Cold. Waves of crushing cold. Granted, I live in Michigan and it's like 10 degrees right now, but the house never feels warm enough. I have a heating mat to sit on or rest my feet on. Husband actually is LESS interested in me. I think he prefers plumper. I might just be over thinking, but he has always said "skinny girls…

Yup. Different circumstantial experiences exist, but on average...yup.

It is Imperial Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout d!k measuring season and there aren't enough calories in a week to keep up with the new stock at the Wine & Beer Boutique that I work at

1/4 cup air popped with a light spray of coconut oil from the can, topped with fake cheese powder or a light salt or salt & 1tsp sugar for the "kettle" experience...mmmm Low cal and great for after dinner munchie attacks In the summer I do a farm market where my neighbor vendor has a 100yo cast iron corn popper....he does…

Cheese serving size

That I weigh 140 pounds and my dog weighs 30 pounds and she is allowed almost as much food/calories as me.

I'll take 2. To hell with my calories! As a kid I would go to a small town Autumn Festival where townspeople would set up and sell all kinds of soul food, traditional heritage foods & crafts. There was an Oooold guy that looked like he would blow away in a gentle breeze, he sold baklava. I can still feel it melting in my…

A man wakes up from his nap, feeling a cold draft and says, "Honey, did you leave the door open, it's cold in here?". His wife walks into the living room puzzled and remarks "No, why.....where's the TV?".

I pretended to eat a bite of throat-peeling stomach wrecking hot pepper in front of my friend, to convince her to try one. She popped the whole thing in her mouth, it was the size of a small grape. The neat thing about the pepper was that the heat came on in intensifying waves, so you had time to chew and swallow before…

I wondered this too. I assumed if I ate the beans then the calories would be higher, but just drinking steeped liquid should be negligible. I too have been stagnant at 1200 cal a day. Hiw long have you been at it and how much do you have to lose?

I have wondered about those cans too. Why can't they just put the total volume calories on the can?! At least that way I can divide the total across the average number of meals I use it on. I mostly use it for airpopped popcorn, to get salt to stick.

Eat dinner around 7-9pm and I go in the morning like an alarm clock went off. Nothing is a better motivator to get out of bed than that

Blue corn chips, beer (high gravity craft amazeballs *kitten*).

I find that I hit a point in workouts where I feel like the pain in my lungs might make me implode, or like i am breathing through a coffee straw. I try to focus very clearly on my breathing.....in through the nose, out through the mouth. Stay steady and moderated, keep your chin down and try to keep from gasping, find a…

It's not regular cut bacon. It is Jowl bacon, which is a much fattier cut from the cheek of the pig. We buy it BECAUSE it puts off fat that we can use later. 1 oz jowl bacon usda 189 calories. I assume that is before it is cooked though. Once cooked 1# jowl bacon loses 1/4# of fat. I figure that is a loss of 1/4 of the net…

I figured it would be better to cook the whole pound of jowl bacon & deduct drippings because there is about 1/2 a cup of fat left behind. That much fat gets used in Tbls. sized portions for cooking eggs or pan searing veggies over the course of weeks of meals. Much of it won't be used by me, but rather by my spouse. He is…

I have that same problem. Especially if the bottle is immediately at hand.

7:30pm is my "happy hour" hard time. I try to drink a 12oz unsweetened soda water between every serving of alcohol. Or tea. Set the glass down far enough away that I have to move the angry cat off my lap to reach it again.

Alcohol is a hard one for me. Drinking is part of by job, I work at a boutique wine & craft beer shop. We don't offer sampling, but several times a week sales reps come in with multiple samples. Those days I have to skip breakfast & lunch just to stay on target. Normally I can polish off a whole bottle of wine a night.…

Unfortunately my package doesn't have a cooked calorie listing and couldn't find anything that differentiates between the two for this cut of fatty meat. We save all the fat drippings for other cooking. My thought process is to measure the drippings and deduct the caloriesof that from the raw calorie value.

Personally I have tge opposite problem, but my husband is like you. He is thin and eats a lot without gaining weight. I just finished doing a tally of what he has eaten today SO FAR, and added the projected dinner & snack calories..... We totalled his intake at roughly 4000 calories today. He is 37, has a low activity job,…
