As long as you consider it a "diet", you will never sustain it long term. You need to make small changes that you can and want to sustain over time, not as a fad to yield quick results to your current dilemma. Look at the foods you like to eat right now and healthily them, and make them into smaller portions. If you like…

I mix it with some fat free mayo, dill relish, mozzarella cheese, mustard, and a hard boiled egg chopped up and then either put it all in a hollowed out tomato or eat it with 34 degree brand crackers

Right now I'm having brown rice and chicken mixed with fajita seasoning. Made it all in a big crockpot and made 9 servings from over 3lb of chicken. I just stored it in portions and microwave when ready. Before that I did turkey sandwiches. I've done turkey meatloaf before (pretty good, btw). Next week I'm doing turkey…

Just take a lasagna recipe and sub ground turkey for beef and noodles for thin slices of zucchini. And sub half the ricotta for cottage cheese. Don't notice the difference at all-I swore by that for a long while till I tried out other dishes. I haven't had it in a while but I still keep it in my recipe book

To make it like peanut butter on its own add enough water to get the consistency you like, add a little bit of stevia, and a little salt. I used to make it all the time to eat with my apples and celery. I threw a tbsp or so in with my chocolate whey for my protein shakes-made it taste just like Reese's cups. You can pretty…

Optimum nutrition. Blends the best, tastes the best, just about the best prices stuff anywhere: 70 cents per scoop with 24g protein and 120 cals per scoop. Lots of flavors, all natural ingredients, highly recommend.

6 oz chicken breast filled with 15g ham and 30g goat cheese with a side of 200g asparagus with 7g light butter.

I make chicken nuggets with reduced sugar ketchup for lunch. 8 oz chicken breast sliced to ideal size, rolled in 8g oat flour, pan fried with Pam and eat with 2 tbsp ketchup. I also eat 200g of fresh green beans on the side that I steam and slightly salt. Filling and low carb, about 340 calories I think

Even when you're trying to gain, you still have to eat good foods or you won't gain in the way you hope. I say this from experience of helping my boyfriend gain-he has a fast metabolism, but eating whatever crap he can get his hands on doesn't help him gain any weight. What HAS helped him is to eat lots of lean proteins…

Yeah. Don't eat them. You could eat so much more food for the same amount of calories and will fill you up more and cost less.

You would have to search online, but as long as you aren't eating crappy fast food every day and you don't have some type of deficiency that you were born with, vitamins and minerals shouldn't be a problem for you, you will not be deficient.

Cutting by 400 calories is too much. When cutting you should aim to do so by no greater than 250 calories. If you cut by that much you don't just lose fat, you lose a significant amount of muscle as well which is partially why your workout is suffering so much. It is a slow process to cut, one you can't cheat if you want…

You can't drink too much water without truly intending to do so-your body won't let you so don't even worry about that as a possibility. It will weigh you down but don't focus so much on weight-you need water, go by how you look or measure yourself by inches instead. The more salt you intake the more water you should drink…

I like tea, although I sweeten it with truvia, but it's a nice way to fill yourself up if you're hungry but it's not time for your next meal, plus I find it great to warm up when it's cold. I like tazo chai and passion teas. I love ON whey protein powder for my protein shakes; tastes the best, blends te best, although I…

2 small apples 4 tbsp pb2 mixed with water with celery sticks Dannon light & fit Greek yogurt (80 cal) 1/2 cantaloupe 2 mozzarella cheese sticks or laughing cow wheels 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese 1 hard boiled egg (60 cal for medium, 70 for large) 400 g strawberries ish 1 can green beans (70 cals) The list is endless.…

This sounds lie something that is taken out of context and is therefore dependent on what the conversation or the situation is about. If you are overweight or obese, you shouldn't eat back those exercise calories because it will only hurt your goals to lose weight. So then it would make sense for a dietician to tell their…

I have a polar ft7 an it is wonderful. You input your age, sex, height, and weight, so it can accurately track your calorie burns by the percentage of your heart rate (percentage of your max which is calculated by age). I use it every day. I've had it for a year and only had to change the battery on the band and watch…

A couple things: push ups are definitely tweaky on people's wrists-I recommend using one of your pairs of dumbbells as push up bars. It will alleviate some of the tension put on your wrists and also allow you to do deeper push-ups. The general rule for weight lifting is to aim for 10-12 reps. If you can push out more, ou…

I always eat before. I perform much better hen I do. I always eat a light & fit Greek yogurt cup before I head out, to give my body some protein and carbs as fuel so my muscles will be ready to go with when I start my weight session. I also have half of my protein shake literally right before I start-1 cup cold coffee, 1…

A good general rule is to aim for 10-12 reps. If you can push out more than that then increase the weight. This has worked really well for me.

What I do every night is I make 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats mixed with a couple ounces of blueberry Greek yogurt, 1/2 a small apple diced, and 1/4 cup almond milk or water and some cinnamon and I mix it up and cover it with foil and leave it overnight for breakfast the following morning. Tasty, no hassle, good for you,…

Mine is public. I change up some of my meals from week to week.

You're getting worked up over nothing ;) fiber is what we call the cellulose we get from plants/plant foods that we eat, that we cannot break down because we just don't have the right enzymes. So when we eat it, it passes through our system unharmed, undigested, and contributes to our health by making it easier for us to…

ALWAYS go by grams if you can; my only exception is to use oz for meats, and I only use measuring cups for liquids like milk because it is a measure of volume while grams is a measure of weight/mass. So for example you use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to measure out your oatmeal, you will find that instead of measuring out the…

This is my dinner right now: 1 bag lettuce mix (20 cals) 4 oz diced chicken (110 cals) 3 tbsp lite Caesar dressing (105 cals) 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese fat free (45 cals) 2 tbsp Caesar croutons (60 cals) Total: 340 cals Before I have done Greek yogurt chicken by putting a blended mix of mozzarella cheese and plain Greek…

Go to bodybuilding.com and look up optimum nutrition 100% whey protein isolate. Comes in a ton of flavors, best bran out there. Tastes great, mixes really well with just about anything you can think of. 24g protein, 120 cals, just about no fat, 4g carbs I think. The site gives you the nutrition label to look at of every…

These are the foods I use that have the highest amounts of protein possible, in order: Whey protein isolate powder (1 scoop = 24g protein, pretty much <1g carbs and fats, 120 cals) Dannon light & fit Greek yogurts (12g protein, 7g carbs, no fat, 80 cals for any flavor) Fat free cottage cheese (13g protein per 1/2 cup, very…

I can relate to your situation, being a pre-nursing college student. As far as sandwiches go, I have done the turkey as you are doing, as well as used extra lean sliced roast beef instead of the turkey-only 10 extra calories per 2 oz serving compared to turkey, still lots of protein, different flavor. Right now I'm having…

It definitely depends. For instance my parents cook a lot of fatty food and I never know the nutritional or caloric values of any of it, so I just buy my own food and eat that instead when I'm home from college. If someone offers me food that I don't know the values of, I either decline, or if I take it I have a really…

Use ground turkey for anything you used to use ground beef for. Otherwise you can use chicken either chicken breasts, thighs, etc, or ground also. Pork chops-although they're a fattier type of meat as well compared to chicken and turkey
