Chinese buffet tomorrow night and I am dreading it
Going to my favorite Chinese all you can eat buffet tomorrow night with friends. I am dreading it because I know I am going to binge to the point of bursting. I can't resist the egg rolls, the salt and pepper shrimp, beef and onions and the dim sum, just to name a few. And, oh my goodness, the fried shrimp in panko crust…

Are there any apps that can scan paper recipes into a digital cookbook?
I've got a zillion loose paper recipe cards, tons of torn out recipes from newspapers and magazines, dozens of cookbooks, a bookmark folder filled with links to every major magazine and food TV site. What I don't have is a single mobile resource to scan/digitize, organize, and store them in a digital cookbook. Does anyone…

Brown Crab Nutritional Value
Does anyone know the nutritional value of the Irish Brown Crab, both meat and all the roe in the shell. I can Google for the crab meat portion, but the roe and the yellow "butter" has me stumped. For my friends in the USA, this crab is not sold there. It is a north Atlantic European crab sold only in western Europe.…

Calories in a Stewing Hen vs a Fryer or Broiling chicken
I have Goggled but can't find out if the calories in a stewing hen are the same as a broiler/fryer. Making a big pot of chicken soup with a very large stewing hen in the crock pot tonight. After I pick the meat off the bones, how do I count the calories, as it will be shredded meat from the entire hen. Thanks

Just not thirsty anymore and that's bad
Prior to my 30 pound weight loss, I was always thirsty and could drink at least 2 liters of diet coke a day, plus water. While I know that a lot of that thirst was due to higher blood sugar levels pre weight loss, since dropping 30 pounds I am just not thirsty. And that is bad because I have frequent urination all day and…

Why am I so cold all the time now
I've lost 31 pounds so far, and I am absolutely freezing all the time, particularly my hands and feet. No shivering, although I feel like it. My ear thermometer shows my temperature between 96.6 and 97.4, which not alarming in of itself, it is still below the 98.6. Pulse rate also lowered a bit. What gives?

Invokana - Another UTI
I have been on Invokana for 2 months now, and it has done wonders for me. My fasting levels have never been lower, this morning 88 and it surely is helping with my weight loss. But I am having a hard time with the side effects, namely the UTIs. This is the second round of antibiotics for me. I just don't know if I can…

Cooking for One
As you can surmise from the title, I am single. I get so frustrated when reading labels and see a small can that says 2.5 servings. Pffft. Anyway, back to the point, I sure could use some recipes hints for cooking for one. I usually end up making more, keeping in the fridge, but after 2 days I am over it and want something…

Resting Heart Rate
For the past 20 years I have had bradycardia, and my normal resting heart rate is always around 50. However, since I began loosing weight, (I have lost about 20 pounds), my resting heart rate had dropped to around 43-45. I was wondering if this is a normal effect of weight loss. I have an appointment with my cardiologist…

Looking for LGBT Firends to Help Support Each Other
I would really like to have a support group of some LGBT friends. Straight people are always welcome, but I feel more comfortable sharing with people with the same lifestyle as me, and with who I feel I can be open and honest with. Thanks

Having a Blast Creating New Recipes
I have been using MFP for 3 weeks now, and I must say, I am having a blast using the recipe creator. I have come up with some unique recipes that I so enjoy. I always keep in the fridge what I call my "salad/soup/saute" mix. It is nothing more than chopped nappa cabbage, boy choi, some chopped green onion, chopped endive…
