cycling with a trailer - calories
I've noticed that MFP and most sites have entries for cycling, which is great. The calories are figured by time and speed. My dilemma is that I cannot find anything that includes pulling a trailer. My daughter is 22lbs, plus the weight of the trailer, I am probably pulling 30+lbs. I'm definitely faster without it. So…

Anyone want to critique my journal?
This isn't my first time to lose weight, i've tried several times over the past 7 years. Each time I feel like i've learned a little bit more. Now I have a 16 month old daughter to feed. I'm not just looking to lose weight, I want to serve meals that are nutritious. I've filled out a months worth of weekdays. Any comments,…

Need help logging exercise properly
Good evening everyone. I just completed my first night of bodyweight exercise.

Done with no rest…

In a diet, is there any place for Beer?
This is my 3rd go-round the old diet wheel. This time my food has been totally different. I'm not relying on packaged or "diet" foods, this time I am cooking meals. I am not only trying to watch calories, but trying to eat foods that are really good for me. So far, so great! The food has been satisfying and kept my…

Accurate measuring
I'm still pretty new to measuring and cooking, please excuse me if this is a ridiculous question. When a recipe calls for cups of a dry ingredient... can I weigh that on my scale in ounces? For example, would 2 cups of chopped turkey = 16 ounces on my scale?

Question about Chilis guiltless grill
My wife wanted to go out tonight and I agreed as long as I had less fattening options. We went to Chilis and I noticed they no longer have a guiltless grill section, they just use a chili with a halo icon to mark guiltless items. So I ordered the classic sirloin, it had a chili with a halo so I assumed it was reasonable.…

Anyone want to critique my food diary?
Before I begin, I work midnights so my schedule may look strange. Also, I changed the names of the meals yesterday so earlier dates may look a bit strange. While I made my diet changes 4 weeks ago I have only started logging my food at MFP for 8 days now. I feel like I am doing pretty darn good, not only on calories but…

Alternatives to Deli Meat?
Occasionally I eat Turkey from the deli despite the fact that I know it can be high in sodium. Recently I purchased lean generation brand and was able to fit it in, all while still staying well under the recommended sodium levels. Are there any alternatives to buying sodium packed deli meat? I feel like I should be able to…

Newb and a statistics junkie
I found this site using a mobile device yesterday and so far it looks promising. Anyway, throughout my adult life my weight has been up and down. I have lost large amounts of weight (25-30lbs) only to pack it back on shortly after. I have always been the type to do things in extremes. I was either eating nothing but…
