Thanks. That kinda sucks since I'm trying to calculate what to eat based on what I've burned. :/

Aaaanyone?

^^^^^hahahaha

I've had that chicken before. I think I'm gonna switch to that one after I finish my tuna. That way I can switch it up. I found a protein shake that was only 150 cal with 30g in protien. I also got a protein powder and half a scoop of that in my greek yogurt for breakfast with a tbls of peanut butter on whole wheat bread.…

"cold, dead hand!" Love it!! That's how I feel about mine. I'm totally gonna try some of your recipes too!!

What's a zuchinni cake? I loooove zuchinni!!

I'm also an advocate of frozen food crockpot cooking. My chicken would actually come out dryer than if I used thawed chicken. Taste comes from flavor. You need to learn what flavors you like first then anything you put in cooker will taste good.

Mini sloppy joes with ground turkey...good for twins and me :smiley:

Thanks auddi..that's what I did today. I knew I wouldn't burn as many calories with the yoga so I went ahead to see what I needed work out wise to get me back under. I'll do the same next week. I "made" my own recipes to help determine what to put in my burritos to help me reach the protein goal but maintain calorie goal…

So I have increased my protein a good bit now. Breakfast is greek yogurt and kashi go lean (29g--sometimes i save half for a snack later), lunch has been chili but I'm going to make tuna with plain greek yogurt (24-29g--depends if I want 1 or 2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread), dinner will be mini-turkey sloppy joes (I…

um.....okaaaaaay lol

GOOOOOTCHA....thanks everyone!! YAY!! I get to eat!! lol :smiley:

Why should I be eating back some of my calories? I've had other ppl tell me I should be eating 1400 and not 1200. MFP tells me 1200 so that's what I've been sticking with.

Thanks Eric!! Cherry juice...haven't heard of that one :smiley:

So if my number is 1200 and burned 300...I should actually consume no more than 1350?

OMG...thank you so much already!! I made my food diary public now. Protein seems to be the hardest thing for me to eat when I'm not really focused on it. I'm trying to find way to incorporate more protein rich foods in my every day eating and also going to try a protein shake before and after my work outs. I have small…

So you know an alternative to the spiciness for the seasoning?

Thanks everyone!! Anyone have recommendations for pre and post workout foods/drinks? I've been told that I should be eating or drinking protein to help recovery

BAACCONNNN!!! Thanks Jen.

That used to happen to me until I started to use frozen chicken and cooked it on high. 2-3 breasts would be done in about 2 hours and falls apart. Frozen chicken will have more moisture so while it's cooking it keeps more the chicken more moist. Season as you desire :smile:

Best post EVER!! I've been looking for new lunch ideas too!! :D

I never eat as much as the calorie counter tells me. I'm either at the 1200 or less...I keep reading that it's important to "fuel your body" but I'm also afraid that I'm not able to appropriately calculate the calories I'm burning.

I do the cardio in the morning and then a HIIT in the evening after work. Every other day I add weighted hula hooping for 10-20 min.

I've been doing cardio like 5 days week...should is that bad?

I'm a "re-member". This time I have a structured plan thru Fit Girls Guide. I'm on my last week of a 4 week plan and I'm kinda freaking out. What do I do? I need structure. I need a layed out fitness plan. Anyone know a site that has something like that?? And you are welcomed to friend me :smile:

In Florida ...Lakeland and Brandon :smile:

Oh man...trying to fit in time to workout, get kids ready for school, making meals...and oh yeah...sleep...lol. Momma's Unite!!
