I use a mayo by Hellman's that has 15 calories. Walden Farms makes a zero calorie mayo. Fat free cream cheese is fun in place of mayo, and it has calcium. I have also heard of plain Greek yogurt used as mayo. Changing away from full fat mayo is a great way to save a ton of calories.

That sounds delicious. Wish there was a TJ near here.

I think you want sashimi

Even diabetics needs at least 130 g of carbs a day. I like the Atkins hazelnut chocolate bar, and that is where it stops. . . I just keep it between the MFP recommendations. Nothing weird, and you'll get there. I hate restrictions!!!!

I have a glass of wine every night. This is progress for me because I have spent three years working at a vineyard, and put on alot of weight with the fringe benefits.

You could probably fit a beer in the large compartment, a bunch of hershey's kisses in one, and some apple slices in the last one. From one teacher to another, I know what teachers need. LOL

Great progress !!!!

I love the kind that you will find in my diary this morning. It's only 50 calories a slice and it's whole grain, which is what you want to look for. Men can eat two slices 100 calories a slice bread and still lose weight though. Just look for whole grain! Whole wheat is not as good as whole grain. I love Monastery Whole…

Open the diary . . . we need data

You will need a mandolin to slice it lengthwise and the right thickness, I loooooove mine and use it every day for making salad, a good one can be a little expensive. If you can, go to williams sonoma.

Have fun shoe shopping. You may need new pairs much more often now! Don't be surprised if you wear them out after two months. You deserve it!!!!

If you are willing to open your diary, send me a friend request.

A good friend will tell it like it is. So do just that, make a nice suggestion. If you lose the friend, find some new ones.

In which chapter in my A&P textbook will I find this information? Because I certainly did not find any information in my A&P Course 1 or my class on Basic Nutrition I just finished taking.

The sheer amount of questions on here are a reaffirmation of my decision to go into the nutrition field. People do really have so many questions and there is so much need for help and advice! Don't be afraid to seek out your own nutritionist. Many of them use this tool to watch their patient's diaries, so keep loggin'…

I agree. Dizziness can be caused by many problems. I have suffered from it and can tell you that one time or another, it was caused by low vitamin D, low blood pressure, or ear fluid, but usually one of the first two. If you are losing weight and watching your sodium, and not taking your blood pressure, and taking blood…

half of a baseball (not those giant softballs) is a half cup; a good serving size for a lady for rice, mashed potatoes, polenta, grits. a deck of cards - portion of chicken, meat. I weigh alot of things on a scale. . . It really helps because when I know exactly how many calories I am getting, I will see that I can add…

fill out your profile, post on the boards, open your diary, and friends will see you out.

Ladies can limit rice to half a cup and still enjoy it.

Two more tips: Use yogurt in place of sour cream, saves many calories and gives that tang; Greek yogurt has the same consistency as sour cream. Marketside salsas from Walmart are low in sodium, if you don't have time to make your own !!!! They have several flavors and are found in their produce section. Corn tortillas are…

Japanese-American Rice 1/2 cup leftover cooked rice or other dinner grain 1 raw egg 1 oz cheese 2 tablespoons salsa verde Take to work in a container, nuke 1 minute. Stir and eat.

I think that your calorie intake may be a little high for weight loss. It may help you bulk up and build muscle, but not so sure it will make you lose weight. I would try to get your net down to about 2000. Try to do it gradually if it makes you too hungry to get there at first. Also, try to eat more evenly distributed…

Eat those soups and when they are gone, start making your own from scratch.

Patience . . . . your body has alot to get used to before it lets go. You're doing everything right. It WILL happen. Eat more fruits and veggies at your meals and it will help the hunger. Water anytime you feel hungry too. Hungry for a new life? I am. Sometimes I enjoy being a little hungry. But usually I eat something.…

1/2 cup beans and a chicken hot dog with 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce

I was thinking the same thing, weight lifting, might help other people who are not satisfied with their body. It's hard not to like muscle !!!

Try Smart Balance light butter, shift those saved calories over to more protein distributed more evenly to prevent the hungries. Get five fruits and veggies. Too many potatoes in one serving. 1/2 cup of starch is usually about right for a lady. But if you're an athlete, 1 cup, but that was over a cup of potatoes, which…

Just as long as it is not the bad fats like Saturated or Trans Fats. The Unsaturated ones are good for you.
