    And who uses only a tbsp of peanut butter on anything?? That's like 1 bite. =/

    I often do exactly that... I find that a spoonful of pb with 2-3 well-placed chocolate chips on the spoon is a great snack for me about an hour before a run!

    My solution is minimal PB on low cal bread (i use 45 cal per flax multigrain) with a sugar free jelly the PB is such a strong flavor that it works and I like a massive pile in my bread of both so trust me.

    Use to worry about my caloric intake but now I just eat what I want when my body is hungry.
    My BMR is somewhere around 2,400 calories per day and I have MFP set at 1,500 and still have difficulties eating back calories at the end of the day/post workout.

    That is me most days. But I at least force myself to a higher day every 4th day (3 low 1 high 3 low 1 high, etc)

    I've switched to Silk Coconut milk vs. real milk and I save some calories, but my biggest weakness is sweet stuff, ice cream. Specifically Publix Key Lime Pie Frozen yogurt, I can't seem to just eat 1/2 cup. It's SO small. I bought some Jello Temptations to try to curb my huge sweet tooth.

    I love my milk chocolate but have switched to 80% and sugar free pudding snacks. On a positive note my new favorite food is spring roll skins filled with grilled shrimp and grilled or raw veggies and they are filling with minimal calories!

    Nuts. 1 oz isn't very many but for almost 400 calories 2 servings is way too much for my daily intake.


    I could not agree more!! I could eat nuts for every meal...

    I smile at my 120 calorie breakfest bar, but then cringe at the 280 calorie afternoon Snickers I can't seem to shake. It's SOO GOOD but really ruins my diary lol
  • If I'm having a regular day, then probably cereal, which is 130 with almond milk. If I'm binging, then chocolate, almonds, cheese, noodles or some kind of bread.

    Bruschetta Pizza from Crust. I get the healthier stuff but can't stop at 3 pieces, it is so yum.

    I can't make a few dinners I used to make, like broccoli and cheese pies, because they are too chock full of calories. Filo pastry is a no no!

    I can't have chocolate anything because I will just eat too much.

    On a normal day, my breakfast muesli and 2 coffees are almost 400 cals but keeps me going until lunchtime.

    Today it was the homemade pizza for dinner. I don't worry about it though, because I was still under on my calories, and it was so damn good! :tongue:

    Have you tried almond milk? Unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk has only 40 calories for a cup.

    I really love my morning coffee, which isn't the problem. It is the Coffeemate French Vanilla coffee creamer that I put in it. I have tried other (all) brands, but they are not the same. I have even tried the no fat and no sugar version of the French Vanilla, but no luck. I need to start limiting my coffee days. I would really loose a lot of weight fast.

    idk how you feel about coconut milk, i find it to be too thick but if i add some water to it and use a half cup in my cereal (1 cup is only 45 cals) i really can't tell the difference, it is quite good

    yes or this too, if you find a milk substitute or even mix half it with milk, that could help cut the cals and make a big difference :]

    I almost never go over my calories, but tonight the Disaronno is going to put me over. Other nights I indugle in wine, though I stay in my calorie range.

    Trail mix, I love it. I try to eat just one serving, but sometimes I cannot stop. I love nuts and sesame sticks. Usually, I am under my calories, but sometimes the carbs is over. :-(
