Bush's Boston Baked Beans. To go with the pulled pork that was in the preceding bite. Yummmm

I take: - a generic women's formula multivitamin - 600mg calcium - recommended by Dr to go with vit D, below, and to aid in bone health, obv. - 400mg vitamin D (in addition to the 400mg in the multivitamin for a total of 800mg/day) - prescribed by Dr due to low iron levels on consecutive tests - 27mg (I think - it's a…

[Deleted post because I don't want to have to come back here looking for replies. All the nested quotes make my eyes hurt.] But to answer your question, I just prefer to eat my calories rather than drink them. Mmmm chocolate lava cake for dessert tonight is going to be AWESOME.

@cheripugh1: Southwest Pork Chops per serving (1 serving = 1 boneless chop): 207 calories, 2 carbs, 8 fat, 1 sat fat, 32 protein, 426 sodium (This is using 5oz (raw weight) boneless pork chops and extra spices) Creamy Garlic Shells per serving (1 serving = 125g or approx 1 cup): 192 calories, 31 carbs, 4 fat, 1 sat fat, 7…

I find that my meatloaf turns out better when I make muffin-sized meatloafs instead of large loaf-sized meatloafs. I typically use this recipe and switch out anywhere from 1/2 to all of the ground beef for turkey: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/meatloaf-muffins-with-barbecue-sauce-recipe.html I also love…

Check out www.rippedrecipes.com - I don't think they have an app but their website looks and works fine on my phone. You can search by any macro (calories, fat, protein, carbs, etc.) and a ton of other criteria. Love it! They also have a meal planner feature where you can enter your calorie/macro goals for the entire day…

OMG not to derail this post, but I did that too, only with a medium mint hot chocolate. Walking back to the office with a coworker after an offsite meeting, we decided to stop for hot chocolate because it was freezing. I was 3/4 through mine when I logged it. I finished drinking it because I had already gone that far (lol)…

ALL of these! Especially when I weigh/measure sweets (like my semi-regular mini chocolate chips in a shot glass hahaha) and my bf goes "oooh, gimme some!" - I tell him to go get his own because I "paid" for all of the ones I already logged. And no, I can't get estimate how much you took and get some more!!

From another of her posts: Please, please, please see a professional. http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/find-help-support

Robert Downey Jr, hands down. :love: Even though he's literally twice my age.. :blushing:

I think you have your answer right here, OP. Forgive him, enjoy your evening on "the wrong day", and move on.

Thank you. Found him: http://www.ddpyoga.com/arthur.html ETA: not trying to promote the site or anything. I really just saw his video on facebook and thought his transformation was amazing. On with your day :)

omg there's a potbelly right across the street from my work and I have successfully avoided going in for a cookie for like the past month. Now I'll have to stop in for a double chocolate brownie cookie (or whatever they're called). They're delicious. Ahhhh seriously.

My profession - actuary - as an adjective >> Actuarial + My favorite hobby - cooking - as a noun >> Chef = ActuarialChef

...except her recipe doesn't use BBQ sauce. OP, if you're going to copy a recipe word-for-word from another site, 1 - copy it exactly and 2 - LINK UP!!! For anyone who is interested: http://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/03/chicken-yakisoba/ Thank you thank you thank youuuu for getting that peoples' recipes ARE copyrighted! Why…

Bookmarking for later! Thanks!!

Holy moley, woman! I'd be so miserable if I ate what you did! Just looking at your lunches for the past few days... 2 oz chicken on a salad is next to NOTHING. At least eat 3-4 oz. 1/2 a container of tuna fish? Who only eats half the tin? Add that whole thing onto your salad! You won't regret having more healthy protein! 2…

http://www.budgetbytes.com/2010/05/hummus-four-flavors/ I love all 4 of these recipes. And although it definitely takes forever and is tedious, I've found the only way to get super-creamy hummus is to peel the canned chickpeas. Tip: sit down in front of the tv with your chickpeas and 2 empty bowls - pop the shells into one…

omgosh I'm so glad I'm not the only one totally sore after the 1st workout. I seriously am having difficulty going down the steps my hamstrings hurt so bad haha. Taking a rest day today, definitely! Hopefully I don't also have to rest tomorrow - don't want to use up both rest days of the week so early! :) My plan right now…

Just created the group and added both of you to it. For anyone else who finds this thread and wants to join us, here's the link to the group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/19450-ripped-in-30-february-2014

That doesn't automatically mean that returns are not allowed. Most sellers will accept returns if it is in the same condition you bought it in. Might be worth an email to find out, instead of paying eBay seller fees to re-sell it yourself.

That looks SO GOOD. Must. make. monkey-ball-cake. for. weekend.

Wooo! Go you!! I had 2 earlier in the week. your willpower >>> my willpower.

Just a reminder - we start in 2 days!!!! I've set it up so that there are 3 levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced - so there's something for everyone!

Ooooh you have the one with built in nutrition?? Do you use it? Do you like it? Just realized you said you don't use it. Haha oops. OP - I have this one in Chrome: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007GAWRS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works great, it's simple and easy to figure out. ETA: I just checked and I…

Lately I've been noticing more and more restaurants with "skinny" menus, or something similar. Usually the menu item has 500-600 calories, compared to upwards of 800-1000 for their other menu items. I usually don't gravitate towards these items (I go for an entree salad with chicken, steak, or shrimp, plenty of fruit…

I figure, if I make something that I am going to eat the entire dish of (or half of it), the estimate you get by dividing all ingredients into number of servings is perfectly fine. i.e. if I make a stir fry of 8 oz meat and 8 oz veggies (plus sauce) and divide it into 4 servings, I may not get 2 oz meat and 2 oz veggies in…

:drinker: This.

This is where you're wrong. The *weight* of the jar does not change during shipping. Take something like corn flakes cereal. If a manufacturer weighs 500g into a box, seals it, and ships it, then when it gets to you *it will still be 500g*. HOWEVER, it may have been crushed or condensed during shipping, resulting in more…

I love google.
