My favorite meal that I eat when I don't have too much time is the Vegetable and Noodle Progresso Soup. Soo yummy and only 120 calories. Then I usually have sliced apples and pita bread with hummus on the side.

I usually eat a decent breakfast, a light lunch, and then a bigger dinner. So I would say: 400 300 500 For breakfast I usually have oatmeal and bananas, for lunch I eat a low calorie soup with pita bread and hummus on the side, and for dinner I like to have salad and pasta. I guess it just depends on which meal you like…

brushing my teeth or chewing gum keeps me busy.

The soup sounds good. How would I prepare that. I don't usually make my own soups. Would I cook the rice first and then put it into the broth with veggies and tofu? I am not the most experienced cook as you can tell. : ]

I completely agree with gia80. I drink the slim fast powder blended with fat free milk and ice. I only use it as an alternative for one meal a day (usually breakfast) and I don't eat any of the bars or snacks. Not only does it give me energy, but it also gives me plenty of fiber in order to be regular. Plus it tastes…

Well, it depends on what you are looking for. Tropical paradise or city? For a nice relaxing vacation I would suggest something in the Caribbean or even on the coast of Florida. Seeing as you like cruises, I am sure that you have already been to Grand Cayman? If not, it is a must see. While there you get to swim with and…

You can burn a lot more calories if you exercise before you eat anything in the morning. Kbop, why is it that you burn more calories before you eat anything in the morning?

Thank you very much. This morning I had a bowl of cheerios which MFP said was only 100 calories. Yay!

Chuffmn! Those are some great tips! Thank you. I do eat Smart start which is high in fiber but also in calories. Any cereal recomendations?

My portion sizes are good. For instance, I have less than a cup of milk to go with my cereal because the cereal bowl is not big enough to hold anymore. Maybe, I am overestimating the calories that I am consuming. But I am using the calorie counter on myfitnesspal. It seems as if I got the majority of my calories from the…

Hey guys! I have a question for you... I feel like I am eating a lot healthier, however my calorie count is still higher than 1200. What should I do? My meals tend to look like this cereal with chopped bananas or egg beaters and fruit for breakfast nutrigran bar for snack sandwhich or salad for lunch chicken, veggies and…

Hey there, I joined this site saying the same thing as you. I live in the dorms at Chico State University and didn't think that it was possible to eat healthy in a dining hall. But in reality, it is all about willpower (at least it was for me). It is very likely that your college offers a salad or sandwich bar which offers…

Well I put in walking at 3.0mph for just 60 minutes and it told me I burned like 300 calories, which was more than I thought I could have burned at work. That's what I was confused. Marjaso, I am going to buy a pedometer! Thanks

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had a good idea of how many calories I am burning at work. I spend the whole day on my feet taking orders and then walking back and forth between the cooks and the counter. If I do that for 3 hours straight, how many calories do you think I burn? By the end of the day, it feels that…

That is my absolute favorite exercise class. It never fails to make my legs and arms ache the next day. :smile:

I have been doing great with working out on a daily basis, however, I am struggling with changing my eating habits. No matter how much I exercise, I struggle with weight gain because of my unhealthy eating habits. I am constantly going to the pantry to find a snack even when I am not hungry. Not to mention all of the…

I am going to a Mexican restaurant for my friends birthday in about 30 minutes and am not quite sure what to order that would be the best low-calorie option. Can anyone help me? Thanks guys! Kristina

I am in college and struggling with the same weight gain problem... However, with the right support and motivation we can do it! Add me as a friend... : ] Kristina Also, because I live in the dorms, I do not have a scale to weigh myself. Is that a bad thing? Or should I not know what my weight is all the time. I feel that…

Those are some great ideas! Thank you... And yes we have a freezer with our fridge. I wish a skillet was allowed in the dorms, but they do not allow anything like that due to the fire hazard. : [ Thanks for the advice guys

I am a freshman at Chico State and live in the dorms. I have a fridge and a microwave to make my own healthy food, unless I want to eat at the buffet for all three courses in the day. Does anyone know of any recipes that require only those two things? I know it is hard to make a healthy meal with just a mircowave, but if…

Thanks guys! That helped a lot! Thankfully, I do not drink any of my calories since I only drink water. My trouble seems to be with all that delicious food that is waiting for me when I go down to the cafeteria to eat. : [

I am struggling with not gaining the freshman 15. With a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, how can someone not gain all that weight. Unfortunately, I have already managed to gain 5 pounds. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks, Kristina
