(it's modified from the original recipe --> you can refer to http://cookpad.com/recipe/1066655. it's in Japanese though!) 1. wash chicken breast, stick with fork several times. marinade it in ~1 tsp of ground/smashed garlic and ginger for ~30 min in frige.

I am glad to know I am not the only one with that feeling! =) I just need to find a way to deal with it, I guess. My weight seems to go up and down, up and down and I realize I can't be too excited every time I lose a bit of weight. =( Yes, I am trying that breakfast = biggest meal of the day... and I do feel better when I…

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I will try bringing carrots to work then =) I am a grad student who works at a research lab. I dont think I am particularly more active than people with other jobs, but I tend to run around doing multiple things without sitting down for hours when doing experiments... I do get to sit down…

I used to keep a food diary on my own a while back, and I know that I used to eat around ~1600 kcal/day. From that to 1200 kcal/day is a big change for me apparently, and my body continues to remind me that I am hungry... :( I am a bit confused by the question, because when I am really hungry, I want to eat.

Thanks for your advice! About that cheese burger ...

Same goes for the cup noodle... I ate a cup soup with 30 kcal and…

I'll start with swapping my carb food with whole grain stuff and try others that you suggested! Thanks =)

Thanks for the suggestion, I could start from swapping half and half with skim milk. Olive Garden is an italian restaurant here in the U.S., it happens to be my friends' favorite restaurant and ended up eating an entree with ~800 kcal in total. I freaked out when I saw the number. I agree with too much processed food. I…

My friend brought them from Jamaica, and I decided to have them for dinner... probably not a great idea, but they are actually quite filling. Thanks for your advice, it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, I am amazed how fast you guys replied! Sadly, I don't think I would like eating shredded paper... ;) but it seems like exercising to increase my calorie limit and choosing food wisely are my top choices. What types of carbs are low calorie yet filling? I would think brown rice, but…

I changed my settings to public, and it's quite embarrassing to reveal what i've been eating but I am open to suggestions! Thanks =)
