Talk to a nutritionist or doctor - no one on this site (or very few, anyway) is an actual expert. Everyone has *opinions*, but no one has your exact stats/health history/exercise plan. MFP is a great jumping off point, but there are so many "facts" on this site that are really just opinions/what has worked for an…

Sun Warrior - I am crazy about it. Low in calories, high in protein. Mixes great with water or unsweeteend almond milk.

I am not a nutritionist, but I would cut out the sneaky sugar (look at the label!) and refined carbs (like the pasta salads) and add more veggies. Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? It's a great replacement for pasta. When I started adding extra veggies, and more whole grain fiber to my diet I noticed a great spike in…

I think the amount of calories burned on MFP is a huge over-estimate, so I would be careful eating those calories back. I stick to about 1300 calories a day, even with exercise, and have been seeing consistent results. My trainer advised me not to eat back the exercise calories, but if I was truly hungry (not just thirsty…

Zoe's Kitchen Cookies - they are SO delicious, and I was so sad not to have one, but I feel great now. Going to go for a congratulatory run. ;)
