I will add, this in my mind is a small meal. I frame it as that not a snack. So for me it's not replacing a meal, it's a small meal on the go to keep me from hunger, over eating later or snacking.

I recently started eating a 30g 'meal replacement' bar. It has 114 calories and 7 grams protein. It takes away my hunger and I can happily then train hard at the gym etc with the energy I get. I'm under no illusions that this is largely sugar related energy boost. However this low calorie protein is a good fix for me.…

Hi I've found my mfp friends to be so encouraging. Do you have mfp friends to boost and support each other? I'll be your friend for example 😃 happy to motivate you.

Hi I'm not using the app that long but I think you just can change your settings?

I use the garmin hr+ . Any replies to do with the garmin & mfp Im interested. Thanks for posting.

Hi, I wasn't shopping for a carb blocker. I was shopping for protein powder and came across these products. I didn't want one to be clear thanks!

Hi, yes I was on a bodybuilding / fitness website pricing protein powder and came accross these products. One of them was called 'carb blocker'

Roasted Brussel sprouts! Amazing

This is an old thread but I was wondering about this. I came across appetite suppressant herbal tablets, carb blocker and fat reducer tablets online. Ive seen brands like this in the pharmacy. Do they work?

I live in Spain and a serving here on the package is 100g dry same as Italy. I also weigh 50gr penne and fill up on vegetables.

Im vegetarian and use frozen vegetables also alongside fresh. Its very handy to throw a few frozen vegetables in to chinese egg noodles, quality stock, maybe frozen quorn or fresh tofu and bingo its a noodle soup so quick and healthy and easy. I freeze herbs too and so will have coriander (cilantro) etc frozen also and…

I want to add Spelt and pearl barley to this.

From what I know magnesium links in with many other nutrients in the body and so is a very important element. It aids sleep and anxiety because of its links with neuro transmitters and hormones involving serotonin and dopamine and nerves. It can easily be that your body has gone out of synch and is now over supplementing…

Such helpful responses here!

-Tofu - Yellow split peas - Dill - Cacao (has more nutrition than cocoa) - Light soy milk - Rooibus tea - Cottage cheese

I know a nutritionist I would recommend! She is a UK qualified pharmacist that became a nutritionist. She works as a team with her husband who is a UK qualified physiotherapist and personal trainer. I would happily recommend her and give you her contact details to chat online to her.

Hi, yes de skinning definitely fiddly so mostly don't bother. However canned tomatoes are peeled typically so that works out well. Id pretty much always d.e seed though just push out the seeds with my thumb :-)

I'm a therapist but this isn't the place to get that kind of support. It is a good place however to share your experiences and learn what is possible from others. There are positive supportive people here. Cravings as you speak of could even perhaps have a medical cause. Only a blood test will determine if you are craving…

I could say breasts because I paid for them and it really hurt getting them. However in truth above all its my brain. I love my intelligence.

Here's a great link, if you scroll way down past all the nutrition benefits of tomatoes, this article discusses why tomatoes create a sensitivity for some people: https://draxe.com/nutrition/vegetables/tomato-nutrition/ My grandfather with arthritis and who is on warfarin recently developed a nasty skin rash. His…

Tomato and roasted red pepper soup. The red pepper is charred with skin removed. No skin on tomatoes either or seeds. They make it in Spain.

Isn't one a Coconut macaroon?

I'm Irish and carrot & parsnips is a food I grew up with. Sounds similar to what you made mashing turnip & carrot.

Hi, you say you want to have a treat every day. I gather that a treat for you is junky kind of sweet food. You mention sweet food and I dont think you mean sweetcorn, sweetpotato etc. :-) I treated myself to a super juicy Mango the other day. Im currently treating myself to a soy latte barley drink which I find so soothing…

Thanks so very much!! Nice of you really appreciate it. I will have LOTS of fun!

Yes I want to know this also!

What is your BMR? Mine apparently is 1300 calories by this calculator and I'm sedentary working from home and 5 2. https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=46&csex=f&cheightfeet=5&cheightinch=2&cpound=108&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cmop=0&coutunit=c&cformula=m&cfatpct=20&x=76&y=22#

Mango has a similar starchiness and sweetness level to banana and so works well in my experience for a frozen 'nice cream'

Thanks for posting. This was interesting Ive never heard of such a thing as chickpea 'butter'

Hi, you have installed the app on your phone yes? You have to activate bluetooth on your phone, turn it on. Then press the blue tooth symbol on the watch and synch the watch to the app by pairing with the smart phone. Online on the My Fitness Pal website I clicked into the apps and selected Garmin Connect. I have the…
