  • I loooved my Body Media fit until it died, that and wearing on my upper arm was weird, but its data was so good. I tried the Jawbone up24 for a month and hated it.

  • I also don't eat meat, and agree with all the suggestions so far. Especially to watch your iron and b12. I was feeling tired all the time and found that making sure I got some leafy greens in every day helped with that.

  • I love apples and Justin's maple almond butter. Sweet and has protein and fiber to keep me full. The almond butter I buy comes in single serve packets so I know I'm not over doing the portion. Justin's also does a chocolate hazelnut butter that is super tasty if you like chocolate.
