Needed: Black Bean Burger Help
I have tried making black bean burgers and I'm having a little trouble. The flavor is great, I just can't get them to firm up. I've tried using bread crumbs but when I put them on the grill they were mushy and I couldn't get them off without making a mess. Today, I added egg to it and I still had issues. Any suggestions on…

New to Fitbit and really confused.
I recently got a Fitbit Flex and I am really confused. Reading the manual hasn't helped. For instance, my BMR is a little over 2200. Last night it said I burned 857 calories & took 15 steps (that part is probably right because I got up in the middle of the night) by sleeping. Since my intake of calories is between 1000 &…

Adding Friends to Fitbit
Can anyone help me figure out how to add friends to my Fitbit using their Fitbit id? Mine is only offering me my Facebook friends with a Fitbit, or to add them with an email address. I tried using their Fitbit id as an email address but it keeps rejecting it. What am I doing wrong? This thing is obviously smarter than I…

Sugars...I'm confused. Please help!
Can anyone who is more well versed in dietary and nutritional things help me out. I bought some honey to use as a sweetner in my oatmeal because everyone raves about how good it is for you. However, it has 16 sugars in a serving. How does that work out? Is it just added sugars that are bad, or are natural sugars ok? When…

Breakfast question
I have a couple of questions...well I guess I'm more asking your opinion. #1 When you write I have oatmeal for breakfast, do you mean plain oatmeal? If it is plain, can you give me some tips on how you make it? I usually use instant oatmeal and the it has the flavoring added. I buy the weight control or lower sugar…

Need food advice...
Hi...I am well on my way to my goal. I'm doing well, except for my lower belly, and my upper thighs. I can't seem to get the fat to move in those areas. I have asked some of the people in my Zumba class and they said that sugars and starchs contribute to the fat in those areas. I have switched to brown rice and wheat…

Figuring calories and serving sizes...
I apologize in advance if this is a repeat post and has already been discussed. I am curious about how to figure calories and serving size when you make a multi ingredient recipe. For instance, I am going to make some white chili using 2 cans of great northern white beans, Williams white chili mix, 1 pound of chicken…

I have GOT to find a way to incorporate more veggies into my diet. I love fresh fruits, but I have yet to find a fresh veggie I like. Well, I do like raw broccoli with ranch dip, but outside of that I'm out of options. Can any of you suggest veggies recipes that I can cook using frozen veggies? I think my problem is I like…

I need advice...
Maybe someone has been in my position. I grew up with very unhealthy eating habits. Dinners were full of foods that were not good for you. After my dad passed my mom and I ate out every meal because she didn't want to cook. Veggies weren't even in my vocabulary. Now that I'm grown and have 3 children of my own, I have…

Deli Meat
Hey everyone...is there any difference between the sliced turkey breast you at the deli counter in your grocery versus a pack of sliced turkey lunchmeat? I eat a sandwich just about everyday for lunch. It's quick and easy and for me, it's filling. Just was wondering. I'm noticing that the turkey I'm buying (Great Value,…

Lean Ground Turkey VS Lean Ground Beef
Can anyone tell me what is different as far as nutrition? I know I hear how ground turkey is so much better for you than ground beef, but I'm wondering what are the advantages of using that versus using an extra lean ground beef, such as 93/7 or Laura's Lean Beef? I made dinner last night with ground turkey and I couldn't…

Hello everyone, My name is Andrea and I am about to embark on what I hope will be a fabulous journey. I have been overweight most of my life, save a few years in college where I lost a lot of weight for all the wrong reasons in just about every unhealthy way you could imagine.

Made "diet" baked apples. Delicious.
My family loves baked apples and I've always made them with lots of butter, sugar and brown cinnamon. Well, I revamped my recipe and decided to do things healthier this time (it's the first time I've made them since I changed my eating). I sprayed a cookie sheet with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray" then cut apples…

Which nuts are best for you.
Let me start off by saying I hate nuts. I understand that they are a big nutritional plus though when ate in moderation. So, if I have to eat nuts, which type is going to give me more bang for my buck? Thanks in advance.

Fresh Fruit Question
Hi everyone...are there any fresh fruits that I should stay away from? Like ones that may be really high in sugar or something? I love Apples, Bananas, Grapes, Oranges, Peaches and Plums, so that is typically what I buy. I also like blueberries and eat them in cereal or oatmeal occasionally but they are very expensive so I…

Help...what should I do???
I am NOT hungry today. It is 1pm where I am, and typically I have had breakfast & lunch by now, yet I am simply not hungry. Everything I was ever taught says...don't eat if you aren't hungry. Still, everyday I find myself coming up calories left over at the end of the day. Should I eat?? Should I wait until I am hungry??…
