Breakfast: oatmeal plus peanut butter. Coffee. Then more coffee. Lunch: vegetarian baked beans, green grapes, and a yogurt. Dinner: I've been planning on making a pasta dish with veggie sausage for over a week...and it looks like my plans will be thwarted yet again. <sigh> Probably chipotle or something similar.

Hugs to everyone struggling. I know how you feel. Thanks for the support @rianneonamission ! My trend weight went down a whole pound this week, which I was basically expecting. I'm enjoying maintenance, I love how much food I can eat! It makes me realize why I've never really been "overweight" (just crept up higher than…

Breakfast: coffee. Plus oatmeal with peanut butter. Lunch: leftover homemade pizza, a slice of coffee-cake, and a special k crisp thing Dinner: French toast, and a spinach salad. Snack: half of a Hershey gold peanuts and pretzels bar Not a winner day nutritionally, but I'm within my calories.

Check out "cheap lazy vegan" on YouTube. Love her videos. She is vegan and Korean. I wish I could give you ideas from watching, but I don't remember names of things.

Tonight it's homemade pizza! I make it about once a week...it's my husband's favorite

Yum! I'm having pizza, a cookies and cream shake, and a fancy Starbucks drink. But I'm not "cheating".

Hey everyone! I've had a very stressful couple of weeks, I feel I'm barely holding on. I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself for an upcoming deadline, Feb 11. I love this group though, it helps to just write down what I'm going through. Outside of school stress, I have also been annoyed at my weight. My trend…

Breakfast: oatmeal with peanut butter, coffee Lunch: rice with fake chicken and ketchup Dinner: A crescent roll ring filled with spinach, cheese, olives, roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, etc. My husband named this dish "Mediterranean Casse-Roll" lol

Breakfast: Coffee, a banana, and finished off a bag of honey bunches of oats with strawberries (no milk) Lunch: Chobani smooth black cherry, leftover pinto beans cooked with onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers over rice Dinner: out to eat at my favorite Italian place!! Snacks: resisting as much as possible, due to dinner out

My favorite was French toast sticks! And smile fries (fried potatoes in the shape of a smiley face). Least favorite thing was "country fried steak". Still no idea what that was - it was probably the only day every month I would bring lunch from home.

My goals broadly are to: 1. Prevent lower back injury (which has happened to me several times in the past 5 years doing normal non-exercise/lift related things) 2. "Recomp" - meaning change the appearance of my body to look leaner and stronger, without necessarily losing any more weight To meet those goals I'm doing a…

GW: 142.0-147.0 1/7: 144.0 1/13: 144.4 1/21: 144.1 1/27: 145.0 I saw this spike coming, as I went food crazy over the past week or two. Also very stressed about school, so trying to keep that under control. Things look more routine for me this week, so I'm going to take advantage and take better control of my food intake.…

I just bought these for my husband, and he loves them https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01NAJGGA2/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1516806362&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=bluetooth+headphones

Breakfast: Cookies and Cream protein powder blended with chocolate milk and coffee. Plus more coffee. Lunch: Leftover roasted purple potatoes, leftover fajita veggies, leftover deep fried pickles, an apple, and a slice of banana nut bread. Dinner: Maybe a veggie burger, with some frozen veggies on the side.

GW: 142.0-147.0 1/7: 144.0 1/13: 144.4 1/21: 144.1 I'm feeling good about maintenance so far. I expect my weight to spike a bit this week, from over eating a bit and impending TOM, but I feel prepared to not freak out and just keep on with it.

U.S. national parks are not known for their food options, so you're going to have to lower your expectations. For dinner, you can order kids menu items (expect to pay more), or you can ask for what you want, not off the menu. If you're polite they might be able to work with you. You can also ask for a dish without…

I think it looks good to me. You probably don't need to worry about salt, unless you have a medical reason. The most important thing is that you don't eat too many or too few calories. Fellow PhD student here, welcome! :)

It's true that you don't have to eat what you don't like. But I think it's admirable to try and eat more vegetables. Roasting is a good idea if you're not sure how to prepare. Some veggies that are liked by a lot of people: Sugar snap peas (raw) Frozen peas Roasted potatoes Corn on the cob with butter and salt Green beans

Breakfast: Old fashioned oats, with peanut butter. Coffee. Morning snack: smoked butterscotch drink from Starbucks Lunch: tofurky sandwich with cheese, apple, baby carrots. And a Luna bar which I regret. Dinner: TVP tacos, with fajita veggies. Night snack: I surprised my husband with a DQ ice cream cake yesterday, to…

OMG yum. Next time send it my way

Breakfast: Old fashioned oats with peanut butter. Coffee Mid-morning snack: a delicious pastry with scrambled eggs and cheese somehow inside?! Lunch: Leftovers of sauteed veggie sausage with pinto beans and tomatoes. Plus baby carrots and vanilla Greek yogurt. Dinner: Homemade pizza!

After preparing the mashed cauliflower in any of the ways posted here, you could transfer to a casserole dish, top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, etc. Bake until cheese is melted. I used to do this often

Breakfast: Starbucks croissant and chocolate chip cookie :open_mouth: Lunch: sandwich with Tofurky slices, cheese, and mayo. Baby carrots, and peach/chia snack cup. Dinner: fake chicken stir-fried with broccoli and green beans, edamame. If I have room I'll have chocolate milk as a snack tonight, not sure though after that…

Two sunny side up eggs and two pieces of buttered toast, and a cookies and cream protein shake with milk.

I got this one last summer: https://www.amazon.com/Ello-Syndicate-BPA-Free-Glass-Bottle/dp/B00BUTN4ZI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1515968161&sr=8-4&keywords=water+bottle+ello I was sick of plastic ones that seemed to get really gross and never felt clean after a while. It says it's dishwasher safe, though I've never put it in…

I've had the "Banza" brand. It has a different taste and texture, but I like it. Definitely worth trying.

GW: 142.0-147.0 1/7: 144.0 1/13: 144.4 This week I did decide to track my food intake. I ate at a slight deficit a few days and then quickly made up for it with a 900 calorie blizzard from Dairy Queen (Worth it!) and dinner out with the husband at a new Ramen place in town (also definitely worth it!). All in all I think I…

I shop at most once per week, at a regular grocery store. I don't buy organic, unless it happens to be cheaper that week. I store everything in the fridge except bananas and potatoes. I make sure to buy only around 3-4 days worth of highly perishable items, like berries, grapes, bananas, most fresh veggies. I buy some…

Breakfast: Kashi Protein Cereal with Milk, coffee Lunch: Sandwich with Tofurky slices and cheese, vanilla greek yogurt, baby carrots Dinner: Ramen out to eat at a new place in town! And veggie potstickers YUM

Breakfast: Cookies and cream protein powder blended with chocolate milk and coffee. Plus more coffee and a banana Lunch/snacks: Lean cuisine mac and cheese, vanilla Greek yogurt, an ounce of roasted peanuts, and a weird peaches with chia fruit cup Dinner: I'm thinking pasta with red sauce, green beans, maybe more veggies…
