  • 1/2 scoop vanilla pure protein 1 tbsp vanilla sugar free jello 1/4 cup frozen blueberries 1/2 frozen banana add water just to the top of the fruit and blend No need for ice.... this comes out like a milkshake! I added 1tsp sugar in the raw syrup (20 calories) and some ground flax seed (15) calories Total was 188 calories.
  • Since the simple math is "burn more calories than you consume" then don't eat if you're not hungry. Just don't go more than 4 hours without eating a few hundred calories.
  • I was just gifted a set purchased on amazon There are 3: 10lbs 15lbs and 20lbs. There are TONS of video's on youtube I feel stronger already!

Add almonds beans or boiled eggs to…

  • greek yogurt milk (regular and chocolate) salad fixins (greens and veggies)
  • One scoop pure protein, vanilla (a little clumpy but not bad) Any milk I have on hand one frozen banana (to make me think its a milk shake) and occasionally peanut butter or cinnamon or cocoa powder (about 250 calories)

  • Any of the Kashi cereal's are good on top. I usually do 1/4-1/2 cup kashi's original go lean cereal thanks for the ideas!
  • Sounds like your oven got way too hot or you cooked them too long.

  • I think the question is... How much time are you spending logging? If you use your phone, then are you on the phone constantly logging stuff? He's got a right to be upset if you phone is in your face when he's trying to spend time with you. If you're on the computer, it's the same thing too. If it's taking time away from…

  • Eating 4-6 times a day is not a bad thing dude! I eat 5-6; 200-300 calorie meals and on that alone dropped 20lbs. Eating this way keeps my metabolism UP and I dropped the weight with almost no exercise. Just because something worked for you, doesn't mean it will work for me. I can't eat three larger meals a day and lose…
