Macaroni Grill
I'm going to Romano's Macaroni Grill tonight for my MIL birthday. This will be my first trip to a regular restaurant since I started watching my calories. I've already looked at the menu online to see what their light options are. There isn't much to choose from! Either grilled chicken with broccoli and asparagus (I don't…

No Fast Food for the past 7 days! RECORD!
Hi, my name is Marci and I'm a fast food addict. Things that I'm trying to change for the new year/new me included cutting down on my fast good intake. I typically, between home and job, eat meals from outside the home at least 14 times a week including all 3 meal times. I must say that I don't count salad from away from…

Balancing calories/fat throughout the day??
I am not usually hungry in the mornings - I force myself to eat breakfast because I know it's important, but it's usually fruit or fat free yogurt. I don't really start to get hungry until mid-afternoon and towards the evening. My question is: If I am eating every 3-4 hours all day, but save most of my calories and fat…

Bad day
Today has been a really busy day. All I've had time to do is go to the gym at 630 this morning and burned off a cool 684 calories. The bad thing...I've only had time to eat a sandwich that took a total of 280 calories from my allowed 1,900 calories today. So with my 1,900 allowed and my 684 earned and my 280 eaten already…

Eat every 3 or every 6 hours?
Ok... here's the deal. I know that it is better for your body and metabolism to eat every 3-4 hours. However, when I eat every 3-4 hours... I always eat too much and go over my calorie limit. I'm just not satisfied with a few hundred calories (my limit is 1200) and I always end up eating at least 400 calories worth of food…

Food Diary Settings
I changed my Food Diary to track foods by hour, like 6am-9am. Just in the past few days I've been able to see my pattern and it's really helping me keep on top of things. I think this is a great way to track when I get my salt cravings and when I should drink the most water.

maragrine....one word...BAD FOR YOU?
well three words but ... It seems wrong that the stores will even sell us margarine. We use it to avoid butter and fat and calories and we avoid fat and calories to get healthy? I cannot even think about eating margarine after all I have read. Just go the web and enter margarine. . Does anyone have a good reason as in…

Do you eat differently or just recuce portions?
I basically eat the same things I've always eaten, I just reduce portions and measure instead of slopping it onto my plate without measuring. I can't afford to buy all healthy stuff, I shop sales. Oh and no-one in my family is a veggie lover, so it's hard to make family meals that everyone will eat, even DH will throw a…

Quinoa confusion! Help for the sake of my sanity!
Ok, so I decided to cook quinoa. I measured out 1 cup of dried quinoa, knowing that 1/3 cup dry is 160 calories (from Arrowhead Mills). I cooked it all up and gave myself a portion. The bag said that 1/3 cup dry swells to 1 cup cooked. So I poured myself a cup (it looked like there were two cups left over in the pot). Now,…

Go-To Meals:
You open the fridge and panic sets in. The cupboards elicit a similar response. Same for the pantry. You have no time and have to come up with dinner – and fast. But what will satisfy your hunger without requiring an hour of prep time? * Peanut butter and jelly is an old favorite that’s even better when served on toasted…
