    Impulsive snacking when tired or feeling lonely. And usually the worst food choices too.

    Ok so here's a couple ideas.

    1) let's start posting recipes or meal ideas. We can develop a repertoire of great meals!
    2) for bad snacking habits, let's try to work towards not bringing the deadly foods on the house. This will help cut the availability of the snacks
    3) since we have a bunch of people in here that don't know each other, how about we do a weekly coffee meeting? If you can make it, great. If not, maybe next time?

    How's that sound?

    How about a weekly fun run and meet for coffee after at the forks - say a Wed ?

    Only problem with that is not everyone in the group is a runner. It would just be coffee for now.

    Here's a recipe from Sheila:

    2 slice (4-1/4" x 4-1/4" x 1/16"), Ham, minced
    1 cup, Broccoli
    1 cup (133 g), Sweet Potato
    0.33 Cup, Sauteed Chopped, Yellow
    6 large, Egg
    0.67 cup, Cream - Half and half
    2 tsp(s), Parsley, fresh

    For a Fritata! Bake it in the oven. OMG soooo good and only 500cal for the whole thing! 1 serving is only 187Cal

    ok.. Boiled a ton of eggs, pre packaged salad with hemp seed and pumpkin seeds for the week
    made a pork tenderloin for suppers - ready for healthy eating for the week
    Snacks ; keto brownie ( awesome recipe ) , Boiled egg mashed with 1 Tbsp mayo / tex mex scoops in a half avocado , or 14 Almonds with 1 piece of Baybel cheese, or 2 cups broth with Baybel cheese, Breakfast ; 2 boiled eggs, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt plain with 2 Tbsp of oil.
    Simple easy to grab and all on hand lunch 3 cups of mixed lettuce /spinach, 1/2 cup of peppers, 1/2 cup of cucumber , 1/2 cup celery, oil dressing , 1 tbsp of raw pumpkin seeds, 3 tbsp of hemp seeds- equals 1400 calories a day.
