Aspartame - What you don't know CAN hurt you.
I think EVERYONE should read this. The ingredients that companies put in their foods are not always the healthiest.

I don't miss meat and I've found that there are tons of ways to eat exciting foods without real meat. To all the vegetarians out there, here is my…

Daily sodium intake and exercise?
Can someone help me out? Does a person's actual sodium intake level change with exercise the same way calories/carbs/etc. do? For example, a person may start out with X amount of carbs allowed for the day, but after entering exercise on here, their amount of carbs may increase to Y amount of carbs. My sodium level always…

Just need a little motivation and help
I keep track of my weight loss daily on a dry erase board as well as on here. I know it may be a little obsessive, but I just like to see the fluctuations all throughout the month.

Super Green Protein Breakfast Smoothie
Yesterday, after my workout, I got a tiny bit creative with my breakfast smoothie since we are out of strawberries. I usually just do a strawberry banana smoothie with protein powder.

30 Day Shred Exercise Plan?
Every month, I like to alternate my workout routine so that I don't hit a platue as easily. For example, last month, I did something where I worked out groups of muscles alternating days and had the 7th day be a rest day. Well this month, I'm doing the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. I like to have a plan already written…

I got really…

So I realized that I haven't had as big of an appetite lately. It seems like I'm eating all the time though and still can't eat my calorie minimum.

PB2 Opinions?
I really want to buy some PB2. I adore peanut butter but it is, unfortunately, very high in calories for the amount. PB2 is a powdered alternative with only 45 calories per serving. Has anyone tried PB2? How about the chocolate flavor? I'm considering on buying the stuff and just want to know if it's any good compared to…

Platue or am I doing something wrong?
Hey everyone! I've been on here for about a month now. I started working out everyday about 2 months ago, but I wasn't tracking my food. I found out about this site, and have since been tracking more and continuing to exercise daily. Anyway, I've noticed that I've lost about 10 pounds total since I started working out, but…
