With almond milk. I sometimes drink coffee hot, so I will warm the almond milk slightly before adding the coffee, but most days I brew a strong pot and refrigerate in mason jars for iced coffee. Every morning I drink a large glass of water first, then have my iced coffee, almond milk and stevia, about 2/3 coffee and 1/3…

Strength training is in listed as an exercise in the cardiovascular database. Use that for the calories. The Strength Training box is just for you to keep track of what you did, reps, etc.

I don't see many vegetables there. If the caesar salad you have at lunch is just lettuce, add some other veggies. I have a huge salad every day with lots of veggies, a protein, and dressing I make from non-fat Greek yogurt and spice or salsa. I haven't been logging dinner very often, but I always have a huge serving (2…

Remember that if you want to stay healthy, you will never be "done". If you have been at a plateau for awhile, there can be many causes, and lots of little tweaks to try. Perhaps go on maintenance calories for a few months and be sure to eat back your exercise calories. Have you added strength training to your new way of…

Panda Express has several low-cal and veggies as the side, Carl's Jr. BBQ chicken sandwich is low, even more so if you get it lettuce wrapped, also the teriyaki turkey burger, again lower if lettuce-wrapped.

Congratulations! You answered your own question. In order not to lose that pound a week, add 3500 calories a week, in whatever manner works best for your health and lifestyle.

Also log how many minutes you do strength training in the cardio section of exercise, that will add calories to that day's allotment. The strength training box is just for keeping a record for yourself.

Looking at your food diary, I would suggest you change your food goal ratios to more protein, less carbs. Eat some protein at breakfast, the non-fat milk is just not enough. Perhaps throw some nuts into your cereal if that's what you have to eat (I would suggest healthier cereal). I know you are talking about today, but…

Thanks

It is so easy to make, and less than half the cost of the most expensive ones. Check out www.salad-in-a-jar.com

Different plans work for each person, but one thing is for sure, if what you are doing isn't working, change it. At least try having lots of smaller, NUTRITIOUS meals. Sometimes we take it for granted that everyone knows what a nutritious meal is, and on this website there are a wide range of opinions on the subject, but I…

Congratulations on the decision to get healthy. Do not think of this as a DIET that you have to stick to for X amount of months. If you truly want to stay healthy, it is a new way of eating for life. Find foods that you like and are nutrient-dense, but lower in calories. For example, I use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of…

I couldn't find a store near me, and it is pricey to ship, but I found partially-defatted peanut flour at Trader Joe's, and at least by the ingredient/nutrition listing, it is exactly the same. I love it, mix it in fat-free Greek yogurt and a little stevia to make a dip for apples or carrots. The PB2 website has lots of…

Good job joining MFP to help evaluate and be healthy. Eventually, because of your very low calorie intake, your weight loss will come to a screeching halt. Even more importantly, you cannot give your body the proper nutrition. I have a couple of suggestions. Add a lot more fruits and vegetables ( I consider corn a starch,…

I use it every day for iced coffee, about 1/4 to 1/3 unsweetened almond milk to 2/3 to 3/4 cold coffee, sweetened with stevia. I get my calcium and feel treated.

They are in the oven, certainly smell yummy.

Hummus or peanut butter (or almond butter) or cheese on whole wheat (pita, tortilla, Orowheat thin rounds, etc.) Add lettuce and tomato if appropriate for the type, and a piece of fruit on the side. Cottage cheese or Greek yogurt with fruit and walnuts. Salad with fat-free feta cheese and a piece of bread, toasted or…

If creamy dressings are your preference use fat-free Greek yogurt as a base, then add whatever low-fat addition. I have used fat-free feta cheese, no-salt seasoning, salsa, etc. I make several batches of Greek yogurt every week because it is a little pricey to buy, then you can use it instead of mayonnaise, sour cream,…

I have never been a fan of yogurt, but now I use non-fat Greek yogurt almost daily. It makes a good sour cream substitute, as the base for a salad dressing, (just add some seasoning like McCormick's Grill Mates for Vegetables), make a smoothie with frozen blueberries. Since I use it a lot, I learned to make my own from the…
