  • I usually broil it with fajita seasoning (sodium, I know, but I love it) and then eat it in a caesar salad, caesar wraps, or fajitas, depending on how many calories I can use.
  • yeah i've read the in place of a roadmap post, that's how I ended up doing this, haha. I just had a difficult time deciding whether I should be light or moderate since my exercise is pretty low but I also probably walk more than the average person because I live in the city. I'm going to go with the suggestion to eat back…
  • That's a really good idea, thanks
  • Congrats! That must be great to hear!
  • Couldn't find it either but you can probably email them and ask to at least know for the future?
  • Haha no, I don't mind the comments, I just feel bad when I see people being like "I always try to get my MFP friends to eat more vegetables and they won't :( :( :(" so I didn't want to set anyone up for disappointment. I am trying to fit them in that way, and i do actually like some vegetables, like carrots, sometimes…
  • I eat a chocolate Clif Builder's Bar as my breakfast. It has its weaknesses (particularly the calories), but it satisfies my desire to eat chocolate, it's something I can easily take with me, and it has 20g of protein so it keeps me full for a long time.
  • People probably think you're trolling. Your goal is 1200. Your net should also be 1200. This means that if you eat 1500 calories you should be burning 300 through exercise.

  • A deficit of 300 from my TDEE (1827)? Cool. I guess I'm just paranoid about starting to gain again, but I suppose if that happens I can just adjust down again. Thanks everyone! PS: 1500 calories sounds amazing, haha, which is somewhat sad.
  • I think the difference is that you're looking at it from a "lifestyle change" point of view in the sense that you (apparently) want to get healthier. While that's obviously the better way to go about it, some people care less about being healthy (at least at this point in their life) than they do about being thin. So she's…
  • Omg yeah after a night of drinking all I want is salt and bread. I could eat like 4 bagels consecutively. That's really interesting about allergies. I remember reading about that when I (briefly) cut out gluten after a doctor suggested it might help this breathing problem I have.
  • Yeah definitely a boredom snacker. I have a hard time cause I'm in law school where you're basically supposed to spend 10 hours a day at least doing school stuff (worst idea ever), so it's hard to do what I did in undergrad to distract me from eating (shopping, friends, etc.). Now I'm just reading, studying, etc. which…
  • I was just thinking about almond milk today with regard to my addiction (more or less) to milk. I theoretically only buy milk to use in smoothies and then I end up drinking it plain. I was considering buying almond milk so that I wouldn't be tempted to drink it but I was worried it would make the smoothie taste gross, so…
  • As for what kind of hunger it is, I think it's occasionally physical (in class and I don't eat all day) but mostly emotional/comfort eating (about to start a really stressful exam period). I also am more or less at my goal weight (it would be nice to lose 2 more lbs but I'm happy with how I look) which makes it easy to be…
  • thanks so much for all this advice! I agree that raw nuts are less tempting so I should probably switch to those. Really like the idea of the veggie straws as well. I'm 100% a salt/crunch craver. I SHOULD buy those fruit on the bottom yogurt things and will probably eventually cave and do so. I'm a student right now and am…
