Shrimp. Frozen tail on raw, deveined, $11 per pound. Consider it 2 servings. 50g protein.

Polar canned salmon and rice.

Perhaps my comment came off a bit harsh. Sorry. But, a bet for a difficult or maybe impossible goal will not really help. What makes sense is to ease into a realistic calorie reduction program including the items of food that you enjoy. Pay off the bet and set your sights on 1 pound every 10-14 days which is about a 350…

Concern about saturated fats is old incorrect science foisted on the public to explain (without scientific predicate) an increase in coronary heart disease in the second half of the 20th century. Nothing prevents people from marching to this old tune any more than throwing salt over the shoulder or rubbing a potato on a…

That will still be 100 calories off because the pan will be coated with about a tablespoon of fat. The only way is to weigh the cooked product that you actually consume. The only time to use raw is when the meat goes in the dish and you eat every bit of it.

There is a difference between thinking about a problem and acting on a solution. The old adage: "I can't fix my brain with my brain" turns out to be true. It is also true that no person can fix your brain with their words. What you can do is to act "as if" you are a sane person and the results of that acting will change…

OK, if the entire ground beef ingredient is eaten, and the fat not drained off, you can use raw. But, since rendered fat that is drained or stays in the pan at 115 calories per tablespoon, your count will be vastly inaccurate if you both drain and use a raw weight. When I make chili for 6 servings I easily pour off three…

Its this kind of antics that obscure the whole point of calorie counting. This is not a sacrifice. Its a plan to enjoy eating, but just withing parameters. And, the parameters don't come from a "bet." They come from science.

Let's remember that the target audience for the Food Pyramid are not really the intensely interested folks here. They are mostly kids and unfortunate adults who, for whatever reason, get most of their food from plastic bags that come from a convenience store. Its sort of like when you get the instructions on your space…

Butter got a bad rap as a consequence of some bad science, now dispelled. The science moved from condemning butter to essentially neutral since butter promotes both good and bad cholesterol. And, to make matters even more cloudy, there is declining support for the science that dietary cholesterol matter at all. So, unless…

The most powerful psychological forces affecting weight loss are denial and aversion. Denial is that phenomenon that let's mama think her 22 year old high school dropout who sleeps till noon got the BMW with the 22" wheels for helping his buddy out with his schoolwork. Aversion is that force that let's mom ignore the fact…

Isn't that special. Do you think that a person who is making his own Sloppy Joe might be able to look at the package and see how many calories his bun has? Or, did you think that since I said a hamburger bun has 150 calories, which it does, he would disregard the "200 calories" on his package and go with my number? Or,…

I'm usually under the 1720 goal for me at the end of the day. So, I have desert when I am more than 300 calories low. Ice cream bar, Chocolate. That sort of thing. Usually about 200 calories. But, I don't try to supplement my diet for the day with things I might have included in my meals. I add to dinner if I notice a…

You should check your facts before you run your mouth. Kroger and Manwich which probably make up 70% of the volume of this product in the US have 35 calories per serving. The meat will be 250 to 400 calories depending on the questions I put above. A hamburger bun has 150 calories. Could you find some "artesian" hoagie bun…

Its really about the meat. Is it drained? 80/20 or 90/10? Weighed cooked or raw? The sauce doesn't really matter. The bun is 150 more or less.

Having plenty of everything I like is key. Right now I have frozen fish: 4lb raw shrimp, 5lb cod filets, 2 lb Icelandic salmon, 2-3lb of sea scallops. So when in doubt, I drop a freezer bag in some water, 30 minutes later it is thawed and ready to broil or saute. Now to find some sides.

I'm an "estimator" when it comes to planning.But, I weigh everything. I'm aimng for 500 calories. So I will say, salmon tonight that is about 6 oz so it will come in at 250 calories, so I'll have baked french fries with it usually around 120 cal plus ketchup, and maybe some pickled beets or a green salad with balsamic.…

That would be weight, not volume unless you are measuring things like flour and rice which, when dry refer to cups, tablespoons, etc.

I'd like to see Chicken Pot Pie Poptarts.

Daily sodium levels is a controversial topic. Billions of dollars are at risk to the notion that reduced sodium products are not helpful in maintaining heart health. So reduced sodium products are promoted with a zeal that cannot be overcome. If you do not have high blood pressure, a recent cardiac procedure, or water…

I weigh before and after whenever the thng has bones, skin parts I don't eat. Also do before and after when I just bring the container out and don't take a portion in the kitchen. Like egg salad or sauces. Bottle weighed 233g on the way to the table 216 on the way back. 17g to log.

Every morning, 6 days a week, 312 days per year, for more than 30 years, raw oats, granola and wheaties (65g) banana and strawberries, skim or 1% milk.

I gotta get some Oreos.

A lot of disappointment this week because a lot of stuff is affected by the weather. Even stuff from Central and South America.

I get both. And, I like them both. $9 and $20 respectively. But, I must admit. The $20/lb Icelandic wild caught is different. Much different. I wish it wasn't better, but it just is.

Weight is lost by taking in less calories than you consume or expel. Everything else is an excuse.

Eat a balanced diet with foods that have protein, like meat, fish and eggs.

Weigh them before and after eating. Skim, bones, inedibles a deduction from weight.

Most of the entries in the MFP database are wrong. But, once you find one that is correct and use it, it appears in your frequent list and eliminates the needed step of confirmation from a manufacturer or third party source. UnderArmor should be ashamed of their database, but apparently they don't care. All they would have…

I switched to marinated flank steak charcoal grilled or filet Mignon, pan fried in a pat of butter. For the filet, you only need 4 oz., about 300 calories.
