1 slice toasted oatmeal bread (it's large bread) topped with 28g goat milk brie, 2 eggs scrambled with some broccoli slaw cooked in and some hot sauce. Sounds small but turns out pretty big. I do best when I start my day with a well rounded macros meal. I eat less and later in the morning than I used to so it's almost…

I wish I'd taken a picture of my dinner. It was so good. I do fine as far as staying on track but I do like sharing something that turned out great. I sauteed some shaved Brussel sprouts (on sale cheap) in some olive oil with garlic, red onion, sun dried tomatoes, salt pepper and red pepper flakes. When tender, I added a…

You could stuff large pasta shells or manicotti shells with an Italian herbs flavored silken tofu then top with a good marinara and bake. I've used a regular recipe and changed the cheese to the tofu and it was good. I'd add a little more herbs than normal especially garlic if you like garlic of course.

I found a no bake key lime pie recipe and changed it to lemon. Everyday diabetic recipes Mr food test kitchens. I tasted a bit that was on the spatula when I finished making it and it's delicious. It was very fast and easy to make and a serving comes to 126 calories for my ingredients. Lots of low calorie options for…

I was just trying to figure out a way to make something lower calorie. We are math nerds here so we always have pie. Any regular crust is so loaded with butter so calories galore.... I was thinking maybe like an apple crisp or crumble. I might try some egg whites mixed with some oats to make a "crust" then load already…

Lemon meringue would be wonderful.

I got that today too. Also 18 count eggs are 2.49 plus there's 5% off eggs using cartwheel app then another 5% off everything if you use a target card to pay. I got a lot of good stuff today and saved $20. Dr pepper/diet Dr pepper for $1 on sale then cartwheel has 35% off Dr pepper then again the 5% off everything - 2L for…

Fish tacos are good. I would use the white fish for them. I used to think fish tacos sounded disgusting until I made them one day. I rarely have beef tacos now. I season fish with cumin, chili powder, salt and cayenne then bake it (or foreman grill). Toast up a couple corn tortillas and put some fish in each. Top with…

There are a lot more options for lower calorie in many fast food places now. And if not, I avoid disgusting American cheese (so not worth the calories) and no mayo/dressing to save calories and I don't bother with fries much now - I grew up having them extremely rarely so it's no loss for me.

Leaner beef with a strong tasting cheese (so you need less of it) like Bleu cheese. .. gosh that sounds good right now! I agree with baking some potato wedges. Potatoes can fit into a lower calorie day just fine. I'd weigh one small to medium then slice it to the size fries you like and maybe use an oil mister to get a…

It's not required on packaging so many entries will not have it. Even if you see it on your container now, it may not have been there when the entry was created (by other users FYI). You can create your own food entries and put the info you need on it. Then you simply use these entries when you log. You may have to…

I pretty much stick with something protein heavy or a 100 cal bag of nuts as my last food of the day and avoid too much sugar or other type of carb heavy foods. Otherwise I wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Every. Time. Time doesn't matter other than close-ish to sleeping.

I like using them to thicken something like making a pudding. I can make all the chia seed pudding and my kids won't touch it :D . They have texture issues lol. I absolutely love chia pudding. Hmm I should make some.

I'm so happy for you! That's an awesome nsv.

I never choose to eat there but if someone insists then I can tolerate the chicken salad sandwich with a side salad - it's decent as a sub for the fries but I'd never pay for just a salad there. I don't like their fried chicken and the waffle fries are limp and weird and not worth the calories. They did have and may still…

I watch this show a lot lately even if I've just seen the episode. I still haven't seen the Penny one. I feel motivated watching it and it does cross my mind when I'm tempted to throw caution to the wind and eat anything and all of it. I've never been anywhere near as big as them but with my (unrelated) mobility issues I…

Being able to do a weekend hiking trip before the year is out. I'm working on endurance now and losing more so it will be easier. Next comes a pack.

I'm going to agree with whoever said it's controlling behavior. So say you gain a few pounds like he wants. What do you think he'll find wrong with you the next time he gets caught with another woman? There's absolutely nothing ok with him getting a lap dance from someone else. If he thought it was ok he would have told…

Low fat cheese is pretty much string cheese for me. It has to have at least a little or its oddly dry. I do like laughing cow cheeses for spreading or mixing into a sauce but I only know the calorie count (35) and no idea if it has fat or not. I prefer at least 2% cottage cheese but sometimes the use by date determines 1%…

I add them to anything I can. Last night I mashed some beans in with laughing cow cheese and sun dried tomatoes to make a cheesy sauce to use on a pizza. The texture was a little different but it was really good. It would have been good on pasta too. Just now I mixed some beans in with cottage cheese and melted it, mashed…

Good tomatoes and no added sugar - sounds like they got it right. I never even look at jarred sauce because so many are so sweet and just not good. I completely ruined 2 large pans of lasagna many years ago by using jarred sauce as a shortcut. Me and my kids couldn't stand to eat it because it was like a tomato dessert -…

Moving more. Lots more. When I get out and move with extra walks or hikes, I also use my stationary bike more often and some home based strength training. Then, because I know I'm doing well in that, it keeps me logging everything. Moving definitely motivates me to pay strict attention to my CICO. I want to lose the rest…

I wouldn't trust the machine numbers at all. I've seen people logging 1000+ calories burned in 30 minutes on the elliptical. I always get a mental picture of them moving so fast they are a blur....cuz no way 1000 or even half that lol I agree with a HRM for sustained cardio. I also double checked on other sites (Google…

I use a hrm (polar ft4 - nothing too fancy) for sustained cardio but other than the steps my phone picks up when I am holding it, I don't track my overall activity. I never add calories for steps unless it's an intentional walk/hike and then I'm only adding for the specific exercise. Fitness trackers are great for some…

It doesn't appeal to me at all other than an occasional cappuccino if I haven't been somewhere else I could get one. I see a lot of people carrying Starbucks around more as a lifestyle and social status thing cuz seriously you can make most of it at home much cheaper. I know people who don't even like or drink coffee go…

I never bought expensive inserts to fix my issues. I did toss the offending shoes. A specific pair of shoes had me so bad I originally went in for xrays because I thought I had fractures. Quite painful. Getting better, supportive shoes and the night braces that keep my calves stretched fixed mine within days. My Dr…

Long hike today so I wanted protein and easy to make. Smoked rainbow trout and a jalapeño chicken sausage and 2 eggs scrambled with bell peppers.

That works for me some days although not as often as I used to. Kept me full through lunch and beyond. As long as you stay in your calories for the total day I see nothing wrong. A lot of people eat the bulk of their calories in a short window of time usually later in the day but again timing doesn't matter.

There's a lot I used to like and now find bland and/or salty and some upsets my stomach a lot. I used to love getting a whopper no cheese no mayo and onion rings. I can no longer eat a whole whopper most of the time and the onion rings make me ill :'( . If I go I get just a junior whopper. Other stuff I've changed what I…

+1 This thread is awful and sad.
