Any other expats living in Korea?
I kind of abandoned MFP when I first moved to Seoul, but I wanna get back into the groove! I'd love some other expat friends to get tips on where to eat and how to log Korean food (man, that's an adventure). So, is anybody out there?

Any expats living in South Korea?
I just arrived in Seoul yesterday and will be living here as an English teacher for the next year at least. My first trip to the grocery store was baffling to say the least! I managed to buy two apples and a box of cereal... I'd like to go back and explore more, but until then I was wondering what you guys like to eat!…

logging when nothing stays down?
How do you log when you're sick? Like if you're throwing everything up before any nutrients can really be absorbed? Obviously I'm more worried about getting better than I am about counting calories at this point, but I was just curious!

What's your favorite source of iron?
I suffer from some pretty awful fatigue. I've been checked for anemia more than once and my doctors said I was fine, but when I started tracking my iron intake on here, I was consistently super low every day. I'd like to avoid supplements if I can but they're not out of the question. How do you get your iron? Any recipes…

Bento boxes!
So I have a collection of bento boxes (small, Japanese-style lunch boxes) that I want to start using more in the new year. I was thinking about making up a bunch to keep in the freezer instead of buying so many Lean Cuisine meals. But space is limited and I'm running out of ideas for nutrient-dense foods that will fit in…

Coughing after you eat?
So this has been going on for a few weeks now, I get this really awful rattling cough down in my chest. My entire family was sick over the holidays and I thought maybe I was just getting sick too, but I only start coughing right after I eat (no matter what I eat) and it only lasts a few minutes. I have no other symptoms of…

Any belly dancers out there?
I have wanted to try belly dancing for years and finally found a class to take! I've been a few times and it's amazing. I adore my teacher. But it's in another city over an hour away, and when school starts there's a chance I will have a night job and not be able to go to my class any more. What resources do you use when…

Getting back in the groove
Hi! I'm Shiro! I've been here a while, silently puttering away towards weight loss. But I got out of the habit and went AWOL for a while. Still exercising and eating right! Just not logging anything. I'm still really bad at remembering to log things. I'd like to meet some friends who are willing to hold me accountable!

Need help with boring old chicken...
I have this bag of frozen chicken breast fillets I'm trying to use before I forget about them. The portion size is perfect and I love the convenience, but I've run out of ideas on how to prepare them. How do you guys cook your chicken? Any special marinades or spice blends that you absolutely love?
