Potassium, calcium and non-calorie intake goals
Hi everyone! I'm fairly new, though I've used MFP in the past. This is more of a "wtf!" moment for me than a question, but maybe someone out there has some input: I was under the impression that I eat "fairly healthy". I don't eat much processed food, and I wanted to start using MFP again to lose some weight knowing that…

Cooking with olive oil?
If i'm cooking veggies in a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, do i add it to my food diary as "1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil"? Do all the calories of the oil get absorbed into the food? How do you guys deal with what you've cooked your food in?

I can't believe it every time i step on the scale and the numbers just keep going down... The thing is, despite having lost said 11 lbs, I have lost…

Tell me a story...

Great website if you're into running!
Hi all! Hope you're well. My name is kat, and i'm a running addict. I bought a pedometer, and in a quest to properly calibrate it i stumbled upon this little gem: www.mapmyrun.com . Some of you have probably already found this site and others like it, but I was floored to find something so comprehensive. It fills all my…
