need high calorie low fat foods
I am looking for high calorie low fat foods to eat. I often come in under on my calories and over on my fats. The tricky part is the foods can contain no flour and no sugar cane in any form. Sure appreciate your input!

Potato flour
Has anyone had experience working with potato flour? I tried making dough last night, and while it was edible, it was hard to work with and a very odd texture; like like like....I don't know what to compare it to. Like one of those erasers that is almost see through? Kind of rubbery, spongy, elasticy....

cookware
Just out of curiosity I was wondering what kind of cookware you all use, and why. Personally I love to use corningware. It is versatile, easy to use easy to clean and I can usually find it cheap at garage sales.

To lose or not to lose
I have been thin most of my life, and consequently, most of my married life. So when I gained 50 pounds due to illness I assumed that he would be happier with me losing the weight as much as I would...though he has never made me think I am anything but beautiful to him. But lately I am beginning to wonder if that is true.…

muslce weighs more than fat....hear me out!
Ok, I noticed a comment about "muscle does not weigh more than fat" and googled and found all the many articles on the subject. But the fact of the matter is that muscle DOES weigh more than fat. I realize a pound is a pound is a pound so a pound of anything is a pound. That is not the issue I am arguing. If you hold one…

Coconut water?

calves cramping
First I have to say I lost a LOT of muscle tone due to illness. Next that I started doing Zumba in January and after a few weeks of going once a week I started doing it (going to class and leading class) 6 or 7 times a week. My calves cramp terribly all the time during Zumba. I am guessing it is from overuse, but I was…

It's a love match!
I love love love MFP!!! I am so excited to have stumbled upon it while googling an answer to a dietary question I had. Wish I'd know about it sooner, but I guess this was the perfect time for me to get going on it. What an eye opener it has been. On the one hand I didn't realize how many calories/ how much fat I was…

sugar sugar sugar....it's all just sugar
cane juice, molasses, sucralose .....these are all forms of sugar cane. Yep!! My body cannot handle sugar cane and so it has been such a struggle finding ways to appease my sweet tooth. Sugar Free! is the claim, but when you get down to the nitty gritty of the ingredients, it just isn't true. Perhaps it is a different…

Newbie
Came across this website while looking for answers to whether I am consuming enough calories or not. I am up at 2:52am; often wake up hungry in the middle of the night after a good workout. I wonder if I am not eating enough during the day, or if because of reactive hypoglycemia it is just necessary to eat after I…
