Things have probably changed, but I wasn't required to use birth control when I took Accutane (about 15 yrs ago). And I was married. Just promised (signed a thing) to be careful and had to take preg and liver test at each appt. because health history kinda made it so birth control pills weren't recommended. ANYHOW, I do…

Had this tonight w/ some mods: White Bean and Roasted Chicken Salad (didn't have chicken or basil, added a bunch of spinach, gave son option of adding goat cheese we had in refrig) along with a couple slices of wheat baguette. Great for a hot night. Gnocchi (I fry it with some onions, misc veg such as spinach or kale or…

Some things that filled me up lately w/ low calorie count: Thai chicken sate/satay with cucumber salad (I had 160g of chicken and 1C of cucumbers), and then some mixed greens as well for around 300 cal. Was stuffed. Stir-fry minus rice and w/ lots of veggies (watch the oil) and a bit of protein A tuna salad wrap (using…

Ditto TRX / Lifeline Jungle Gym type of setup or bodyweight. Mark Lauren is good, check YouTube for some that do vids: Zuzka Light, Tatiannamania, probably some BeFIT vids, etc
-
Regular O's, unsweetened shredded wheat (0 sugar and 5g protein), rice crispies, Heritage Flakes. I usually just do oatmeal w/ misc add-ins.
-
Look up crash hot sweet potatoes . I just use the mix of spices minus sugar and reduce butter/oil and then prepare as stated or just toss the seasoning mix w/ cubed sweet potatoes and roast. Even the kids will gobble them up.
-
smoked salmon/trout on bed of greens. Could do a "hash" thing with it as well. There is nothing that dictates fish or greens or anything else is for breakfast only :)

If it continues for a few weeks, try reducing dairy. For me, whey protein powder or too much cheese or greek yogurt makes me break out. Many others are fine w/ it, so YMMV
-
Nancy's makes a soy one. You could also look into making your own - http://www.culturesforhealth.com/learn/yogurt/how-to-make-non-dairy-yogurt/ or http://lifeoffthelabel.com/homemade-vegan-yogurt-no-equipment-required/ may be a place to start.

You *might* be able to just cut back. I also break out (especially cystic type) when I take in too much dairy or whey. Whey protein powders really do me in. I like the flavor of Silk yogurt and some coconut based ones, almond ones are trial and error as some are rather vile BUT don't recall protein content in any of those.…

Besides dev ped, try a registered dietician, esp. one with peds experience. They'll have loads of ideas. But yeah, nut butters, avocado (guacamole), whole grain breads, dried fruits, oats, trail mix, coconut milk

Ugh. I feel your pain. DD is sooooo picky and will starve rather than eat something she doesn't like. If I force it, she gags and almost throws up. She's a tween so we've been dealing w/ it for a while. She doesn't even like spaghetti or pizza sauces. So, for us we try and do the "1 bite" rule or stick with what we know…

I guess that kind of makes sense. Do know that for me, I'm pinching more than 1" (more like 6-7") - does that reference age me? :) The whole body type thing is confusing as, when healthy, I'm hourglass w/ long limbs and have never been muscular/athletic, even when lifting heavy. Weight gain primarily due to being so much…

Find a trainer to show you proper form on free weights. Things like squats, weighted lunges, kettlebell swings, pull ups, hip thrusts, deadlifts and rows will give you great bang for the buck. A couple sites w/ no-nonsense approach and some videos on form (but get in-person checks, if possible!) Girls Gone Strong and Nia…

I'm a fan of heavier weights and there are various programs by women over on bodybuilding sites. BUT, while you may get leaner and more toned, you may not lose weight. Go by measurements and look/feel - fat takes more room than tight, dense muscle tissue.
-
If you've a gym membership, hire a trainer to show you around the free weights. I wasted a lot of time on the machines. While a couple of them are ok, you can get more done faster w/ free weights. Think squats, dead lifts, pull-ups, weighted lunges and rows. Some good blogs/vids to lookup (IMHO) include Girls Gone Strong…

I second the advice to find a good RD (registered dietician) to work with you. A relative of mine is an RD and for a while worked at a Wegman's (I think...or another chain) as an RD giving classes, esp. to teens and liked working with teens w/ eating disorders. Chat them up and if you find one you like (or call around to…
-
tempeh, lentils (curries!), kefir, tofu, chia seeds, hemp hearts, quinoa, hummus, edamame, broccoli
-
Vega or Sunwarrior protein (whey protein makes me break out, so switched to vegan options) w/ almond milk or other plant based milk (or water) + fruit or veg. Also, have you checked out No Meat Athlete? Veg ultramarathoner, so guessing he has his nutrition figured out.
