What are your macronutrient percentages?
After playing around with mine for about a week, I've gone back to the 55/15/30 C/P/F. It seems to fit with the diet that has worked best for me, with a little less fat than I'm used to -- I think I was getting too much. I believe that a person's ethnic heritage has a lot to do with what balance works best for his or her…

"All Natural" . . . uh huh
My parents are throwing a Super Bowl party tonight and bought all manner of snacky stuff. I was checking out some of the things and noticed a box of frozen appetizers from Costco. The label reads "All-Natural Butter Puff Pastry". One of the varieties is a cheese and sun-dried tomato pesto croissant -- yum. Packaged and…

Be wary of anything that sounds too good to be true.
I have seen a few people on the boards mention a company called Walden Farms. After looking at their website, I couldn't keep back a little rant about fake "diet" food in general.

People's food diaries and unsolicited advice
I do not like unsolicited advice. When people who aren't my close friends try to give it to me, I attempt to be as polite as possible while (honestly) just not listening. However, sometimes when I am rummaging through people's food diaries here on MFP, I can't help but notice quite a few women who are only netting 500-800…

Is my goal weight too low?
I would like some advice from people with knowledge in this field. I know what the BMI charts say, but I feel like BMI is very limited and I want some input. I am 25 years old and 5'9" tall. Here are my current measurements: Neck 13" Chest 37" Waist 27" Hips 39" Wrist 6" My tiny wrist size tells me I have a small bone…

Small pleasures
Happy Friday everyone. Do you have any little pleasures when it comes to food? Here's one of mine: citrus in the mornings. I've been sick all week, and I had been hoping to get off work today due to snow and have a nice long three-day weekend. Well, the storm mostly passed us by, and it was business as usual. I was…
