My favorite Starbucks drink is a large iced coffee, 2 sweet n lows (EVIL SUGAR SUBSTITUTE!) and about an ounce of half and half. Easy on the calories and satisfying. :) Next time they offer you something you could scream, flip their tray full of samples on to the floor, and run out of the building erratically... In that…

Folded omelet with salt and pepper to taste, goat cheese in the middle, and chives sprinkled on top of the goat cheese and top of omelet. Delicious.

Sounds great! I don't think I've ever tried adobe sauce, I'll have to get it on my next shopping trip :)

I defrost first by putting the shrimp in cool water in the fridge overnight or even running water over it until it's defrosted. Sorry forgot to say that! Also, instead of the seasonig above, there is a cajun seasoning I bought at the store that tastes great with the shrimp. It's pretty high in sodium so I doubt with that…

I use frozen shrimp much of the time, but I'm sure fresh is better.. However make sure it's peeled and de-veined then I wash them and pat them dry with a paper towel and place them in a bowl. Spray them with cooking spray. A little salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Heat a pan on medium-to-high heat,…

I cut carrots in to chunks, put them in a baking pan with some pam, add light salt, salt substitute, black pepper, garlic powder, and some cayenne pepper, cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes, remove the foil and cook for 10 minutes longer. The sweetness of the roasted carrots goes well with the cayenne. You…

A quick, filling side for a meal if you have a toaster oven or broiler handy... Cut a large tomato (or two) in to wedges. I like to keep the "meat" and dredge out the soft seedy part because I'm not a fan of it. Sprinkle with salt/salt substitute (I do a combo), black pepper, garlic powder. Sprinkle a 1/4 cup of shaved…

Brocolli Casserole 2lbs (or so) of fresh or frozen brocolli 1 large can of cream of mushroom soup (3 cups total) 2 large onions 2-3 tbs of low sodium soy sauce (I add less soy and include a potassium salt substitute, 'No-Salt') Pepper Set oven to 350. Cut onions in half then slice them in to thin strips, saute them with…

Should have read ALL the other comments before replying :)

Do you sleep during the day? If you're working regular overnights it may be helpful to change up your idea of when a "meal" should occur. When I did overnights I would go to sleep after getting off, wake up and usually do lunch because I didn't like breakfast at the time, then dinner, then a meal when I was working the…

I think fruit juice can be worse than coffee because of the sugar content. A lot of fruit juices have added sugar. I believe, though I could be wrong, that even 100% fruit juice will be handled like table sugar in the body because it doesn't have the protection of fiber like in its original form. Someone correct me if I'm…

Try a Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bar, topped with 1 tbsp of smuckers sugar free hot fudge and microwave for about 35 seconds. Has a great, decadent taste. You can do this with the fiber one brownies as well.

I put salt and pepper on them, sometimes cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, or a combo. I heat a pan on medium for 5 minutes, spray with pam, and cook them for about a minute and a half on each side, looking to get a bit of a crust. They cook pretty quickly and will be pink throughout. This is large shrimp, not jumbo.…

Is there scientific evidence that you need both arms? Probably. Other than that it seems like the US could collectively lose some of our ego. That fills fat cells quick. I saw it on Dr. Oz so you know it's the truth.

Okay I needed to see that you could use fruit sugars :) I assume then that milk sugar will work too. Make the family size sugar free vanilla pudding - as a pie mix (directions on the box) with either fat free milk or no-sugar added vanilla almond milk. (almond milk is only good for a day or two when making puddings I've…

I'm liking some of the ideas on here... My go-to breakfast lately has been: Egg, Goat Cheese & Chive omelet 2 eggs (Could substitute 3 or 4 egg whites if you'd like) Little bit of sea salt Fresh ground black pepper Make an omlet using non-stick spray or olive oil. I usually cover the pan when I add the eggs to help cook…

Check out the nutrition info on the website. The 9 grain wheat has 5g of sugar, 4g of fiber, and 40carbs for a 6". The Honey Oat has 9g of sugar, 48g of carbs, and 5g of fiber for the same. If you need the bread then I would go with the 9 grain wheat. The fiber content is the highest on the menu other than the oat and…

The below website is Joseph's Pita. They operate out of Massachusetts and their "Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread" is amazing. They are 60 calories a piece, have 8g of carbs and 4g of fiber, no sugar. I have not tried any of their other products so can't speak to their taste, but the Flax, Oat Bran, & whole wheat is…

1 egg (can use two) 2 tbls of reduced fat or fat free shredded kraft cheddar cheese 1 jalapeno, diced (I remove the seeds and (is it veins?) to reduce the heat) 1 vine-ripened tomato 3 to 4 teaspoons of tabasco sauce Use cooking spray to coat a pan on medium to high heat, add jalapenos. Cut tomato in to thick slices,…

Take tofu shirataki noodles (I get them at Whole Foods, and use the whole bag... only 40 calories :)) I baked them on a pan lined with tinfoil and sprayed with olive oil cooking spray at 350 for 10 minutes topped with no-salt sodium substitute, crushed black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, cayenne pepper.…

So I stole this recipe from this famous chili recipe website and eliminated some ingredients to cut down fat and sodium (with the exception of the hot sauce...) Veggies I cut are green and red bell peppers, 6 oz of beer, and worcestire sauce (mainly because I didn't have it). You can do the original here…

Shirataki with Tofu Noodles you mean? Not sure if there's a difference as I'm not familiar with tofu noodles. I've had the shirataki noodles with tofu and their consistency is a little strange (chewy, almost like muscles) but they fit in with the flavors around them and fill you up. I've heard if you bake them for a few…

I made this awesome pudding the other night by accident. (I thought I was using vanilla pudding but had lemon and white chocolate insteady) Get 1 package of sugar free Lemon Jell-O pudding and 1 package of sugar free White Chocolate pudding (Not the big ones, regular size ones), unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2…
