Anyone have an idea of what the nutrition could be on 88/12 ground beef looking up different information and seems to be different opinions to this. Would like to know thanks!

Like 600-700 calories worth in a normal 2000 calorie diet.

I hear that they have many health benefits because they are nutritionally rich and I just had the thought experiment of how many are too many.

Online I can find that if you eat too many you can have an upset stomach, but it's unclear how many that is. Or otherwise what is happening in your body when you eat that number.

What would be other health problems would this cause? The main things I can think of is too much fat and too much salt (if salted).

For the sake of argument, let's assume that the rest of this theory-diet fills any missing holes in the daily nutrients needed.

I'm looking for a document or a filterable spreadsheet that contains the nutritional values of common food items. Thinking of a spreadsheet that has food items along the Y-axis and nutritional values along the X-axis. Along with the ability to filter based on either food items and/or nutritional values. Thank you in advance for any direction you can give me.

I was looking at the nutrition facts for boneless skinless chicken tenderloins and it said every 4 ounces is a serving and each serving is 22 grams, so given that each single piece is about 4 or more ounces that would mean every single piece is 22 grams each. I always thought 3 or 4 pieces were a serving. I feel like it’s too much protein in one piece but I’ve looked everywhere and all my sources seem to confirm it.

As long as the meals and snacks themselves are balances and enough, is there anything wrong/ negative from having the same meals and snacks each day to for convenience and to reduce stress. Like having the same breakfast lunch and dinner?

Order isn’t huge, but spreading protein across meals helps with fullness, energy, and muscle repair. Fast (yogurt/eggs) in the morning, moderate (meat/beans) midday, slow (casein/cottage cheese) at night. Do you time yours, or just hit daily total?

If so, how much per day (grams or cups) would be deemed "risky"? Billions of people eat rice everyday in large amounts but it tends to be white rice.

Was wondering about this and thought to ask here. If we take a KitKat bar and blend it with milk to make a KitKat shake, does that make it any healthier compared to just eating the KitKat on its own?

Milk adds some protein and calcium, but at the same time it probably adds more calories. Curious to know if there’s actually any nutritional benefit, or if it’s basically the same (or even worse) as just eating the chocolate.

“Don’t feed the kids sugary cereal”

As you do, I was reading the nutrition panel on the breakfast cereals and was puzzled when comparing them:

Kcals per 100g : Shredded Wheat 363 Shreddies 364 Kellogs Wheats w’h Blueberries 364 So my first question is, these figures are suspiciously similar, are they actual measurements or are they just put in a “block” with similar products ?

But what I don’t understand is if you look at the sugar content: Carbohydrates of which sugar/100g: Shredded Wheat 0.7 Shreddies 12.5 Kellogs Wheats w’h Blueberries 16.0

Greatly varying sugar content, but the same calorific value.

Am I misunderstanding something ?

Rules for Questions

• You MAY NOT ask for advice that at all pertains to a specific medial condition. Consult a physician, dietitian, or other licensed health care professional.
• If you do not get an answer here, you still may not create a post about it. Not having an answer does not give you an exception to the Personal Nutrition posting rule.

Rules for Responders

• Support your claims.
• Keep it civil.
• Keep it on topic - This subreddit is for discussion about nutrition. Non-nutritional facets of food are even off topic.
• Let moderators know about any issues by using the report button below any problematic comments.

What does it typically look like? What do you usually end up bringing home, and what things do you almost always pick up when you're at Costco?

Also, which offerings do you especially like, recommend, or appreciate there?

I understand that health is very complex, from nutrition to exercise science and so on.

But the health industry is so large that there are health claims about anything but either the science is too new or inconclusive or the science does not support the claims

Since health is pretty important yet also profitable, how can people know which science is legitimate and which ones are not?

As title says- do you weigh your bacon cooked or raw? I use the bacon grease to ready the pan for any other ingredients I will cook.

Assuming 1-2 servings per week.

There are two schools of thought here (and room for others as well). One of these says that you should enjoy your food, you should relish your food. Not only does it improve the quality of your life and your experience (some people even live for this), but it also helps significantly in the quality of your digestion, nutrition, and health.

The other school says, among other things, "No, that's not it at all" — you should maximize nutrition. Consider having a green smoothie first thing in the morning. One former commercial airline pilot called his morning green smoothie "green glop." It didn't taste particularly good. In fact, it didn't taste good at all; but it was jam-packed with nutrition.

I had a relative who used to drink something like this that was really, for me, hard to even imagine drinking because it had a liver powder in it. That's even more extreme than I'm willing to go. But I am willing to consider, and I have considered, and I have actually done the green-glop-in-the-morning thing.

These two approaches are very different. What are your own takes on these approaches, and on alternative approaches?

I don't know about sugar, but I'm more curious about foods like wheat or tomatoes.

Ignoring the high amount of oxalates in certain vegetables, would drinking like a gallon or more of cold pressed dark leafy greens or bitter plants straight from a masticator throughout the day as a primary source of hydration along with eating healthy food be the ultimate healthiest thing you could do?

As the question implies. I live in an environment where my family cooks alot of the food, however, they always add a pool like amount of oil into the pan usually using rice bran oil and grape seed oil and my concern is that it adds an extreme amount of calories from the fat on the food like chicken, fried eggs etc. By a few hundred calories and I go over maintence calories.

This is the nutritional facts for a gravy mix. Serving on the label is so small everything except sodium is 0. I'm trying to figure out the nutritional value of the unprepared mix in a large quantity for a recipe. Importing the label into macro factor shows 0 cals for a large quantity of this base which isn't the case (obviously).

I'm assuming my best bet is just to use another gravy mix which has more detailed nutritional facts?

Edit: my dumb a forgot the link

I want to learn more about nutrition. Could you please help me with reputable sources (with scientific validity) regarding learning this? As for my background, I am a highly educated person in general (am a research mathematician) but I do not have much knowledge about nutrition. I am skeptical of AI output regarding this as it does make mistakes, even with stupid things such as precise numerical values of widely available nutritional information.

Thank you for your attention!

ok not gonna lie i’m tryna eat better but it feels like everything healthy costs more

like fruits, veggies, good snacks, all that stuff is way more than just getting some cheap fast food or frozen meals. i went to the store and left with barely anything and still spent too much

i don’t have time to cook every day either so that makes it harder.

Has anyone here tried the food from this meal prep place? I just started eating their prepped meals, and holy moly their buffin muffins are just incredible. They market themselves as a place serving food with clean, whole ingredients. At first glance the macros all look pretty good. Almost too good.

I got my hands on the latest flavor buffin muffin “darc sport.” It’s 380 calories but I thought it was strange how the ingredients list Oreo and chips ahoy crumbles, but 0g added sugar. I’ve since been looking more closely at their labeling, and it just seems really vague. Like sometimes it just says “heavy cream,” and many of the buffins contain “wafers” or a “proprietary brownie blend.” You can look more at the different flavors and ingredients here: https://myhummusfit.com/products/darc-vip?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=flow&utm_campaign=Back+in+Stock+%28SMS%29&_kx=rgNeYpPthig11Aud1DdE0HaQkWJZaS6yo5ssWM9m0u8oHaMOTfUWGokNrF2mWKLi.T2JSVx

Also they aren’t FDA certified. I don’t doubt they have high standards for cleanliness and taste but the macros truly seem too good to be true. And a personal anecdote, I feel like I’ve gained a few pounds since eating them even though I usually use them as a workout snack. Anyone know more about what they put in their food? I would hate to learn the food is more processed and junk-y than they advertise

I’m sticking to a high protein, low carb diet and I just wondered if anyone has any good recommendations for recipes books OR books that allow you to meal prep quite easily? (I’m based in the UK in case that makes a difference).

Thank you :)

What are foods that are high in carbs, cheap and healthy and are safe to eat in (very) high amounts each day?

Apperantly rice is arsenic and is not qualified to eat in high amounts every day.

What are foods that are safe and meet this requirments?

Walmart has recalled some of its shrimp products in the US after radioactive material was detected in a shipment of seafood.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned the public not to eat frozen shrimp sold under Walmart's Great Value label, as it could have been exposed to a dangerous isotope in shipping containers.

One sample of breaded shrimp tested positive for the substance, the FDA said, but this positive sample "did not enter US commerce".

Consumers in 13 US states where the shrimp products are sold have been advised to throw any recently bought products among three batches.

"The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority," a Walmart spokesperson told the BBC. "We have issued a sales restriction and removed this product from our impacted stores. We are working with the supplier to investigate."

The spokesperson added that consumers who bought the recalled products could visit any Walmart location for a full refund.
