Hi!
Absolutely unfamiliar with groups, but checking in. :)

Would like input on generic nutrition plan for non-active retirees.
Just looking for personal input from others who may have had to deal with this topic (or work with the above 65 population) for a basic guideline to ensure proper nutrition. My parents are both retired and have spent their years, so far, being decidedly non-active (regarding physical fitness). I've noticed that they really…

Interesting link on: Exercise Can't Save Us From Too Much Sugar In Our Diets, Say Experts
Just thought I'd share this link that one of my MFP friends posted and I enjoyed reading it. Not sure if it's been posted before, but thanks 74Brian74 for putting this link up. People can read it and see how it fits or doesn't fit with your own thoughts.…

Salsa - Does anyone have a knock-out recipe for me to try?
I love salsa and usually just buy some at the store. I have tried twice to make some myself, but I wasn't happy with them and am willing to try more. I don't like it too strong (I usually get mild or medium) and I prefer the "restaurant style" where it's a bit runnier and not as thick. For instance, I don't like the Pace…

What is YOUR least favorite part of having a healthy lifestyle?
Mine is grocery shopping. I know, I know, I should just be grateful for the ability and opportunities that we have to do that, and I am, it's just that I think about the things that tend to taunt me with not doing the 'right' thing and it's always the trips to the grocery store. The whole ordeal just makes me want to hit…

Fish - Any hope in making it less....fishy?
Never been a fan of any type of fish (unless it is deep-fried and you don't really know what it is you are eating). I force myself to eat salmon once a week. I am open to any and all ideas on how to make fish more appealing. I currently make my salmon the same way: a drizzle of olive oil (only because someone suggested…

Quick snack that doesn't kill your calorie allotment!
This is just something I found that I love to have and wanted to share in case anyone else wanted to try it. 1 container of Yoplait Greek (Lemon Meringue) yogurt 1 sheet of graham cracker (you choose if you want low-fat or regular) 2 T lite Cool Whip (or similar topping) After opening the yogurt, stir it well. Crush your…

Metatarsal Inserts for athletic shoes
Just thought I'd toss this out there to see if anyone may have any leads for something like this. For the past four years I have used Lynco L405 Metatarsal insoles whenever I do something very active (walking, occasional run, treadmill, etc). I really liked these and I've pushed my last pair beyond the ideal life of them.…

Low Potassium Levels??
I've been tracking my food for 250 days and two days ago I decided to swap out sugar for potassium as a category in my log. I was shocked to see that, according to my logging, the potassium levels I am getting are not up to par. Supposedly, the 'avg' intake for an adult is 4500 or so milligrams. I regularly log anywhere…

Protein Add-Ins for smoothies! (list per grams!)
Personally, I like to have protein shakes after a heavy workout and am always looking for extras to put in any one of them (or other items, for that matter). If you are looking for some good ideas, this list, which is about two-thirds of the way down the page, consists of add-ins with 2-5 grams of protein, 6-9 grams of…

Females - How many sport bras do you own?
I was reading through the other post that was talking about whether she should get a sports bra or use a regular one, etc. This got me thinking (because I did actually wonder this awhile ago)....how many sport bras do women usually have on hand for their athletic ventures? When I first started seriously working out, I used…

What did you THINK they said???
I recently read on a thread here that someone had skim milk before bed and it reminded me of when I was little and always thought my parents were saying "SKIN milk" and I remember thinking that was soooo gross, why would they have something like that? Well, eventually I figured it out and told them about it much later -…

Green Mill nutrition listing?
I recently split a Western Mill burger from Green Mill restaurant and have been searching for a listing of their nutrition information, but am not having any luck with that. I did a general Google search also, the closest I came was for the four-cheese burger, but surely there must be something out there for the restaurant…

Eat when happy or eat when sad? (repost)
TOPIC: Good Mood vs Bad Mood - When do you go for food? (I am posting this here as I posted it earlier today - about 4 hrs ago, but no replies - maybe it needed to be in a more visible forum). September 16, 2014 10:37 AM I have been thinking about this for a few months. Trying to find my pattern, and I think I have. I got…

Good Mood vs Bad Mood - When do you go for food?
I have been thinking about this for a few months. Trying to find my pattern, and I think I have. I got my workout in this morning and had to run to the store to pick up a card right after. I ate half a Quest bar on my way there, but felt like I was in a really good post-workout mood. The thing that is weird to me, I tend…

Never get a "runner's high" when I run......
I was in the gym this morning doing some cardio (treadmill). I typically use the elliptical or step mill with an occasional outdoor jog. I am wondering if there is a trick to this 'runner's high' that I have heard about. I'm not usually thrilled with running and I won't be doing any marathons, but I can hammer out 30…
