This isn't traditional. My understanding is it's an East/West creation circa WW2. Effectively, this is street food type sandwich. For me though, I eat it for breakfast since 3/2020. My version is as follows: 1/2 sheet Nori 1/2 cup rice 1 slice Spam (a can gives 9 slices) 1 scrambled egg a small amount of black sesame seeds…

Generally speaking, I have an Okinawan rice ball most mornings (~10am).

Never heard of her.

When I was in nursing school, there seemed to be only 2 types of students. Those that lost weight and those that packed it on. I was in the packed it on group. Most people have already hit on the big ideas that frankly are some of the best. 1. Meal prep. While in school, brown bag your meal. While on clinical, pack a…

I make leftovers for the week. I found out people call that meal prepping. Okay then. On Sunday, I make two things and switch off eating those items everyday. The following Sunday, I make two completely different dishes than the week prior. I have a recipe rotation that lasts about 2 months. Also, on a personal note, I…

Oyakodon. Chicken, egg, and onion in a soy, mirin, and dashi sauce served over rice. Mine is non-traditional, because I add mushrooms. Seriously considering a few pieces of broccoli next time.

2 lbs fresh green beans. 1 lb ham steak (cubed) w/ bone thrown in pot too. 1 large onion and 1 tub fresh mushrooms chopped according to preference. 1 small bag baby carrots (each carrot cut at least in 1/2). 1 bay leaf. 2 Tbsp minced garlic. 1/2 tbsp pepper. 1 cup water. Put on low and cook 6 hrs. Serve over 1/2 cup brown…

I've used several while in Japan. Also, I've squatted many times while camping. It made no difference for me. I had to go. I did my business. I left. Given the choice, I'd choose western style.

I've made this: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/07/three-cheese-zucchini-stuffed-lasagna.html It's freaking delicious. Also, it reheats for leftovers just beautifully.

I'm making this tomorrow for left overs through the week. 2 of my favorite comfort foods together. WIN! http://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes/skinny-pizza-meatloaf/ Your calorie count is tight but that doesn't mean you can't have a treat if it fits within your calorie count. I have a piece of dark chocolate w/ toffee every…

I'm on this medication; I'm on 150mg QD. I don't have depression. I do not smoke. I'm taking it for the side effects to help control anxiety. Frankly, it's working so-so in that department. I decided to stay on the medication as a preventative. About a month (3/15/15) into taking this medication my husband of 15 years…

http://www.extragum.com/flavors#/cinnamon-roll I chew that gum. The taste is legit. That sugar craving is a beast. This gum calms the beast just enough.

http://www.skinnytaste.com/2015/03/spiralized-mexican-sweet-potato-and.html I too am a college student at this time and the budget is tight. I made this on Saturday and have been eating the leftovers all week. You don't need a spiralizer. I just shredded the sweet potato. I didn't get that special pepper. I used a boiled…

20 carbs and 1100 calories? That seems terribly low. I'm going to assume your Doctor gave you this limitation. Did you have WLS? Well, one of my low carb go-to is a tuna salad w/ pumpkin seeds served in a green pepper. The way I make it is 227 calories and 11 carbs. That's over 1/2 your allotment so idk if that will work…

The ice maker. I can live without it but I'd rather not.

I'm going to agree with Faithful_Chosen. A square of Dove dark chocolate is my preference. I freeze mine. Don't chew it. Just let it dissolve in your mouth. The longer you get to enjoy that one piece the more satisfied you'll be so you won't over indulge. If something is completely off limits and it's not due to a medical…

It's important to find a method that works best for your body and for your work habits. I too enjoy a protein shake to keep things on the move. I use yogurt and fruit in mine to make an actual meal of it. When I worked 12 hr shifts I generally didn't eat a meal at work. No time. One crisis to the next. So I packed a few…

I consider my weekly calorie allotment of 10,500 and work from there. One day will be high, one day will be low. Generally it works out.

Any change in your normal activities puts stress on the body. Stress can cause your period to arrive early or even show up late. Dropping from 3000+ to 1390 calories per day is big change. Not the calories themselves but perhaps your mental stress of such a big change. Also, changes in physical activities can do this as…

LPN here. I'm off the floor now but when I was still working I was also on 12 hr shifts. Like Elphie I took a lunch box with me and packed it with protein dense food that I could shovel in my mouth in a few minutes. I've managed to chew down a protein bar on more than one occasion in the supply closet while gathering…

To the best of my understanding carb cycling is best suited for people who are "closer to their fitness goals for definition and cutting". The only people I know who do this are fitness models. While the concept of carb cycling seems simple I have found it not to be. It's too complex in actual practice for me to follow…

I'm a firm believer in food prep for the week. Otherwise known as leftovers. Something quick is rinsed canned tuna or chicken on salad if the tubs of leftovers in the fridge aren't singing to you.

I use Biox Whey Isolate. I have vanilla and chocolate in the house. I tried the banana strawberry and that was nasty. My husband likes the peanut butter chocolate but I could take it or leave it.

A protein powder drink will help you supplement your protein intake to meet your nutritional needs. It will not make you lose weight nor will it put weight on you. Having a calorie deficit will make you lose weight. Going over your caloric needs will make you gain weight. I drink a protein drink after heavy lifting. I also…

One of my favorite go to recipes is crock pot mexican chicken. (serves 6) 6 4oz chicken breasts, 1 onion, 8 oz mushrooms, 1 large jar chunky salsa, garlic, 1 can rinsed black beans, 1 can rinsed corn. Put that in crock pot on low for 6 hours. If you're careful you can serve chicken breasts whole but I like it shredded…

Somewhere between 150 - 170. I have pictures of me at 140 (years ago) and I was too slender for my build.

Lite mayo, yellow mustard, pepper, garlic powder, dill weed. Served with 2 lightly salted rice cakes, a low sodium V8, and a piece of fruit (usually a cutie)

Made these this morning. Fantastic. Topped off with 2 tablespoons Jiff whipped peanut butter and chocolate. NOM NOM NOM! <3

To the best of my knowledge cutting 3500 calories from your week = 1 pound of weight loss. So, as long as you stay in a deficit you would continue to lose weight. Now, that being said you may want to take a look at your choices. Just because you go to a party doesn't mean you need to lose your mind and ditch your goals.…
