  • These aren't considered plant based but they are vegetarian/vegan. Someone following a plant based diet avoids processed foods, oils, most mock meats - tofu, tempeh and seitan are less processed and acceptable. I've been vegetarian for over 18 years, vegan for 3 and have never had an issue with protein. In fact, I get more…
    in Plant based - how do you get enough calories? Comment by jacdog88 January 2017
  • Hi, I don't use MFP much anymore as I no longer count calories but I sign in from time to time to read the message board. I've been a long time vegetarian, 3+ year vegan and newly transitioned to a completely plant based diet. I have fibromyalgia and have found that I feel physically much better without oils or processed…

  • Wow! Didn't expect to get so many responses so quickly. Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll weed through them all and see which ones might be best for my needs. I usually workout for 2-3 hours at a time so battery life is important.

  • You don't have to wait but if you don't, something you like might be unavailable. I measure it out and put it in snack bags so I know what I'm eating. The only downside is that you have to put them all in under "my food" because they aren't on the food list. Good luck!!
    in Nature box question Comment by jacdog88 February 2014
  • I stopped eating meat 14 years ago. I go back and forth between a vegan and vegetarian diet. I make most of my meals ahead of time so I can be sure they're balanced. I try to eat as plant based as possible but I struggle with protein so I use gardein "meat" products when needed. I'm not a fan or tempeh and I'm allergic to…

  • You are going to LOVE nature box!! I got 2 of the groupons and have one sent to work. It does take a while. They'll send you an email when it ships. I've found that some of the snacks are changed each month. What you previously ordered will stay in your box until you change it. I'd recommend waiting until you try it all to…

I go to the gym while they're at school or on play dates. When the weather is nice, we go on lots of walks, bike rides, park trips, etc. I also try to incorporate…

I'm not in school, or broke exactly, but I have a special needs dog who requires a lot of medical attention so I try to live below my means in order to have money saved up if he should have a problem.

  • I wonder if any kind of investigation was done or if, due to his health, they didn't "care". Her attitude was horrible. She wasn't fully to blame for his obesity, it sounded like it was a problem before they were married, but she clearly enabled him. News flash- he can barely move so even if he asks you for a certain kind…

  • This is such a sad story. Seeing as how he couldn't get out of bed, how did he get pills in the first place? If she saw him taking something, she could have easily stepped in and stopped it.

  • Try making your meals ahead of time and labeling calories, protein, carbs, etc so you can mix and match meals throughout the day. I'd be happy to be your pal :)
