I usually do a tbsp of peanut butter or almonds.
-
I wouldn't bother tracking them.
-
I was mainly meaning for overall health, not just to lose weight. Full fat, grass fed cheese would be healthier vs lowfat. Okay, carry on.....lol

I'd have to say junk. If it doesn't add nutritional value I'd believe it safe to call it empty calories & junk. But I'm also called a weirdo for how I eat most of the time. Lol
-
Nope. 50% of my calories come from fat (primal) & I get more saturated fat than that (usually 30-60g/day) & am beyond healthy. But I also get my fat sources from coconut oil, grass-fed dairy & meats & pastured eggs (NOT the cage free, all vegetarian diet eggs that companies like to pretend are best for you) which is very…

Oh...and add some good veggies in there if you go with real pasta! Or even if you don't.....:)

Heavy weight lifting. No need to do anything in between days so your muscles can recover. Or try yoga or Pilates in between. Lifting will transform your body!
-
I get A LOT of paleo & primal recipes from the Pinterest app! Just type it into the search.
-
Depending on how you wanna go with this.... Roast a spaghetti squash & use its "noodles" as the pasta. Or use a spiralizer & spiral a few zucchinis. Ditch the highly processed, sodium filled cans & make your own "cream of...." base. I've seen some online. Use a block of cheese. Cheese from 100% grass fed cows is always…

The saturated fat in coconut oil isn't bad for you. It's the canola & vegetable oils that are horrible. Coconut oil has A LOT of health benefits if you look into it, I promise!

The Weight Watchers was is my favorite but you have to be a member (or know someone who is who can get it for you). It's $40 but its the only one I've tried that has the best consistency & accuracy. And doesn't take expensive batteries! It's $40 but well worth it.
-
I agree with Dee. It may have zero calories but its horrible for your overall health. And fats are necessary in order for our bodies to be able to absorb fat soluble vitamins.

When I was losing & really trying to change my habits I carried snacks with me. Usually almonds & baby carrots. I'd carry my water bottle everywhere & eat before I went out if necessary. I didn't allow myself to give into temptation because I knew my willpower wasn't strong enough to just eat 1 cookie. So I avoided it. It…

Thank you for fixing it! :)

I started only about 5-6 weeks ago & am naturally athletic. I get a lot of comments on my arms. Stats: 5' tall, 116lbs Squat: 105lbs Deadlift: 95lbs Overhead press: 50lbs Leg press: 360lbs Row: 110lbs Lat Pull-down: 90lbs Hoping I remember how to post pics. I don't have a recent one in street clothes though.

I only know bodybuilders and such that burn like crazy. The more muscle you have the more calories burned. Lifting heavy weights burns more overall than cardio thanks to the afterburn. You stop burning calories through cardio soon after you stop the exercise. When you lift you can continue to burn 24-48 hrs after. 500…

I 2nd the sodium. I don't often pay attention to my sugar since most of it is from fruit & dairy. If you want to meet your macros I'd suggest eating more. Youre short like I am but you are often below 1100 calories, even 1000. Have you figured out your BMR or TDEE? I'm 5' & 110lbs and my BMR with 1-3hrs of light exercise a…

I never thought to "fry" tuna in a pan and then add cheese. Brilliant! I will be trying this, thanks!
-
Dashingdish.com makes something similar but with protein powder & some sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix. So good! Check out her site if you haven't already!
-
On a sandwich or with carrots.
-
Chia seeds you'd have to let them sit a while and get soft. Unless you like them hard I suppose.... I like pb (powdered pb works too), banana, cinnamon & raisins, jam, flavored protein powder, Kashi Go Lean, Cheerios... I usually do a mix of those types of ingredients.

I'm 5' tall, joined MFP in January, when my 2nd baby(delivered via repeat c-section) was 6 weeks, & have lost 65lbs (11lbs of it was pregnancy weight). Night before Indelivered: 211 Early March, 6 weeks into MFP: about 170 [img]http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m148/mpollak83/Weight Loss…
-
Pretty much anything with peanut butter.....with an apple, rice cake, Greek yogurt & granola, a banana, milk + vanilla protein powder.....a pb&j works too. I'm all over the pb.
-
I list it under "circuit training, general."
-
I'd change most of it. Lots of processed stuff. I don't care that it fits into your calorie intake, it doesn't mean it's good options for your body & overall health. You can easily lose weight without eating so much junk &'its generally cheaper too. Fruits & veggies. Less processed, more real whole foods. Healthy fats.…

Most of my sugar is natural sugar so I don't pay attention to it anymore. While I wouldn't eat an entire watermelon in one day I am more careful with my heavily processed sugar intake. Sodium has been easier for my to be under thanks to oatmeal. :)

I started January of this year, 6 weeks after I had my 2nd baby. I lost 65lbs & am currently maintaining & trying to tone. Before: Night before I had my 2nd baby via repeat c-section 12/11, 211lbs at 5' tall. Then 6 weeks into MFP, about 170 (started MFP at 175) [img]http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m148/mpollak83/Weight…

Here's my post from when I met my goal of 110lbs. 5' tall, 2 c-sections. Dropped 65lbs since January '12 after 2nd baby. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/740781-65lbs-gone-goal-met-5-frame-mom-of-2 Hope this helps! My exercise info is on the 3rd page I believe if you're interested.

Dried beans & brown rice bowl with salsa/avocado. Pb you can find low sodium. A chicken rotisserie isn't super low sodium but if the portion is right it would be fine. And they can be stretched out over a few meals. I buy ours for $5 at Costco. I'm no expert on this but could you take the bones to make your own chicken…
