Do you splurge when you're sick?
I've had a cold for the past few days, and have been very inactive because I feel like crap. This evening I couldn't find anything that remotely looked appetizing for dinner, so I had ice cream. Breyer's Mint Oreo, to be exact...I thought the mint would be soothing (and I was right!) and I ended up eating about 5 servings…

"Clean" vs. "unclean" eating studies?
So, I'm genuinely curious. Are there any studies out there on clean vs. unclean diets? For example, something on groups consuming the same number of calories and macros, but one group eating clean while the other eats processed foods? I've been unable to locate such a study, and I'm deeply curious as to how much difference…

Super simple diet trick THAT ISN'T SPAM!
So, I was reading Greatist.com and came across this article: http://greatist.com/health/cut-calories-switching-smaller-plates It's basically about using smaller plates to cut portion sizes while still feeling satisfied. I had read an actual study recently which drew the same conclusions. And here's a video on "portion…

Interesting entries in the food database
So, while looking for a jar of HT Traders hand picked asparagus in the database, I ran across this: Jimbo's Hand-picked Booger Serving size: 1 boog Calories 330 Sodium 830 mg Total Fat 9 g Potassium 0 mg Saturated 2 g Total Carbs 46 g Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 5 g Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 0 g Trans 0 g Protein 18…

Get drunk with me?
So, today I cleaned my entire kitchen including underneath and behind the small appliances (even cleaned out the toaster oven!) and took a 4 hour nap. I also had lunch with my beloved sweetheart who brought over my favorite pizza (Papa John's buffalo chicken pizza ftw) Next week is my birthday, and it's been such a lovely…

Soup calories?
So I have a question about calories in canned soup, and I think I know the answer, but I would like to confirm: The calories listed on the soup (once you multiply for the number of servings) is for the entire can, including all the broth, right? I mean, the can of Progresso chicken and orzo soup I'm eating at 100 cals per…

Meal times: To break my fast or no?
So, I've been experimenting with eating at different times to see how the timing affects my hunger/satiety, since I was finding it difficult some days to stay under my calorie goal. I would find myself snacking a lot at night. I'm a copy editor and my paper prints around 1 a.m., so I get home anywhere from 11 p.m. to 1…

Package: Y u lie? Y u lie 2 me?
RANT: I'm having a frustrating day with my food packaging. The serving sizes stated on several food items are not correct. For example, I have these awesome Boulder Canyon chips made from millet and aramanth and stuff, and they say the serving size is 28g, or about 20 chips. 28g is, in fact, about 12 chips. DISAPPOINT! You…

Best apps for Zephyr HRM?
Hey guys, I finally got a Zephyr heart rate monitor which connects with oldschool blue tooth to my android phone. I've tried it using Digifit's iCardio, and that's pretty cool. What other apps do you guys recommend for use with the Zephyr, and why? ETA: Also, for some reason iCardio is not syncing with MFP even though I…

My boyfriend took me to IHOP...165 calories left :(
We had a wonderful breakfast to celebrate the fact that yesterday was my final day of school, and my degree is complete, and I'm officially a bachelorette of fine arts. After having an awesome breakfast complete with pancakes and smoked sausage, eggs and red potatoes, I now have 165 calories left for the day. What should I…

Today, I will eat all the things
I've been good all week so that I could be bad today. My beloved and I are going to a festival, where I'm sure there will be tons of yummy foods, and I plan to eat them all (or at least a reasonably nice sampling)!! What do you guys normally do for occasions like this? Do you save up calories and then blow your caloric…

Wanted: new fitness gadget
So, my ancient Polar HRM is on its last legs. I think it's just the chest strap, and it would be pretty cheap to replace, but I've been looking at other options, and wondered what you guys recommend. I've been eyeballing the Polar Loop and the Basis B1, but I'm open to other suggestions based on the following: It must be…

Calorie burn frustration!!!!
So, a couple of years ago I was fairly fit, and I would go into the gym at least 4 times a week, and I wouldn't leave until I had burned at least 1000 calories. This would only take an hour at most, usually less. I have a Polar HRM to measure this. I remember doing the elliptical for a while, then going through a weight…

Quit smoking and I want to eat ALL THE THINGS!
Have any of you quit smoking? What did you eat to satisfy that craving to constantly put something in your mouth without wrecking your calorie goal? I've been doing great until today when I went over by nearly 400. It's all mostly healthy stuff, nuts and protein bars and black bean hummus and such, but I ate too much of…

Artist looking to resculpt the body
Hello! I'm just getting back into fitness after a long absence caused by gallstones, getting laid off, and having a boyfriend who is probably the most unmotivated person I've ever met. These things converged into an extra 30lbs over the past 2 years, and I'm determined to reverse the damage. My entire life has transformed…
