Foods	Can I rant for a second.	Jul 16 2008 09:24 (UTC)	7
Honestly, there is no point in even asking if you have such a negative view of vegEtables. You could always try to fix or add them to some sort of food that you do like, and try to gradually add them into your daily diet.
Foods	Pure, unadulterated ridiculousness...	Jul 16 2008 09:20 (UTC)	7

Foods	An aspartame experiment.	Jul 04 2008 23:01 (UTC)	6
Don't you think a food that causes tumors to any sort of animal has the possibility of being harmful to your own health? I never said that Aspartame would cause us humans to grow tumors, I just presented you with a website that has some interesting information.
Vegetarian	i guess im vegetarian or something, so what should i eat?	Jun 25 2008 09:21 (UTC)	5
Thebledx3, you probably didn't plan your vegetarian diet properly, and because of it had a protein deficiency. I had the same symptoms that you had when I was anorexic, and when I started including more vegetarian protein into my diet I began to look and feel a lot better. I hope Thebledx3's experience doesn't discourage anybody else from transitioning to a vegetarian diet.
Young Calorie Counters	doesnt it annoy you when naturally thin people call themselves fat?	Mar 28 2008 07:03 (UTC)	42
Although it may be irritating for you, some thin girls really do think they are fat. We all know how it feels to be out of control of our eating, and we know how it feels to be bloated or carrying a couple extra pounds. I think most "thin" girls are referring to this weight when they complain about being fat. Also, even some thin girls have body types that store fat in unsightly places. So, although they weigh less, they just might not like how their weight is distributed on their body.
Vegetarian	Pescetarianism Questions.	Mar 03 2008 23:18 (UTC)	5
I eat fake meats very rarely, I usually get a headache after eating them though, so I try to stay away. I don't care too much for tofu, and my mother hates it so that doesn't work. I eat beans, but I can't imagine eating them on a daily basis, nor can I imagine eating enough to get sufficient protein. I do eat peanut butter and hummus nearly daily, however they don't have nearly enough protein.
Vegetarian	Pescetarianism Questions.	Mar 03 2008 05:51 (UTC)	9
I don't plan to eat a lot of seafood at all, just as little as possible, once a day for protein. Thanks for the fish suggestions also, I was thinking about salmon before you even mentioned it. I live in the middle of a vast array of farms, so no fisherman or fresh fish here, only the fish that come from a grocery store. I have an extremely low tolerance for fish that smell bad, so I think I am okay as far as that goes.
Foods	Don't you remember when...	Feb 24 2008 06:18 (UTC)	89
Don't you remember when you and your friends would go shopping and say "What are these?" and "What does all of this mean?" when you looked at the nutrionals?
Young Calorie Counters	Inner Thigh Fat - I HATE It!!	Feb 15 2008 05:38 (UTC)	6
Haha, I have the same problem as you. An exercise I have been recently doing seems to be working a bit for me. I lay on my side, holding my head up with my hand. Then I fold my top leg over to the front of my bottom leg's thigh. After that I repetively raise and lower the bottom leg. I do this about 50 times. I hope that this makes some sort of sense, if not I can try to find a diagram or something for you, good luck!
Weight Loss	BMR and eating disorders	Jan 26 2008 01:31 (UTC)	1
I used to have disordered eating for around two years, my calories ranging from 400-1000, and I can easily eat 1700 calories without gaining weight. I don't think your BMR has lowered much because the disorder only lasted a year, it just may take some time for your metabolism to start working properly again, you just have to be patient... By the way, how old are you? If you are in your teens you need at least 1500 calories to help aid in growth.
Young Calorie Counters	How do I eat more calories?	Jan 22 2008 00:20 (UTC)	2
Peanut Butter or nuts. High calorie and portable so you can take them with you to class.
Young Calorie Counters	How old were you when you had your first kiss?	Jan 22 2008 00:01 (UTC)	266
I was in the sixth grade when I had my first kiss. It was the worst kiss I had ever had, not to mention the fact that I was shaking like crazy haha. I got my first boyfriend in like the fourth grade. It wasn't a real relationship, but he is one of my best friends now.

I love dipping my steamed broccoli in hummus.
Weight Loss	HELP! Bad Binging Habit =[	Dec 17 2007 15:06 (UTC)	6
You could try ordering some PB2 or Better 'N Peanut Butter if none of the other suggestions work and you are still binging. They're much lower cal and won't put such a dent in your calorie intake.
Weight Loss	is this enough calories for me	Dec 13 2007 14:23 (UTC)	1
Jason, I may be wrong, but I don't think that method is correct. If it was, I would have to eat less than the bare minimum of 1200 to lose weight. Also, if doesn't take into account the fact the the OP is only 14 and still growing. To the OP. There are links to Teenage Nutrition Calculators scattered throughout posts similar to this one. Finding a few of those could be helpful to answer your question.
Foods	Feel Sick after Eating an Apple?	Dec 06 2007 05:43 (UTC)	12
The same thing happened to me last week, (I eat apples daily), like to the point where I couldn't walk. I think it was because my mom accidentally bought York apples instead of Fuji (which are just fine with my stomach). Perhaps you should try another kind of apple, and see if you experience the same things and if the symptoms go away, try and fall in love with a new kind of apple. Edit: Fiji = Country. Fuji = Apple. Got it.
Vegetarian	Why? And Hello!	Dec 05 2007 15:46 (UTC)	21
If we were all vegetarian, we would still be at the top of the food chain. That might be the stupidest reason I have ever heard of why you shouldn't go vegetarian. Sorry if I sound rude, but wow. As for the original post, I became a vegetarian because of the extreme cruelty that has been shown of animals in factory farms and things like that. Also, the thought of eating rotting flesh isn't very appetizing imo.
Vegetarian	this has probably been asked a thousand times, but..	Dec 04 2007 15:04 (UTC)	8
Enriched cereals can have around 50% of your iron in one serving. You can also get cereals that have protein in them, such as Special K Protein Plus. Also, Luna Bars can help cut any sugar cravings while still supplying you with vitamins and minerals. Some La Tortilla Factory tortillas have protein, I bought some yesterday that are 50 calories each with 5 grams of protein and around 8g of fiber. The last thing I can think of off of the top of my head would be eggwhites, or eggbeaters (Assuming that you eat eggs). I hope that helped =].
Foods	What foods contain iron?	Dec 02 2007 02:51 (UTC)	3
One cup of cheerios has 45% of your DV...
Weight Loss	Body fat question for girls.. any help appreciated	Nov 28 2007 04:57 (UTC)	9
I don't think you necessarily need to gain any weight, just make sure you are getting enough fat into your diet. I am a vegetarian so I have a very hard time getting fat into my diet, so sometimes I don't get my period. However, my friend, who is much skinnier than I am doesn't eat much, but when she does she eats high fat mostly fast food while not even reaching 1000 calories most of the time and she still has a regular period (I am trying to get her to change, but she won't.). I hope that wasn't too confusing.
Foods	Granola bars -- waste of calories?	Nov 26 2007 14:33 (UTC)	11
Have you tried Luna or Clif bars? While they are relatively high in sugar and calories (not any higher than Nature Valley granola bars though), they have lots of vitamins and minerals. They aren't exactly granola bars, but they might be able to help satisy your craving.
Recipes	Steaming food without a steamer - ideas needed	Nov 25 2007 19:08 (UTC)
I steam all my veggies in Ziploc steamer bags that go in the microwave... I'm not sure how effective it will be with manda pitha but you could always experiment...(assuming that you have a microwave).
Vegetarian	Gas?	Nov 20 2007 01:59 (UTC)	10
I doubt that being a vegetarian makes you gassy and bloated. However, you may have added something into your vegetarian diet that is causing it. I would suggest cutting out a certain thing one day and see if the bloating/gas goes away, if not try cutting out another thing.
Foods	Anyone else addicted to Arctic Zero (the whole pint is 128 calories)?	Nov 15 2007 02:51 (UTC)	13
This is a bit off-topic, but has anybody ordered the Carbawhey products they have on that website? I was thinking about purchasing some of the chocolate soft serve, but it comes in powder form and I have no clue what to mix it with. Does anyone know?
Foods	Canned Pumpkin and Instant Oatmeal.	Nov 05 2007 04:24 (UTC)
Thank you all for your responses! I hope to try some of these recipes in the near future.
Foods	Healthy soda?	Oct 29 2007 00:26 (UTC)	15
No drink is as good as real water, especially a diet soda. Splenda and all other artificial sweetners are very unhealthy and should hardly ever be consumed. I would suggest trying to drink water flavored with lemon or crystal light packets.
Vegetarian	Questions for all the veggos-have u ever cheated?	Oct 09 2007 02:45 (UTC)	5
Hmph. After reading Bombshelle's post I think I have cheated, unintentionally. (I had Broccoli cheddar soup at Chili's). I guess I will have to be more careful next time.
Vegetarian	Bumper stickers	Oct 05 2007 15:37 (UTC)	2
There are plenty of slogans on www.peta2.com. However, I think that most of them pertain to Vegetarianism. If you search around the site you may be able to find one that works though.
Foods	Any ideas for less expensive healthy foods?	Sep 30 2007 23:00 (UTC)	17
I love Luna Bars if you want some sort of snack during the school day or something. They are pretty cheap too, on sale for 10 for $10 at my grocery store currently. Might not be the same for you though. Also, there is a website (www.wesaveyoulots.com) which sells nutrition bars extremely cheap. I must state that they are past their sell by date, but somebody on CC wrote to the Luna website and they said that the bars will be fine. Hope this helps.
Foods	What are some weird food combos that you love?	Sep 29 2007 02:46 (UTC)	28
Before I went veg, I loved hot dogs doused in ranch. Shudder at the thought of eating either now. Also, baby carrots with barbecue sauce and baby carrots with spicy bean dip. That's about all I can think of.
