I think its trial and error until you find what works best for you. I work long 2nd/3rd shifts. I eat something light before going in and I eat two healthy meals from home plus a small snack while at work and a small snack at home before bed. I am no expert, but I think it does not matter when you eat, as much as what you…

I did not know pumpernickel wraps were a thing...now I am on a mission! Thank you!

Regular television...stopped watching regular tv, and ate less.

All of the responses are great, but especially ^^^these two^^^ To piggy back on what has already been said, When someone touches or invades your space, always yell and be loud, and lets also hope that others will help out. I would hope that everyone on here, if they heard someone yell, DON'T GRAB ME THAT IS NOT OKAY that…

You are all my type of people-feel free to add me! I try to stay away from processed foods, and eat a mostly veggie diet and cook from scratch. My MFP friends all eat sugary single serving type stuff and I need more veggie friends to gain inspiration from!

lol, I second that! What kind of wrap? I cannot find wraps under 200 cal., and what is the powdery looking stuff on your salad? Is it garlic powder? looks delicious!

I am in a similar boat. I work 10-15 hour shifts, and will be back in school 3/4 time soon, so my life is too busy for daily cooking. I do not like to rely on processed foods, powders, and bars. They do not make me feel good. I have always lived alone on a tight budget, so eating the same thing for days is common. I have…

Love that series!

Lol, sometimes a woman just needs that pint of ice cream though! I actually have never had Halo Top, and will be picking some up tomorrow if I can find it.

You are my food prep idol! I started doing something similar when I started going to school, but I wasn't tracking my calories at that time. I do this on a smaller scale for work meals, and plan on doing a few big cooking days again before school starts back up. I am in awe over the "running inventory list" and am going to…

You can water with a solution with water and Epsom salts to increase fruiting. Often animals will bite into things like tomatoes for a water source. Try putting out a little container of water, it may help prevent them from nipping on your tomatoes. There are containers called Smart Pots that are made from a felt-like…

Loneliness and stress are both huge factors here! I have recently moved closer to work and really don't know many people except the people I work with. I have been changing my eating habits...I was eating so much junk food at work-well over 2000 extra calories at night, plus pizza and fried chicken on my days off...I have…

I love this! People who cook are so creative and innovative! I will be looking for the ginger syrup and am about to google edamame pasta because I have never heard of it.

@Gisel2015 I cook from my heart, or maybe my belly and NEVER MEASURE or really use a recipe. I am a total foodie weirdo! I have only just started to weigh my food/recipes. Here's what I made: 3 egg, Hard Boiled - Large 224.00 gram, Spaghetti 21.00 gram, Onion 2 can drained, Packed In Water- 95 g (1/2 c), Frozen Green…

I make a cherry tomato and basil salad with quinoa (can use rice, bulgar wheat, pasta, or barley you get the picture) and I put tons of halved cherry tomatoes, basil, raw garlic, and a little feta cheese. I don't add any oil or dressing and I add or dont add other veggies-depending on my mood. Or a tomato basil pasta While…

I "plan" for my overeating and put it into my diary in the morning- then make my food choices around whatever I am going to have-usually its a couple of drinks/beers and a bag of popcorn. One bag has three "servings" but I eat the whole thing! I make sure to eat light all day, knowing that I have snacks to look forward to.…

It's really hot here and I have been doing a big batch of quinoa and making salads-massaged kale keeps really well, salads can keep for a while-Veggies like celery, carrots, cabbage, peppers and hardy greens do well for a while (3/4 days)-I keep out the tomatoes and cukes until I want them b/c they do not keep as well.

Frozen grapes are good.

Re-reading Outlander by Diana Gabaladon. Before that, The Kite Runner.

Haha, like an intervention or a filter. I'll be following this thread!

Some people make their diaries open to friends. So just friend people who have open diaries. I like looking at other people's diaries too, it gives me ideas for meals. Feel free to add me, my diary is open. I am a volume veggie eater! I have a question-can friends see my recipes? I don't have any one that makes their own…

I usually buy Cabot Greek Plain yogurt.

People who do not spay/neuter their cats...you could be the coolest person in the world, but if I find out you own un-spayed or un-neutered cats I will think you are stupid and hate you for ever. Plus your house probably smells.

I'm a volume eater too, anyone have any unique things they like to throw in their salads? I do a lot of raw garlic, EVOO and lemon juice, or just dry. There are lots of balsamic vinegar sprays that are nice too. I also make a tzatziki type dressing with garlic, Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, and balsamic…

This thread is great. I am experiencing a heat wave here too! I have been cooking a big batch of quinoa and hard boiled eggs at the beginning of the week and buying pre-seasoned tofu and just zapping things in the microwave or cold massaged kale salads with quinoa...and getting real bored. Salad fatigue! I'm thinking a…

I am a newbie to gaming and I bought Skyrim because it was cheap... and I cannot stop playing it! I love it.

Agriculture!

I like it! I make a peanut butter chocolate banana oatmeal that I am rather fond of. I have not made it since joining my fitness pal because it is more of a winter meal. I do not know it's calories, but it is darn good. Smash up an over ripe banana, oats, put in whatever milk you prefer, or water if that's your thing, add…

I think this is right-click onto their name, a box will show up, click onto their name again and click the add option.

I try and do things other than watch tv- video games, have company over, homework, reading. Its hard, I also have a snack monster that comes out at night, and sometimes she's uncontrollable! Planning for it and leaving yourself extra calories helps.
