A calorie is not a calorie
This topic has been discussed before, and I also thought I had read about it, but here is a bit more depth: http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2013/11/12/3889049.htm It actually puts figures to the claims: so, for every 100 calories of fat you eat, you actually get to use 98 calories, and for every 100 calories of…

5 foods to never eat--where is that ad from?
For years now I get that pesky "5 foods to never eat (cut down a bit of stomach fat by never eating these 5 foods)" ad on the side. When will that ever stop?

Best home cholesterol kit available in Australia?
I don't quite know whether this belongs into this forum, but it seems to be the best place to ask. My cholesterol was always okay, then after half a year of not running, but general exercise, and MFP, and a month of alternate-day fasting, it was all of a sudden dangerously up.

Psyllium husk?
So this stuff is amazing. It has this absolutely amazing tendency to absorb water and expand, it's a wonder that it doesn't drag all of our intestines with it on its way through them, but apparently they are pretty resilient as of themselves. I once tried baking bread with it. The bread turned a kind of pudding even after…

Tendinitis general
Is it okay to join this group also if my tendinitis is not peroneal? I have degenerative hamstring tendinitis. Well, I still hope it will heal. It is little tears in the hamstring tendons that are caused by overuse andjust won't go away - at not by itself. I had autologous blood injection, physiotherapy, foam rolling, and…

Hi all... Than you heaps!
Hi, I use MFP as an app on the IPad, I have hardly ever logged into this website. So a big hello to everyone! And a big Thank You. That's because of everybody's contributions to the food database. It would certainly not have all these weird and wonderful foodstuffs in it, from basic ingredients to the meals of common fast…
