  • I need additional calcium in my diet and have been combining that with chocolate cravings by eating the Adore chocolate calcium supplements. 30 calories, 2 g sugar and 500 mg calcium. Sugar comes from cane, there aren't weird ingredients and they're organic.

  • I use a quart mason jar, which are weirdly trendy right now but also practical since its glass instead of plastic and has ounces listed right on the side. Also handy because it's a large quantity so it sits empty less often, but it's not big enough to be awkward. Also agree with the alarms. I work in an office so I have…

  • Yes, this is hard for me, too. Are you eating much meat? I'm a longtime vegetarian, which seems like the obvious difficultly, but many diets recommend eating largely veggie, and it's common advice for a healthy lifestyle, so it seems more difficult than I thought it'd be. My current focus is to practice eating whole,…

  • Thanks for the advice on the flax and chlorella. Obviously, yes, I'm trying these one at a time to see which one is being evil... but there are more than 10 goodies there and I had a bunch of smoothies prepared, so identifying a few to eliminate first was my goal with this post. Why so many items? Why not just berries and…

  • For those on Team Weigh Everything: Is there a secret or hint to logging food to find the basic, simple entry where you have multiple options for serving size? You know, those magical entries where you can choose s/m/l OR 1 cup OR 100 grams or 1 ounce? I haven't found that secret and, really, weighing stuff is easy.…

  • Aldi! For some reason, I had a bad image of Aldi in my mind before a friend started taking me shopping there regularly. Now I'm angry at how much time I wasted having the entirely wrong impression - that place is awesome. 90% of their offerings are significantly cheaper than a standard grocery store, and some stuff is so…

  • Weighing for the win. I think the random measurements on this site are the most amateurish part. I get really frustrated when I look for a fruit or vegetable and have to search through numerous options to find one with a standardized unit (1 oz, 1 gram, anything!). The first entry for grape tomatoes has only one option: 1…

  • I'm going a totally different route here and addressing something essential to my* long-term success: If you're bored with counting calories and you stop completely without any substitute, you're screwed. If you're bored with eating clean and you stop completely without any substitute, you're screwed. But if you can…
    in "Eating Clean" vs Counting Calories Comment by jessica43062 October 2014
  • I live with a friend and we're both working on our weight. She's lost a ton. I just started. She has this ritual where if we plan all of our meals for the week, prepare them, eat them, and the fridge is empty on Saturday night, we win! Which, really, we do, because doing that week-in and week-out is a pretty great…
