does water really help
Hello everyone ~ I have been reading that hunger and the desire for water are often confused with each other. I am wondering with the exception of mealtimes should I be drinking water when I feel hungery? I usually find myself drinking a lot of water but during meal times and before bed. I know the theory of drinking when…

Make Your Own Egg McMuffin
Had this for breakfast this morning... absolutely incredible. Cook Eggbeaters in an omelet pan with some nonstick spray (no butter). Cook it like an omelet and fold it over on itself. Cut it in half and put it on an english muffin with 2 slices of Canadian bacon and 1 slice of American cheese. It's a HUGE sandwich, way…

Logging French Toast & Ollive Oil
Wanting to make a healthy version of french toast (40 calorie bread & egg whites) but how do I charge myself the egg whites? If I dump 3 in a bowl and then still have some left after dipping the bread, do I charge all 3 or would it be safe to weigh before & after then calculate? My other issue is olive oil, If I'm sauteing…

Overeating Healthy and Overeating in General
I've been trying really hard to eat healthier. A lot more fruit & veggies & "protein"/100 calorie snacks. The problem I'm running into is that I either eat a ton of these things or I go off the deep end and really eat things that I shouldn't be eating (like, most of this week). Each day I start out thinking that I won't be…

V8 for weight loss?
Now, I know it's high in sodium, but my boyfriend wants to get it for me. I'm leaning towards the low sodium option, but is it helpful? I was thinking it could possibly substitute my lunch at school since 9 times out of 10 I don't know what I'm eating in the cafeteria and I get tired of left overs every day. Would it be…

Going out to eat with <1000 kCal to spare
Does anyone have good suggestions about how to order at a decent restaurant when you've eaten reasonably all day, exercised and therefore still have a balance of 800-1000 (or even a little more) calories left to consume and still meet your daily goal? I know, avoid the bread and olive oil served as a warm-up and limit the…

Help needed - overeating
Hi folks. On the days I go to the pool I can keep to my diet really easily. But the days I don't go, I overeat and end up having 2,500 or even 3,000 calories. I do not eat after 7pm. I do not eat breakfast on pool days because, if I do, I feel sluggish and also nauseous in the pool. So, on days I go to the pool, I eat…

Increased Hunger
I don't know if anyone has had this experience but up until a couple of weeks ago, I was fine with what I was eating, but now it seems like my hunger has increased.
