Quinoa Virgin -- How do you eat this stuff?
Just picked up some quinoa @ the store for the first time... but no idea how you use it. What is your favorite way to eat quinoa? Any great recipes out there I could try? Thanks, MFP!

AHA! What I've learned about artificial sweeteners!
So this past week I came to some realizations about artificial sweeteners. I've always had the "cool, 0 calories. they say EVERYTHING causes cancer. I think it's fine." attitude when it comes to splenda, diet sodas, or any other artificial sweeteners. I've always loved a Diet Pepsi here and there and actually liked the…

Subtract what I would have burned anyway?
I use my HRM during exercise to keep track of calories burned and then enter that number manually into MFP. For example: this morning I ran for about 30 minutes and my HRM said I burned 220 cals. Check... got that! However, am I supposed to subtract away the cals I would have burned anyway during that 30 min, even without…

To chocolate frosting? Or to not chocolate frosting? That
Hmmm... had a pretty good day. Still technically have a little over 200 calories that I "could" eat. Not reeeally hungry, but there's a can of milk chocolate frosting staring at me from the fridge saying 'eat me! just one tablespoon will taste so good!' So... do I make myself a cup of tea and head to bed??? Or, do I…

UGH! Once a week MEGA MELTDOWN! (this is the real post)
Usually, the majority of each week I'm golden. I eat the right things, work out, feel great, and my weight slowly drops. Nice! This works... BUT, the past month or so there's been one day each week when I get SO hungry and chaos breaks loose. Last night I finished up a sensible dinner, bringing my calories exactly to my…

Best Alcoholic Beverages?
Hey all - Since joining MFP, I've definitely cut back on the alcohol... BUT I'm attending my cousin's wedding tomorrow and I'm sure the drinks will be flowing. I know I'll let myself splurge on a few drinks, but don't want to totally demolish my calories for the day. What are the best low calorie drink options you would…

New HRM wrong????? :(
Yikes! I've been doing P90X for awhile now and have been logging the workouts using a combination of aerobics/calisthenics, etc. as most of you suggest. I even have tried to grossly underestimate the # of calories burned by putting at least 10 min less into the MFP calculator! I thought I was being good... However, this…
