Ketosis
So, tell me more. I'm pretty firmly lodged in a plateau now (have been in the same +-2lb range for about 2 months despite running/cycling daily, eating correctly, etc) and I'm considering a temporary foray into ketosis to kick things back into gear. However, I want to know more. I could never do it as a long term thing - a…

Holy sugar batman!
Seriously, for the first time ever I added sugar to my food diary and I was blown away. 72g of sugar, from a reccomended 30. Anyone else over a lot? And quite often? I usually only track carbs, fat, fiber, protein, and sodium.

.. and need your help. Please can anyone give me any advice as to lower calorie foods to pick please?

great crustless quiche recipe
I make this recipe every couple of weeks or so because it is so easy and doesn't require a crust. I just sat down and did the math (and used MFP) for the ingredients and I figured out it is approx. 576 for a quarter of the pie plate. **6 egg whites **2 cup. half and half cream (I used light) **3 X 1/3 cup grated cheese (I…

Chili's New Shrimp Salad..Rave!
Oh my goodness, this salad only has 630 cals, BUT get rid of the bacon, the cheese, and the fried tortilla stips and who knows how low it can go! It tastes wonderful and, although it has like 1000 sodium, it's still a delicious low cal option at a restaurant that is ridiculous for high fat, high calorie items. I figure…

Steel Cut Oatmeal
This stuff has been highly reccomended across the board... So, I bought a canister of it, and didn't realize until I got home that it takes an hour to make! Are there any shortcuts? Can I maybe mix it in with yogurt like granola? I quite simply don't have that much time to throw into making breakfast in the morning given…

Ceareal
It's just something I can't give up in the morning--I could literally eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner (I try not to do that of course.) What's the best cereal that I could get to eat for breakfast? Something that doesn't have a ton of sugar and I won't feel bad about all day if I decide to help myself to a…

Fast Food Reality Slap!
So yesterday I didn't eat that much because I was super busy, and when I did I made sure to be healthy. So when my friends suggested Burger King, I decided, why the heck not?

I kind of cheated tonight, and I don't mind :)
I had 1037 calories to burn through, and I have a feeling I did it with a little too much gusto. I don't care though! A friend and I went on a drive to nowhere and ended up at a Brew Pub in the Poconos, so of course we each had a beer. I also had pasta (which I only ate about 1/4th of because I knew I was going to be…

I am a chocoholic and I just like eating it but know I shouldn't so I spit it out…
