Nice work. I "hate" tracking food too with an app but am finding cronometer super easy, even the free version - and I'm finding it "fun".

Once you have your list of "Favorites" built up it's a matter of three keystrokes to search, one click to select then enter the grams - I use a scale for all food - i've done this in the past tho for carb counting. Now the app does that for me as well so it's not out of my normal routine to far. Here's my favorite list so far (work toward 30 foods, 30 different ways) - adding supplements too but I don't track those, just saw what they added:

Noticed the same thing. I found it on Amazon for slightly less (highly reviewed and rated), but if it's fortified, what am I really getting out of the yeast? I'll stick with my weekly organ meats and healthy proteins/veggies/berries. Great supplement for plant based, though.

Curiosity got me so I looked up that it's similar to brewer’s and baker’s yeast - so I went out on a limb and check out that in cronometer for a reliable db (same serving size = 16g)

Quite a bit different than the hyped up version from Anthony's and likely many others touting it as a super food. Good, but so is a steak

I knew it!! "Gliding along" for Thud means he's on the leaderboard in a challenge with over 1,000 members, AND for the period of January to May 16th…FIFTH on the leaderboard. I would complain about MEN and easier losses but Marty equalizes it with % loss.

Thud, The DDF superstar….I am copying his food list

I know it as Brewer's yeast, and it's a supplement for my cats to get them B vitamins.

But they get plenty of meat, too. But it's not fresh, and I think the Bs are water soluble and can breakdown in the can, perhaps.

I checked the label on my tub of Marigold Engevita nutritional flakes; nowhere did it say it has been fortified, but that may be down to different labelling regulations in the UK.

I eat the stuff as backup insurance on B vitamin rather than swallow yet more pills. Yes, I may be getting enough in my meats, but .. I like it in a salad with avocado, raw sauerkraut, broccoli sprouts and raw cyder vinegar.

Not the same as brewers yeast which I remember from the 70s. Brewers yeast tastes more every and yeasty; nutritional flakes are more nutty.

There's an explanation on livestrong.com, but the full page address won't copy paste

Ha! You're too kind Janet. I'm just following instructions best I can - I shouldn't be too proud of the extra fat I put on this winter - However, I'm really going to shoot for getting BMI to normal using DDF this summer - That would be in the low 180's - see how that feels and if it's sustainable - I don't want to work too hard at it

Maybe this one. Reading it now...

It's confirmed, Anthony's has supplemented the Hades out of their yeast. Good for them and any vegan/ vegetarian that consumes it, as they need those B vitamins. Those were most of the reviewers that I read. I'd be doing the same thing . . .

Stoked for round 4 of DDF for this one. Refining food list, developing hunger sense.

Thanks for the food list! I don’t need to develop my hunger sense, seems to develop all on its own

I'm failing on the NO...should have stayed on DDF. I logged for a week and threw in the towel. I don't understand all of this I guess. Not sure how to get the nutrients in and lose weight...

I just joined DDF for June. At least I'm comfortable with that plan. Not sure the NO is for me.

Good one Janet! Don't worry about the NO class Iceberg - I fail my first attempt. I'm studying it from afar and have been using cronometer for over two months now and really like it.

I'll try another NO class and skip DDF sometime in the future. Forget about losing weight, focus on nutrition - that's how you can safely and effectively lose weight without damaging yourself too much.

If you are more comfortable with DDF, do that, both is too much. But how I am handling NO this time, is after 5 fasting challenges, I now know my body is happy with a 6 hour, 2 meals a day schedule. My BG is STILL flat-line, only now lower in the 90s. So no brain cells used to chase a trigger, but still get the benefits of a fasting window that works for me for weight loss. Another .2 of a pound below my previous low, I count everything
