  • Guilt may not have been the best word choice but I totally get where he's coming from. If I go to the gym, I find it a LOT easier to say no to snacks/treats/birthday cake at the office. It's a ton easier to stick to my healthy foods and the foods that fit with my calorie budget. It's not guilt, but it's a sense of "dude,…
  • Ozeri Digital Scale is a really good one and less than 13 bucks. Here's a typical day for me when I was doing 1600 Breakfast - Whole wheat english muffin (110 cal), Large Egg (70), cheese (50), 1/4 avocado (50) served with half an apple (350 total) Lunch - Flatbread wrap (100), 2 tbsps peanut butter (190), 2 tbsps dried…
  • And 12 different posts of people offering actual suggestions, advice and support. Don't focus on the negative @jaxburt
  • I use the Good Grips Spiralizer based on the review from sweethome http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-spiralizer/ My absolute favorite thing is spiralized sweet potatoes. I make them a few times a week. Either as a pasta replacement with spaghetti sauce, or just sauteed and served as is.…
  • Greek yogurt is my everyday snack. 1 cup of chobani non fat plain, 100 grams of fruit (usually strawberries, mangos, or blueberries), 2 tbsps walnuts, and two quick squirts of the Crystal Light liquid. Crystal light is a game changer for greek yogurt. It turns plain non fat greek into a full flavored sugar filled delicious…
  • Definitely get a food scale and weigh. It looks like your using generic inputs for your foods. Like the sweet potato at 133 grams. Sweet potatoes can vary a lot in weight. Having a scale and weighing everything will probably be seriously eyeopening. It's pretty much the best investment you can make for weight loss.
  • I haven't done her videos on a while but I love her. She's so sincerely positive I can't help but give it my all. I need to pop her videos out again.
  • Crunch Fitness Pros - Cheap, for 20 a month I get classes and can always bring a guest (works for the bf who only occasionally wants to go) Plenty of classes with a relatively wide variety It opened in the last year, so all new machines, very clean. All the machines have headphone hookups to the multiple tvs Open 24 hours…
  • When you import, scan the calories for each ingredient. Occasionally you will find one that is insanely off like your 2450 calorie feta. When you see that, just click replace on that item and search it and use a feta cheese that has the correct nutrition. Like there's garlic powder in quite a few recipes I've imported, but…
  • I basically have two breakfasts that I switch between. I don't like having to think for breakfast so I try to keep it simple. It's either a homemade egg mcmuffin with an apple, or oatmeal with fruit and nuts. Egg Muffin - Whole wheat english muffin, 1 egg scrambled cooked in the easy eggwich thingy…
  • One of my favorite treats is spiralized Jicama cooked in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and paprika. Spiralized sweet potatoes cooked on the stove is my go to side dish.
  • It varies depending on what I'm planning on eating that night. If it's something that I know that they'll eat, I just make it for everyone, and if it's a bit too "diety" then I'll make them something else and make my meal. Sometimes I'll make the same main course, but do different sides for them. They also get much larger…
  • It happens. When I import recipes, there's as entry in the database for garlic powder that comes up as over 1000 calories. I was really confused trying to figure out why the calories for my recipes were so high until I caught that one.
