I don't get chick peas. I know, I know. If I don't like em, don't eat em. I get that. But, seriously. Is there any other pulse that has worst taste and texture than a chick pea? I mean think about eating a cup of sweet peas, or Lima beans or even red lentils all with a lot less calories. And actual good tase without 5…

I like shrimp salad. Saute raw jumbo shrimp in something spicy, remove tails chop in thirds and stir into a lettuse salad. Fried Spam Lite is also a great addition to a green salad with a tiny bit of Mayo. I use 14g of real Mayo per salad of chopped Romaine with shrimp, cold salmon, Spam Lite, or BBQ pulled chicken. Of…

Popcorn is, of course, the best low cost snack food. Popped on the stove top wit Pam and no oil, powdered (nut and candy) salt which sticks to it, it is low in calories and cost. But, for a change of pace, microwave potato chips made from fresh Russet potatoes, no salt no oil, cooked on a paper towel sprayed with Pam in…

Washing fruit and veges is good to remove dirt and sand. Does nothing for bacteria.

When it comes to fruits, I think much of "organic" differentiation is just BS. My belief is that the producers like Driscolls produce 100% organic and label their better looking produce organic tp charge 50% more and the not so good looking without the "organic claim" at the competitive price point. I say this because I…

Most white fish has about 1 calorie per gram. On average. but, certainly .5 calories per gram is not impossible.

Aversion is like the waves sweeping the sand on the beach. Without even noticing it, the OP has averaged more like 1800 calories than 1200 . It can happen to anyone. the only defense is the scale and the commitment to log the food contemporaneously with when it is eaten. It is not the blood, not the hormones, not the…

I think most people missed your question. Do you have a microwave at work or are you eating out of a bag. It matters. And, do you have refrigeration? I really like a mix of chicken and egg salad. I get a rotisserie chicken and pull off all the clear meat (no skin, connective tissue or bones) and get three meals for $5. Add…

If one wants to know what someone else wants, what they really really want, one only has to look at what they have because well functioning people get exactly what they want over time. When you want to lose the weight, not just say you do, or want to please others, you now know how to do it. Of course, one has to work…

Counting calories works. Fad diets mostly don't. Tell your family to butt out and concentrate on CICO by substituting things you like that have less calories for things you like that have more calories. Such as shrimp cocktail instead of creme of shrimp soup or fresh berries instead of salted peanuts or broiled salmon…

I was done with your sophistry, but this made me laugh so much I have to respond. Do you not see the irony of your rhetorical question? It is essentially my only point. Diet experts and medical doctors have studied the long term effects of just about every diet anomaly, from too much salt to one glass of red wine at…

Please don't try to make me the scientist. Or, probably yourself. If you don't see the difference between milk and whey based protein supplement then you have no questions to ask. And, if, for example, whey protein is a harmless substitute for real food, why not 100% supplements? Or, 75%.

I think you have made the best case for supplements, and expressed it perfectly, and which I have always acknowledged is a reasonable choice given what we know about their long term effects, which is not much. But, it is an experiment without monitoring due to the rules that exempt protein supplements from FDA oversight.…

OK, you like supplements. I get that. I question supplements. You get that. But, do you really want to control my opinions?

Are there remote places where real food is not available but powdered supplements are?

The fat is rendered out at 9 calories per gram. Notice it in the pan? Or, on grilling, do you see the flames from the fire? That is the fat. An 80/20 5 oz burger, medium well will lose 100 calories of fat to the pan.

I usually don't repeat myself because it is irritating. but, you folks have to know that diarrhea constipation, headaches flatulence, nutrition challenges requiring lots of pills etc. are signals which should be interpreted as a warning that dietary supplements instead of actual food are a potential problem. Just eat less…

I went through just about every reasonable looking frozen meal when I started a couple years ago. Dozens. Other than Stouffers Lasagna, I did not find a single one that was edible. They are all drek.

Protein supplements are an experiment in progress. It can take decades for the consequences of food products to show up because the digestive system is so resilient. Certainly persons with a medical need to supplement protein in the face of legitimate dietary restrictions, should consider them, but this whole movement…

Da Nile is not a river in Africa. Its calling that meal 785 calories.

Well, you logged it wrong. The bread is fried, 400 calories. And, its not top Sirloin, its sirloin 300 calories, and the Hollandaise is 85 calories per TSPB. Total 1000.

1000

To be really accurate, weigh it twice. Dry for total calories and cooked for the total and your portion of the total. I cook pasta only for myself and 75g is about the usual, however, I dial that back or forward depending in what else is in the dish.

It was a problem for me until I learned that it goes to waste either way.

You and I have very similar numbers. I started at 242 pounds and have maintained 176 for two years following a year and a half of weight loss solely based on calorie reduction initially to 2420 per day, now maintaining at 1720 per day. I feel great. My recommendation for you of 80kg was bang on. You don't need exercise…

Go to the goals section in the My Home menu and set a goal of 80kg at 1 kg a month. Get your daily calories goal and ignore nutrition, carbs, processed food and everything else but calories. When you get to 80kg you can worry about that stuff.

Here is the base recipe before adding bacon, cheese spinach or greek yogurt (barf alert). 2 large eggs 170 1 cup half and half 320 Pinch freshly grated nutmeg 0 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 0 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (fresh or frozen) 949 So the base quiche typically has about 1500 calories for a 9" pie making it a little…

Unless there are a lot of goofy items substituted for the real recipe items, most any quiche made from a popular recipe source will come in around 4 calories per gram. Of course with the right variables one could easily push that up to 5 or 6 calories per gram. Although there is a little protein in the eggs, a quiche is…

Oh no! She will have to use vege broth. Sacrilege.

The mussels are unimportant. The butter in the sauce is where 95% of the calories will be found.
