my favorite quick meal
I love Indian food! What I do is buy the "Indian in a box" curries, either Tasty Bite or the Trader Joe's brand. I like the saag paneer (spinach & cottage cheese) best. There are ~2 servings per box, and it's all prepared. I make a big pot of brown rice and freeze individual 1 cup servings. When I'm packing my lunch, I…

Your favorite low-cal snack foods!
Whatever they are. I work the graveyard shift, and for about 10 out of 12 hours at work, I am sitting on my bum. I used to just stuff my face while I was there, but no more.

Green tea before working out...
So I got some Celestial green tea today. I've never drank it before. But I drank it right before an intense workout. Afterward I felt really strange.. not sick or anything. It's hard to describe. It was like bad anxiety? I never drink caffeine. I haven't had caffeine in a couple of months. Maybe I had a caffeine overload?…

Tofu-ideas?
I'm nearly always way under on my protein and at or over on my fat/carbs (can't stand fish). So while looking for what I could eat to jack up my protein, I took a look at Tofu. I've never been fond of it although I've only tried it once, but it certainly appears to be an excellent source of protein while reasonably low in…
