Fruits (apple, banana, a couple clementines), pistachios, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, mini babybel, various yogurts, hard boiled eggs, and protein bars are my go-to's. And coffee with a little milk and sugar counts as a snack, right? :D

I've had a One since 2014 and I love it. I like the clip design so I can wear it discreetly in different spots (bra, belt, pocket). When I use it consistently, it's so helpful to keep me active, plus I just really like knowing all my activity data. It tracks steps, flight of stairs, distance, active minutes, and calories…

I met my first mini-goal of getting down to the 180's! B) I'm officially at my lowest ever adult weight, based on the measurements I've entered into MFP off and on since 2012. Now my next one is to make the transition from Obese to Overweight BMI rating - 5 pounds to go!

Hi! I'm queer, and I'd be happy to have more LGBTQ+ friends on here, so add me if you'd like :smile:

Things with high protein, fat, and/or fiber.

It's ironic how so many people complain about vegans being preachy, yet responses like this are so common. There are many reasons a person may choose to be vegan, including ethics and the environment. I don't think what dietary lifestyle someone follows is anyone's business but their own. That's a good protein goal, but…

Focusing on fitting in as many nutrient-dense foods as I can into my diet to fuel my body and keep it healthy, rather than focusing on what I "can't" or "shouldn't" eat.

Monday goals - 1550 calories - ate back half my exercise calories, so more than my goal but still within a nice deficit. - 5 fruits/veggies - yes! - 10,000 steps - yes! - Yoga - nope. Got to try again. Tuesday goals - 1550 calories - 10,000 steps - 5 fruits/veggies

Sunday goals - 1550 calories: check - 5 fruits/veggies: nope - 4/5 though - Do yoga for at least half an hour: nope - will try again today! Monday goals - 1550 calories - 5 fruits/veggies - 10,000 steps - Yoga

Lately I've been making veggie quesadillas that are just at 300 calories. I use one tortilla, shredded cheese, spinach and sliced cherry tomatoes, with scallions and seasoning, cooked in 1/2 Tbs olive oil. Also veggie pita sandwiches, with toasted pita bread, lots of tzatziki, arugula and tomatoes. For each of these you'd…

Queer gal here, add me if you'd like!

Thank you! I've struggled with the grocery store thing for months, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Saturday: met 3/3 goals! Sunday goals: - 1550 calories - 5 fruits/veggies - Do yoga for at least half an hour

Friday: met 4/4 goals! Saturday goals: - 10,000 steps - 1550 calories - Only buy nutrient-dense foods at the grocery store!

Thursday: Met 3/4 goals - I ate 1791 calories, but was still well within my net calories from exercise so I don't feel too bad. I ate all my fruits and veggies, and got in over 11,000 steps :) Friday's goals: - 10,000 steps - Walk home from work - Stay at or below my calorie goal of 1550 - 5 fruits/veggies again!

If you use a food scale and log accurately there's absolutely no need to go so far below your calories... it's dangerous to eat below 1200, and impossible to get the nutrients you need at such a low calorie level. Pretty much all fruits and veggies are high in fiber, and beans and lentils as well.

Respiration (when you exhale, there's some water you breathe out - this is why you can see your breath when it's freezing outside), transpiration (sweating) and pee. That's why if you weigh yourself before you go to bed and then after you wake up in the morning, the scale usually drops a pound or two.

Wednesday: I met 4/4 of my goals! Thursday's goals: - 10,000 steps - Walk home from work - Stay at or below my calorie goal of 1550 - 5 servings of fruits & veggies (planned: avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, strawberries and a banana)

This thread is so motivating! Wednesday goals: - 10,000 steps - Stay at or below my calorie goal of 1550 - Stick to eating what I have planned! - Buy only nutrient-dense food at the store today

I'm a college student too! Feel free to add :)
