If you are okay with sugar alcohols (which I think are in the Costco ones) then you'll likely be okay. They also pack quite a bit of fiber, so if fiber is an irritant for you, then they might cause some issues. I eat a lot of protein bars, and occasionally they will give me some stomach gurgles but nothing exceptionally…

1 a week? Jeez, I drink 4 energy drinks in a day. Unless your iced coffee is a squirt of coffee and 2 cups of heavy cream, I don't see there being a concern with calories.

There is an actual Snickers protein bar. And I agree with Grenade. The bars are soft with complimenting textures inside but don't have that chewiness that Quest and OhYeah One have. Think Thin also makes some good bars. If you're looking for something that is like a candy bar, I don't think you'll like Quest or OhYeah.

It makes no difference to your weight loss. Personally, I don't usually eat it at night because I don't have great digestion and it can lead to acid reflux for me.

Vegan keto is essentially non starchy vegetables, fat sources (nuts, avocado, vegan butter, vegan mayo, oil), plant based protein (tofu, seitan, tempeh) and limited amounts of starches that contain protein (beans, quinoa, oats). Consider finding a solid plant based protein powder to supplement on days when you are low on…

If your goals are important to you, you'll find a way to eat more. It's a choice- either eat or don't. If you are having serious stomach problems or irregular digestion, consider checking in with your doctor. Also, take a probiotic and a digestive enzyme. If you're getting stomach gurgles/bloating, take GasX. For food-…

You want to make sure you are meeting protein and fat. protein- muscle growth/repair fat- hormone regulation Carbs are used for energy. If you are fine energy wise, then there is no need to hit a certain number of carbs. If you find yourself becoming sluggish, fatigued, unusually tired, then look at your carb intake and…

Give it to people you know well (close neighbor, family, friends, co-workers) or toss it. Are there any neighbors who might have kids or grandkids around who would want some? Only ask if you know them well though. I find it strange to give someone a partially eaten cake if you aren't close with them. Another option- wrap…

Welcome! There is definitely a lot to learn but it's easier than diet culture makes it seem. Unless you have a medical need to eliminate certain foods or macros, you can eat anything. There is nothing special about a low sugar, keto, low-fat, paleo, gluten free blah blah blah diet. Eat less calories than you burn and…

Congrats on your weight loss! You're losing quite quickly.... Current height and weight? Also, are you eating back your exercise calories? Or, are you only eating 1200 calories total?

I had to wrestle this one from my boyfriend's hand to take a picture. The boys all said they were good! Found at Target.

Sleeping. It's actually really hard for me to get through a day without an hour or 2 nap in between. Exercise. An hour workout, 15 minutes of stretching and 15 minutes in the hot tub is a great way to pass the time. Bigger bonus, it tires me out which makes that nap amazing. Be social. I'll go get coffee with a friend,…

I wonder if it would be better if you added your own jelly to it. Isn't this one of the lower calorie ones anyways? Add in some regular or sugar free jelly!

What's different about a regular bagel and a toasted bagel, besides being toasted? Makes no difference in the calories. If you have added butter or oil enter that separately.

Yes! The power of peanut butter! 2 slices of bread (240 calories) toasted with 1 tbsp butter (100 calories) 2 tbsp peanut butter (200 calories) 2 tbsp jelly (100 calories) sandwich - 640 calories 2 scoops protein powder(240 calories) in 1 cup of milk (150 calories) - 390 calories total for sandwich and drink - 1030 calories

When I joined my health club, I was given a few trial sessions. They matched me with someone who they felt would be a good fit based on what I liked to do and what goals I had set. Luckily, all the trainers at my club are excellent but this one was a perfect match. I pay $110 per hour. My strength increased from a 135 lb…

Honestly, you have to try to see what works. MFP is a guideline and it should be used as such. Just because it offers something, doesn't mean it's 100% correct for your body. If 1500 sometimes feels too low, then give yourself a range instead of a set number. Everyday, eat somewhere between 1500 and 1700 calories. At the…

I did one unintentionally. It was called a hangover. I felt like crap and only left my bed to pee.

It's sweetened water with added vitamins, like Gatorade or Powerade or VitaminWater. If you are concerned about sugar for medical reasons, then take into account that you just consumed 18g of sugar and make it work into your day. For perspective, 1 pop tart has 17g sugar, 1 medium banana has 14g sugar, 1 cup low fat milk…

Put a couple scoops of a whey isolate into a Ziplock. I recommend Isopure. It's lower in carbs than a regular whey.

It's not a big deal. Are you hungry for dinner? If you are, then eat a dinner. But if you aren't hungry, then don't bother and just get back on track tomorrow.

It's essentially fruit puree and water. When you look at the labels, they tell you what they include. For example, the Mighty Mango has over 1 whole mango, almost 2 whole apples, 1/2 an orange and 1/3 of a banana. Would you sit down and eat that much fruit for a meal? What you could do, is mix half a smoothie with a little…

@vnb_208 and @Francl27 - I found the Ben and Jerry's Pumpkin at Target this week.

I enjoy drinking. I actually enjoy drinking more than I enjoy eating. I have a few different patterns that I stick to, depending on what the event is. regular dinner, week night - 2 light beers dinner out, date night - 1 craft double IPA or 2 regular IPAs holiday dinner- 1 light beer, 1 regular beer, 2 glasses of wine…

Eat a Quest Bar. Most of those are 4g net carbs.

I used to do long distance and I've gotten through about 3.5 hours of running (about 23 miles) without food or water. Fueled properly before and my body was fine. Everyone is different so if you feel the need to eat, I'd suggest Starburst. They are easy to chew and will even help produce some extra saliva in your mouth.

I haven't needed a stove or an oven in years. 2 more pieces of equipment to buy - toaster oven and a George foreman grill. They aren't necessary, but they'll help a lot! Things you can cook in the microwave baked potato (6 minutes) pasta- single serving in a small bowl, fill with water to cover noodle, microwave for 3…

Maybe this works for you, but it's not for everyone. My snacks foods include beef jerky, turkey jerky, chicken jerky etc hard boiled eggs veggie burger patty cottage cheese protein bar protein shake I'm not a fan of volume eating so it does work for me to just include everything in my meals. That would be three 800-900…

Cereal is awesome. If it works for you, eat it. I used to use a Boost or an Ensure Plus instead of milk. A while ago when I was having a really, really hard time eating, I found oatmeal to be a safe food and I ate it 5 times a day. Some food was better than no food.

For the vast majority, there is no need to carb load. Many people use this as an excuse to eat a ton the night before the race when in reality you could be setting yourself up for a sick stomach and feeling overall crummy. I will make a point to eat a balanced breakfast that includes carbs. I do not eat or drink while I…
