Happy Birthday CallieCat!:happy: Have a great day!!
A lot of you sound like you're starving yourselves! :frown: Isn't there a way to jump start our metabolism and eat real food not processed so much and still lose weight?
I don't know how to get in the protein and essential nutrients each day without eating more whole foods! So it seems like I eat a whole lot more than most of you!:blushing: I don't know if I eat more calories, but it surely does seem like I eat more food! Maybe that's why my progress is so slow!
I know I haven't lost much of anything since I joined this site, but I did lose 20 lbs previously and then slowly lost another 5 before coming here, and Yoga has helped a bunch with inches and flexibility.
Do what works for you! :flowerforyou: I eat more than anyone else I've seen on this site with my body size (5'0, 133 lbs). Most people my size seem to be eating 1200-1400 cal/day with exercise. Well, I feel like crap on 1400, and I can't IMAGINE trying to get through my day on 1200! Even 1500-1600 leaves me hungry some nights. No I'm not losing 2 lbs/wk, but I know what I need to maintain my activity level and I know I like to eat. I like slow and steady...it allows me to maintain my muscle mass so I look good when I'm lean!
I think you're doing great and you do eat more! I think that's good:bigsmile: I guess I'm trying to be slow and steady as well!:drinker: 
My husband teaches nutrition at a local college, and I can't see myself trying to do this any other way!:laugh: The crunchy bagels sound great so I'll look for them the next time I get near a WalMart ( probably in a couple of weeks) The one I'll be going to is 4hours away. There is a WalMart only 80 miles away, but I'm not going that direction! I guess I was worrying about some who eat so very little, and I shouldn't because each has to work in their own way! 
Love and success to everyone!:flowerforyou: Thanks for your reply!:bigsmile: 0 -
Happy birthday Calie!! :flowerforyou:
Brunch: 1 scrambled egg, 2 slices bacon, low fat multigrain waffle, REAL maple syrup! This was a real treat for me! I love "classic" breakfast and I never get to eat it so I decided today should be the day. It's gorgeous outside and I'm going to go run later...yippee!
Snack: not sure on this one, but I'm thinking a fluffernutter on an English muffin, or something else around 250 calories. I have some Greek yogurt I need to finish off too...
Dinner: homemade sloppy joes with 93:7 ground beef, ketchup, mustard, worcestershire (that was a doozy to spell), sauteed onions, a sprinkle of brown sugar, and various other seasonings. I'll put the joe on an Arnold's sandwich thin and eat it with some baked potato wedges. Probably throw a few steamed veggies in there too!
When I type this all out it looks outrageously carb-y to me, but I am still under for the day....strange!0 -
I am combinding the 3 threads so they will be together. You can post each meal or post all 3 if you know what you are eating. This should make it easier to find the thread Calie

I usually have a greek yogurt with extra blueberries added for breakfast.
For lunch a tuna packet with 1/2 tbsp mayo and celery and cucumbers and a pack of Special K 90 cal crackers (italian herb)
For dinner a big salad, a small chicken breast, and some kind of veggie and brown rice.
Snacks are usually string cheese and grapes or celery with peanut butter, or a Fiber One bar.
I AM NOT LOSING WEIGHT, AND I am getting a little frustrated. I work out daily and drink tons of water...I don't get it. I am wondering if I am not eating enough?0 -

It looks like you've lost 4 lbs according to your ticker! What do you mean you're not losing weight? That doesn't look like a ton of calories--how many do you average eating versus burning?0 -

Last night I ended up having smoked turkey wings sans skin and sweet potato with collard greens for dinner.
Breakfast: 2 packs instant grits; 2 tbp butter; 1 slice of ham
Lunch: Greek yogurt and Yoplait Vanilla Yogurt w/walnuts
Snack: Boiled eggs; coffee with sugar & milk; Yogurt
Dinner: Salmon fillet with sweet potato and greens0 -
breakfast: 2 egg whites, 1 tbs of Trader Joe's black pepper sauce, 1 slice of RF provolone cheese, all in side a La Bandarita low carb wrap.
lunch: 1 cup of Trader Joe's biryani (a yellow curried rice dish with raisins apples peas and bell peppers) 1 piece of romaine lettuce heart, 1 slice of onion, 1 slice of tomato, all inside a LaBandarita low carb wrap
Dinner: 1 Fit and Active chicken burger, 1 Trader Joe's Ultimate pretzel roll (way cheating with this one but it fits with the calories and fat) 1 tbs of Trader Joe's black pepper sauce, 2 slices of tomato, 1 slice of onion, and 2 pieces of romaine lettuce hearts, small non-fat yogurt on the side
snack: Recipe for homemade protein bars which are my usual snack and sometimes breakfast on the run
2 cups of Oats
1 cup of protein powder ( I buy Trader Joe's chocolate whey protein powder)
1 cup of Trader Joe's high fiber cereal-or a low fat, high fiber cereal of your choice
combine these ingredients in a large bowl
12 oz of honey
16 oz of peanut butter or almond butter
pour these ingredients into a bowl and microwave them for 1 minute-mix until smooth
combine all ingredients-towards the end you will probably have to use your hands-add more dry ingredients if it is still too sticky
press into a 9x13 glass pan, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator-refrigerate for atleast 3 hours before slicing. This should make about 36 bars if you cut them 12 shortways and 3 longways.....each bar has 123 calories 7g fat 13 grams of carbs and 9 sugars 5 grams of protein...these are great for before or after working out
You can also add dried fruit or chopped nuts to add crunch.
I guess you can tell I love Trader Joe's=I also work there!0
