Try mashed cauliflower. I over boil mine until its soft then sprinkle a little seasoning on top and mash it. Tastes just as good as mashed potatoes.0

Agreed! Cauli-mash is the best! (If you have a food processor it's super easy and fast!) I break up the whole head of cauliflower in to smaller parts, sprinkle with garlic powder, and steam it until very soft (10-15 minutes). Then put the cauliflower, minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste in to the food processor until it's nice and smooth. It's not EXACTLY like mashed potatoes, but it's satisfying and delicious.0

Have you tried spaghetti squash? I cut mine in half. Clean it out. Place it in a glass cake pan upside down with a little water in bottom of pan. Microwave it for 10-15 minutes. Cool a little then scrape it out with a fork. It has the texture of pasta but without the carbs. I put a little light butter, salt and pepper on it and it is good! Some people put sauce on it like real spaghetti! Good substitute!0

Hi. I just joined on Friday...finding out how to track everything....so much work right now.
the tough part for me is when i go out to dinner, lol0 -
-
I recently started as well... I think that it is kinda fun to do all the tracking. Plus when I enter everything I am much more aware of what I am eating and if it is worth the calorie content. When I see how many calories I have burned from exercise I helps to give me a sense of accomplishment.0

I have been on mfp for 5 days now. I'm looking for recipes that I can find ingredients for. I live in a rural area where Wal-Mart is the only grocery store. My plan is to go to a farmer's market once a week to get fresh veggies. There's no way I'll find things like salmon or hummus here. If you don't farm it or hunt it, you won't find it!!

Hummus is easy...buy canned chck peas or aalso known as garbonzo beans. Drain can add 1 tbs oil and about 1/2 cup water. Puree using stick blender, food processor or regular blender. Add juice of 1 lemon and hot sauce to taste. add more water if too thick. Enjoy with pepper strips. nothing exotic just yummy.
another...
cut zucchini in strips, dry on papper towel for 1hour to dry out. spray with pam or dip in egg wash. roll in bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for about 30 min till crispy

You don't have to change the foods you like to eat, just eat less of it. Smaller portions is the key. Weigh it out to find out how much you are really eating. I like to eat out at Texas Roadhouse and what I do is immediately cut my steak and potato in half and only eat half and take the other half home to heat up for another meal. Yeah don't have to cook. Now if you like to eat sweets I would definitely try to cut out as much as possible. Maybe only have that sweet high calorie dessert on your eat up day that way you don't have to eat more which I found I couldn't do just eat higher caloried foods you like on your eat up days. (In case you don't know what an eat up day is, it is the days you eat at maintenance calories instead of deficit calories which should be once or twice a week. This resets your system to continue burning fat.)0 -

I steam broccoli and put homemade pasta sauce over that instead of pasta. I make the sauce with fresh tomatoes, long green onions, mushrooms, garlic, spinach and bell peppers sautéed in a little olive oil. I bought some gluten free organic spaghetti made from edamame at Costco but I haven't tried it yet. The nutrition profile looks good, though, 200cals, 2 g fat, 21 g carbs, 24 G protein, 5 mg sodium per serving. Ingredients are edamame and water. I'll be trying it out sometime this week. I'll be surprised if I like it as well as broccoli as I could eat my weight in that stuff, but I like all the protein in this. I don't like meat so protein is hard for me.
