oh durable goods like freezer bags, sandwhich bags, aluminum foil, glad press and seal or a cling wrap, and different sizes of those glad/ziplock(store brands are cheaper and just as good) "toss away" containers. great for leftovers that you can take for lunch. if you clean them well, they last a while, and can recycle as…

proteins- chicken(thighs are usually cheaper than breast, just as healthy and i think tastier) beef cuts, pork, fish. even if single, it's good to buy in bulk(family sizes) and take home, separate out into heavy duty freezer bags portions that you can use. freeze. grains- brown rice, pasta(whole wheat if you like), breads.…

according to the food health and safety class I took at the county health department, it's not the mayo you need to be wary of causing bacterial growth. Its the other things- chopped veggies, meats etc. Cross contamination is more of a problem than mayo itself. It too has vinegar which is a natural bacteriostatic(ie…

skinnytaste.com. I use it a lot. many times i follow recipe exactly, lots of time i'm using it as more of an 'inspiration'. another thing you can do is take the recipes you know and lighten them up. add in more veg to a casserole, take out some of the pasta or rice. One of my favorites is chicken santa fe.…

skinnytaste.com so many chicken recipes. SOOO many! and not all are boneless skinless breast recipes which can get so so boring!

i recommend skinnytaste.com santa fe chicken, chicken ropa, and sweet barbacoa pork. all I think are slow cooker(at least that's how I make em!)

I thought it was really pretty good. My knee joints really are bad- so lots of squats and lunges just don't do it for me. with Piyo it was a lot easier to modify them. I did a 60 day plan, and lost good amount of weight(i think it was 15 lbs) and more importantly my body composition was changing(core was getting stronger,…

i'd add zucchini. I spiralize it and use it in place of pasta. very filling, healthy and fewer calories. I also put taco meat on it make taco "boats". Fresh leafy greens like bib/green/red leaf lettuce, romaine, kale, spinach. watermelon, strawberries. condiments like spicy mustard and olive oil based mayo(half the cals…

this recipe calls for chicken thighs- i use legs all the time.. works just as well. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/06/broiled-or-grilled-pollo-sabroso.html I add some spiced rum or tequila to the marinade as well as some fresh lemon or lime juice. I've made it exactly as recipe calls for and its still the bomb and my 11…

skinnytaste.com. tons of recipes. all easy to adjust for varying tastes/likes/dislikes.

Skinnytaste pollo sabroso. The only thing I do differently than double the recipe(cuz my fam devours these!) is add some spiced rum or tequila to the marinade as well as fresh lime or lemon juice. it rocks. I also use thighs for just about any recipe that calls for breast meat.

whenever I put a recipe into MFP, I put in what I used- so mostly the raw weights. the few times i don't is for soups where I add in already cooked/shredded chicken breast, Then I use cooked weights. Same for chili- I add in cooked weights of lean ground beef or turkey. but for casseroles, it's mainly raw weights that I…

I had to give up fake sweeteners cold turkey a few years back. they were reacting very poorly with a new medication, causing EXTREME dry mouth and throat. VERY EXTREME. I gave up all fake sweeteners - diet sodas, crystal light, anything with splenda(sucralose) Nutrasweet, asparatame, xylose, etc. When I did that, I found…

if you have hypoglycemia like that, you should be under the care of a physician and/or endocrinologist. ask them. my guess is that you are NOT a candidate for a fasting program like that.

if you can pack cool things- keep cold at work then you can have salads as well- with things like grilled chicken or steak on them.

skinnytaste.com lots of great chicken recipes. I just made grilled pollo sabroso. FABULOUS! chicken santa fe, chicken ropa veja are all easy to do and yummy.

Not sure if this is best way to do it- I cook whole chicken(or bone in pieces) in water to make broth. pull out meat, toss skin and bones. shred meat. weigh it. record it. chill broth, defat it. measure it, record it. record any veggies you add. figure out how many servings you want to make from the batch. recipe builder…

my iphone gets testy sometimes. Sometimes turning it off and on again gives the MFP a reboot that it needs. other times it's in my fitbit flex and sticking it into the charger cable and pressing the restart "button"(that tiny hole in the back of the charge cable) fixes the fit bit. sometimes I have to do both. when on…

skinnytaste.com has lots of great recipes that aren't blah. Some need adjusting to your personal taste preference- usually I add more of the spices and seasoning than called for. most are easy as well- grilled stuff, slow cooker stuff.

do you have access to a fridge and a microwave? I agree with the 100days of real food site. some interesting ideas. I'm personally a huge fan of leftovers. I make yummy healthy dinners(most of the time!). I have a fridge most days to use to keep things cold and safe until reheating. On days I don't I have an insulated sack…

My youngest daughter has ulcerative colitis. I have symptoms of IBS, but it's really hormonally driven(worse at AF), and undiagonsed. My daughter started having problems at 3 yrs old. We worked with doctors for a year trying to manage the symptoms, finally had a colonoscopy when she was 4 and that's when they diagnosed the…

Grilled pork loin chops are easy as well. grilled steak. when my hub does his super low-carb thing, I make up a ton of grilled meats and brown up lean ground beef and…

never tried vanilla. I'm on my last bag of strawberry. I'd add a bunch of different frozen berries/fruit.

Chicken Santa Fe, sweet barbacoa pork, Carne Bistec, chicken ropa veja all from skinnytaste.com I make a bunch. Freeze most, save some for lunches that week. I rarely eat out at lunch anymore. To eat during the same week I love pollo sabrosa, banging good shrimp, asian glazed drumsticks, and chicken thighs in marinara…

I bulk buy lean meats- chicken cuts, pork chops/loins, beef steaks and roasts(ok- not so lean but I love a good roast). For the boneless stuff, I put them in vacuum sealer freezer bags, and either put on a yummy rub or marinade(italian, asian/teriyaki, latin inspired), vacuum it up and seal. freeze. when I need a meal for…

I usually have a whole wheat english muffin with all natural ham or turkey, extra thin slice of all natural swiss chees, and an egg. homemade mcmuffin basically. keeps me going…
