HOW MANY CALORIES PER MEAL?
How many calories per meal do you find you eat on average? Unless I splurge and go out to lunch, I generally eat around 200-300 for breakfast and lunch each. Add in my 180 or so calories burned for my walk, this sometimes leaves me with 900 or 1000 calories for dinner. I worry about eating so many calories for one meal,…

decrease my calories?
I am currently on the "lose 1 pound a week" plan and it is working well. I have lost a pound every week since I started (though I am scared to weigh in tomorrow). The calories are working out well for me, it is usually just enough, but sometimes I do go over or find myself wishing I had more calories left. While I am…

Everyone read! Don't eat this at Red Robin!
Yesterday I ate the BBQ chicken wrap at Red Robin with a side salad. On MFP is says that the wrap is about 300 calories. That is wrong! I looked it up on RR website, it has 1500 calories! I couldn't eat all day yesterday after that :sad:

Chai Tea
Ok so we may have to forgo the pumpkin pie for now but we can have chai tea brewed with skim milk and sweetened with splenda or stevia. It has all those great flavors and aromas of pumpkin pie and is sooo healthy and satisfying. Brands are important I have found...my fav is Good Earth. Sometimes you can find their vanilla…

Peanut butter
So when my boyfriend left for a 1-month business trip this Sunday (:sad: ) he left me with two open nearly full jars of peanut butter. Why he opened both of them, I don't know. But over the last 4 days, I finished one of them. I was looking at my food log wondering why I was 64 grams over on fat, and - duh! - I had 4…

Food advice...
So I have 300 calories left for today, but no carbs, fat, or protein left. usually I come out about even all around but I had a salad at Mcdonalds for dinner, thinking it couldn't be that bad but it put me over on everything but cals. Like I only had 20 grams of fat from other foods and everything else came from this…

Seriously, Paula Deen...
So I was watching Paula Deen (food porn) and she just called a hot chicken salad covered in mayonnaise, with a potato chip crust (get this) nice and light. Seriously, Paula Deen? If that's nice and light, I'll go ahead and make it for lunch tomorrow, I was wanting something really light and refreshing. Yikes.

I'm confused (but what else is new)...
:embarassed: And shouldn't be because I'm sure the answer is right in front of me, but I can't seem to get it through my thick skull. When MFP calculates my sedentary lifestyle calories then incorporates my exercise calories, the total number (around 1600 calories), is it allowing for the 500 calorie deficit for weight…

ugh.
i have calories left over but i am full, full, full. i wish i hadn't worked out so much, so i wouldn't have to eat anymore! is that messed up or what?! :ohwell:

Feeling Full
Since I started faithfully tracking everything I eat I feel so full and it amazes me. I used to be so hungry at night about 2 hours after dinner. Instead I feel more satisfied (no hunger) at all! I can't believe that this is possible considering I used to eat dessert many nights before MFP. What gives?

9:00 and 1000 cals to go! Ahhh !

I havent had dinner yet, tho im making some noodles with marinara, but im waaaay under protein and everything today. its just as frustrating for me lately to get all my cals…

Water ... Luke Warm or Iced Cold?
Ok, this topic may seem out of wack, but I have honestly been told... "Drink lukewarm water to lose weight" ... and "Drink Iced cold water to lose weight". My question... Has anyone had an results with this, if so with which one? I believe it's the amount, not the temp. BUT I may be wrong. So I'd love to read your input.…

Tired and under cals
So..here's my deal today. I am SUPER tired..have been all day. I was able to force myself to lift weights, like...12 reps and 3 sets each of my normal weight training. I'm also under calories by like 300 cals. I'm planning on eating those calories, but am wondering if I should force myself to do cardio too. I haven't done…

Why would a trainer say this?
So, one of my friends is currently employing a personal trainer to help her lose weight. I mentioned hungry girl to her, and I was shocked when she started picking out a flaw with every recipe, "I can't have that. I can't have that. I can't have this. I'm not allowed to have this for a few more weeks. I can't have..." so…

Sea salt vs. Table salt

can cottage cheese be a replacement?
If I'm making tuna or chicken salad can I mash cottage cheese down to a smooth consistency and mix that in with the tuna or chicken in lieu of mayo? Or is that gross? I was thinking about doing that and tossing in a bit of mustard and chopped pickles too, but I wasn't sure.... I don't know if anyone has tried this, but I…

Steel Cut Oatmeal
Ok, ok.... I just tried steel cut oats for the first time, I usually eat regular oat (not instant or quick). So I read the directions. Follow them to a T. As they are cooking, I am thinking, this does not look right. I am very skeptial. The pot I cooked them in has oats I think permanently bonded to the bottom. But you…

Hungry Girl
Has anyone heard of the hungry girl cookbook? I was in walmart last night and saw it, but I didn't pick it up. It looks kinda cool, it tells you the calories, carbs, fat, sodium per serving. I guess I was just wondering if anyone had it and how they liked the cookbook? Here is the website if anyone is interested. It has a…

Experiment
I noted that my doc wants me to do a 1600 cal diet daily. I'm usually up for that length of time daily or would be if I got eight hours sleep. I wonder what my system would say to eating 100 calories every hour. Oh I found 100 calorie cheesecake that's real good.

Aloe Vera Juice
Tastes a little like tonic water. I keep mine in the fridge and after power walking...down 6 oz. every morning. It is very refreshing when it is ice cold. Living in the FL heat year round it is important to hydrate. So...I figure if these plants have properties to heal burns (the gel part) then the juice is also good for…

How bad is it...
to eat a good portion of your daily calories after 8pm? I know some people swear by not eating after 7, etc, but is there truth to this in your experience? My husband and I don't even get home and have dinner ready until 7. On days that we exercise, we sometimes wind up with hundreds of calories left over just before…
