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…

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…

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…

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.

CRAZEE! ~ An Epiphany
Ok...so far I have had the nutritional counseling session with the Lifestyle Coach/Personal Trainer that I recently signed on with.

Carbs and Protein and Fat, oh my!
So at the end of EVERY day, I always go over my protein by, like, 50 grams, and over my fat by like, 10. But I always have at LEAST 100 carbs left over. Is that a bad thing or a good thing? I'm not doing it on purpose or anything. I did lose 10 pounds last week, which seemed like a whole lot to lose right off the bat, but…
