Mmmm!! Apple Pie!
I found a snack/treat to make that is low in calories and tastes delicious. I peeled and cut up an apple and then sprinked Splenda and Cinnamon on it and microwaved it a little. Mmmm! Tastes like apple pie without the crust--which is fine by me because I don't like the crust anyway!

lemon in water-does it help burn fat?
My health nut :tongue: friend squeezes a full lemon into each 16 oz glass of water. She said it helps to burn fat and rev up your metabolism. Anyone have pros or cons of this comment.

The George Forman Mean Lean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine
Whew, what a mouthful! :laugh: :laugh: But I love this griller. We use it for lots of meals, even veggies. If you don't have one, you should invest in one.

How many calories...
Should we eat, at the most, in one meal? I just had a burger and tots, and apparently inhaled about 900 calories. I worked out hard today so I didn't even come close to going over my max, but i worry about eating too much in one sitting.
