Kitchen Nightmares
If you haven't already you should totally watch this particular episode. A friend of mine linked it in Facebook and my god! The owner and his crazy head chef wife are psychotic! Never in all the seasons of Kitchen Nightmares have I seen such a spectacle. You know something is wrong when even chef Gordon Ramsey can't handle…

Do you still log food if you throw it up?
I AM NOT BULIMIC. Just had a queasy stomach and nothing I ate stayed down for long. Such a waste of ridiculously delicious food. Le sigh..

What Speeds Up Metabolism?
I hope this isn't a stupid question. I feel like I've gone through the forums for the past couple days and all the information overload is 'splodin my brain. There's a giant gush of brain jelly in me noggin! Can't tell one thing from the other anymore, can't tell true info from false info anymore.

Accurate Logging
Just curious, how many of you are on point with accurately logging your food everyday? I admit that when I log sometimes I choose whatever sounds like the closest thing to what I had, rather than searching through every food item in the list. So I have no idea how accurate the nutritional information is with whatever I…

Protein Bar Recipes Without Protein Powder
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Or do I just substitute the protein powder in the other recipes I've seen with something else?

Irrational/Random/Funny Fears?
So for the first time this year its hot enough that I have to turn on my overhead fan to cool off my room. I pulled the string and for some reason it was on the highest setting possible, and I was like....NOPE. *switch to lowest setting possible* I have this really random fear that if the fan is on the fastest setting it…

Funny or Inspirational Quotes
Got any that are your faves? Mine: Inspiring: Whenever life knocks you down, just calmly get back up, smile, and then say, "You hit like a little b*tch." - someone on Twitter claiming to be Ted. Funny: “Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can…

The most annoying thing for you

Nutrition Site
So I just remembered that when I took my nutrition class a few semesters ago, my teacher (a registered dietician) told the class to check out this website: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ Lots of good information about nutrition and daily goals and all that fun stuff. Peruse around, see if you like it :) The supertracker is…

Question about strength training
Ok, the stats are: Age: 24 Height: 5'1 Weight: 128 Due to job shift reassignments and *kitten* bosses, I find myself having quite a lot of free time. I've taken to walking/running with my dog for about 1-2 hours, which I love, since we walk along the bike path that wraps around a large creek. Its beautiful But I have been…

Seafood recipes?
Anyone know of a good website with seafood recipes, or provide their own tasty seafood recipe of awesomeness? It seems like every time Lent rolls around, I can't think of anything to make on Fridays besides a slab of salmon. Which I enjoy, but its been getting a tad monotonous.

Force myself to eat?
I logged in 1000ish calories yesterday. Honestly, I went the whole day not really ever hungry. I have days like this sometimes. Other days I'll eat probably around 1400-1550 calories a day. (5'1, 128) Should I force myself to eat on days like this? I mean in retrospect it wouldn't have been like, literally force-feeding…

Unaccounted for Calories
So I just watched this video on Youtube, and it was actually rather intriguing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGunZpKLb5o Basically this guy asks the question: Are nutrition labels really accurate? He takes a couple of everyday food items and does his own tests on them. He acknowledges that obviously its not a conclusive…

Exercise Ettiquette (mini rant)
I'm a little peeved to say the least. I'm pretty sure this has been said before but MY GOD. Why does NO ONE ever clean up after themselves at the gym?! I go in and get on the treadmill, there's wads of paper towel in the drink holders, the buttons are greasy.. When I go up to the weight machines its pretty obvious that…

Fat shame
I was looking at this youtube video and I thought it would fit perfectly in this particular topic category. I enjoy this young women's views about different topics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XhTA4xOxCc What are your thoughts?

Sore Muscles
Just curious, when you work out and are ridiculously sore the next 2 days, should you wait til you're healed or keep exercising (for those days right after the initial workout)? I went to the gym for the first time in months the other day, and even while stretching after the work out and eating some protein, I woke up the…

HRM noob here, enlighten me?
So I've been perusing around the forums here and there for the past few weeks, and many times it comes up that the MFP calorie counter isn't too terribly accurate, and that people should get a heart rate monitor. So I guess, my question is, is that actually true? Also, what is a good heart rate monitor for a girl on a…

Freaky Eaters
Ever seen the show Freaky Eaters? I was going through Netflix and happened to come across it. Watching some of these episodes, I don't even understand how some of those people were still standing. Like, in one episode, this woman was addicted to french fries. She ate french fries 3 times a day, every day, for over 15…

Lactose Intolerance
So, I was just wondering, does there exist a substitute for parmesan cheese that isn't dairy? I wanted to make some spaghetti and was just curious, since, despite the obvious reasons for not consuming dairy, parmesan cheese on top of pasta tastes so good! While I'm on the subject, if you're lactose intolerant, what do you…

BOOBS.
Now that I've got your attention: The plight of the world today is.....blah blah blah I'm just kidding. Heh. I heard that doing the bench press or similar workouts make the girls look different. Just wondering, is that true? To the ladies who regularly do strength training, have you noticed any change in the look of your…

Some dinner suggestions for tonight?
I already know what I'm gonna have for dinner, but my fiance, due to it being the holidays, doesn't get off work til 10:30pm. And he's starving by then because his lunch, on a good day these days, is at 5pm, or earlier. What should I make for dinner for him tonight? I realize 10:30-11:00 is ridiculously late to make food,…

What are YOU listening to? :)
What music do you like to listen to when you're out and about exercising? Personally most of the time when I work out, I listen to anything with a fast beat. This can range from "Wait and Bleed" (Slipknot) to "Pocketful of Sunshine" (Natasha Bedingfield) to Bad Apple!! (Nomico [japanese artist]) But then there are days…

Cross-culture, Pot-tay-to/ Po-tah-to :)
What foods do you personally know to be called something different in a another country? I was watching a UK show called "Supersize vs Superskinny" on Youtube. Its a rather interesting show. But I was confused on what they called certain food items until I watched a few episodes of it. Like how potato chips are called…
-
Substitute for Noodles?
Ok, ever since I was a little child I've been addicted to noodles of all kinds, especially ramen. I realize that, though eating ramen everyday isn't that bad calorie-wise, the sodium content (even though I don't drink the broth) is always wayyy too much. Well that and the whole lack of nutrition thing, heh. But I find…

Exercises for Arms
So...I've come to the conclusion that I have weak wrists. I'm not sure if this is a medical condition, like early onset carpal tunnel, or genetic.Heck sometimes it really hurts when I friggin clip my nails. Meh, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a minor form of carpal tunnel though, what with the horribly unergonomic…

Healthy Shrimp Recipes?
Its my turn to make dinner tonight since my fiance works late, and I was wondering if anyone has any quick fixes for the small, raw frozen shrimp. We've been trying to eat healthier....trying being the key phrase, as we both need to lose weight but his weight gain doesn't bother him as much as mine. Something that would…

How would I....?
Just curious, I started doing Insanity the other day, but I'm not really sure what I should put down for the trackin gexercise? Would it just be 45 minutes of cardio?
