I am having a hard time with eating breakfast, I am a coffee drinker. I know I need to eat int the mornings, but I don't have any urge to eat anything.

The Importance of Water
The only reason I am posting this is mainly because I have skin problems. I'm 31, and I cannot seem to get rid of pimples. They pop up everywhere, no matter what I do! I was just about to make an appointment with a very expensive dermatologist, when I came across an article online, written by a dermatologist, explaining…

Fill Me Up Foods?????
I am having a problem snacking. :explode: :explode: Shortly after I eat I feel like I need something else. I dont know if this is just habit or if it is what I am eating. I have heard some foods make you fuller longer and others digest more quickly than some. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You! :bigsmile: Stacy

They are fortified with omega-3's and just one serving of the container (4 pieces out of 8), is 140 calories, 3.5 g fat and 6 g fiber! There is no seaweed on these. It is crab, avocado and carrot rolled up in brown…

Low Blood Sugar in Morning
Hi, Does anyone else have to eat first thing in the morning? If I don't eat first thing my blood sugar drops and I get nauseus and sick to my stomach (NO, I'm not pregnant). I wake up at 6:30AM and have to have a Slim Fast or a yogurt. Then I eat breakfast around 8:30. Therefore I've consumed about 500 calories before…

I just fell off the wagon in a huge way!
I just clicked "complete todays entry" and it said if every day was like today I would GAIN 7 lbs. in five weeks! Man that feels awful! And the crazy thing is I don't feel like I ate that much. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

I'm not sure if the food I'm eating will do anything
Thus far today I have had two slices of Orowheat double fiber bread, 80 calories total of Blue Bonnet light on the bread, a large banana with one serving of smooth peanut butter, and I'll probably have some yogurt and granola and oranges and a salad and get up to my daily calories by the end of the day with similar health…

starvation mode
When I completed my enrty for today, it said I consumed too few calories and my body will go into starvation mode. I'm just not very hungry todyay and normally would have eaten more. How long does it take a body to go into starvation mode? Should I go eat something even though it's after my evening cut off and I'm not…

too much protein
I'm fairly new (8 days-4 lbs.!) and discovered pretty much from the beginning that I go WAY over with my protein. I always have extra calories and carbs, but, boy, it's the protein that I am having a really hard time controlling! I have been walking alot for exercise, just so that I can get a slightly higher allowable…

"Resistant Starches" and glycemic load?
Hi, I've asked this in another thread but I think it's been lost due to the thread title. If a starch is a "resistant starch" (which I interpret as high fiber according to food lists I've seen), will that curb the spike that supposedly comes when consuming such a food? I'm specifically thinking of things like high fiber…

Good frozen veggies
If you have a Trader Joes near you, you must try the Harvest Hodgepodge frozen veggie blend. It has broccoli florets, julienne carrots, cut baby corn, water chestnuts, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, red peppers and onions. 3/4 a cup is 30 calories. I also like a lot of the other frozen blends they have out in the grocery…

Well I am suprised!
Here is what has been going! I have been dieting for a little over a week now. I have stuck to it very well. I decided today after I had eaten very well all day that I was going to my favorite restaurant and eat my favorite meal and just get right back on track. Before I left I logged my dinner to see what the damage was.…

1479 calories left---help!
Hubby and I went bike riding today at a wildlife refuge and pedaled for 75 minutes-- MFP says I burnt up 1247 calories on that ride, which means that even after lunch out, I've got 1479 calories left to eat today. Right now, I'm actually at a deficit for the day as far as calories eaten/calories burned. I had planned to…

Pizza
Does anyone know which pizzas are the best to buy when you go grocery shopping. Because pizza is one of my favorites and I used to get delissio but it is really bad for calories and fat. Or does anyone have any good recipes for homemade pizza?

Chicken Breast size
I don't have a food scale, and I'm finding it hard to figure out what my average chicken breast contains in calories. Can anyone help me out? I buy the bulk bag of Tyson boneless skinless chicken breasts from Sam's. Are they about 6 oz each? How big is a 4 oz breast supposed to be? :embarassed:

sticking to diets at parties
How do you all deal with going to parties and special events? Do you log what you eat that day, or just "take a day off" while still trying to eat fairly ok. My birthday is next weekend and I am having a BBQ with some friends. The evening and night will likely be filled with eating....BBQ'd hamburgers, salads, beans,…

Home grown meat?
Is there any reliable way to judge meat that is NOT bought at the store? My husband and I are from farms in WV, so our meat comes from animals that our families have raised. For the main part, it's pretty lean, and I really don't eat the steaks much anyway (they're HUGE t-bones), so I leave them for my husband, but as far…

Could anyone tell me
How bad it is for your diet if you're going over on carbs, but not calories? By going over on carbs, I mean by like 60ish grams.

MMMMMMMMM!!!!
I had the Trader Joe's Wasabi Shrimp Sushi Rolls for lunch. Man....was it filling! I don't usually get sushi because it seems like a lot of calories sometimes (because of the rice)...but I forget out filling it is because of the rice too!! These weren't horrible. 180 calories and 5g fat for 4 rolls....2 servings per…

Has anyone tried Slimquik Cleanse?
I have been taking Slimquick for several months now. I really like the energy that it gives me and it does seem to curb my munchies. I am not taking it as a "quick fix" and haven't lost insane amounts of weight or anything with it... but I do find it helpful. I was at Walgreen's today to buy more and noticed that they now…

Be careful when using other's nutritional info
I was entering what I plan on having for dinner tonight so I can have some idea how much I have left over for snack. I plan on having homemade tacos, and I saw that someone else had entered nutritional info for a homemade taco with ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and cheese so I used that for my entry rather than trying to…

There was only one listing and I'm not sure that it's accurate, but supposedly they are 350 calories each!!!! And they're not even big cookies! So…
