Looking for ideas on scallops?
I bought some bay scallops for the first time yesterday. Not only have I never purchased them or cooked them, but I've never eaten them period! I'm not really sure what to expect, but this new lifestyle has me constantly trying new things. I've heard many people say that if scallops aren't cooked right, they can be…
Men's pant sizes...
I was just curious if anyone could tell me how they really run. I'm not so hour glass shaped, like a lot of women, more so straight with no waist. Thought I'd give men's jeans a try? My waist still measures about 44 inches, however my hubby has jeans that are 44's and even 42's which are way too big on me! I thought men's…
I think I hate my scale...
I can get on my digital scale a dozen times and have about 8 different readings. Which do you weigh-in with? Today I chose the highest. Sometimes I pick whichever number shows up more. And I'm not talkin just a few ounces. It can be up to about 2lbs. Today's weigh-in ranged from 232.8 - 234.0, with a few stops at 233.8. Is…
Activity Level?
I'm a stay-at-home-mom and wife. Whereas I realize it's a hard job (didn't want any other SAHM's thinking I was putting it down) just how active is it really? When I first started MFP I had my level set to sedentary, cause even though I cleaned and such I still took breaks and felt there was a lot of sitting in my day. A…
Potassium
Due to taking blood pressure meds and water pills everyday, I realize I need to make sure I'm getting in good levels of potassium everyday. I started tracking it last week and realize on an average day I'm seriously LOW! Even though I eat things like bananas everyday, for the purpose of getting more potassium. I looked in…
Panko Bread Crumbs
I have noticed in a lot of recipes lately that people use Panko more often than just regular bread crumbs. I thought maybe they were better for you or something, but I don't really notice a difference on a nutrition label. Is there really a true reason behind it?
cumin in tacos?
I saw someone post a comment a while back saying to use cumin instead of a taco seasoning mix, to save on sodium. Was curious if anyone had a recipe such as this or could just give me an idea as to how cumin would be sufficient. I've never cooked much with cumin so wasn't exactly sure how strong it is in a recipe. I use…
sugar intake
I was just curious on people's views or opinions on sugar. I haven't been tracking it on my diary because I'm more worried about other things, like sodium since I have BP issues. I checked my sugar intake today, just outta curiosity, and have realized I'm probably ALWAYS over what MFP says I should have a day. I don't eat…
Finally ready to post!
So I've been around the site for about a month now and haven't been posting much or making friends. I love reading the forum for all your tips and recipes. The support also seems amazing! I've been the "fat kid" just about my entire life and I'm ready to take control of it! My mom had gastric bypass surgery about 9yrs ago…
