There's obviously no real way to know, but I remember when Trader Joes had "peanut flour," and I think the stats were similar to pb2. PB2 has added sugar though, so it's possible that it's more caloric than other brands?? I think you are pretty safe just logging it as PB2. You aren't going to be using all that much (I'm…

A volume eater, or a binge eater?

I'm not even going to comment on the debate that's going on here, because I know it'll just make me totally annoyed, but I have been on Lexapro, Prozac, Zoloft, and I'm currently on Wellbutrin. None of them have caused weight gain, but they have caused a decrease in anxiety, and a sense of apathy. Both of those things led…

Wow - I really and truly admire you, for NOT being defensive, and for being thoughtful about this instead. I know it is hard to hear that it could be entangled with your ED. I was a vegan for a while (vegetarian for 15 year, vegan for 5 of them), and I also am recovering from an ED. I think when i became a vegetarian, I…

Way back when I was first starting to count calories, I was shocked that a muffin from Dunkin donuts has 150 more calories, than a glazed donut. Neither of them are healthy choices, I realize, but I somehow thought the LOWFAT blueberry muffin might not be so bad.... Yeah, 410 calories. Awesome.

earth. Kind of like dirt. But if you jazz it up, you can make it taste like delicious dirt.

Me too... Exactly.

I found you! I don't know why it took me so long to find the group! I'm doing pretty well. I am challenging myself to eat intuitively this month, so I'm not tracking. I am binging WAY less when I let my hunger and body guide me, as opposed to letting the calories control what I eat. I've lost a pound so far, since starting…

You friended me, but how do I find the group?

I know several people who have had some type of bariatric surgery, and they all have said that their doctor recommends high protein, low carb diets, post surgery. I am wondering - is this because they think high protein, low carb is most effective for weight loss? Or is this because hp/lc is what will not cause patients GI…

Couldn't have said it better myself. You will have to be willing, and you will have to want it, if you are going to trust this person and follow the meal plan. By trying to "bargain" with the dietician, or trying to manipulate the plan, you will just be standing in your own way. It is up to you to decide whether or not you…

Well, those slices are huge... This doesn't surprise me at all, actually.

This is exactly how I feel. When I count calories and weigh and measure my food, I feel like I am giving all the power to the food, and I don't rely at all on my intuition... and I end up making myself crazy. I also feel like at this point, I know what I have to do. If I start gaining, I will reevauate whether or not this…

It seems like you consider yourself a victim. I am so sorry you feel that way. I just want to reassure you, that you are not powerless in this. You are powerFUL. You have the power to change your body and mind. We are here to support you through this. Keep coming back for support. You can turn this around.

My 2014 resolution is to stop counting calories, or to at least try it for a good chunk of time, and see how it works for me. I am very obsessive about it, and it messes with my mind. I have been meticulously counting calories for 15 year, nonstop, and I think it has become an issue for me, because I eat according to my…

I have pelvic floor dysfunction, so this is a chronic issue for me, too. My GI doc told me it was fine to take Milk of Magnesia every day. It works like a charm, for me. It's the only thing that works, in my situation. I know how uncomfortable it is! Hope you feel better!

Are we creating a group, or just posting to this thread? How's everyone doing, 2 days into 2014? I'm going strong, so far!

In another one of your posts, you said you are 5' 2.75". If you are 100 pounds, it will put your BMI at 17.9. I was under the impression that anything under 18.5, is considered underweight. I am not judging you. Just encouraging you to love your body, at a normal weight. Please accept my apologies, if it came out at harsh…
-
After reading your other posts, it seems you are trying to get to a weight, that puts you in an underweight category, for BMI. Why do you feel you need to be underweight?
-
I'm in!!
-
Yes. It does.
-
Wait - isn't 50 grams of carbs and 50 grams of protein only 400 calories? You are only eating 400 calories a day? Or are you eating lots of fat or something??
-
Well, it's one day, and it's unlikely to derail you in the longrun.... But if you already know you'll be eating that much, and you already feel guilty... then why are you doing it? No one is making you eat that many calories. Just eat the same thing, but eat a little less. I mean, it's fine if you want to eat it - not a…

steamed edamame (soybeans) - Meh. Not that into it, and try to avoid soy for hormonal reasons virgin coconut oil - I use it sometimes... commercial peanut butters - yum. Especially JIF. lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - sounds gross. whole kernel corn - mmmmmm farmed salmon - Not a fish person lowfat…

You are still undereating. You say you aren't getting anywhere, and I am assuming that means you are aiming to gain weight. In the past 5-6 days you barely hit 1000 calories each day. Having been in recovery (I had EDNOS, but it was like a combo of Anorexia and BED), in the past, my dietician put me on a 2500 calorie meal…

Each egg white is .25 cups. I believe 150ml is about 3.5 cups, so that would mean that there are about 14 egg whites in there. If you are drinking them, like in protein shakes, I would recommend using the ones in the carton, since they are typically pasteurized. I don't know much about that, though...

Just curious - do you worry about the mercury content, if you eat these daily? I love them too, but I get nervous. Even if it's light tuna, and not white, I think there is still a "limit" for consumption?? To answer the OP: Half a pb and j on whole wheat bread Cheese and crackers pb cracker sandwiches cheese stick and a…

This same thing happened to me, when I was 21. I was slightly underweight, and working out pretty hard, and I lost my period permanently. Now I'm 34 and still don't get a period unless it's medically induced (by birth control or progesterone supplementation). My doctor feels it's important that I get a fairly regular…

[/quote] "My main reason for trying to avoid sugar is that it causes binging for me. I have never binged on fruit or vegetables however so I feel pretty safe to eat those. I guess I'm not sure if it's the insulin spike that makes me want to eat a whole packet of cookies and then look for more, or if it's just the taste of…

I think it's a great, healthy option, for lunch, or when you don't want to cook dinner. We have it in the house at all times, just in case. If you have time, you can make a roast chicken yourself, and that way you'll actually know the nutritional content, but in my opinion, it's a pretty healthy choice!
