None currently; I try to get as much as possible from food. Plain Greek yogurt on most mornings for probiotics (this has actually made a huge noticeable difference in my digestive health). Calcium from dairy and kale (I used to take calcium pills, but now I get all I need from those sources). Iron from random stuff, like…

Had the most random dinner today...healthy, but random. *two scrambled free-range eggs with a bit of organic whole milk, dried garlic flakes, lemon-pepper seasoning, and a tomato *two light mozzarella cheese sticks *a smoothie made from one banana, one cup unsweetened coconut milk, one cup organic spinach, and one cup…

I have kind of the same foods on hand at all times: fridge: *vegetables: greens such as kale or spinach, tomatoes, bananas, anything else that catches my eye *dairy: plain Greek yogurt, various string cheeses, milk, butter *other: eggs, tofu, coconut milk, peanut butter, various condiments freezer: *various frozen…

Kashi whole grain crackers! They make a lot of different flavored varieties as well (sea salt, veggie, garlic pesto).

Definitely not giving up sugar...seriously that just seems like a sad way to live your life tbh. But I need to cut back on my sugar after going on a huge and shameful binge this week...frappucinos two days in a row and everything (and a giant hot chocolate the day after that). Even today I am over by 24 grams so far.

This is my "everyday breakfast" during the week: *4 oz Tyson boneless skinless chicken breast strips (I get the pre-cooked frozen ones since I have no stove) *a Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt *a bowl of oatmeal with 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries or mixed berries (it basically just makes the oatmeal taste like berries) *a…

Sometimes people are just like that though...my fiance could eat an entire chicken by himself in one sitting tbh. Back when we had a stove I always found it annoying to buy meat because he would eat everything on the first day and there'd be no leftovers.

Pasta is super cheap, and the Ronzoni Garden Delight pasta has half a serving of vegetables per serving. I can get it on sale for 88 cents a box in my area. Tomato sauce is also fairly cheap. Oatmeal is another healthy and cheap item. You can top it with frozen fruit, which is cheaper than fresh fruit. Or bananas. Bananas…

All this "detox" stuff is BS. I do love water with a packet of True Lemon or True Lime though. I find it to be more hydrating than plain water, and it's still 0 calories without any artificial ingredients. Kind of off topic but Stash Tea also sells these packets of unsweetened powdered iced tea in different flavors. So you…

Today I'm grateful to be putting my life together. And that I had ravioli for dinner, because ravioli is delicious.
-
I got the Taylor brand from Target and I also got a Taylor brand scale for weighing myself on.
-
There aren't any in my area :( But thanks for the suggestion anyway! Yeah I am confused as to why they're so hard to find here...it seems more useful than a whole package unless you're using the cream cheese for baking or something. Perhaps that would help. You can get food poisoning when a food isn't technically past the…

It's ok to cut mold off hard cheeses but it's a bad idea for soft cheeses.... "With these cheeses, the mold can send threads throughout the cheese. In addition, harmful bacteria, such as listeria, brucella, salmonella and E. coli, can grow along with the mold. Mold generally can't penetrate far into hard and semisoft…

It says on the package to use within 10 days after opening. The actual expiration date if you keep it closed is months later.
-
See I thought of that but then I thought it might get runny after thawing. Has anyone tried this?
-
Technically this is brunch since I'm having it at 12:30 PM, since I got distracted from eating breakfast by cleaning the apartment. *Smoothie made with one banana, 2 cups organic baby kale/baby spinach mix, and one cup So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk *Two cage-free eggs scrambled with a tablespoon of organic whole…

Nope, I love grocery shopping! I have always loved the supermarket for some reason...I just think it's really peaceful...or something. I have the Buy Mode music from the Sims stuck in my head when I go there...LOL. As for being tempted by stuff, that's why you make a list. I buy one or maybe maximum two of junk food items…
-
Right now I'm eating 1/2 cup of frozen organic raspberries and 1/4 cup of coconut flakes...I think that counts. For me with raspberries it's more about breaking the monetary bank...one bag has 2.5 cups and is about $3.69. But they're sooooo good (my favorite fruit ever), and still cheaper and less moldy than fresh…

Wow that's really interesting! I have to tell this to my panda-obsessed friend. Is it just me, or are pandas the most naturally selected against species, ever? I'm surprised they even survived this long.
-
Hey you're way ahead of most people.... Maybe I can get my fiance into V8, he HATES 95% of vegetables and I have to bribe him to eat them every week. I like V8 (the sodium makes it extra delicious) and used to drink them every so often. I'm actually wondering now if they might be a good option to pack in my lunch because I…
-
Wow, never heard of fructose-free before, but there were a few months where I didn't eat fruit because I read all these articles proclaiming "sugar is evil!" Eventually I got over that nonsense. Bananas and berries are the only fruits I like (and apricots but those are expensive/unavailable), but now I eat them almost…
-
Wow that looks amazing! You're making me hungry!
-
I'm in maintenance. I usually eat the same thing for breakfast during the week because having a routine helps me get out the door faster. I want to last until lunchtime without getting hungry, so I have a ton of protein in the mornings. And I also make sure to get some fruits and vegetables in. I just modified my breakfast…
-
Yeah you really don't need to give up unhealthy foods forever. I think if you have at least a small treat every day (and maybe one larger treat a couple of times a week) it helps you stick to your diet overall. I had cookies or chocolate every day when I was dieting, just a small portion. Plus if you work out, you'll have…

LOL I realized last week that we both forgot to get each other Christmas presents. Like we had presents picked out for each other and just forgot to go out and get them. Fail. Anyway idk, we don't make a big deal of holidays. Last year we went out to a Szechuan restaurant and had cupcakes from a nice bakery, and he got me…

Crackers with toppings -- like goat cheese and jam, or hummus and a vegetable slice, or peanut butter and a banana slice, or a little bit of tuna salad, stuff like that. I saw a Triscuit ad today that had Triscuit appetizers topped with a small piece of chicken, a tiny slice of avocado, and a bit of sriracha. There are…

1900 calories a day total. I don't generally do cardio (would like to get back into it at some point, but I'm naturally lazy and busy with other things right now) and I don't enter it into the "cardio" section when I do my normal walking to/from the train station or going up and down the stairs and around my workplace.…
-
Ok I just added it up. It came to about 2700 (my maintenance calories are 1810) and I burned off about 208 calories from walking. Not too bad I'd say.
-
I can't even imagine eating 7000!! What do these people eat normally? I didn't add up but I'd guess around 2500. I had a light breakfast: smoothie with greens/banana/unsweetened coconut milk, one Kashi waffle with no syrup or butter, and a portabella veggie burger patty with a bit of mustard. At my mom's house we had…
