Anything in the crockpot. And also meal prep. I make something on Sunday and have it Sunday night and for lunch and dinner Monday-Thursday. I do shredded chicken with salsa, meatballs (binded with egg and almond flour). Look up low carb cheeseburger casserole on Pinterest! There's lots out there! I also have been eating a…

My limit is 5 days or sooner if it starts to smell funky! I like to freeze my stuff. For instance, I made meatballs with over 2 pounds of meat and I froze them in individual bags of 2! I microwave them for 2 minutes and they are great! I also freeze cooked chicken and green beans in individual bags too! So easy!

I like idealshakes! They aren't an MLM and they are affordable and taste great with almond milk. I have one for breakfast and one as a snack sometimes. It does get boring, but it works for me. I liked all the flavors except mocha, orange dreamsicle, and strawberry! Haven't tried key lime! All the rest are fantastic!

I would echo this as well! I've been on and off keto and I hated the weight jump when I would go off keto. I still do relatively low carb but mainly so I can eat a bigger portion of something else (ex; I eat shredded chicken taco meat with veggies and cheese and can eat more chicken cause I don't have to account calories…

I used to do keto, but it wasn't sustainable for me! Now I'm just low carb. One of my favorite recipes was this: http://www.mastercook.com/app/recipe/WebRecipeDetails?recipeId=5079605 Except I used 1/2 cup shredded cheese instead of 1/3 and I mixed it all together and cooked it and didn't do anything different with the…

Hi there! Student on a budget as well here! I do a lot of mealprep! It makes it a lot easier to have foods made ahead of time and also to save money so I don't eat out as much! My go to is crockpot salsa chicken (chicken breasts with salsa in the crock pot. Shred it) and I will bulk it up with fajita veggies and a little…

I love making "Greek" salads with lots of lettuce, artichokes, kalamata olives, and feta cheese (you could forego the feta). I make my own Italian/Greek dressing and add more vinegar and less oil so it comes out to about 100 calories for 2 tablespoons! Super yummy! I also do shredded chicken with fajita veggies! No…

I haven't had sardines in SO long! I definitely will have to try this!l I have never actually cooked with them before (my gramma would put them on French bread for us straight from the can and it was amazing!)

I also have no clue what my lean body muscle mass is or whatever. I know there's a way to figure that out with like, a body pod or paying someone to do that. I wish I knew how to estimate that better.

Hi! I love tossing cauliflower in Buffalo sauce and baking. Dip in ranch and it satisfies my craving for Buffalo wings! I love cheeseburger salad! I also make a cheeseburger casserole that is lower cal and helps with the bun problem! Feel free to add me! I post swaps when I can that are lower calorie.

I like making my own Italian/Greek dressing (I use a little more vinegar and water to cut down on the oil) and I'll add feta crumbles, kalamata olives, artichokes, and chicken if I have it! Super good!

I did a period where all I had was green tea which I think has very little caffeine. I slipped back into having coffee and diet sodas when I went back to grad school. I have met a few people who don't do any caffeine. I don't know how they do it, but whatever works I guess!

It definitely tastes a little sweeter to me! I have only tried it on a few things so I'm curious how it will feel if I use it on other things. Definitely worth a shot to try!

Me! My breakfasts as well as my lunch and dinner during the school week. No meal prepping equals disaster for me. I end up eating just a bag of beef jerky or eating nothing all day and then going to Moe's and eating a whole burrito bowl and chips! This week I'm having cheeseburger casserole for lunch and dinner and…

http://www.mastercook.com/app/recipe/WebRecipeDetails?recipeId=5079605 I make these (I use 1/2 cup of cheese instead of 1/3 cup) and double the entire recipe. I mix it all up at once and divide into 24 regular sized muffins (2 muffin tins). Once they are cooked and cooled, I freeze them all in a giant freezer bag and then…

I know this sounds crazy... but my sister took me to a breakfast place and they had mashed avocado on toast and then honey drizzled over it and with sliced strawberries. I was skeptical about this flavor combo, but it was amazing! Normally I can just eat an avocado plain. I also like it chopped up in cottage cheese with…

Great dedication and good luck with this! :) My only suggestion would be to not rely too heavily on the calorie burn figures for working out, especially if you plan to eat back some of the exercise calories. It can definitely be overinflated! I have a similar end goal! I started at 225 and I'm now at 190 with a goal of…

Thank you so much! I'm going to try this with my recipe! I'm more worried about the cauliflower rice giving off more liquid! I will try this though! I'm sure it will still be tasty! :)

I haven't ever seen the Diet Coke slushie at 7/11. Google told me that they don't have it anymore. I'm going to check it out when I go back home for spring break since there are no 7/11s around here!

I envy the people who can get up to work out! I have successfully woken up to hit the gym before school maybe a handful of times. Most of those times were when I was meeting a friend. I always tell myself I will wake up early to go workout, but end up sleeping more. It was just something I learned about myself. I'm happy…

This looks fantastic! I'm not on keto anymore, but still keeping an eye on my carbs. I will definitely be trying this! Thanks for sharing! :)

I reiterate what everyone above says with Pinterest and looking at blogs! I tend to make "taco" bowls a lot with shredded taco meat and then lots of homemade fajita veggies or something else to make it seem like it's a lot bigger for a meal. I just made cheeseburger casserole this week and it is clocking in at 295 calories…

Yum! Thank you everyone for these suggestions! I definitely plan on checking out sonic and seeing what they can do for me! These are all awesome ideas to help get my slushie fix!

I learned that I have more self control than I think I do, but that if I don't treat myself occasionally, I will binge for several days and it's not pretty. Honestly I just need to maintain a healthy balance and I have been so much happier. I also learned that I LOVE to cook. Seriously a new passion for me. So far nothing…

I'm not classy enough with cooking to know how to marinate things yet (I'll learn someday) but I believe the consensus I have seen on here is to weigh the marinade before and after! Makes sense to me!

I try to put it off and think about it, or as other people mentioned, plan it in. I'm not sure how many calories are in a Cinnabon, but I'm planning on having a giant donut on Thursday since I have to bring donuts in for a snack at school (cause that's a thing even when you're a grad student) and I'm shaving a few extra…

Idealshape idealshakes! I used them, but did get bored of them.

Also for breakfast, I make these muffins. If you google/Pinterest "full moon sausage muffins" they should come up, otherwise I can dig up the recipe for you. Just feeling lazy right now. They are muffins made with almond flour, golden flax meal, and have cheese, cream cheese, and sausage in them. I make a batch of 24 and…

I make taco/fajita bowls. Usually start with shredded chicken (I make salsa chicken) and then I "steam" some onions and peppers in chicken broth. I serve the peppers/onions on top of the chicken and then sprinkle a serving of cheese. The more veggies, the more filling. Great, simple, and definitely lower than 500 calories…

This sounds good! Did you shred the chicken then?
