Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate (sugar free or low sugar option if you can). You and your partner can feed them to each other.. the anticipation will burn off the calories :) haha. If you want ice-cream, how about making your own yummy frozen yoghurt? if you freeze it a bit, then whip it up, then freeze again it goes…

26?

I've been out of uni for a year - 24 years old. Working full time is maybe even crazier :) haha Would love to meet others close to my age. Anyone on here please add me.

I'm 24, love to be friends!

I eat fish, eggs and occasionally chicken but not dairy or red meat. My diet is probably 70% vegan, I usually eat either eggs or fish in one meal per day. I used to be completely veg. My eating habits are due to both health and ethical/environmental reasons. I'd actually really like to phase eggs out too, eventually. Love…

If you're exercising a lot more than before you might be building muscle at the same time as losing fat. Maybe go by measurements/how you look and feel rather than weight. I am at a weight I like, and am a pretty consistant eater - and my weight goes up and down like 4 pounds from one day to the next... weight is not as…

BEST THREAD EVER! :) Rich Dark Chocolate antioxidants just can't negate sugar's sin ...(but I love you anyway)

It's SOOOO yummy! Great as a cooking oil, in sweets and in smoothies. It's often touted as speeding up your metabolism and keeping some nasties, like candida, away. I don't know if thats true or not, but I have found that my skin is a lot less dry since I added it to my diet. Just remember that even though it's marketed as…

My partner and I are healthy eaters on a budget! I have slowly won him over to my ways of eating by making healthy stuff that's delicious.. now it is a joint effort :) phew! I think planning meals ahead, prepping in large batches and ahead of time, and buying in bulk are the key factors for us. Can you go to a big greek,…

How about swapping to healthier choices? By healthier, I mean ones which contain more other nutrients, or will burn more slowly and keep you full. Potatoes -> sweet potatoes/carrots Pasta -> konjac noodles/vegetable pasta Flour -> besan flour/sorghum flour/coconut flour Couscous -> Quinoa If you eat bread…

I'm 24. I'd also love to have some more friends close to my age. I'm a health nut when it comes to food, and a bit of a gym junkie too. Work full time in marketing and also play the piano as a second job.. would love to chat with people who are living a similar lifestyle - ie lots of work hours, or anyone who wants to…

blueberries, coconut oil and a whole cinnamon stick! protein powder mixed with water til it resembles yoghurt, and topped with coconut and/or berries cooked egg white and sugar-free jam!

If you try to add extra protein to your diet, you'll minimise carbs by default. ie if you have protein at every meal, you wont have any calories left to be eating carbs! The thing to watch out for is that "carbs" aren't limited to bread and pasta. Fruit is mostly carbs (sugar and fibre). lots of veggies are carb-heavy (not…

depends on how hard you go with the squats how often you can do them, if you're just doing body weight than I'd say go for as often as possible! and definitely do some lunges too. If you have a gym memebership, can you go on the stepper? that kills my butt! really good move: get on your hands and knees, swing one leg back…

I wish I had your problem! Haha. I'm addicted to almonds. How about Avocado instead? Or smoked salmon on some flaxseed crackers - double dose of omega 3 there. Have you tried tamari roasted almonds? They're amazing. What about making muesli bars and/or muesli that contains a mix of nuts? You could add almond meal to…

YES! :) I use Sun Warrior protein. I've tried heaps and this is my favourite. Very natural and "clean" as well as yummy! I find that if I have a high protein breakfast I am more full and less prone to sugar cravings throughout the day. I try to get in 50g protein by lunch.. this has worked really well for me. On another…

Brown Rice protein powder! Sun Warrior. It's the best. What about other cereals - amaranth has lots of protein. Even Oats have quite a bit. Seeds - pumpkin seeds are high protein. sunflower, chia and linseed are all great too. Broccoli has quite a bit of protein in it! Other soy products - edamame, Tempeh (considered the…

I'm about to turn 25. I want to lose a max of about 5kg (maybe less depending on how it looks on me), so different goal from some of you, but would love to make some new friends on here! Always keen to share ideas and motivate each other. :)

My favourites: Nuts - esp almonds Eggs - hard boiled, or made into frittatas Prawns with a dipping sauce (preferably homemade :) ) Almond butter on flax seed crackers Smoked salmon Chicken/fish/lean mince patties cooked the night before Home made protein balls Smoothie with protein powder and/or eggs and/or LSA/Chia seeds…

Good on you, that's awesome! First of all... I know it seems like a no-brainer, but are you sleeping enough? When I first started hitting the gym I was sooo tired, untill I started sleeping about an extra hour a night. When I do a big work out, I definitely need more sleep! Could you be deficient in iron? This is a big one…

My cheap and healthy eats: Fish cakes - mix tinned tuna with mashed sweet potato, or grated zucchini for a lower cal option, bind with egg and lightly flour before baking (or frying is you are allowing yourself the extra oil.. it tastes yummy!) You can make a massive batch for about $10. Great for dinner or lunch. Veggie…

Hey, you are really consistent and your portions and calories look great. My opinion is you could definitely squeeze in more fruit and especially veg. Adding broccoli at dinner or extra leafy greens somewhere would be a good start? Your diary looks like you are a busy person, maybe fruit is a good snack? I usually have a…

Hey Sam, where abouts are you? I take Sun Warrior protein almost every day. Here in Australia it is quite expensive ($70-$80 per kilo) but I've looked online before and in the US i think it's more like $45. I have tried soooo many vegan proteins and it is the nicest and the best, nurtitionally speaking. I also buy a…

homemade frittatas are great for taking to work. you can use just the egg whites if you're really watching the cals. I make mine with heaps of veg - broccoli and mushrooms mostly - and if you want the DELUXE filling version add your turkey and chicken to that! I have recently got onto Slim Pasta (that's what its called in…

Hi lovely, We are the same age and a similar height (I'm 5'10) so I thought I'd just share some of what works for me - hopefully it will be helpful. Firstly, I agree with what a lot of others have said - be more accurate with your logging; for example when you have a home-made pizza, add all the ingredients individually. I…
