"worth every calorie" - inappropriate phrase??
https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/20/great-british-bake-off-prue-leith-sparks-upset-with-calories-remark-15456076/ I dont watch the show myself but stumbled on this news item. Do the fans have a point or are they over reacting? We often read the same phrase on MFP posts about cake or whatever - admittedly this is a calorie…

What would you/did you wear in isolation?
or how much is it worth getting dressed at all and if so, in what? Here in Australia, and I presume other countries, if one gets Covid one has to home isolate. Currently 7 days where I live. I am on day 4. am fully vaccinated so symptoms only mild - but no matter, not allowed out till Wed midnight. I find wearing pyjamas…

vaccinations/health care and product promotions.
I hope this is allowed here after closing of last Covid vaccine thread. Interesting to read there of Krispy kremes giving a voucher for free donuts to everyone getting the Covid vaccine (in US) What do people think of this sort of freebie by companies? here in Australia I dont think it would go down well - too obvious…

CICO is gravity, calorie counting is walking down the steps
There sometimes seems some confusion about the difference between CICO (calories in, calories out) and calorie counting CICO is the science equation that applies to all of us: ie if CI = CO you stay same weight, if CI is greater than CO you gain weight, if CO is greater than CI you lose weight Calorie counting is one…

is MFP more important than marriage?
well, not really a debate (I hope! :o ) Today is my wedding anniversary and coincidentally I recieved this message from MFP on receiving my 7 year MFP poster badge: Wow! Seven years. Your community relationships have outlasted most marriages. Do most marriages really last less than 7 years these days?? (or was that…

Coronavirus songs
So many good ones around. A few are in the Coronavirus memes thread but I think they need A thread of their own. ( and I guess we need to stick to avoiding overly political ones if we want to stay on right side of mods ;)

weight loss is like the weather
It has occurred to me that this is a good way of understanding the oft used statement 'weight loss is not linear' From end of summer to middle of winter, weather gets progressively cooler. I'm sure nobody disagrees with that. But we don't expect every single day to be cooler than the one before - we just expect the trend…

coconut cream
I wanted to try making this recipe https://myfoodbook.com.au/recipes/show/cherry-coconut-cheesecake-with-chocolate-crackle-base (yes I know it isnt diet food :D ;) ) - and it calls for coconut cream. could not find any in my supermarket - looked in aisle where creamed rice and deserts like custards are, and in fridge and…

Omelettes
The other day I made an omelette for tea. Was around 500 calories using the recipe builder and made a filling meal. I have had omelettes before but haven't made them at home. Used shredded ham, diced leek,mushrooms, capsicums ( what some of you call bell peppers, I think) and sprinkling of grated cheese. Wondering what…

Cotton candy burritos
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vzW_Vh79ry8 Clean eaters, look away now! LoL Oh boy, imagine how many calories in one of these monsters! Super calorie bombs! Not a fan of cotton candy ( we call it fairy floss here) but these things have been popping up on my Facebook feed. Seems an innovative and original idea for those who…

week starting/ending on set day?
- I have always looked at weekly calories and back in the day I had my week starting on Monday. Is it possible in new system to do that? - I can see how to manually scroll down dates and change my week to ending on the day I want (rather than just seeing the last 7 days) - but it has to be done every single time, I cant…

Has Paleo had its day?
I have noticed that whereas there used to be lots of threads asking about Paleo, promoting Paleo, users endorsing it etc - have not seen any of these for a while. Keto seems to have taken over as the new In Thing. I do not follow either but keto seems more defined to me, is a clear plan - whereas Paleo was vague and…

Changes in advertising messages
When I was younger there were a lot of ads for Special K ( a brand of cereal, if anyone not familiar with it) and they all featured women who went on diets and then their husband came home and admired their slim figure in their low cut dress, high heels, perfect makeup. Compared to Nutirgrain in which men were full of…

Vegemite icy poles
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-13/vegemite-icy-poles-are-coming-and-youre-all-divided/9256920 I dont think these will take off somehow. :o :o Australians like vegemite - but everything has a time and place - the time is not dessert and the place is not the freezer :o I know vegemite isnt in all countries - but if any…

Is it possible to adjust recipes?
I created a recipe for mixed grilled veggies and cheese100 g serving , total weight was 350g so I wanted to call it 3.5 serves for ease of use in future ( ie I weigh my portion and calculate from 100g) but I accidentally entered it as 1 serve. Any way to correct this or do I have to re enter everything again?

Drink only water!! All other drinks are evil!!
Hehehe, I can do click bait too B) However I notice in every diet coke or coffee or alcohol or similar thread we get posts saying Water is best!, Swap to water!, I drink only water! etc Drinking water is great and I drink at least several glasses of it every day. But does anyone really drink ONLY water? Is there some…

Finding your happy medium of logging accuracy
Maybe you like weighing every little thing and checking bread slices, muesli bars etc are the weight they say they are and bringing banana peel home to weigh and subtract from total weight of banana each time you take one for a snack at work.....if so, this thread is not for you. I do wonder though how many people have…

Weekend detoxes, wawa crystals...
And other post Christmas nonsense. Magazines atm seem to have a common theme of 'it's long enough since Christmas to peddle get rid of Christmas pounds fast! ' propaganda. I have one which gives step by step weekend detox advice, including a set menu. Day 1 is salmon and mushrooms on gluten free toast. Now, nothing wrong…

Stupid messages
Now I don't usually attract these, not sure if because I am not in USA, am older, don't have an avatar pic...... But anyway today got a messages saying I've tried so many diets that I can't even remember them all. I kept trying to eat all these new foods and specialty drinks, but I just wasn't losing the weight I wanted.…

Soup recipe - how to get serving
I am not sure what I am missing here. Have logged a few other recipes but I knew from experience that they served 3 serves. I don't know how many my soup would serve. I logged all the ingredients (except the water) and weighed the crockpot container empty before starting - it weighed 2168 grams. The container filled with…
