Calorie Count

-


I have come across many people who struggle with their weight. Lots of people either want to loose weight, eat healthier, be healthier or are what I consider a 'skinny, fat person' Which is a person who seems to be in shape on the outward appearance but when it comes to their inner health. It is very bad.

We need to watch our eating habits, not only in order to loose weight if that is your case but also in order to survive and be productive. 

One way to do that is to count the amount of calories you eat per day. Go here http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calories-goal.php and follow directions in order to know how much is a healthy amount of calories that you should be eating per day. Once you have figured that out. You should eat just that.

Everything that you put into your mouth should be accounted for. Just as in your finances (If you are on top of it...) You don't just recklessly spend money without knowing where it goes right? If you do, you very quickly will not have anymore. The same way with your calories. They are valuable. If you spend them recklessly (on junky or high calorie foods) you very quickly will run out.

EVERYTHING THAT YOU EAT MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR 

Here is a site that you can daily keep track of what you are eating. It counts the calories for you. http://www.sparkpeople.com/

Also along with this and anything that you do. Heading toward a healthier, better you. Needs to include exercise. That is the key to healthiness and any form of weightless.  Cultivate a habit of exercising on a regular basis. A few times a week. Do something that is fun to you. Play a sport, dance, go to the gym, swim, ride a bike. Chances are if you exercise doing what you like to do. You will be more prone to actually doing it.

To a healthier life we go  :  )

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth.
