A question
So here's the thing. I'm living at home for the summer and my parents eat very late...sometimes after 8:00. I've found that pretty often I end up with a lot of calories to spend toward the end of the day, so I've been eating bigger dinners. It's tough to eat a small meal and finish off my calories after because there's…

I guess this is a good problem to have...
Ok, here is my stupid problem. I keep undereating and then at the end of the day, when I look at my calories and fat etc... I need more! So I try to eat something else. This is probably hurting me more than helping me cause I end up eating too close to bed time. I ate tonight and I wasn't even hungry, but I had only had…

Weight Management Essentials
I found this on Subway's website and I thought I would share it: Eat 3 meals per day and small snacks. Skipping meals or only having 1-2 meals per day may cause the body to reduce the amount of calories it burns and lead to overeating at meals. Eat slowly. This allows your body to tell more accurately when it is getting…
