I like LeanFit which I buy at Costco. To me it has the best taste for the price and is super low carb which I look for.

I use cream and MCT oil in my coffee, cook with butter or olive oil, use olive oil on salads, etc.

I personally think it is never a good time to have milk but, if you enjoy it, have it whenever.

I do vegetarian keto

Glad to find others doing keto. I am a few days back to doing vegetarian keto

I have an Actifry and love it! It makes for a quick way to cook things. Makes great potatoes, vegetables, tofu, etc. I like how it makes my kitchen less hot than the oven and it is less hydro.

Medicine itself cannot cause you to gain weight. Some will make you gain temporary water weight, some may make you feel hungrier than normal causing you to eat more and some can make you feel more tired causing you to move less... those factors would contribute to weight gain.

It is possible you are eating more than you think you are. Have you been eating high sodium foods? Lots of prepackaged foods? Start a new workout routine? Are you using measuring cups for all liquids and a food scale for anything other than liquids? Are you actually logging everything (that bit of cream in coffee, oil used…

1,200 calories is way too low for most people so it will most likely be way too low for a nursing mother. I would change your settings to have daily calories higher. You can either set to maintenance and let nursing make your deficit or have a deficit set and then in the food tracker there are entries for breastfeeding…

I prefer the black bean pasta over the chickpea one.

Quorn is amazing! Just keep in mind that a lot of them are vegetarian but not vegan. I wish they sold this in Canada.

Whey wouldn't be vegan if the OP wanted to become vegan/plant based. OP, for protein powders there are many vegan options (pea, hemp, soy, etc.) that you could use. I get more than enough protein from plant sources. I use tofu often, I make my own seitan (if you have celiac you wouldn't be able to have seitan), there is…

You get some extra fat and protein in whole milk so therefore, you will feel full for longer. Personally, I don't believe cow's milk is a requirement for a human diet and do not consume it.

Soy milk isn't a dairy product. Try a nut milk... almond, cashew, hazelnut.. there's also coconut, rice, quinoa, etc milk. Or, just don't drink any form of milk.. it's not required.

I love the Simply bars. 120 ish calories for 16 or so grams of protein. They are vegan

I love the Rise brand kombucha. The hibiscus and rose hips is my favourite flavour but all of them are great.

I would suggest changing your goals so that you are getting more calories. 1,200 is usually far too low. I find I lose better when I am eating more calories.

Feel free to add me. I am vegan... or I should say plant based because I think vegan is more of a lifestyle and I am still in the process of excluding anything with animal byproducts in it or tested on animals.

I skip breakfast everyday during the week. I usually only eat breakfast on the weekends. A lot of the time if I have a late lunch I won't eat dinner but just have a snack. Sometimes I'll eat dinner at 9/10 pm. Eat if you are hungry.

I don't tend to count cups or ounces. I drink a ton of water but I also drink coffee, tea, pop, etc which all count towards your daily intake. Add flavours like lemon, orange, cucumber, berry, etc. or just drink what you can and then drink coffee or tea, or even eat high water content foods like cucumber or watermelon.

This does not sound healthy. Way too much sodium and not nearly enough protein or other nutrients.

I use them for the protein, fibre, and healthy fats. I also use them as a vegan egg substitute in baking

It isn't a horrible thing to do, they are just filled with sodium and not always the best of ingredients. What about preparing your own? I got a bunch of Pyrex containers and once a month I do a cooking and meal prep day. I premake a bunch of meals and pop them into the containers and into the freezer for grab and go…

I use them daily either by pill form or by drinking kombucha and they just digestion. I give them to my daughter daily and a high quality one was one of the only things that helped her constant constipation issues.

I get a lot of ideas and recipes from YouTube. Are you going plant based or vegan? Vegan technically includes any products you use in life as well as food you consume. There is a lot of hidden dairy and animal products which can be tough so do a lot of reading online. Vegan includes animal products or byproducts as well…

I don't worry about it. I use hot sauce almost daily. When I make cauliflower buffalo wings I use 1/4 to 1/2 cup for the sauce and eat the entire amount that I make. It has never made a difference for me outside of minor water weight gain sometimes.

I track my calories eaten on MFP but, use my FitBit for information in regards to calories burned and daily targets.. it updates MFP automatically once I sync so it's all in one place.

This is why now I love that places with more than one or two locations must put calorie counts on the menus for each item (at least where I am in Ontario they are required to). Makes eating out much easier and no need to look at the website before going. Salads are crazy sometimes with the calorie counts! Especially with…

It could be due to an intolerance to a certain food. This happens to me if I eat certain foods. I had testing done for food intolerances and once I figured the issues out and removed those foods, the bloat is gone.

I have kale and spinach to help boost iron intake. Spinach I blend up in smoothies. For kale I either have Kale chips or chop it up and mix with some chopped brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, dried fruit, nuts and poppyseed dressing and make a huge salad.
