| Foods | Baked Pastries - Unhealthiest food? | Jun 30 2009 00:44 (UTC) |
7 |
I am aware that its fine to eat foods with less nutritional value because you enjoy it, and I do it. I am aware that there are healthier choices as well, and I also choose those.
However, what I AM curious about is whether people think those zero-nutritional pastries are worse or french fries.... or something else? What do you avoid the most/least consume |

We don't have blueberry here in Canada!
I've only ever bought two boxes of miniwheats before.... maple sugar and strawberry. Both boxes, I finished in less than 2 hours. So, addict might be a bit of an understatement. |

That's pretty judgemental of the lady who was working there. I would NOT be impressed if someone said that to me (but I'm pretty sensitive about weight/diet comments) As for the sweet onion chicken teriyaki craving.... thats my favorite!! its not really that calorific for a meal.... Anyone know how many calories it is for a pizza sub? I can't seem to find it... |

Santonacci - The menu had said the sauce was "tomato al fresco white wine sauce" Leslazz - it probably was a true italian place, cause most of the pasta options on the menu were 'in an olive oil'. (which I had thought I was smart to avoid, but it probably ended up being the same) Hmph, I even got charged for drinking hot water. |

Thanks for your understanding guys! I did try to just 'fish out the pasta' but it was really hard cause they were parpadelle - so it was basically coatedddd with it.... I hope it was at least olive oil.... although it was kinda orangey oil, from the "tomato" I guess. |

Hmmm I have to say I don't eat much red meat. I do eat a ton of white meat though -- for example, today, I ate about a pound of chicken breasts. Yikes, I know. But I buy the sliced chikcen breasts from the deli (its like 130 cals per 100g) and they just taste soo good I eat it all at once :\ wayy too much protein. As for lean red meat - what about grilling sirloin steaks? I think they're pretty lean... or pork tenderloin. |

I sooooo want to try these, but I am too scared to buy a box lol! Cause I'll eat it all as soon as I open it, as with all sugary cereals.... if only they came in smaller individual packets! |

| Foods | Sugar intake? | Apr 11 2009 14:20 (UTC) |
2 |
Me too, I'm addicted to sugar.... in fruits (cause I go even more insane if its refined sugars, so I can't let myself start with those!) for example for breakfast i had: 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of blueberries, 1 grapefruit, 1/2 banana and 3 dried persimmons (fruit.... yikes, 100 cals each! fruit triggers my sweet tooth too....) So I'm pretty sure I'm like 300% of my recommended sugar intake already and its only 9am for me! |

I agree steamed chicken is probably your best bet. Next up would probably some seafood stirfry. I can't find a chinese place that offers brown rice though!!!!! Do most places have brown rice when you ask for it, jenny? I always wonder about the glaze/sauce..... its so shiny and gooey and thick. Now I know there must be a lot of oil in it..... but how much of it is oil? :S most of it? or is it mainly cornstarch or something.... |

| Foods | Processed Cheese? | Mar 21 2009 03:03 (UTC) |

Are Feta or ricotta cheese usually processed cheeses? How can I tell if they are natural or processed? What about the mozarella in little balls that are in water in tubs? How could I use those? Processed cheeses seem cheaper and more convenient eh?? |

haha rikaj, i appreciate the honesty. that was one things i was thinking about too. for those who claim food makes them happy.... is it more important to you than being healthy/skinny? cause i know food doesnt make me happy.... or does it? im not sure. |

I'm surprised as well!! However I wouldn't eat them. You'd probably be fine afterwards, but I wouldn't take that risk to save a couple bucks. Plus, I don't think you'd be *happy* eating them knowing they were 1/2 a yr old (considering you posted this as well :) |

Are you sure your only using 40g of all bran?? I find that tough for me!! Half a cup is veryyy little for cereal for me usually :( I have to use twice that amount! I prefer the taste of fiber one over all bran, but nonetheless, cereal is cereal... its still good! I usually do have to add something sweeter to it as well... either yogurt or fruits |

I agree! These bars taste wayyy too good cause its soo deliciously sugary... and sugar just calls out to me. |
