Cauliflower Rice - who knew?!
So I'm looking to eliminate white and processed carbs. I'm lucky that my husband actually doesn't have the "must have a starch with every meal" mentality, but sadly I do! So we've been eating quinoa and sometimes sweet potatoes, but I was after something else that would give me the texture that I'm after (because let's…

Calculating calorie burn
Hi all. Out of curiosity, when you enter your exercise for the day, do you use the calculation that MFP does or do you get it elsewhere? I tend not to enter my weight into the treadmill at the gym and given that I'm quite heavy it therefore may be under estimating, but the MFP estimation is often a good 100 calories…

Starting from Scratch
Hi all. I'm very new here and still trying to get into the calorie counting mind set. I'm an American but living in the UK for nearly seven years now, and in those seven years I've somehow managed to put on about 70 or 75 pounds! I've always had weight issues but managed to lose about 100 pounds when I was in my 20s and…
