Herbalife???
I had never heard of this before. I friend at work is doing this. I think it sounds insane? 2 shakes during the day, 2 sancks and a healthy dinner, supplements and a tea that claims to burn 80 calories?!?! She swears by it, sounds like th old Slim Fast commercial to me. I'm a skeptic by nature. I was just wanting more info…

Frozen Marinated Tilapia from Wal-Mart
I bought some Southwestern Spiced Tilapia from Wal-Mart Sunday. I thawed them out and made them last night in foil packets on the grill(Nothing to it just took it out of the plastic pouch, slapped it on a piece of foil and closed it up), they were FABULOUS!!! 100 calories for a 4 ounce filet, 3 grams of fat. 2 filets come…

Snacks on the go...
Anyone have any suggestions for good healthy snacks/meals on the go? I am a commuter student in college, and I sometimes will spend all day (9am-6pm) on campus. I'm on your typical college budget and hate to buy food on campus, even if it's healthy (which normally it isn't). I know fruit is always a good option, but I'm…

I had my usual toast and tuna for breakfast but then had a chocolate bar,…

About calorie counting
I've been on many diets, the only times it worked for me was when I was counting calories. Years ago I read that rougly you can calculate this. If you are sedentry multiply your weight times ten. Thats how many calories you are eating each day to maintain that weight. If you are modertely active multiply by 12,and maybe a…

I'd love to NOT be hungry!!!
I see alot of posts of people saying they are not hungry & can't eat all of their calories... I wish I had that problem. When I started watching what I'm eating, I adjusted what I was eating. Honestly, because of all the bad ingredients & things I was choosing for food, the actual amount I am eating now has increased. I…

So many cereals!? What's the best?
Grocery store shopping list is being prepared for the weekend... I usually don't eat cereal, but thought maybe I'd try some. I'm getting tired of my plain oatmeal with unsweetened applesauce. :grumble: What's the best bet? I used to love honey nut cheerios, but I'm sure there's too much sugar in them. I've tried the Kashi…

Kids and Diets?????
I was a chubby preteen. I guess around 10 or so I chunked up. My son is almost 10 and he has chunked up a bit. He has always grown that way...chunked up and then sprouted in height. Now that he is close to the age that I was when the chunks came and didn't leave, I am a bit concerned. He asked me the other day if he was…

Best way to get back on track when you blow it....
Was out of town at a restaurant I wasn't familiar with and thought I'd made a fairly decent choice, but when I got back home and checked the restaurant menu on the internet, man did I blow it. It threw me so far over my calories for the day it wasn't even funny. I was caught off guard by that. So that led me to thinking…

Newbie Question
I have been using this for about three days now and I find it relatively impossible to eat all the calories I am allowed. As I am very weighty I get a large allowance and as I am moving around like 200% more than I used to I am burning up between 400-900 per day(might not sound a lot, but it's more than I used to! :wink: )…

Dropped over 60 lbs myself and i'll provide a couple tips that worked for me. - Hit the gym or exercise (vital). When I started I wasn't going at all, now I try to go a few times a week, even for 20 minutes. - Use a weight loss site…

A Protein Question
I know that there has been a previous post about going over on protein counts, but I'm still not sure what I need to do. Without exercise, MFP recommends 45 g per day for me. I eat whole grain breads and pastas (5-8g), edamame or soy beans (8g), and I drink milk or eat yogurt (7-8g). By the time I add in the protein from…

Low sodium canned goods?
Do they exist? It seems like even the most innocuous canned goods are still loaded with sodium. This sucks a lot because a massive portion of my pantry is stocked with canned goods.

Cheat Day Question
I allow myself to have one day a week when I don't eat so well. I was wondering if any of you who have a "cheat day" go "over" on your calories on your cheat day and if so by how many? 100?200?500? My cheat day was today, I ate super clean all day b/c I knew we were having pizza for dinner(man was it good, it had been too…

If one is faced with two snacks, which should they choose: #1 - An all-natural, natural sweetener-only, whole grain granola bar that "costs" us 140 calories... or #2 - A 90 calorie granola bar filled with preservatives, processed grains and sugars, etc...?

Fat Free Foods - and "stereotype"
Growing up my mother was always big into nurtirion/ healthy food etc. (i am the only one in the family of 6 with a weight problem..) Anyways though- we were always told/taught by her that you shouldn't get the "fat free" and "reduced" versions of foods because the other things they added instead are just as bad for you or…

What would you order for brunch?
I'm meeting my parents for brunch at one of my fav places. The menu isn't exactly tFP friendly, but it's so delicious. I don't want to have a cheat day. (I'll only eat half of the plate to help with the cals too.) I was thinking about getting the Seafood Joe with just egg whites and lobster sauce on the side? Do you think…
