Calories in artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners like Splenda and Sweet N Low say on their packages that they have zero calories. I realize that that isn't the case and it's just less than 5 calories per serving.

Simple recipes?
This has undoubtedly been asked before, but through searching I didn't find much that was quite what I was looking for. So if there is something there and I missed it, please forgive me. I'm wanting to not only lose weight, but start eating healthier. Meaning fewer t.v. dinners, mac and cheese, etc. The problem isn't so…
