Best pizza for the calories?
I recently had an Eating Right individual size frozen pizza. I think they're around 220 calories. However, when I was done eating it, my pizza craving wasn't satisfied! It just wasn't ooey-gooey pizza-y enough for my tastes! I prefer now to spend the extra 110 or so calories on a serving of red baron french bread pizza (in…

Bistro M.D.
I just started the Bistro M.D. food plan. Is anyone else using it or tried it? The food is pretty good, but it was not exactly as described on the website (i.e. I got different meals than what was listed on the website.) The food is much better, tasting and nutrition wise, than I would be getting otherwise. The plan is a…

What exactly is considered bingeing? What is full?
I'm starting to question what the true definition is... Is it only with sweets? Is it only if you stuff your face all at once? Is it only bingeing if you feel sick afterwards? Or is it considered bingeing if you just plain overeat throughout the day in it's entirety? I'm thinking that eating 6 small meals is logically a…

"When I eat that fatty food, it goes right to my...."
Well, for me the end of that sentence would be *stomach*. Most women don't seem to complain that the food goes directly to their belly's, but mine has always been this way--even when I was skinny. Diabetes runs in my family, and I know that this is an indicator of that... if you carry your weight in your belly, it's like,…

mandm's
y'know, they just don't taste as good as before! i had a fun size pack tonight--just b/c--and it was ok, but definitely not reaching for more. the apple i shared with my daughter was much yummier! it's funny how your tastes start changing as you eat more and more "real" food, instead of the junk. (oh, but those sandies…

YUMMY AND FULL OF PROTEIN!
I only recently had my first experience with garbanzo beans. I can't find the original post, but someone suggested sautee'ing them and then roasting them at 250 for a total of about an hour, turning every 25 minutes. I LOVE THEM! Until today, my favorite seasoning on them was garlic salt, but today I felt like Chinese…

Hot tea
Okay, my new addiction has been hot tea after dinner. Many, many cups. Does anyone know if this can count towards my water consumption? It's herbal so there's no caffeine. Beyond that I hope it's okay for me- it's Good Earth Sweet and Spicy and it's delicious.

Denny's HELP!
I am leaving in about 15 minutes to Denny's with my sister (her choice). WHAT do I order? I am looking, and most of their stuff is soooo fattening. I only have 600 calories left for dinner, so I know I am going to go over. But even grilled chicken sandwiches are like 500. Any ideas?

Can someone give me an estimate on my Indian dinner?
So, my friends wanted Indian when we walked past a Naan n Curry. I'm new to Indian food, so I was at a slight disadvantage. I'm not really concerned, because I had plenty of calories left for dinner, but I'm curious to know about how much was in my dinner. I ordered the plain ol' chicken curry--some chunks of white meat…

A reminder I just read about carbs: How to Get Carb Smart The key to eating the right carbohydrates is focusing on carbs made from whole grains that are high in fiber. How can you identify these products using a nutrition label? Carbohydrates, foods that contain simple sugars or starches, have been blamed for our epidemic…

ICK
I'm so used to putting flaxseed meal in my instant oatmeal at work but I ran out of the flaxseed I keep at work. I forgot to bring some more from home and now I'm eating my oatmeal without the flaxseed in it. I didn't realize what a difference in flavor the flaxseed makes. This oatmeal tastes pretty bland now. I used to…

sugar in whole foods
So this week I changed my Food diary to show me the sugar in things that I'm eating, and it is continuously over my "target" each day. The sugars that are adding up are not processed sugars, or even sweeteners, mostly it is from fruit and veggies. If I do use sweeteners its a little honey or maple syrup. So my question is:…
