Hey all, sharing what I've been working on. NutriTrace is a self-hosted nutrition and wellness tracker that runs entirely on your own server in a single Docker container. I built it because every commercial nutrition app has the same shape. You hand them years of food data, body measurements, and biometrics, then the app gets sold or pivots or goes premium-only, and your data is held hostage. I wanted to track macros and pull in my Fitbit data without participating in that. The basics: daily food diary, multi-ingredient meals, recipes, body stats, water tracking, day-level notes. Personal food database with photos, barcode scanner, imports from Open Food Facts and USDA. Statistics wit...

for TREATS btw, not their actual drinking water :) I sometimes make little baked thjngies or cereal to give the birds as a treat especially when they’re out and about (new food keeps them occupied instead causing trouble when i’m busy lol) a lot of these need a little bit of water, but I’ve been using this stuff for myself for a bit now and realized….. is there any reason as a sometimes thing it isn’t just a net positive to use it in those recipes? Not replacing their actual water of course, just the sometimes stuff with perishable ingredients anyways. I’d of course be sure to not drink directly from anything I pour it from, so besides that, is there any reason not too?? Ph...

OK frazzled neurodivergents, I want to share something I started doing two weeks ago and HAS STUCK so far. I have been trying and failing to get away from microplastics, processed foods, and the expense of frozen meals for lunch, keurig k cups, and buying coffee on the way to work. Making coffee or matcha in my pour over cup each morning just wasn’t working. Keurigs took too long too. I never had enough time. It dawned on me two weeks ago in a eureka moment to just brew enough coffee for whole week. I put it in a huge glass mason jar and put it in the fridge to pour iced coffee each day. Just pouring a glass each day was life changing, but mixing in ice and oat milk after still took...

Soooo good, plenty of food

OK so...got this Garmin 245 Forerunner second-hand. I've been using it for almost 2 months and it's been great--I'm mainly wanting to lose some weight, and alongside a calorie-tracking app I have so far been successful losing weight by charting CICO and keeping a calorie deficit. About me: 41F, athletic-ish, I've been very disciplined about my exercise regime for decades. I'm one of those who thinks it's not a workout unless I'm sweating bullets. So I do a lot of home cardio (HIIT, kickboxing, cross-training, using videos) and the occasional outdoor jog. I know the Garmin ***** at accurately tracking HR for these but generally it says I'll burn 300-40...

(17, ftm, on hrt, ≈57kg, 5’4) For the past 3 or so weeks, every single morning, everytime i wake up i crave the sweetest food and i get so angry if there isnt anything, i end up eating straight up sugar and i just cry. Im worried theres something wrong with my blood sugar, i have never craved sweet foods this much. My diet is OKAY, could be better, but i do get quite the bit of protein, vegetables, carbs, and i eat foods with sugar, just like i always have. I get around 9-10 hours of sleep every night. im wondering if this is worth a doctors visit, or i just need to improve my lifestyle

How can both be on one bag?

I have to be in the 1% of people where Reta makes me feel like utter dog **** all day everyday and I can barely get out of bed. I’ve been on Reta for 3 months so far, I originally started at 0.5mg for 2 weeks then progressively dosed up to 2mg and have sat here for 2 weeks. When I say I have zero energy and want to goto sleep by 12pm daily I mean it.. doing the slightest chore is tiring and I’m envious of everyone who takes reta and feels normal or better. I have lost weight on it.. but it’s not worth feeling like this. I’ve done everything from eating more calories, to better foods, more protein, adding multiviamins, drinking good quality salt based electrolytes daily, increasing w...

I do not go near protein shakes. My power and strength are not reliant on some sweet flavoured powder derived from milk waste products off a factory floor. Healthy and powerful humans are built from the food around them... The globalists want you living off powders and pills strong enough to get up but too weak to rebel. Long story short - eat more steak. \#health #nutrition

This is what happens when you stop training hard and start training smart. At 28 I was in the gym 3x a week, sometimes 2+ hours a session. I thought more time meant more gains. My diet was average, and I was drinking every weekend. Despite all that effort I could barely put on muscle and had no idea why. At 32 I hired a personal trainer and everything changed. Dropped to 5 focused 1-hour sessions a week, dialed in my protein intake, cut back on drinking, and started actually progressive overload lifting. The results came faster than anything I'd seen in those previous years of grinding. Now at 36 I'm 116 lbs, lifting heavier than I ever have, and honestly in the best shape of my...

Spotted at Norcal Newpark Costco. Picked up a box to try but curious if anyone has already tried and can comment?

Wondering about starting solid foods and I know it's optimal to introduce allergens early and often to reduce the chance of allergies developing. Does anyone have any studies that define how often "often" is? Like, if I want to prevent a dairy protein allergy, does my child need to be eating some form of dairy every day? Is there any benefit to giving it to them less vs more frequently?

In the current issue of *Journal of Nutrition*, Maki et al. publish new findings from the US-based Aegis cohort study reporting on the association between serum biomarkers of inflammation and serum n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) [(1)](https://jn.nutrition.org/article/S0022-3166(26)00193-8/abstract#). The biomarkers of inflammation reported include the classic acute phase proteins C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA), two soluble adhesion molecules (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) and “glycoprotein acetyls” (GlycA), an emerging biomarker of inflammation. The GlycA “signal” that is measured in ser...

I’ve managed to lose 9.3 kg in nearly 6 weeks, which I’m so happy about. I feel confident in my diet and understanding of protein, nutrition and calories. I’m the lightest I’ve been in like 5 years (still heavy with a lot of weight to go). But.. I need help with exercise tips! I’m a mother to two under two, not possible to go to the gym. I walk a lot but need more strength training that I can juggle around the chaos of a toddler and baby.

Hello! So I 29/F 196 lbs have been getting regular bloodwork lately because my epilepsy has come back. My question is prior to restarting an AED my GFR in June was at 84 which I was told is a little low for my age but they weren’t concerned. In January I began taking Lamictal for my seizures. My blood work three weeks in had my GFR at 80 no big deal according to the doctor. My creatine had risen and my protein levels had dropped but not by a lot still within normal range. My March bloodwork my GFR was 67 and my creatine is now high and my protein is now low. Beyond the normal ranges. Now I’m getting ready for my April bloodwork which wasn’t initially planned but they want to start mo...

**TL;DR:** Melatonin is a hormone, not a vitamin. Research shows it only helps you fall asleep about 4–7 minutes faster, yet many supplements contain up to 478% more melatonin than the label claims, along with unlabeled serotonin. If you’re one of the millions of people using melatonin to sleep every night, you might want to look at the actual data. According to the NIH, use in the U.S. has skyrocketed, but there’s a massive gap between public perception and clinical reality. Here are 6 facts from the latest research (including Dr. Matt Walker’s insights) that might change how you view your nighttime routine: **1. It’s a "Starting Pistol," Not a "Fuel"** Dr....

This comes up constantly and it's one of the most frustrating things to navigate,you get your results back, B12 is in range, your doctor says you're fine, but you're exhausted, foggy, and feel anything but fine. Here's what's actually happenin Serum B12 measures how much B12 is floating in your blood. It doesn't tell you how much is getting into your cells, how efficiently it's being transported, or whether your body can actually use it. These are completely separate questions. A few genetic variants make this gap significant: FUT2 (rs601338) : this gene determines your secretor status. Non-secretors, roughly 20% of the population, have significantly im...
