I have my macros set at 40/25/35 (C/P/F) and it is my opinion after three years that this is the best combination for my fitness... I burn about 500 - 600 cals per workout / six days a week (usually at lunchtime) it truly matters when you eat your most carbs....eat more in the morning and gradually less through out the…

Chunky soups make the fest filling meals because they are so saturated with texture and liquid.... even in hot weather time, try to use them. dry foods like sandwiches always make you eat more than you should because they do not have as much weight per calorie

I had a heart attack over 2 years ago... if your…

Depends on the cut of chicken...the USDA.gov site is the best location to get the most accurate calorie amount... I created a food item that is USDA accurate for water soaked chicken breasts (to remove the salt brine). Just type in "soaked"... in your food item search and you will see the calories... if you don't…

Don;t feel so bad.... I had to go through security at the airport and drink the whole expensive airport water bottle before they would let me go through security... when I looked down to put it in the trash.... I saw a full jar of peanut butter in the trash... they force us to waste so much food... but I guess that's…

If you exercise a lot, 90/60 is not bad... especialy if it is not constantly that figure at rest... I have ben told that by a cardiac nurse...I have some background on that subject. Feel free to ook at my profile...

I am really enjoying the topic you brought up here and I am in the same boat as you..... my wife eats junk and wont change... I'll just have to have patience like you and find a way to entice her... without the nagging..... regarding the no-name dude that says your husban is a marine and he can do anything he pleases....…

As everyone is saying... Diet is first and foremost. It is 90% of the work required to get a flat stomach. Reduce your sugar intake. Cardio and varied styles of crunches will help you do the finishing touches. But start with cardio and always do the elliptical and swimming (if possible). Rarely eat sugars or fruits after 6…

Two of my meals( one is a potatoe based hummus & the other is a sesame flour thickened stew) are in batches (I make about 8 servings of each) and put them into microwavable containers in the fridge. The important thing about them is that each one is fortified with vegetables (spinach- can't taste it in the mix), legumes…

I'd choose chocolate mint and especially snicker doodles (love 'em!). I would pay $5 (maybe more depending on the size of the cookie and regular shipping prices. I definitely would buy from someone that makes low fat cookies (that taste good) & especially one that's dedicated to MFP... Wish you luck in developing your…

Simply put.... we are what we eat... I have proven it myself. scales often lie. That's why I use a fabric tape measure every day first thing in the morning instead of scales. Do that yourself. measure your hips and waist every day and be your own guinea pig and at your own risk look at the results graph... you will notice…

LOL....my abs, too .... a 6 pack is starting to form, but it will definitly take another 12 weeks for them to be obvious rather than 4 or 6 lumpy ice cream scoops :o) ... I'm really enjoying the P90x core and abs exercises because I feel that I have finally got the nack of them without struggling on the reps... It's…

MFP and P90X are the perfect match... I have had MFP on my iphone for several months...it's the best....type in USDA with your entries and if it finds an item with USDA it is usually more accurate in nutrition...especially for potassium and vitamins

I'm a full beliver in walking rather than running or even better than jogging. Your knees will last longer and you burn calories nearly as fast if you "work it" good luck

I finally started having cheat days ... It was hard because I've been so good after having a heart attack last April 2010... I've lost 60 lbs... but I'm not a "ghost"... I can "touch" the naughty food once in a while.. : )
-
I understand... I've lost 60 lbs and I ask my wife not to buy things that sabotage my good eating habits but she wants nothing to do with eating healthy. In time, I imagine she will change. I hope so, but its hard ... that's why I might as well be in this forum with like-minded people (I don't care no matter what stage you…

Ha Ha! That is a problem we all want to have.... except you will never catch this Texan in a dress or even kilt! lol. Thanks for sharing the funny experience.
