Gotta try this great health food bar!
The Clif Mojo Mountain Mix bar is my all time favorite snack. They contain raisins, nuts, chocolate chips and have the consistency of a rice krispies treat. The salty sweet combination is totally different and very satisfying. There are other varieties available but the Mountain Mix flavor is the best. I eat one every day.

What supplements do you take?
I'm a big fan of drinking green tea. I also use reishi extracts (its a mushroom which is reknowned for its medical benefits both in supressing cancer as well as many others) at least once a day. Beyond that, I take my one-a-day multi-vitamin (Men's Health Formula) to make sure my nutritional needs are met, and for prostate…

Banks...question
I had posted this yesterday in another post......this was my past week before weighing on Thursday. This has been pretty average lately. I am just trying to get a good idea of how many calories to eat, especially on the days I work out. I think I am fine on the days I don't. Also, the calories burned is based on the…

What is your favorite "cheat day" treat?
I have one "cheat day" a month where I get to eat some "bad stuff" (within reason of course). When it comes time to "pick my poison" I usually eat ice cream or chocolate. Used to eat Chinese food on cheat days until I found out how much fat, sodium and sugar it had:noway: What do you all eat on your cheat days?

Sushi
Sushi has got to be the greatest diet food ever. High in iron, potassium, fiber, and pretty much every other healthy thing you could look for. My friends and I went out for dinner this evening and I was terrified about my calorie count, and it turns out that despite having 2 6-piece sushi rolls, a salad with ginger…

will this affect me?
To make a long story short, the past 2 days have not been so good for me. Both days I had a binge on foods that are healthier than most (dark c.c. cookies, nothing hydrogenated), but still they were 150 cals. each. So the first day was ok because I made up the binge in exercising it off. The second day was worse. I started…

Going over on carbs and protein
When it comes to carbs and protein, I consistantly go over my limit on both by about 20. I usually stay within my limit on cals and fat. What can this be doing to my body? I do exercise...hiking 30 mins twice a week and using a weighted jumping rope 30 mins three times a week, but other than that I'm pretty inactive during…

Man this is hard!!
I am trying to take the advice and eat more on the days I work out. I guess my net calories have been pretty low. So I have calculated my dinner and dessert and have my calorie intake up to around 1850 (when I usually stick to 1550 even on days I burn like 700 calories).........I just feel like I'm cheating or like I will…

The baked french toast is my layered whole wheat home-baked bread with cinnamon, egg, milk, vanilla, a pure maple syrup. How do I find out calorie amounts for such things... ??? I would…

Hmm, eating like a vegetarian!
Just realized I have been eating like a vegetarian all week! The last time I had meat was on Sunday. I have to say, it hasn't been hard. It wasn't even on purpose and I have still been getting protein, etc. For easy lunches, I have been trying more Amy's and Cedarlane products, which are really good. Yesterday I had Amy's…

A new pizza question
The only other dieting I ever did was several years ago with the atkins plan. IT WORKED. The first week I lost ten pounds! Then... it stabalized and I got "stuck", nothing more came off and I was discouraged and abandoned the whole thing. My question is... I'm still thinking like an atkins dieter... meat, cheese, egg,…

Sodium
I have been really good at cutting my sodium down, but every once in a while i will have a can of soup. But the past 2 times i have had a can of soup my stomach started to hurt about 30 minutes after i finished eating, do you think this is from the sodium because my body is no longer used to such high amounts?

FDA and food labels?
So, I got curious and found this: A food with a label declaration of calories, sugars, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, or sodium shall be deemed to be misbranded under section 403(a) of the act if the nutrient content of the composite is greater than 20 percent in excess of the value for that nutrient…

Great American Cookie
While I was ordering my healthy grilled chicken sandwich and fruit cup from Chick-fil-a in the mall, I got a whiff of the Great American Cookie Co next to it and used it being that TOM as a mental excuse to have a cookie. I chose a big Chewy Chocolate Supreme and, AFTER enjoying it back at work, I looked it up. According…

How much fiber?
I've noticed that I tend to eat relatively little fiber throughout the day. To rectify this I've been looking into getting fiber supplements. However I'm not really sure how many grams of fiber I should be looking to consume every day. Is there such a thing as too much?

Mini Pizza Pot Pies!
