Target Calories for Breakfast
There's been a lot of talk about breakfast lately, so hopefully some of you have ideas. Is there a min recommended number of calories for breakfast to kickstart your body into gear? I ask because I'm trying to net 1,200 calories a day, after counting exercise. My breakfasts though - which I eat every day within about 30…

Mega Green Tea
anyone take any appetite suppressor? I was using slim Quick which seemed to do the job. Gave me a bit more energy with having to chug down a rockstar. I just pick up the mega Green Tea which only has 50mg of caffeine and whatever is in the 'secret' blend. I work very long days... between working 6-days a week, master's…

I've decided to make: Baked Chicken (butterfly cut, they look like little hearts!), topped with Salsa & Mozza/Parm cheese (kind of like chicken parm)... Side dish spaghetti noodles w/ tomato sauce with a…

Having trouble with portion sizes
Ok so as yall know I have been here a few weeks (Jan 21) and have had quite a few post asking questions, celebrating weight loss, crying over weight gain, injuries and trying to give support. I have a question about portion size. I eat 5-7 meals a day. I am rarely over my calories. At dinner sometimes I feel like the…

Chocolate
At the end of everyday I like to have a little piece of chocolate. It feels like a nice reward for getting through another day of fitness and I only ever eat it if I have enough calories and fat grams left. I've been eating these amazing dark chocolate squares I got from a company basket but they are almost gone. I was…

Pinata apples?
Anyone else tried these? I got them at the whole foods market in Philly a few days ago, and OMG they're amazing! They call them pinata apples because they taste like they're filled with candy. So sweet! However, for the life of me I can't find nutritionals for them ANYWHERE. It doesn't help that they're HUGE! If anyone…

Red potatoes
How big is a red potato supposed to be? Because I had a couple with dinner, and the database says about 100 cals for one. But these were pretty small, a little smaller than the head of a normal lightbulb. Is that right?

Okay, I guess...
Wekll, today was the day I have been dreading for a week! All of my extended family met at TGI Fridays for a going away party for my Uncle. I had been dreading what I was going to order the whole week, since TGI Friday's does not post their nutrition stats! After agonizing over the menu, I ordered a chicken caesar salad.…

Optimum 100% Whey Powder--any good?
So, I've come to the conclusion I don't really care about raw pounds anymore. I care more about body composition. Right now, my body fat is too high, even though (by most standards) I'm no longer overweight. So I want to gain more lean muscle and burn more fat. Yes, I mix cardio and strength. I'm considering adding a…

Small changes make a big difference
I love food. I always have and I always will. A large part of it I owe to my mother being a fabulous cook! She would make such a variety of foods that I grew up with an open mind when it came to ethnic cuisine. I can still enjoy these amazing foods. I have just learned to think differently about it all. I love Mexican…

FIBER
Probably another daft question, but, is it bad to go over on your fiber? I've gone over by 5g today, not a huge amount I know but if it has adverse affects I'd rather know so as not to do it on a regular basis. TIA:flowerforyou:

Detour Bar Recall ???
Does anyone eat Detour Bars. I often rant about them and how much I enjoy them. This week I have noticed that there are none on the shelves of grocery stores, drug stores, Wal Mart or Sam's.

Soda and taste buds
So, I've been very good and trying to avoid soda for the last 3 months and now when I look at soda, it makes me kind of sick. I have been generally drinking water, tea or milk. Do your taste buds actually start to change after a while? Everywhere I go, I order water and avoid the sodas. Just don't feel like them any more!

Low Fat
Most days I'm short on fat. As a rule our house is a pretty fat free zone. I'm wondering if I should worry about it. Heart Disease runs in my family so I take my Omegas and Fish Oil plus I try to add ground flax when possible. I know I could add more nut fat to the diet but right now I'm at 1200 calories and really don't…
