Olive oil on chicken
Hey everyone. I'm back to trying to count calories. If I broil a chicken breast with extra virgin olive oil and seasonings, how do I count the olive oil? Some of it runs off, so even if I measured it before putting it in, it wouldn't count. Any thoughts?

Any Nurses Out There?
I have always been overweight but now that I am a momI want to be healthy and strong. My family and I both deserve that. Anyway, I am a nurse on an Intermediate Medical Unit/PCU. I work three twelve hour shifts a week from 6:45a-7:15p. I either eat all my calories because I ate pure crap or I am under by more than 300. For…

So frustrated with myself
I was doing so well in my journey, managed to drop from 161lbs to 137lbs (well on my way to goal of 120lbs). And then I slipped up. I stopped going to the gym, I stopped logging, I slipped back into old habits and shot back up to 144lbs. During this time I also had my anti-depressants (trazodone) doubled, put onto new…

Meta-Nutrient Deficiency Psychosis
You know that moment where you say to yourself "i would murder a baby seal right now and drink its insides if only it was made of carbs." How do you deal with the bloodlust cravings?

Good sugars and Bad sugars in relation to adding it to the food diary
Hello all, My husband and I are new and have been tracking our meals for 2 weeks :) we're doing pretty good but are finding our sugar intake is next to nothing. We then figured out the sugar is "added sugar" ?? Our question is, When the diary tracks the sugar, even if it's good sugar from fruits, it adds it in and we go…

Apple Watch
So.... I can't believe no one's replied to my earlier post about this. Anyone drooling over it like me? Seems so much easier than using something like a fitbit AND a heart rate monitor. What do you all think?

Frustration - ultimate binger.
I can restrict my calories (~1200-1500 per day) easily for 4-6 days but after that I can't help having a binge day. And when I say binge day, I have the ultimate binge (~3000 calories). When I allow myself a little treat, I just can't seem to stop. I know everyone says to incorporate treats into your calorie goals, but…

Biggest Weight Swing?
A lot of people get discouraged when the scale shoots up two pounds overnight. A lot of other people get super optimistic when they drop 12 pounds in two weeks. I think it would be illustrative for people to share their biggest scale swings from weigh-in to weigh-in. Just before I started trying to bulk I lost two pounds…

L-Carnitine + Chrome?
Hello, guys. I'm thinking to buy L carnitine + Chrome, it is supposed to be very effective, but I've never had this kind of L-carnitine (plus chrome), so I'm not sure if there is any side effects or something. I used to take liquid L-carnitine before and I was very happy with the results. So my question is if anyone had…

Trusting nutrition facts - Sheetz
Today I picked up Sheetz for lunch, I got a 5 piece chicken strips. These things are breaded and fried and delicious, I am stuffed after eating 4, and the nutrition calculator on their website (as well as the database here) is trying to tell me that 5 piece chicken strips only had 220 calories. I'm having a hard time…

7 lbs down... 30(ish) to go!
Long time dieter, long time quitter here! Trying to do it right this time... Started the first week in April at 198 and am down to 191 (reliably). I got on the scale last week and had hit 190 and then dropped to 189 (yay!!) but got on this week and was back up to 191! So frustrating. I just want to get below that 190 mark…

Looking for friends who have had Thyroid Cancer or issues with Thyroid.
Hi, My name is Dave and I have been here with MFP for over 3 years with great success and sometimes not so great. Last week my DR found a lump in my throat and I had an ultrasound. They found a 3.8cm nodule on my right thyroid and recommended I get a biopsy. I had my biopsy yesterday and I am now awaiting the results. She…
