should be friends. :) Oh, I'm a career women,…

Nutrition and Exercise tools, what would you choose?
If you could only live with one nutrition "tool" and one exercise "tool" what would they be? I would definitely choose my food scale and HRM, music would be a close second though!

Click Espresso vs Big Train Fit
Has anyone tried both of these protein powders? I've heard great things about both individually, but I'd like to hear from a coffee-holic that's tried both! :) Do you prefer one over the other?

Fav Andriod Running Apps?
What is your favorite android running app? I currently use imapmyrun and I like it, but I wanted to see what everyone else uses (besides the spendy HRM add-ons). imapmyrun uses GPS and tracks your route, distance, pace, speed and calories (which is far from accurate according to my HRM). I'm not entirely sure how accurate…

For those of you who successfully ZigZag, I have a couple questions. I'm a not a newbie to MFP, but I am to the ZZ mentality. I use this site: http://www.shapefit.com/calorie-intake-calculator.html# to determine how to distribute my calories. Questions: If I know I'm going to be going out and consuming more calories on a…

Tracking food groups
Currently MFP doesn't have an option to track particular foods like fruit, veggies, grains, etc. besides water. Does anyone use an app (android in particular) to track certain food groups? It would be nice if MFP did, but until they do is there an app out there? Thanks!

Kid's Meals - MOMMY FRUSTRATION
Every where you go out to eat there are usually kid's meals, right? (Granted we eat at home most of the time and pack healthy snacks everywhere we go.. BUT) I have found that it is RARE to find a 'kids meal' that includes a healthy protein, healthy side, and a healthy drink. Most of the time the only kids meals offered are…

Calling all Runners..
I'm new to running. Ahem jogging.. slowly. I keep reading how rest days are important. I get it, trust me.. I have no problem resting just ask my couch. But should this be a rest day between every "run day" or having 1 or 2 rest days a week? Obviously if I feel the umph to get off my butt and exercise I'm going to soak it…

Nike Shox
I'm ordering some Nike Shox. I own a pair that I've worn down to nothing. They are about a half size too big and always have been, but were still comfy. I'm going to order a 1/2 size smaller. My question is with the width. I'm pretty sure my current Shox are regular width and they fit nice. I'm worried that if I go down in…

Oats/Whole Grains
So, normally oatmeal for breakfast in our house consists of one packet of instant oatmeal. I bought a container of quick oats simply because they are cheaper and I can spice it up with cinnamon or whatever. I followed the directions for 1 serving... 1/2 cup of oats, 1 cup of water, dash of salt, microwave for 1.5-2 mins.…

Let's talk sushi... rolls.
Going out to sushi for lunch and need some advice. I only eat cooked sushi first of all. I'm from the northwest and now live in Oklahoma... I'm not going to eat raw fish this far from the ocean, just my preference. I usually stick to the rolls. I love me some spicy cowboy rolls and tempura shrimp rolls - BUT those are not…

How to spice up plain brown rice without sodium?
I'm maxed out on sodium for the day and plan on adding brown rice as a side to my tilapia and broccoli for dinner. My go-to rice used to be the pre-seasoned packets that have enough sodium to cause your head to spin. I need a low sodium way to spice up my brown rice. I usually just cook it plain in a rice cooker, but it's…

Let's Talk BREAD.
I love bread! Okay, I love sandwiches that have amazing bread. Thick dense hearty whole wheat or multi-grain bread! My new love is Aldi's L'oven wheat bread - but it has HFCS. I really like Big Sky Co. bread, but you can't buy it at any ol' super market. What's your favorite bread? I need to branch out!

Tips on cutting Sodium?
I have never really paid attention to sodium... ever. I don't salt my food often, but according to my diary I obviously eat foods that blow past the recommended 2500mg. Do you have any tips or tricks to cut out extra sodium? Any food swaps? Any advice is appreciated!

Protein overload?
I am a nursing mom and apparently should have 65g of protein per day (that just so happens to be the same amount MFP recommends for me regardless). I tend to go over my daily protein by a lot.. Do you think this will cause me a problem in the long run? I am a Weight Watchers convert and have never really paid attention to…
