I'm skipping breakfast today so I can have a bigger dinner tonight :) I do Intermittent Fasting occasionally (not daily) so I'm usually okay skipping meals occasionally. I'll just have lunch a touch bit earlier than usual if I get too hungry.

You can eat them, but both have a higher carb count, so you'll want to watch your portion sizes. I personally don't eat them because I find that there are plenty other healthy foods with a lower carb count. If you really can't live without your apples, try Granny Smith, they have a lower sugar count and thus less of a carb…

What kind of dressing are you using on your salad? Vitamin K is a fat soluable vitamin, so unless you are eating a fair amount of fat as well, you are likely not absorbing anywhere near that percentage. If you are a post-menopausal woman, I would make sure that you are sufficient in Vitamin D, as there is a synergistic…

No, it is unfortunately not set up for that, you just need to do the math yourself.

I follow a Keto Diet and this is terrible advice. 3lbs per week is not doable and is stupidly aggressive when you only have between 6-7lbs to lose. Yes, some people do that when first starting Keto, but often times, they are significantly overweight to begin with and this is clearly not the case for OP. Also, 1100 calories…

I actually base my business on this exactly, "Eat, Sleep, Play". As a Nutitional Therapist, my focus is of course on Nutrition and appropriate supplementation, but sleep and moving your body are just as important. I personally believe that overall health is best when addressed through a holistic approach, meaning that you…

I would be careful making general statement like this as the idea that dietary cholesterol has an affect on overall blood cholesterol and in turn things like Heart Disease, has long been debunked. With the general exception of those with hereditary cholesterol problems, dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on blood…

Which is why I wrote "helps to create" and for "many people" a calorie deficit. Not all, not everyone, not even the majority. And I most certainly never said that Keto "causes one to lose weight". I'm well versed on what Keto is and what it does.

Just weigh them, they can't account for the size of the peanuts.

Ditto. I'm Keto and have mine set at 10% carbs, 60% fats, and 30% protein. The actual number of grams of each changes depending on my calorie goals for the day. My base goal is 1200, but I usually get another 400 through activity.

Keto in and of itself helps to create a calorie deficit for many people because fat is satiating, thus making the person feel fuller between meals, skipping snacks, and sometimes even skipping meals. I'm up at 5am and don't eat until after 11am most days because I'm just not hungry. As for exercise, don't be silly. Yes,…

It's actually super easy. I do 3 parts salsa, 1 part sour cream, and lime juice to taste. That's it. I use full fat sour cream, but I think reduced fat would work fine as well.

I'm taking the other poster to mean "grocery store" chicken when she says chicken "today", you know, like Perdue. The local farms that are producing the organic, free-range, non-grain fed chickens, are not producing the quantities to be sold in mass markets and thus aren't available to a large part of the population.

Chicken today are bred to grow fast and to grow way bigger than they use to. Whether you believe this or not, these genetic changes do affect the overall flavor of the meat. If you want to see for yourself, I highly recommend buying an Organic, Free-Range Chicken that is fed a natural diet and not one of corn, and you will…

It seems like you got your answer. My recommendation would just be to not add your exercise if it it confuses your calorie goals for you. Or, just ignore the extra calories that it gives you. Some days I eat my exercise calories, some days I eat half, it's up to you how you want to handle them.

I follow a Keto Diet. The jar is a creamy salsa dressing.

I stand corrected :) https://www.verywellfit.com/walking-calories-burned-by-miles-3887154

I disagree with this. The average person actually burns between 100-120 calories per mile, so if she is in fact walking 3.5 miles, that would be 350-420. Still lower than what the OP is saying, but I think that your calculation is way low. I'd be UPSET if I walked 3.5 miles and only burned 130 calories LOL That said, I'm…

I do not watch my Sodium intake at all.

Coffee with heavy cream. 2 egg omelet with spinach, mushrooms, feta, side of bacon.

I spent an ungodly amount of time last night trying to figure out how to link different apps. I use MFP, FitBit, and Zero most regularly. I thought I had it figured out, but sadly, when I logged in to them this morning, it is not working right. Ugh!!!!! Anyway, excited for May. I'm going to give up artifical sweeteners for…

Weight loss isn't linear. Weight loss isn't linear. Weight loss isn't linear. Weight loss isn't linear.

He's done it twice in the past but is not currently. Both times it took him a week to start producing Ketones and he suffered horribly with Keto Flu even though I was practically spoon feeding him electrolytes. He already has a terrible metabolism so Keto was really hard for him. BUT when he's in it, he drops weight like…

I just looked at the recipe and these are low carb/iifym but they are not Keto. Keto is no grains no sugar. Maybe check out Cloud Bread for a true Keto bun. https://www.spendwithpennies.com/cloud-bread/ Or my favorite is 90 Second Bread. I make mine with a mix of Coconut and Almond Flour and like to play around with…

My goal is 25g Total carbs per day, but I can do 50+g (I’m not sure what the actual “+” equals) and can still maintain Ketosis. I also can get back rather quickly if I accidentally kick myself out. My H however needs to stay under 20g Net to maintain and has a really hard time getting in Ketosis if he gets knocked out.

I have probably lost and gained 1,000 pounds if not more over my lifetime. The biggest swings have come in the last few years. 8 years ago I lost 106lbs going from 236 to 130. I then gained 143lbs taking me up to 273lbs. Lost 74lbs down to 199, and most recently gained 47lbs getting back up to 246. I'm currently in the…

Gammie isn't the only one who took it that way. Honestly, now it just looks like you are backpedaling.

I don't think that is correct. https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400525/data/beef/retail_beef_cuts02.pdf

Cooked measurements are highly inaccurate. Depending on how "done" you cook your meat, the amount of water in the final product can vary greatly. For example, when I cook steak my husband likes his well done and I prefer mine rare. If I start out with two steaks of equal weight, his will be significantly smaller once fully…

Keto is not a low calorie diet by design, but if you google "keto recipes" you will get thousands upon thousands of recipes. I personally don't follow a whole lot of recipes. I focus on protein and enough fat to keep me satiated and fill the rest in with veggies. Feel free to look at my Diary for ideas.
