It depends on what your food philosophies are. Some people refuse to eat foods that have, what they consider, unnatural ingredients. These could include some sugar free sweeteners, processed foods, gmo's ect. Here are some substitutions or options I go with that have helped me. You may also want to look into a book series,…

Yup - Log everything, from the leanness of the beef to any and all things you put on there. It does take a lot of time but its a must.

Fried Chicken, Biscuits and Gravy, Tempura, Western Cinnamon Rolls, Foie Gras, French Fries, Tater Tots, Hash Browns, Philly Cheese Steak...

Make them at home, then they both can be part of a balanced diet.

Not going to lie - I go for their dark chocolate, anything 70% cacao. Best prices and some of the better massed produced supermarket chocolate you can find.

Soylent. Complete nutrition, $1.90 per 500 calorie meal. Unfortunately, it's only available at Soylent.com

Your joking right? 66 Grams of Breyers vanilla ice cream (1/2 cup) has 140 calories, 60 calories from fat, 7grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 45mg of cholesterol, 40mg of sodium, 14g of of carbohydrates - 14g sugar, 3 grams of protein. The consistency of a blended frozen banana is nearly creamy, much closer than…

When I wanted ice cream arctic zero was a complete disappointment. However I do like banana and someone let me in on a little secret. If you peel a very ripe banana put it in the freezer. Once frozen, blend it up really good it turns nearly creamery almost like an ice cream put a little PB2 on top, it's amazing!

It's not 37 calories, I have made them as well. What I think the issue is, is the use of "Truvia Bakers Blend" which is half Stevia half Sugar. The recipe says you can use any natural sweetener that pours like sugar. However, at 190 calories for a half cup - bakers blend can be a substantial amount of sugar for some of us.…

Soylent is Vegan, animal free, lactose-free, and nut-free. The latest powdered version, powder 1.6, has 45 percent lipids, 20 percent protein, and 35 percent low-glycemic carbohydrates. At 1.93 per 500 calories, it's very cost effectives. https://www.soylent.com/product/powder/

I would recommend something with complete nutrition and counting calories to ensure that calories out exceed calories in. I lost 60 lbs by counting calories with the help of Soylent. https://www.soylent.com/product/powder/ Soylent is not designed as a way to lose weight, it was designed as an easy way to get complete…

Remember, every body is different. What "works" for one person may not work for another. Generally ,calories in vs calories out holds true meaning, calories are energy, our bodies store excess energy. Usually, weight loss occurs when we use more energy than we take in. To loose weight, again generally, you will need to…

I eat Soylent for breakfast and lunch, complete nutrition, and zero prep with 2.0 bottles or minimal prep with 1.6 powder. Some people need more flavor variety, but I simply want nutrition for breakfast and lunch. I cook a fantastic homemade dinner for flavor, excitement, and social activity.

I see people sabotaging their diets by using so called "fat burners," there some people that feel that they can eat a tub of ice cream after taking fat burners/fighters. These things are ineffective at best.

37 CALORIE BROWNIES… AND NO, I’M NOT KIDDING. Mine always come out close to 56 calories, but for what you are getting its a pretty low calorie dessert!

I too am getting sugar cravings lately, is it the season change? Anyway, I used to be ok with eating one square of dark chocolate but now I find I eat an entire bar :neutral: I have the calories available but I used to eat a regular food snack - now its consumed with some kind of sweets, usually ice cream. I did find the…

I eat Soylent 1.6 powder for Breakfast and Lunch, if I do get hungry at breaks I will munch on an Apple or Banana.

Soylent makes it easy to get complete nutrition while on the road. I was just on a business trip and took a weeks worth of 1.6 powder along with me and pocketed my per diem. :smile:

Homemade dough, homemade sauce about 250 Cals per slice.

They are in more stores now, they are ok I guess. Can't beat the price for the amount of protein. I prefer Soylent Food Bar or Joylent Twenny bar over these. These type of protein bars, especially Kirkland almost have a waxy texture to them. They do keep you full though, which is the point.

Quinoa, steamed veges, baked lemon chicken breast. -792 Cals. l

Don't feel bummed, you know you have a medical issue and you have come to this site to help support in dealing with it - this is a huge first step and I congratulate you in having the courage to do so. Do a web search for diabetic menu, go to barnes and noble and pick up a diabetic recipe book. What you don't do is ignore…

I love sugar too, my cravings have gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. I think its because winter is coming but I cant be 100% sure on that. I have resorted to leaving myself with a couple of hundred extra calories at the end of the day so I can have a bigger dessert portion without going over my calories.

Some people can waive their break as long as they sign a form, depending on the state they are in. Some people don't feel like they can take a lunch because the workload that accumulates over a lunch break pretty much makes the rest of the day a game of catch up, where as if you worked over lunch its easier to maintain the…

Soylent is my go to breakfast, zero cook, zero prep.

If your simply looking for nutrition, calorie control, and staitiey there are options like Soylent, Super Body Fuel, and Joylent.

I feel your pain! I eat Soylent for breakfast and lunch, think liquid meal replacement. I eat whatever I want for dinner as long as I maintain my calorie limit. If I am invited for a social breakfast or lunch I bring along my Soylent in a insulated bottle and eat that, while socializing. I explain I made a lifestyle…

I say roll your own! Get a Pizza Stone, make your own dough and sauce, control the toppings - this whole pizza is only 1,400 calories for the entire pie.
