peprmintpt, It's a pain but at least you'll know which to choose ones for the future!

Complete proteins such as meats, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, yogurt, soy, and milk. Or you can combine the incomplete proteins as wyndwoman said like combining grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and other vegetables. This website hits some good combinations. http://www.bodyforlife2.com/incompletprotein.htm

Now Sports Whey Protein! You can get any company, but I recommend getting Whey protein over any other forms.

I had an old ice hockey teammate that I think played where you live. They have a OHL team right? Feel free to add. Good luck!

He's right. The amount that you aren't losing is water weight caused by sodium in the diet. Water tends to go where sodium leads it. Ie through your blood stream. Remove the skins if there is any! Can you go for Chicken tenderloins instead? Grilled or baked and not deep fried. The amount of fat in chicken wings can affect…

My bad, I thought about it and I should have elaborated on more examples. It doesn't work for everybody, but it's just one example. I apologize. We all have to find what motivates us to workout and me eating guilty foods helps with that. When I'm running on that treadmill all I see is a doritos locos in the distance…

Always stay positive. Tell yourself that you will succeed because you are motivated. Figure out what motivates you and remind yourself of that everyday. Maybe that's what you need. Your goal is to beat your friend. Then she will be sorry that you can fit into a bikini 3 sizes below her. ;] Use this network as a support, if…

The protein in chocolate milk will not necessarily make you bulky....unless you drink a TON. When you workout you are tearing your muscle. The protein you eat breaks down into amino acids that your body needs to repair the torn muscles. The sugar in chocolate milk help as simple sugars such as glucose to replace the loss…

Start cooking your own beans unless those are sodium free beans in water. A lot of canned foods have too much sodium.

That sounds like my diet when I was in season for hockey because your CHO/PRO/FAT ratio is similar to what I would eat. What kind of diet are you following if you don't mind me asking?

You should see results if you have a calorie deficit by the end of your week. Losing a pound of fat/week is roughly 3500 calories. The deficit of energy expenditure and energy intake should be 500 per day for the 7 days. However, if you don't have a deficit by the end of the week, you will not see results. I can't see your…

Follow what you scan on the label. It should say 100g brown rice uncooked normally. 1/2 cup of uncooked rice is usually 1 cup of cooked rice. 2/3 cup uncooked is 100g. What do you mean you diet says 115g?

Do you have confirmed Celiacs? That's usually associated with lactose intolerance. But you may have food allergies which are much more severe. Have you ever had anaphylaxis? You don't need an epi pen do you? 1200 is the recommended minimum calorie intake. But everyone's right. Go to a Dietitian, NOT a nutritionist.…

trail mix bar, nuts, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs... http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/15-foods-to-help-you-lose

There over 200,000 members I believe. Just add everyone you can post things you want from them and get it rolling!

All of this ^^^^^ Any restaurant chain, fine dining, and anything that you haven't prepared from scratch will be high in sodium. I looked for I'd say about 20 minutes for peanut butter with no salt. I found 1 natural brand that had it! Same with pasta sauces. You have to put in the time and effort to shop through your…

I will forever eat the DORITOS LOCOS at Taco Bell as long as they are serving it! hahahhahaha

You're absolutely correct! The body has to work harder to break down the foods like complex starches such as WHOLE GRAINS and beans and legumes. They also contain a lot of fiber and resistant starches that the small intestine doesn't absorb all of the sugar. If you are eating simple sugars like fruit juices, fruit,…

Natural sugars are ok, however I would recommend eating whole fruits and not dried or dehydrated fruits. Whole fruits will keep you more full opposed to the concentrated dried fruits, thus allowing you to eat more and consume way more calories of sugar in your diet. I would choose to eat fat over sugar. Eating fat doesn't…

I'm working on the same. I'm cutting and bulking. I have definition with my abs but I still want to be bigger. But there's gotta be a way to do both at the same time. Getting abs is mainly what you eat. We all have abs under belly fat. I'm trying to lower my body fat so that way I can bulk once I've gotten my "8" pack.…

Welcome to the community! You are on your way to becoming a healthier you! Research has shown that people who record daily food diaries actually eat less because they are more conscious of what they're eating. It will be tough in the beginning but don't give up! Never exclude any foods even if that means you are going over…

have you tried just weighted cardio like plyometrics, steps, jump rope, etc? burpees, weightest squat thrusts. they are killer exercises and burns a lot of calories in very short amounts of time.

Don't give up! Hopefully you didn't stop anything cold turkey! That's usually when it's the hardest. Help yourself taper the bad foods out of your diet. Some people find joy in exercising, maybe you need to find a fun activity that includes activity. For me walking is boring so I put on some good tunes on my ipod and go…

Just graduated from college with a BS in Foods and Nutrition. I am technically a degreed nutritionist. Add me if you would like any advice on reaching your goals. I also am a workout enthusiast and know a lot of different exercises to help reach your goals. I've played ice hockey and golf for the past 20 years and I have…

http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/2011/07/healthy-eating-for-weight-loss-8-foods-that-keep-you-full-and-4-that-dont#slide=1 Check that article out. She gives examples of some foods that make you full and make you hungry. Maybe it'll give you another reason why you feel so hungry often.

Both are good. They contain different amounts of unsaturated fats poly/mono. Just make sure you try to find the ones with 0mg of salt. And they must not contain any partially hydrogenated oils. Go for the All natural ones.

People sometimes misinterpret thirst for hunger. Drinking more water like Linda said is a good start. A good goal to help with hunger is to eat smaller meals more frequently with breakfast being the most important meal of the day! Shoot to eat every 2-3 hours albeit a snack of some nuts, protein shake, or a nutritious…

You'll have to be on that elliptical for a while to burn off that pizza. Try HIIT or cardio with weights. You can finish that in about 15-45 minutes and burn even more depending on what you choose. Making that pizza more satisfying.
