Homemade Recipe Nutritional Calculator?
I am looking for a website where I can plug in ingredients for my homemade recipes and it will provide nutritional information. Does anyone know of anything like this? I've been entering all the ingredients into MFP one by one, but there has to be an easier way!

Swimming
I'm interested in training for a sprint triathlon, but am really easily tired out while swimming! Even just laps in the pool. I was wondering what kinds of training people do, or if there is a C25K-like program out there but for swimming?

Do you exercise on your "rest day"?
I was wondering if anyone works out on their rest days, and if so, how much? I am doing C25K, so running 3-4 times a week for 20-30 mins. I am also starting to do a circuit training routine at home to try and build some muscle. I was thinking of doing yoga or some other low-impact activity on my rest day. I have a bad knee…

How long to get used to the calorie restriction?
I've been a member for quite a while but recently I fell off for a couple weeks. Now I'm back, and I really want to commit myself this time! The problem I'm having is that I am literally hungry all day. It makes it really hard to have any kind of self control when all I can think about is food. I know that it will probably…

Just started C25K! Any advice?
I literally just got home from my Week 1 Day 1 jog, and I feel great! I am so proud of myself for even starting, I've never been much of a fan of running. So, does anyone have any advice for a newbie runner? Also, I have a bad knee, anyone have experience with anything like that that they would like to share? My only…

Advice on how I should log this . . .
Okay, so I've had the last several months off of work. Basically I've been pretty sedentary. So I'm starting this new job today. I'm going to be cleaning sail boats. From what I've learned about the job I'm basically going to be cleaning my a** off for about 10 hours today. The job will only be on Fridays, so I'm thinking…

Hungry Days!
Yesterday was a hungry day for me. I ate healthy, but no matter what I did I couldn't feel full! Then I completely pigged out at dinner and went way over my calorie goal :frown: Does this ever happen to anyone else? What should I do today to counteract the overindulgence I did yesterday? Or should I just forget about it…

Went overboard yesterday
Yesterday I skipped my aerobics class because I have an old knee injury that was flaring up. Then I went crazy with my calories, ended up having 3 beers after dinner, and was over by 646 calories! On days where I work out and stay under my calorie count, I feel amazing and like losing weight is going to be no problem. Then…

How much to eat before working out?
I'm taking a conditioning class and a yoga class this quarter at school. Sometimes I have one right after the other, and I only eat breakfast before hand, which is usually around 300 calories for me. I'm burning up to about 600-700 between the two classes. By the time I get done with the second class I'm usually starving!…

Sugar!
I go over my sugar goal every day! I haven't been eating many sweets, only when i have a really bad craving. I get most of my sugar from fruit. I buy most of my food with reduced sugar or sugar free, so the fact that I'm eating too much sugar is really frustrating! Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do to…

How long before you started seeing results?
I've been staying under my calorie limit every day for about 2 weeks. I FEEL really good, but I don't think I can see any results yet. This is always the point in the past where I've gotten discouraged and quit my diet. Another problem I have is getting enough exercise. I have a bad knee and that makes a lot of workouts…
