It may seem like the lower calorie diet is helping you achieve your goals, but in the end, it will backfire. You are not eating an adequate amount of protein when you aren't hitting a calorie count. Not enough protein = not enough lean muscle building, which aids you toward a goal weight you can actually sustain.…

Personally, I'll have a smaller, low-carb/high-protein dinner around 250 cal so that I can have a snack later on. Some examples are protein pudding, cottage cheese with fruit, or greek yogurt with honey. The casein in these foods will help fill you up, and your body will digest the proteins slowly, ensuring you're not…

Taco bowls with black beans, bell pepper/corn/lettuce, whatever you like.

Could be that you're retaining water due to not being hydrated enough. But I doubt that much muscle has accumulated. Drink more and see where you're at in a week.

I have this problem with my husband sometimes. What you should keep in mind is that eating less does not mean you'll lose more weight. It's what you eat that matters, and where those calories go. I try to make protein dense, vegetable heavy meals that also include a starch so that we both stay full and I don't gain weight.…

Protein powder and some kind of nut butter should really boost those bars for you. You have more options with recipes for baking, though, and some get really creative!

I find this to be a confusing question because an overweight model does not promote being overweight. She's helping to sell clothes and an image. She's helping to perhaps make women of her size feel more confident. And if they're more confident, maybe they'll be able to make healthier choices toward a longer life. And…

You might like this article on drinking water: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/clark2.htm (note that nothing can replace pure water--not even tea) "Water helps remove toxins from the body, in particular from the digestive tract. Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have…

Raw salad can be really boring. I find I eat way more leafy greens if I cook them. Sautéing power greens allows you to eat more of them, as 3 cups easily becomes 1 cup once cooked. Plus, they're DELICIOUS cooked. Throw in minced garlic, bell peppers, squash, whatever. I even cook some uncured bacon and throw it in. :#…
