I like getting subway since I can really load up on veg. I don't get cheese on my subs since by the time I'm done asking for lettuce, tomato, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, spinach, jalepeno, (and I'm not shy about asking for more veggies when they are light handed with them) and their red salsa type sauce I wouldn't be…

Whole foods I like the bulk bins and a few other things here and there depending on what sounds good. They have a lot of tea. Puffed kamut cereal @ 50 calories a serving that I add to higher calorie sugary cereal for bulk. Different veggies and fruit that I don't see in other stores. I like to eat from their salad/hot bar…

Get what you like and eat half of it and take the rest home. Eat less rice and/or ask for more veggies. I swear the best broccoli I've ever had is at Chinese places. :) Even fast food Chinese usually has a "diet" section of non-fried items that can be lighter on calories. Be prepared for the possibility of temporary water…

I just ate my chocolate peanut butter quest bar as part of my breakfast. It's not gross. It has some flavor but could use more pb and chocolate. The texture is like a very dense, sticky brownie. I'd buy it. Sometime tomorrow I'll try the white chocolate raspberry. (Didn't think it would pair well with coffee lol) It used…

I just went through having my clothes get very loose without the scale showing a loss. It lasted a couple weeks then my weight dropped quickly for a couple days in a row. I knew I was logging and eating correctly so I waited it out.

I got my freebies in the mail today. I won't be able to fit one in today so maybe tomorrow. I got the raspberry one and the chocolate pb. Eta to correct autocorrect. ....I don't know what verizon/Samsung did with that last update but my autocorrect is hideous now lol.

And buttery from adding a pat of butter to the pan or top of the steak in the last minute or two of cooking. I only do that to a quality steak....splurge money and calories lol.

I love going to the Asian market to get things. They have big bags of different kinds of choi (I can never remember all the varieties) and other greens very cheap. I have some now that was $3 and it's enough for me and my dog for the week (I make 99% of his food). I also scored a good sized bag of thai chilies for about a…

Me and my kids love it on baked fish. I also add other spices as others have suggested here. Yum

My best day is usually a few days after a salty day lol. I never pick a set day to follow and not even once weekly. I know when the scale should show loss if there is going to be one. It's been more often this week because I had a nice whoosh happen over a couple days time and I was curious.

Um I wouldn't know how to respond to that :D I'd have to just walk away lol

My german shepherd thinks anyone on the floor is fair game lol. He will drop toys on you, try to pull you up, jump over you, lick your face and bark in it, etc. He carries my kettle bells around and sometimes he'll step his front feet back and forth if I'm doing some kind of march. It's hilarious. When he was smaller he…

I hate this too and it comes across as rude to me. I think some mean well and are curious. I feel like it discounts the hard work that goes into losing weight no matter how it's accomplished.

Every time I see one of her ww commercials it irritates me. All I can think about is that time she did a liquid diet and lost a lot and revealed it on a show. She gained it right back. Then she ran a lot and lost. Then gained it all back. Then this and then that and then and then... I don't think of her as someone…

If it's during the day I stick to mostly fruits. Later I occasionally have a quality dark chocolate or pudding cup or I'll mix pudding into plain yogurt. Occasionally I buy the lemon pudding snack packs and I have that with small lemon shortbread type cookies -200 calories and tastes like lemon meringue pie. I don't make…

I wish I could find it now, but sometime last year I found a list ranking leafy greens based on nutrition and kale was nowhere near the #1 choice. I prefer spinach and other greens over kale because taste. I can handle some baby kale mixed with other greens in a salad, but I'd much prefer better tasting greens with more…

Does it list ingredients and does that include dressing?

I've made pb cookies all my life with these 3 ingredients. I'm always surprised anyone puts flour or anything else in a pb cookie lol. No one we knew had celiac it was just the recipe to use. 1 cup pb. 1 cup sugar. 1 egg. Amazing cookies. I'm sure this mug cake is good and a little different texture because of the egg to…

Then definitely save some of your overall daily calories for the snacking. I still say hit your protein and fat macros especially in the evening meal. And do some walking laps around the dorm or if there is a well lit area where it's safe. *eta: walking earns you more calories to eat and can keep you busy a bit to distract…

Save a few hundred calories for evening snacks. Find something that keeps your mind occupied. Don't buy many of your binge trigger foods and if you can't stop thinking about them to the point you are ready to go buy on a whim, walk to the store. If you are close to the store, do a few laps walking before shopping. Eta :…

I always assume the calories and nutritional values are for the product as it is unless it states when cooked or something similar. Eta I do weigh out the serving size according to the gram weight per serving.

Special k and a lot of other sugary cereals don't keep me full at all so I end up eating another breakfast lol. That much sugar actually makes me crave more sugar. I don't avoid sugar I just do better with fruit as far as my control goes. I buy puffed kamut cereal at whole foods and add a serving of it to other cereal…

Cook it with some garlic rosemary and a touch oregano, salt to taste. Make up some tzatziki sauce with plain yogurt, seeded and diced cucumber, finely minced garlic clove or two if you really like garlic and a little salt. I also add a little dill to mine but that's optional. It's better to make the sauce several hours…

I eat them plain sometimes also mostly when they've baked until they start to caramelize a little.

I like to put it on after its cooked but either way works.

I baked one today then cut it open and mashed a laughing cow cheese wedge in it along with a sprinkling of old bay seasoning. It was good. I usually top it with some plain yogurt and hot sauce and whatever meat or egg I'm having that meal.

You could also get in an extra workout or brisk 30 minute walk that day before the party to get more calories to use as an extra precaution.

You could try skinnytaste.com but I don't know if she has calzones there. I'm not sure what your definition of healthy would be so it's really going to be up to the calories and nutrients in your ingredients. Personally I wouldn't mess with the dough too much or it could end up with some odd, crumbly fail textures. You…

Cereal is a nighttime snack for me when I eat it - which isn't often. I find that adding a couple eggs to just about anything I eat in the morning really does make a difference. I top all kinds of things with fried, poached or scrambled eggs. I'm even adding it to oatmeal now (cooking it with the oats) after seeing it…

I like to slice it thick and brush with a little olive oil and lightly salt then bake until tender. Top with some homemade marinara (store bought way too sweet :s) and either mozzarella or some feta then broil until cheese melts - only a minute or two. It's delicious.
