Banana Help!
I have about 10 super uber ripe bananas in my freezer and a cookout I'm going to on Sunday... I've already thought about making the ubiquitous banana bread or muffins for easy eating at a picnic. Any other ideas for these frozen gems? Ice cream might be nice but I'm not carting it the long drive to the park, KWIM? Help?…

DIY Butter
Quite possibly the best tasting butter, ever. You'll need: A jar with a tight fitting lid A marble (or another agitator that will help whip that butter faster--not necessary but helpful) Heavy whipping cream Kosher salt to taste Fill the jar only a little over half way with the cream and your salt, don't get greedy with…

blood pressure ??
My blood pressure is always pretty low. Usually about 110/80 -ish. I've taken my blood pressure (because I was feeling weird, light headed) and my BP is very low even for me. Today it was 106/69. What gives? Should I eat a salted banana? :wink: Is this normal when you've never had high BP in the first place?

I just want to know the calories in chicken!
And I'm being very specific. Sam's Club Rotisserie Chicken Breast w/o Skin. But MFP (and everybody else out there) has greatly differing nutrition info based on numbers they're just picking out of the air or making up or googling which is worse than making up. I'm trying not to nitpick but I am going to anyway. I just want…

Clean the House
Today is the day. Fridays around here are clean the house days. With kids, everyday is house cleaning day but on Fridays I am CLEANING. Another website lists this kind of vigorous house cleaning as cardio that burns an estimated 3 calories per minute. I like to think that is accurate. Is it?

Maca supplement
I tried some last year and didn't take it regularly or long enough. I'm going to start again tomorrow. This time will be better as I drink a protein supplement every morning and that'll be a good place to hide it in--yuck. I have both powder and extract and they are both vile. How is Maca working for you? And dosing…

Avocado size?
How big is medium? Or extra large? And I always weigh the whole fruit and never get around to weighing the flesh. I don't know why...but I ask myself this every flippin time I eat an avocado. This clears it up for perfectly! You're welcome.

I hate 321 cake.
Today I thought "gee, I'm at the store...why not pick up the cake mixes and give this 321 cake in a mug thing a whirl." YUCK. And for the calories alone, I'd much rather eat a tub of greek yogurt. Or an apple. Or some oatmeal. Anything but the mug-cake. Hopefully, I can talk the kids into making/eating this crazy surface…

Eating the last of your day's calories...
Sometimes (like tonight) I find I'm still under calories and it is 9pm. I even ate an apple a little while ago. Yet, I still have 433 cals to go. Do I eat another snack to finish off the calories for the day? The scuttlebutt used to be that you don't eat after...fill in the blank, 7pm...8pm...whatever. Should do I eat the…

Which weight to record?
I was retaining water last night and so my weight was up a little, no surprise...after I worked out I thought I'd weigh again and I was down 1.3 lbs! So. Do I record the "first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom" or "right after working out"?

Hi, all.
Just glad to be here. I'm a 45 year old woman who's been working out hard way too long to still be this frumpy. Four years into my fitness regime (this from a woman who loves to veg) I'm all muscle bound...under a nice layer of tub. I'm told changing my diet might be in order. Huh. Ya think? My goal is to be a superhero.…
