Crunchy Szechuan Green Beans
Just made these for dinner and they were so good! I eliminated the sunflower oil (just sprayed a nonstick pan with some Pam and some evoo from my Misto) and ate them with a little jasmine rice. http://www.inquiringchef.com/2013/01/18/crunchy-szechuan-green-beans/#

Road Trip snacks?
I'm taking a (hopefully 4 hour) road trip with my girls this weekend - I'm driving and I like to munch on snacks while driving! What can I bring? I have a cooler bag, but I'll also need to pack stuff for the way back (the next day) so nothing that will go bad, I won't have a fridge. I'm thinking some air popped popcorn,…

I don't know why this is so hard to figure out, but there is so much conflicting info out there - I have gotten 250, 368, and 460 calories, all for the same thing!

Low cal drinks?
So I'm going out tonight and want to have a couple, long week and all that. I don't drink much as I don't like the taste of alcohol - I usually stick to white wine or prosecco, but these have too many calories (and reds give me migraines).

Dating & dieting?
How does this work? Previously when I've been trying to lose weight, I wasn't as dedicated so I would eat whatever I wanted on dates, drink alcohol etc. But now I am really counting calories and want it to stay that way, so how do I deal with dates - as far as deciding where we go, explaining why I'm eating light/not…

Exercise calories question from a noob
Hi all, I just started on MFP about 6 weeks ago and today was my first workout after starting - I did 20 minutes on the elliptical, did the manual setting starting at resistance level 1 and worked up to 3.

What is a good substitute for mayo?
So I'm a big mayo lover - before I joined MFP I would get extra mayo on sandwiches...obviously I'm trying to cut that habit :) . But what is a healthier sauce I can use on sandwiches and wraps, something yummy! i don't really like mustard, and I like things that are flavorful.

Superbowl plans - how are you going to resist the food?
Hi everyone! So I am not a football person at all but I am a social person - I always go to Superbowl parties to hang out, and of course to eat. I've been so good since I've been on MFP (almost a month now) but I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hours of amazing food. So what do you guys think about a cheat day? Eating a…
