My husband also likes the Pure Protein pictured above. The Robert Irvine bars are also really good, and Supreme Protein, but they're much higher in calories.

Dairy Shrimp Crab Egg whites (to bulk up eggs with less calories) Beans - although higher in carbs

If you want to lose fat, eat at a deficit. I would highly recommend lifting weights heavier than 30 Day Shred.

I was going to say black beans with avocado and salsa, but it seems you're avoiding carbs. If you like tofu, I'd see how that works as an egg substitute, as has been suggested. Or, how about a big helping of roasted veggies? Or something similar to what you'd eat for lunch.

If you're in the States and not on WIC, I urge you to see if you qualify and get on it if you do. It can get you milk, cheese, eggs, peanut butter and beans. I think it's expanded in recent years as well. That can help your grocery budget. Dried beans and rice as a base to put meat on, if you have it. You can batch cook a…

I'd definitely offer to help cook and bring a dish. I highly doubt mashed potatoes will be vegan, and you might check that she doesn't use butter or animal broth in the risotto. Maybe offer to make the risotto and some stuffing. Maybe make a bean salad to get adequate protein.

Roast some chick peas or kale with your favorite spicy seasonings. Make a spicy dip to have with crunchy veggies like carrots and celery. Air pop some popcorn and add some cayenne or red pepper flakes. Make a spicy hummus to spread on crackers. I know I've seen wasabi almonds in the store, there may be other spicy flavors…

You can't get her on the right track. If you try, if you say things, she may very well see it as nagging. You can invite her to take a walk with you or go to the gym, but other than that, it's on her. And, if she wants treats for her, well, that's up to her. It sucks and it's hard, but willpower has to come into play. You…

It's definitely going to come down to diet. Unless your really lifting significantly and eating at a caloric surplus, you probably haven't really gained muscle. Lift. Do cardio you like. Lock in your diet and go from there.

Weight fluctuates. It's been 6 days. Give it time. Also, make sure you're weighing all your food and not just guessing. That helps a ton.

Egg, sausage/bacon and veggie scramble. Fried eggs on top of sweet potato (if you'll eat those) or other veggies. Egg and cheese muffins/casserole. Stir fry with cauliflower fried rice.

I'd agree with pre portioning what you like. Buy the smallest boxes possible of one or two favorites and weigh them into baggies/containers. If you keep it airtight, it should last awhile.

Under cardio there's a strength training entry. It's minimal calories burned, really.

Toned is really just how much fat you have over the muscle, it's not really a thing you can do to muscles. Eat less calories than you burn. Do strength training to maintain muscle as you lose fat for the look you desire. Some great lower body exercises are squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts and lunges. As for cellulite, it's a…

Homemade egg "McMuffin": English muffin, egg/egg white and cheese. You can add cream cheese or butter and bacon or sausage Oatmeal with almond milk, egg white beat in, add honey, cream cheese, fruit, etc. Eggs/egg whites, sweet potatoes and meat Protein shake/smoothie

Nuts/seeds Boiled eggs Cheese Cottage cheese Full fat plain Greek yogurt Jerky (Maybe not high fat.) Bacon Sausage sticks Pepperoni Deli meat roll ups with mayo and cheese

You can use it in any recipe that calls for ground beef. I don't use it as much as I used to, I go for extra lean ground beef, but I used those it more often, mostly for burgers and tacos. You can also use it for chili, meatballs, stuffed peppers, etc.

Roast them as a side dish, whole, cut up or cut up with other veggies. Roast or boil then mash Add to soup or chili Fry some up and scramble with eggs Sweet potato casserole

Amazon Prime has an option where you can download the show to your iPad and watch it without using data, though you need to either turn your data off or make sure you're watching from your offline library. Same with music.

Workouts don't burn belly fat. Abdominal exercises will strengthen your core, but you cannot target fat loss. Continue to workout, all body parts, and eat at a deficit, and eventually you will lose fat around your middle. Planks are awesome core exercises. Also, doing compound lifts like bench, squat, deadlift, etc.…

Dairy, like milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. Nuts/seed, in moderation Eggs/egg whites Seafood

User error? Someone put the info in wrong or used a different version? There's often way more than one entry for an item.

I'd use the recipe builder. Put in the ingredients raw, then, once you're done weight everything, then divide by however many servings you pick and put that in the recipe. Then measure out a serving.

If you want higher energy, you might like Cassey Ho of POP Pilates/blogilates. She doesn't really do lifting, though she has body weight based/pilates strength stuff. She is sometimes a bit too upbeat for me.

I like Kelli and Daniel at Fitnessblender.com. They have some pretty good strength stuff if you're looking for videos, and not just a lifting program to follow. BeFit in 90 on the BeFit channel on YouTube had some good trainers, and I think they have other programs as well as the BeFit in 90, which had strength and cardio.

Bag of salad with some of the ready to eat chicken strips. Wraps or salad with lunch meat. Soup. Eggs and sausage.

For me, it's less about the time, for strength training, and more about the weights and reps. Also, you definitely need to get in a leg day, or make your strength full body. At least imho.

Yes, I log mine under the generic "strength training" entry in the cardio section. I don't know how accurate it is.

After two kids and weight gain and loss and gain and loss, etc., my boobs aren't at their perkiest. But, as previously stated, bench pressing helps.
