The link for the recipe is at the bottom of the first post...but here it is again? http://cookiemonstersanonymous.blogspot.com/2012/05/healthier-banana-bread-something.html

Very easy to do without the wacky things I did to it...It doesn't have to be vegan-except-for-whey-protein... If you're allergic to apples, use two eggs in lieu of the applesauce. If you don't have protein powder hanging around, double the amount of the flour you use. If you're not like me and you don't have oat flour…

I'm a Very High Control Freak Eater, but I could have told you that ;) I'm very low, low, or moderately low on everything else.

I'm legitimately obsessed with quiche. This was so much my favorite so far that I felt the urge to pinpoint all the awesome within it. 187 calories / 10g carbs / 8g fat / 20g protein / 3g fiber / 2g sugar

I eat a high protein / low(er) carb diet and incorporate running, weights, and a ridiculous amount of walking a couple days a week in my exercise routine. I doubt it's 100% related to the food but my body fat % has dropped substantially as has my weight and my metabolism is more or less super charged, it seems. I also used…

seitan, mushrooms, edamame, lox ...protein shakes.

I make a basic quiche with different extras every week. My standard base is: 2 eggs, 3 egg whites, 1 cup of either fat free, 1% or soy milk, and 3 oz or so of a shredded gruyere/swiss blend or 3 tablespoons of goat cheese. The extras I have added are seitan (fake meat), spinach, mushrooms, goat cheese, roasted red peppers,…

I do a Siggi's icelandic style yogurt (it's more or less incredible, try it) and a protein shake. Together it's 240 calories and 39g of protein. The last couple days, however, I've been jazzing it up (I'm ever so daring) with a tsp of jam and - most recently - half of a mini chocolate cheesecake. It's all of 294 calories…

I'm a hair under 5'3 and I'm currently at my goal, I think. I'm 108 when I wake up and according to various websites, my BF% is somewhere around 14-16%. Maintaining is my next challenge...

I'm close enough. almost 5'3 SW: 120ish CW: 108ish GW: maintaing 108 - no more losing!

I have an open diary and I seem to be doing well number-wise. Although it may not be crazy helpful since a lot of the things are my own recipes. But the snacks are good ;) I too am fascinated by other people's food diaries haha.

Granted you are a guy and significantly bigger than I am, but I think my vegetarian diet gives me a significant amount of protein on not-too-many carbs. I get more than a gram of protein per lb of my bodyweight on daily basis and manage to keep my carbs to 130 or under (slightly more this last weekend for holidays and such…

I applaud you for counting alcohol. I decided early on that made drinking/nights out very not fun for me soooo no I turn a blind eye :)

I have a hard time trusting carbs so it took me awhile to find a post workout snack that didn't scare me. I decided to make my workout snack a special Chocolate Espresso Oatmeal Cookie Peanut Butter Sandwich recipe that is insanely good and not bad for you either :) You can see it / read it / bake it from here:…

Yep. This has helped the overeating so very much for me too.

I do this, up to 3 or 4 days in advance. I do it because it's fun, it takes the anxiety out of how I'm going to eat my calories, and I make sure to leave enough left over calories to not worry myself with unscheduled treats. That being said, I also make my food for the week ahead of time so it really is truly easy. It…

Having the exact same problem. Met my goal, love running, appetite has totally shrunk, my outlook on food has shrunk, changed to maintenance, and I'm still losing. I'm also a vegetarian who does a 1-meal-a-week fish something. It is so hard to maintain once your body changes! (the moral of this story is that I have no…

The first step is diet and exercise. I imagine logging your daily food intake will be an eye opening experience that will help you figure out why you aren't currently losing weight.

It seems like a lot, but it's the Truvia conversion for a cup of sugar. It would seem like less if I measured it out in anything other than single packets, I'm sure! You can't taste any funky trace of stevia in the finished muffins, however, so no worries there.

You're making me and my vegan cookie sandwiches blush! I'm about to test their post-run prowess. I think it may go deliciously.

But my point is...my body fat is at 16.6%...and I'm a woman. I have a super high LBM...

That's what I would assume too. Which is why I find my results of that little test kinda puzzling. But as you pointed out with yours, it is only about a 30 calorie difference. I guess I'll survive!

That post is all sorts of wacky. I wasn't far off on what I thought my bf% was, but apparently it means I have to go 8 years older to get the same bmr needs. Which seems...odd. Right? Do older people have naturally lesser bf%?

Hmm. Let me elaborate maybe. Gym machines do not give accurate calories-burned read outs, as we've all sooner or later discovered. They know our weight (as long as we enter it) so we know it's not just weight alone that affects calories burned during exercise. And we know that people with lower body fat % burn more…

Men's Health's "Eat This, Not That" guide is super helpful if you really can't keep yourself away from unhealthy restaurants/fast food places. You can get a lot of the ever-growing guide online, or a big old book of it.

5'3, 111ish, in between 25 and 26 in jeans, usually 0 in everything else. A few years ago I was a muscular 130 and a 28 in jeans/size 6 at that time.

Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Caramel bars are just about amazing. I eat the smaller ones (20g protein-ers) as a snack almost daily.

I'm sure it's already been said to some degree in here, but you are eating an excessive amount of carbs and insanely little protein. MFP already puts your carb goal high and your protein goal very low so to be over on the carbs and under the protein (a lot of days you seem waaaay under on the protein) isn't going to help…

Replace the egg mcmuffin and the frozen lunch with similar foods you can make yourself...fresh things. The sodium will most likely be significantly lower.

Congrats!! I've started to get more and more interested in running - your tips are definitely appreciated!
