  • I think it depends on the individual's body. I tried the low carb thing back when in high school when I was playing rugby. As it turns out with out enough complex carbs I end up a starving, shaky mess. And when I'm a starving shaky mess? No amount of nuts or lean protein seems to fix it. Give me a bowl of oatmeal or a nice…

  • I am so sorry =( I understand where you are coming from. I lost my Dad to substance abuse because he couldn't get clean. Years and years later (14 to be exact), I now understand that my Dad suffered an addiction, and while he tried, it got the best of him, and he did love me. It was a hard road though. -hugs- for you...…

  • So are peas, tomatoes, yellow beans, squash, and anything else containing a seed which we call a vegetable =) The only true vegetables are things that we eat the leaves and stalks of... I think though whether it's a fruit/vegetable/tuber/fungus, the OP is just looking for "non-green things we might call a vegetable"

  • It depends on what you do all day =) When I was working a physical job 60 hours a week I ate roughly 3000 calories a day at 4`11. I was 110 lbs then. However, I ate the same for oh.... 5 months after starting my desk job and gained just shy of 50 lbs lol. I'm sure you'll find the balance!

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cheesesteak......... I for one only like "cooked cheese" ie: melted. Being on the road totally sucks.

  • Try adding more diversity to your diet... that is a lot of subs and grapefruit! Think nuts, other fresh fruits, whole grain crackers with cheese. You can also try adding extras to your oatmeal. I usually add various types of dried fruits, diced apple, flax, high fibre bran etc; to mine. I'd also look at adding more…

  • Hey good on you for getting out to clean the horse stalls! I do agree with the others around here though - be careful about logging that sort of work. I look after 17 horses and teach lessons regularly, but I don't log those calories. The reason I don't log them is because it's stop and go work, not consistent. Ie: You're…
