calculating serving size
Hi Everyone, I have made a chicken veggie soup. Sort of a Minestrone and I add a little boneless chicken pieces. I have lost 20lbs since Sept. 11th, and I kind of got it stuck in my head that its the soup thats doing it for me. My problem is trying to chart it. I've got it to 870 calories per pot, which is approx. 12…

Yummy low cal dip (I think?)
So last night I made this dip using Fat Free Cottage Cheese and HVR dry mix. I think? this is low cal, but I thought I'd check with you all first. The cottage cheese is 80 calories, 0 fat, 3 carbs, 14 g protein for a 1/2 cup serving. (I mixed the entire container, though) I used a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix and…

I hate that I love food and that I'm up So early!!!

However my bf thinks that I should get better sleeping habits so last night I slept all night, I woke up at 6am starving though and I'm sooo mad because of it.

Speaking of fast food . . .
Tonight I had Hungry Jack's (Australia's version of Burger King). Gobbled down a grilled chicken burger, medium fries and a diet coke. Yum! Now, because I exercised lots and ate very lightly all day, there was lots of room in my calorie goals for this meal; in fact, I still have about 250 left to go for the night and it's…

Is it wrong?
I have a stupid question. As you all know from an earlier post, I am a Mt Dew junkie. The past 5 days, I have not drank anything but water, no soda. At the end of the day, if I have calories left over, calories before the one's I gain by exercising, is it wrong to reward myself with one soda as long as I follow it with a…

"Denying yourself may create feelings of deprivation, which leads to overeating." Aim for 150 calories in treats each day, such as… • An apple a day. Microwave a…

Sugar makes me sleepy
Okay so I just cheated and had one of my son's fruit snacks. It has quite a bit of sugar in it. Fifteen minutes after eating it I feel SO sleepy! Does sugar effect anyone else this way?

News Flash: Snacks are Healthy!
Research actually shows that snacking in between meals, or even eating 4-5 smaller meals throughout the day, is better for you than the traditional two or three larger meal routine. That is, of course, if you are eating nutritious snacks instead of the all-too-popular vending machine potato chips and soda, which many of us…
