Well, I didn’t imagine Boneless would have been so bad... but then again, deep fried. :s I can eat four rotisserie chicken drumsticks with skin from Costco for 600 calories.

I’m going to guess, absolutely no adverse effects. I am willing to guess vitamins and nutrition will have degraded below the advertised amounts on the nutrition label.

I would drink a tall bottle, I think 24oz of Crispin Cider, 300calories - sometimes I would drink 2...600 calories. :# My Thursday night reduced price Boneless Chicken at Buffalo Wild Wings, I would go during happy hour. I calculated the calories - 3105 calories, 3105 calories! Three snack size wing - different flavors,…

I had a Fitbit, a Charge and Charge 2. I do Like the Apple Watch a little better myself. FitBit does have a “better” battery life, several days without charging makes for a good sleep tracker. I just hate the charging connector on those things. My first one wouldn’t make contact with the charger, the port got worn out…

I know how you feel. I had stopped drinking for a year, lost 50lbs, would run several miles everyday. All I have are excuses for why I started drinking again, eating copious amounts of food, and stopped exercising. I’ve returned to MFP to hold myself accountable once again. I’m on a 15 day streak, and I haven’t had a sip…

Doing the shake thing: Kale, Oats, Banana, Strawberry, Chia, PBFit, Avocado, Greek Yogurt Almond Milk.

Calories are king. As long as you are expending more calories than taking in, you will lose weight. Unless you suffer from high blood pressure, or have been told by your doctor to reduce your sodium, you should be fine. Consult your doctor regarding your sodium levels. Some people consume more sodium than the daily…

What is your Sodium intake at? For a time I decreased my sodium intake dramatically thinking I was being healthy, then I got major headaches until I increased my sodium intake. (Just a thought)

I am a fan of the Kirkland Brand protein bar as well! There are plenty of options depending on how much protein v calories you want.

A friend once told me, toss all the cloths that are too big and buy cloths that fit. This way, if you start to gain again you will notice right away AND the motivation to continue fitting into those cloths will be ever present. My weight loss has cost me several thousands of dollars in cloths! Who would have guessed...…

Soylent.com Soylent powder which you can mix with a shaker is $1.54 per 400 calories. Soylent drink comes prepared in 400 calorie bottles, it's $2.69 per 400 calories. Complete nutrition.

Feel free to add me.

Breaking habits is the suck, I'm not sure what can be said except that I support your efforts. The act of trying to find way to better yourself is a step in the right direction and I applaud you for it. Keep going, I wish you the best of luck.

Jalapeños. I put massive amounts of jalapeño slices on everything! That and Mrs. Dash.

I agree with what others have stated, you don't have to eat a breakfast. However, some people's mental and physical performance may be impacted without some calories in the morning. Some people are able to condition themselves to not require calories in the morning and continue fasting until lunch or even dinner. Other…

Why would the op need to eat this forever? I mean they could albeit it might not be ideal. If it keeps the op satiated, they receive all the micro and macro nutrients, and gets a clean bill of health from their doctor, why hate? If it's doable for the op, even if it's not doable for you - it's not a bad plan. A bad plan…

Yes.

On the low end you can get a ProFom for $800 at Costco right now, it will be good enough for most people starting out. Plus if it ever dies on you, or you simply don't like it, Costco has an amazing return policy.…

If you need something quick, easy, and portable for breakfast try a meal alternative/replacement. I eat Soylent for breakfast and lunch. Soylent is vegan and provides 20% of daily nutrition. It comes in powder or prepared form.

I lost my first 30 pounds sedentary and eating a meal alternative called Soylent. Like you I didn't want to think about what my next meal was going to be - Soylent made it easy to get complete nutrition and count calories. As long as you have more calories going out than in you will loose some weight. Congrats on making…

I am up in the mornings at 4:30am, and I get home by 4:00pm. My wife doesn't get home until 6:30 pm. If I want to spend time with my wife and share a meal, I have to wait 2.5 hours AND while I'm in school concentrate on my assignments. For that long wait I make a salad that consists of 100g of spinach, 120g of tomato, 80g…

Usually the awkwardness is in your own mind. Once you have told your family or friends what you are doing, it doesn't matter so much. When I don't want to spend my calories on a meal, let's say at IHOP but a friend invites me - I will come along and eat Soylent, a meal alternative. People who don't approve will choose to…

My suggestion is to plan out your meals, then create a shopping list based on what meals you planned out for the week. Saves a lot of time, energy, and money. It also allows you to plan around what foods you already have.

I retract my cake post and would like to replace it with this: Do not eat this:

My preference would be a larger portion of steak, I would be happy to pass along the dessert and beer to someone else but that might make be an enabler!

I wouldn't know, pulled that off a list of high calorie desserts and a google image search. o:) I would go for a steak over a piece of chocolate cake any day!

I am super lucky in that I prefer Sashimi instead of the Americanized rolls. Even Nigiri comes with too much sushi(rice) than I would like. The thing about "Sushi" is it's hard to find the fish and cut it right. Even most sushi restaurants aren't sold the slices of fish a distributor claims it to be. TLDR: I leave sushi to…

Imma say it, don't eat the chocolate tower truffle cake, at 1,600 calories - not worth it. o:)

I consume whole husk and count the calories. I had a friend tell me I don't need to count it because its insoluble fiber and doesn't digest. Good info and good thread.

Skepticism and criticism is a must when it comes to health science. There are calculated dishonesties by those who sell remedies deliberately faked by unscrupulous scientists. I whole heartedly disagree with you. We do need continued studies to understand our biology. To be so naive to believe otherwise is, quite frankly-…
