i like to just get a whole roasted chicken from the grocery store. either to eat that night with whatever sides i make or to shred up and store in the fridge for salads/sandwiches/other dishes later.

i'm a HUGE fan of lemon pepper chicken. lots of easy recipes on the net for that.

i do a super easy and quick chili-- 1 packet reduced sodium McCormick chili seasoning 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey-- browned 1 medium sized chopped onion 1 can diced tomatoes, no salt added 1 can kidney beans sprinkle with some reduced fat mild cheddar cheese if you like. super easy and delicious. i realize its in…

call me old fashioned, i'm a big fan of sandwiches. sara lee 45 calorie per slice multi grain sandwich bread, piled high with turkey or chicken or whatever meat i've got in the fridge at home, a slice of cheese, tomato, veg, avocado, whatever i'm feeling up to that day. i'll usually pair it with almonds or a protein bar,…

satiety comes from adequate fat and protein. if your diet is mainly comprised of carbohydates (especially simple carbs), your glucose rollercoaster will increase hunger. focus on good fats and protein, and eat carbs that are fibrous. the remaining of your cals, let them fall as they may, but your primary dietary goal…

p.s... i've eaten a whole avocado hundreds of times.

if you're not going over your calories, then why wouldn't it be? EXCELLENT source of good fat and nutrients.

if its a situation where you'd have two titles (uncle AND dad, in this case) then i'd say NO.

i don't eat anything i don't like... whatever nutritional benefits i may get from something i don't enjoy eating, there's a perfectly fine substitute for it in something that i do enjoy eating. example: i don't like beets. beets are gross. beets are high in potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins A, B & C,…

yup. focus on adequate protein and good fat, let the remaining cals (which will be from carbs) fall as they may, but i'd recommend still trying to keep them from quality sources. and the weights thing.. yes. also, if you're not familiar with the barre method, i am a HUGE fan. you should see some the women in the classes i…

no agreement necessary, there's a scientific reason. but thanks, i guess. :/

a pound of muscle = a pound of fat a square inch of muscle > a square inch of fat

wow, very interesting. that would be a terrible disorder to have. i would like to point out though that undereating is not the only way to become malnurished. you can be of normal weight or overweight or even very over weight and still be malnurished.

alcohol is actually an appetite suppressant.

a small handful of dark chocolate kisses. *snicker* :)

i give up. i'm not going to waste my time on an idiot.

so, you're basically saying that eating healthier food is a load of sh-t. wow. what planet are you from?

i was unaware that harvesting something made it "processed".

wow, you're really angsty, aren't you?

read my second sentence.

its a choice, not a requirement. do i feel better when i eat cleaner? yes. do i have more energy when i cleaner? yes. do i lose weight easier when i eat cleaner? yes. can i not eat clean and still lose weight? yes.

basically stay away from processed foods, and "fake foods". or, in other words, cook your own meals, using fresh produce/meats/ect. and folks... don't go and say "well olive oil and dairy is processed, har har har". yes, its *techinically* processed, but saying that is just being a smart *kitten*, and you know it.

wow. uhm, no.

meh. my brain doesn't function when i don't eat enough. and i need my brain to make a living. so that's where the argument ends for me.

i melt from the top down.

i hate hearing "muscle weighs more than fat". a pound of muscle = a pound of fat. she has not gained INCHES/THREE POUNDS of muscle in ONE WEEK. she's retaining water.

uhm, it sounds like there's a much deeper issue here. what exactly the issue is, that needs to be figured out. but this is about more than just beds.

i agree with this. you both are ADULTS, not kids any more. you have every right to (and you SHOULD) seperate yourself from her until she's ready and able to not be a toxic presence in your life. i have a brother that i've had to do this to. trust me, its for the better for both of you.

oh dear Lord. i was expecting 10 years off that number. i hate it when everything has to be a pissing contest with someone. and trust me, i know. i'm the oldest of 5, my husband is one of 4, my mom is the youngest of 5, i have know that sigblings can be very competitive. just let her dig her own grave and don't let it…

may i ask... how old is your sister?
