Too much soy (especially the processed kind in milk and even tofu) can be bad for your thyroid levels, making you tired & dizzy, giving you headaches, and also affecting your ability to gain or lose weight, although as another poster said. I'm not sure how much you have to consume before these bad effects happen but there…

I also drink green tea plain but I also enjoy earl grey milky and sweetened the way you do. After running into the same situation, I now make it myself so I know exactly how many calories are in it (plus then I can make it as sweet or not sweet as I want).

Honestly it depends on the college, but mine had tofu in the salad bar and even cooked tofu dishes on rotation. The soup station always had at least 1 vegetarian option.

A piece of whole grain bread with egg? a plain…

I understand your concern, but I say go for the 10K. You already know you can run that distance regardless, so racing it after all the…

Woohoo! Nice job =)

I get cravings all the time. Sometimes they are easy to curb with say a couple glasses of water or hot tea (something to take my mind off the food itself while satisfying that "I want to eat something!!!" response). Most times though, that doesn't do the trick and I know myself better than just trying to commit to…
