  • I snack on veggies (cucumber, jicama, carrots, broccoli), string cheese, blueberries, bananas...generally try to keep my snacks under 100 calories, but if I go over, I adjust for the rest of the day

  • I don't really follow an exact regime...it all depends on what I feel like doing. The only thing that is consistent is the aqua aerobics/jogging class I take twice a week, which if you've never tried it, I recommend it. It's low impact, but it works your body without the sweat! I'd take it easy if you're starting to injure…

  • Skotidakis Jalepeno (greek) Yogurt Dip (from Costco)...Mmmmm, it's my favorite for dipping veggies or putting on my sandwiches. No sugar, low fat and did I mention it's addictive!?

  • Cheap protein...I've haven't come across one that tasted good. How cheap are you talking? I use is MRM 100% Whey protein (Dutch Chocolate) and I really enjoy the taste. For 2 lbs it ranges from $25-40 depending on where you buy it from (plus tax and/or shipping) http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mrm/pumped.html

  • I suggest MRM 100% Whey protein, no iron in it and the Dutch Chocolate is tasty :smile: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mrm/pumped.html As far as vitamins go...there are multi vitamins that don't contain any iron in them. I take Source of Life with Iron, but I know they make a multi without Iron as well. Hope this helps!

  • Pretty much what everyone else has said: "Everything in moderation!" I was challenged to only eat 15g of processed sugar a day (really hard on some days :grumble: ), with the exception that I can eat unlimited fruit and vegetables...but I still like to keep my fruit levels low, generally 1-2 pieces of fruit a day and…

  • I weigh in/take measurements once a week (Thurs to be specific), that way I don't have to worry about the weekends, in case I decide to have a cheat day :smile:

  • The trainers at the gym I go to have a device which tells me, but I found this calculator, which seemed pretty accurate to what the gym's scale told me :) http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/body-fat-percentage-calculator
    in how to measure body fat? Comment by day_dreamr24 March 2012
  • I find it a little odd too...the goal is to burn the calories consumed. I usually don't replenish what I burn and stay within my caloric intake regardless of what's burned. Cause you're technically supposed to burn 3500 calories/1 pound of fat. So if you're replenishing it...you're being counterproductive what you just…
