I am so glad I did not spend the money on nutra system
I was on the nutrasystem website over and over and did not want to spend that money. Like everyone else I just don't have that kind of money. This so easy to do. I fill in my entire day the night before and take a bunch of factored in snack stuff to work. I nibble all day, eat my lean cousine or chunky soup for lunch.…

sleeping after you eat
Does anyone want to go to sleep after they eat. It seems like every time I finish one of my major meals I want to sleep. Lately I have been going for a walk or run afterwards so I will not sleep. I am wondering if there is a reason why. I dont eat too much my calorie intake is normally 300-500 calories each meal.

I have a horrible carb-problem :(
Hello, I just started using this site a short while ago, but in the last week or so, I've already noticed that I eat almost ALL carbs. I go over on carbs everyday while I struggle to meet my calorie intake :( I have a horrible addiction to them, because I'm a college kid, they're cheap and easy and filling. Does anyone…

nutrition value?
I know this question has been posted before but I can't find it. I just had lunch and can't find it in the database, It's my cheat day and I had a pizza bun from the bakery at the grocery store. It didn't have the nutritional value listed on it. I've looked up a few websites still can't find it! Does anyone have any ideas…

How much sugar should you limit your intake to.
I was just curious if anyone knows what you should cap your sugar intake at. When you eat a lot of fruit it seems you also eat a lot of sugar. I know it's healthy sugar, but isn't it still just sugar when you get right down to it? Leslie

CARB Confusion
I found this article and thought I would share it with you all. I stated in another forum that when I eat 800-900 cals per day, I have good weightloss...when I bump it up to 1200 (which is still below my BMR and yes, I know, not good for me) I gain. So I began to think...hey ...maybe its the amount of Carbs Im…

Consistently Low Calories
ok...so the BMR says I should have 1330 cals per day. For about 4-5 days now I have been under 1000 cals per day and felt full and fine, although when its time for a meal or a snack it's TIME! I guess what I am asking is this: 1. If my BMR is 1330 cals...should I be deducting 500 cals per day to lose one pound per week? 2.…

coffee creamer?
I LOVE COFFEE!! However, I use 2-3 TBSP of creamer in each cup (large cups = not those dinky 8oz ones) - I use up way too many calories drinking my coffee each morning - I use a french vanilla fat free creamer - but it is still approx 30 calories per TBSP - that is like 90-100 calories per cup!!!! I need the flavor as I…

KFC
Tonight for dinner I had a small fry, medium Dr. Pepper with lots of ice, and a twister; I feel amazing. This is the second "bad" meal that I had in a month and I felt it was time for one. It feels good to not have any guilt about eating fast food because I know that I'm active enough in my gym to enjoy an indulgence every…

Margarine is one of my weaknesses..........I have always over done it. A habit I have tried to change by buying Smart Balance margarine. But a tblsp seems to me that most the foods are still dry and lacking in something. Like a baked potato I have to choke it down for being so dry. I like margarine on all veg., toast and…

Today I bought some from Kroger - a package containing 12 pieces - and the whole thing ( 2 servings) was only 316 calories! It was a little high in carbs (60 grams for all 12 pcs), but low in fat (4 grams)…
