Home economics, cooking, balanced diets, special diets, cleaning techniques, how to care for a home, how to make simple repairs generally performed by homeowners usually must be taught.

With the advice I received I decided to penny pitch, go on a diet (saves on food) and basically buckle down on my spending so that I would be able to purchase all cash at the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013.

For instance if you have tried dieting was there a certain time of day or certain emotion that you felt just before you blew your diet completely.

Changed our family diet completely to healthy foods(this was TOUGH)10.

You'll get a steady diet of new stuff soon too ;-)

Thanks, Dan Diet

Raw fruit/vegetable carbs and sugars are ok, so eat them.

Here is what I found listed as an average daily diet for Michael Phelps:Breakfast: Three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, and mayonnaise.A five-egg omelet.A bowl of grits.Three slices of French toast with powdered sugar.Three chocolate pancakes.Two cups of coffee.Lunch: A pound of pasta with tomato sauce.Two large ham, cheese, and mayo sandwiches on white bread.Energy drinks.Dinner: A pound of pasta with tomato sauce.Six to eight pizza slices (basically, a whole pizza!).

I eat a wholistic diet mainly and was wondering if that is an option at the mess halls.
