How much kale in one bunch?
Does anyone know how many cups of kale are in the average bunch that comes at the grocery store? The bunch that just has the rubber band or tie thingie around the bottom of the stems? This is the large-leafed green curly kale. Does one cup of kale mean de-stemmed kale, or do you measure with the stems? I always de-stem my…

Make me feel better- bad day
Yesterday I skipped breakfast, ate a cheese and vegetable quesadilla from a food truck for lunch, and ate 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza (from a medium pie- not the biggest nor the smallest pizza slices I've seen) and a green salad for dinner. My additional food was 200 calories of snacks. I really don't know how to log this…

Limp asparagus
Help! I oversteamed a whole bunch of asparagus. Is there anything that can be done at this point? For the future, any fast, low-fat or fat-free way of cooking asparagus? I'm not worried about oil in general, it's just that I plan to chop this up as a salad base and then add dressing.

Tempeh in pad thai or stir fry?
Has anyone tried this? If so, do you marinate the tempeh first? I usually just make vegetable stir fries/noodle dishes, but I have some 3 grain tempeh in my refrigerator right now.

Sweating for the wedding Sept 2015
Anyone else trying to blast off those last 5 pounds in the month before the big day? Any tips for toning as well as losing weight? What not-crazy but strict habits have you adopted? Despite a lot of the hype around mini-meals, I'm finding success on 3 square and clean meals a day, no snacks (except for the odd day that I…

Don't feel like staying in my calorie goal every day--do I need tough love?
Hi guys, I think I know the answer to this, but here goes. I gained 10 lbs over the past 6 months, mostly over the past 2 months when I ate whatever I wanted and didn't exercise. At. All. I'm now trying to lose those 10lbs by exercising a minimum of 4 days a week (at fairly intense levels, like spin and hot yoga) and…

Spiralizer
Does anyone make noodles using a spiralizer? Is it worth having this gadget in your kitchen? I'm not looking to cut out pasta, I'm looking for a fun new (and hopefully tasty!) way to prepare vegetables. Thoughts? Recipes? Thanks!

Lactose intolerant
I'm newly diagnosed and interested in other people's experiences. 1) Can you eat dairy if you take an enzyme supplement or are you just better off not eating dairy? I love dairy, but it's been making me quite sick so I'm willing to give it up if an enzyme supplment isn't a complete solution. 2) Do you tolerate some foods…

Eating healthy while traveling for work
Hi, any ideas for eating healthy while living in a hotel for several weeks? I have access to a refrigerator (no freezer), a microwave, and the supermarket. I can't eat dairy, but I am otherwise open to ideas. Thanks!

Favorite Entree Salad Recipe?
What is your favorite green-based salad to make for lunch or dinner? I'm not low-carbing it but I like salad for variety in my meal rotation and I'm running out of ideas and/or my ideas don't turn out to be super tasty. Right now I"m loving a taco salad with ground turkey, tomato, and avocado, and a Greek-type salad with…

Gym club memberships in January
So a bit early to be worrying about this but...I am quite settled into a gym routine and I'm getting worried about January. Is it true that there will be lines for the treadmills and weights and no spots in the gym classes? For people who are regulars, do you find this is true at certain times more than others during the…

Calories on rest days
Anyone else have trouble staying within their calorie allotment on days that you don't work out? I'm already exercising 5 days a week and if I don't take a day or two off my back and hips are a mess. I already have switched to all low-impact exercises but I still need those rest days. However I find it really challenging…
