Wow thanks so much everyone :D!!!! I did alright then :) My mother in law made 750 grams of pasta for 6 people. So I'm roughly estimating 560 calories per person for the pasta. :) Of course it's more because of the sauce, but the sauce wasn't too many calories. :)

I feel terrible since I ate such a huge plate of pasta. :( But I absolutely love stuffing myself at dinner if I have the calories left. Today I had 50 grams of chocolate cereal with milk (270 calories), oatmeal (50 grams) with water (175 calories), 50 grams of chocolate cereal with milk (270 calories), then I burned 400…

Thank you! But unfortunately I wasn't able to measure it because the sauce was on it before I went to dinner.

Thank you so much futuremanda! I heard that cravings mean your body needs a certain vitamin, so I thought my body must have been craving calcium if I was craving soda. I think it could be emotional more likely then, like old habits, because I like it, and as a treat.

If I crave it a lot, I don't deny it to myself. I never deprive myself of anything I really want. I'm just curious as to why it's happening and why primary on those days.

I wish I could help, but I'm struggling with IBS myself. I always have to rush to the bathroom several times a day without fail. I've tried the low-FODMAPS diet for 2 months, but I didn't notice any difference. :( So I'm not sure which food triggers my symptoms or if it happens with anything I eat/drink. I noticed the…

Exactly! Pretty strange isn't it!! It's weird since it's practically the same thing, just prepared a different way.

Yeah it is interesting. I realized it today when I ate 3 boiled eggs. I decided to try boiled eggs since they wouldn't have to be cooked in oil and that would lessen the calories. I really thought the one with oil and veggies would be more filing as well! I always use a pack of mixed veggies which are delicious :D! I also…

Thank you! It makes sense my body is exhausted easier because it has to carry such a large amount of weight. It does make sense, but I still thought it would get a little easier if I've been doing this for over a month. Yes I am eating at a calorie deficit!! Around 1,600-1,800 calories per day. So far I've lost 46 pounds…

Thank you for the suggestion :) I really love doing cardio though because it allows me to eat more and build up my fitness. The thing with weigh lifting and training is that honestly I don't enjoy it at all :( The only reason I'm doing it is to hopefully lessen the loose skin I will get. But I get pretty bored of it within…

anyone? :(

That is pretty strange you are on the low side being from Tucson! But it does happen. The problem is here in the Netherlands, they don't sell supplements like calcium or vitamin D really. I had to get a prescription just for a iron pill! Unfortunately we don't have a Costco here either. :( I will look at the links you send…

Yeah it is :( I'm actually not sure if it's illegal to order them from the internet ha ha. I don't think it would be. It would be expensive to get them imported from America though. I wish there was another way besides having to take a pill always. But it really sucks feeling so tired and having no energy. I don't know how…

In the winter I do have been taking Vitamin D supplements from the doctor and they are pretty expensive unfortunately :( Now that theres been a bit more sun, I had my levels tested again and they were alright. But I still constantly feel tired and have no energy. Here in the Netherlands, you can't really get a lot of…

Wow thank you so much for the clarification! I always heard you should weigh foods before you cook it. I'm glad to know boiled eggs are a exception! I was worried they would weigh more afterwards.

Thank you! I did weigh it with the shell on. I was in a hurry and i didn't think the shell would add much of a difference.

I actually buy them at a small turkish shop. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any calorie content label on them, so I just weighed the egg including the shell to get a general idea. It is a pretty small egg, but I'm not sure if it would be small or medium. It says that a small hard boiled egg is 60 calories and a medium…

They are small silver fish :) I also think there are small redish ones with spikey fins. The corn with breadcrumbs sounds awesome! :D

I found out what type of fish they are! Just asked my husband ha ha. In Dutch, there called Baarsje voorntje. But I'm not sure of the english name and google translate doesn't help. :( If anyone recognizes them from google pictures, do you know what is best to use for those fish?

Ohh ha ha! I haven't seen any here. :( I tried digging before.

I never knew about using dough, that's really awesome :)! Thank you. Too bad the beans wouldn't work ha ha

I actually haven't found any squid here really. I live in the Netherlands, so we have a little bit of different items. :) I do want to try the beans, but I'm worried it won't catch anything ha ha.

we do use worms sometimes, but we are going fishing tonight for a hour or two. I dont have time to run to the fishing store to get worms right now, so I'm going to the grocery store to get something since I have to get dinner for tonight anyways :)

I'm not sure what type of fish they are, since I'm pretty new to fishing, but we fish in a pond, so the fish are pretty small. :) We normally use corn or bread as bait. There nothing special like catfish ha ha.

Wow that is pretty awesome! I never knew you could burn so much calories by doing house work or even by sitting around doing nothing! The amount burned from doing nothing surprised me the most since I thought the amount would be a lot lower. :)

Confession: I've been doing extremely well resisting junk food and haven't been really craving it. When I was at the store with my husband buying dinner for tonight, I saw oreo ice cream bars! I was so excited and shocked since I've never seen them here in the Netherlands and know they are new. I absolutely had to have…

Wow that one looks awesome :) Unfortunately I'm from the Netherlands though and Greek yogurt choices are very limited.

I didn't think herbs or spices might have high salt content, I will be sure to watch out for that. Thank you for the advice :D

ohh thank you for the idea! I normally don't get full on salads, but I love the idea of making homemade veggie soup! :D I will have to try it.

ha ha thank you! But I'm trying to avoid any grease, oil, or butter in the morning since my stomach can't handle it :)
