  • Yes, they are in the regrigerated section. At some chain stores they are near health foods/vegetarian/vegan options or near produce. The ones made with almond butter tend to be pretty dry, but I love them all! Sometimes I break one bar in half and crumble it over plain greek yogurt, or they are the perfect snack for an…
  • I don't count the calories in wine at all when I cook, unless I finish a dish with a splash of wine after it has already cooked.
  • If you like to order food at Starbucks, the Sous Vide Egg Bites are too die for! By far the best quick-grab breakfast I've ever had. These are my new go-to when I have to travel for work and can't make my own breakfast. As far as coffee goes, you could try ordering a drink "half-sweet" and slowly phase out the sweetener…
  • I love Perfect bars! Where do you live? They are everywhere in Seattle :) I buy them at Costco, Whole Foods, Fred Meyers, and local markets. Cranberry Crunch is my favorite!

  • Whenever anyone asks me what I do for the second time I make up an outlandish story and then when they ask "really?", I respond with "No, I still stay within a set calorie goal and exercise regularly." I can't wait to use the pine cones/cat urine one :D
  • I take a tablespoon of straight ACV if I get the hiccups --the shock of the the sour taste works every time. I also use it regularly in dressings and marinades, but I don't expect any magic weight loss.
  • I can only see my daily macro percentages in the app.
  • My favorite recipe to sneak veggies into is Cookin Canuck's Greek Turkey, Rice & Feta Casserole. I follow the recipe but add whatever veggies I have on hand in with the onions and saute for a few minutes. Some of my favorite additions are squash, zucchini, mushrooms, cauliflower, spinach, and bell peppers. Just be sure to…
  • Sorry, not accurate. Nutrition facts are allowed a 10% margin of error. Your Chobani could be 154 calories and still be within the guidelines. On top of this, many nutrition labels are outside of the guidelines and some have been found to be off my more than 70% (Wonder Bread in an AU study).
  • Why would you ever suggest somebody only eat prepackaged foods? Frozen burgers on a bun? Barf. I will continue cooking my meals from scratch, measure/weigh as closely as possible, and risk the calories in my homemade soup being less accurate than your can. Thanks.
  • I try to stay as close to a 40:30:30 Carb/Fat/Protein ratio as possible at around 1200-1400 calories. I normally plan out all of my meals for the day and then make small modifications to get closer to this goal. It's a lot easier for me to plan ahead then to be stuck at the end of the day needing an extra 40g of carbs.…
  • 1/4 cup steel cut oats made with 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 banana, 1/4 cup plain-applesauce, and some fresh ground cinnamon. Sometimes I add sliced almonds or 1/4 cup blueberries. Yum!
