Search for your nutrition questions…

Posted on | February 20, 2012 | No Comments

Hi Everyone… please remember to use the SEARCH BOX on the right hand side to find answers to your nutrition questions.

Often in the live shoutbox I have nutrition questions that I have posted about before …..  simply type in the food you’re enquiring about, click on search and it should take you right to the answer.  If you don’t find it, then please leave a message and I’ll add it to the list of things I need to research for my readers.

Thanks for taking the time to read and leave comments – It’s great to know what people are interested in reading about!

    • Guest_2728 : Hi healthguru, do you happen to know if the calories vary among different varieties of the same fruit, per 100g? E.g. Fuji apple vs Pacific Rose apple, Korean strawberries vs US ones, Chinese pear vs western pears, Navel orange vs blood orange etc... or are they just all basically the same? Your expertise would be much appreciated :)
    • Guest_4396 : Agree! Sounds like an interesting topic. I also read somewhere before that the best time to start a new diet is like on the first few days on/after the menstrual period (can't remember exactly tho)!
    • Guest_4126 : Hi, Guru, this might sounds wierd, but could you please help to explain the impact of female menstruation cycle on energy consumption, calorie burning and metabolism?? I resently read somewhere that female might comsume up to 300 more calories per day before and during their period; meanwhile we also have crazy cravings. would be great to control/regulate the diet and workout during that period of time
    • Guest_4412 : Hey, I was just wondering - when you state the nutrition info in foods, do you actually buy it and test it with special equipment, or are they just estimates from the ingredients?

    • Guest_3574 : 's waiting for the yogurt post:) sorry for the double post!
    • Guest_1944 : how about including other yogurt chains too, e.g. Sogurt, Yigloo, Yogurt place, Yoguru, Sour Sally (wisma atria) which has flavours like chocolate.. Since stores such as Yami yogurt already display nutrition info at their stores while other brands do not! And they all have varying tartness/creamin ess/iciness/swee tness too so the calories are definitely not the same..it'd be really great have a comparison of froyo across the various brands! I'm not the same person btw, just another reader who'

    • Guest : Hello! Just wondering, could you do a post on the frozen yogurt stores available in S'pore? Eg. Yami Yogurt, Sogurt, Yoguru, Frolick, etc. It must be difficult to estimate the nutrition content in frozen yogurt, but perhaps you could give it a try? I love having fro-yo as a snack, so it'd be nice to know which brands to avoid and which brand to go for! (: Thanks!
