Not eating lunch?
So I have found that I feel fuller and have a easier time keeping withing my calorie goal if I eat a small breakfast, then "snack" every few hours then eat a bigger dinner . I almost always have room in my calorie bank for a snack after dinner, anyone else do this? I'm usually keeping my snacks as healthy as I can,…

Loaded Potato Casserole
So I recently made this dish, which was TO DIE FOR and feel like I need to share. Not sure about nutrition at the moment but I can't imagine it is "horrible" for you.... This is how I did it: Olive oil mixture (couple tbsps with some salt, pepper and oregano) 9 red potatoes, cubed, tossed with 3/4 olive oil mixture roast…

I just turned down a HUGE chocolate chip cookie.
Oh man, it was so hard lol. A coworker just brought all of us dispatchers huge chocolate chip cookies. I could have saved it and took it home to my daughter but knew I wouldn't make it, so I turned it down. I know this doesn't seem like much, but for me to turn away my best friend (chocolate), it's a big deal :happy:

Question for you all...
Over and over on these boards I see the calorie debate with 1200 cals. Just wondering, how many of you that say you are at 1200 cals, are only EATING 1200 or are you actually NETTING 1200? There is a big difference between the two and I think a big reason people get so much flack for their 1200 cal diet. If you are only…

Question about unintentionally low fat intake
I have been eating a lot of the same foods since I restarted tracking back in June, a creature of habit I suppose. I was reviewing my food logs, and I realized that I am usually a gram or two over my recommended daily protein, sometimes slightly under my carbs, but almost always well under my daily recommended fat intake.…

Need help with slight tweaking
This morning I completed my fourth bootcamp. I lost 2kg and 2% body fat. I lost 2inches from my thighs and waist but stayed the same on my biceps. I also lost some muscle. I am very happy with my results and will defiantly be bootcamping again when it restarts in three weeks time. I have really changed my eating habits…

striving for breaking even or coming in under goal??
so the website says that in order for me to lose 2lbs a week, I should aim to eat 1420 calories a day plus any calories I “earn” from exercise… so I obviously can eat the 1420, but with the activity I have been doing, which has been steadily increasing over the past week, my net calories are coming in under every day… take…

Possibly very strange question here.
When I was a little kid, my Grandma wouldn't let me have anything to drink until I finished my dinner because she wanted me to fill up on food, not milk or water, or use the water to 'wash down' the food (no matter how much I didn't like it!). I have also heard from dieters that alternating bites of food with sips of water…

Flaxseed and Green Smoothies

Aldi's Shocker!
So, I used to avoid Aldi's like the plague because I felt most of their stuff was unhealthy and was downright scared of their produce and meat. I can say with all honesty now, Aldi's has really made a turnaround (at least on the produce... still not touching the meat)!!! Their weekly produce specials can't be beat either!…

Hey guys- I need some advice on this! I was recently told that if I'm eating raw spinach without some type of oil, it won't digest properly and I might as well be eating grass.

100 lbs by Christmass, is it possible.
100 pounds, I got my eye on the money. I think this journey is within reach if I put my goals and dedication into it. Really th only way to bulk up that I see is to first gain then loose to leave the muscle underneath. With the Christmases season approaching I think its very appropriate. So gain 100 pounds I think I can do…
