I tend to disagree. Protein bars keep me full for hours. I eat them before the gym, after the gym. Before I run out to do erands for the next few hrs. I use the shake also, esp after working out. It helps you recover faster, and I tend to notice the differnce. After a long work out and I am completly dead and muscles are…

I use Muscle Tech protein bars. I never used them before. These actually taste good and the price is around 12.00 for a box of 18. They have 3 flavors in the box. 200cal. 20g of protein. I use to eat a PB sandwich in the middle of the day and it was around 300cal. Not any more. I eat one of these and drink a big glass of…

Having friends on here is awesome!! They give ya support when you are down or having a bad bay!!! Reading what your fiends do for work outs or what they eat can help you out also!!! I am sending you a request now!!! Keep on working!!

Thanks for all the knd words and support! Just what I needed to read, been a struggle the past few days! BUT....I'm still going though.....

It just feels great to work hard an see the results!!! Made my day better and my walk longer!!

Thank you!! I actually work out with my phone. I am either walking, or at the gym I have my phone because I too and listening to music. I will have to check this out. Does it work with all phones; I have a Samsung? Do this work with Mapmyfitness app?

She is not a morning person at all, and when she does not make her lunch, she goes to the cafe. Not saying she eats 3 steak and cheese, but at least I know she is eating good!! LOL. I made the "Chia Seed Pudding" with 1.5cups milk, 1/3 cup chia seeds and 1tbsp of vanilla and some shaved almonds. Put it in a cup and mix it…

Cappachino Ice cream popsicle.....YUP!!!. Less than 150cal I believe....

So I am going to try this. Oatmeal. 150 Almond Milk, 60 Egg Whites. 25 Blueberries.45

You only eat 120cal for lunch and dinner? WOW.....

I try to use meat markets as much as I can, my wife got this from Shaws I think. We buy it, package it, then freeze it. Trying to see what it is alone, so I can add my own seasoning. Add it to my recipes.

Before seasoning. I tend to add my own spices...so many options and results on here. Gets confussing.

I love it also! I have used to make chicken salad instead of mayo, I make a quac that I spreed on salmon burgers, and the quac of course...i eat it with sea salt, lime and pepper for a snack. Cut it up and use it on my turkey burgers, spread for a grilled ckn sandwhich. I could find something to make with it 7 days a…

Honestly, I am looking at it from the other side now....do I need that little for that much Cal, but IDK.....could be mental at this point...

I have to be honest, I find breads one of the harder things to decide on....I could stand ther for an hr looking at breads....

LOL...she said it was basicaly white bread with seeds thrown on it.....

Lots of options...love the ideas!! I cut it back to day to see how I feel in the monring. Got just oatmeal, blueberries and Coconut Oil....see how that goes and how I feel when it's time to walk!! I have seen this egg whites in Oatmeal and willing to give that a shot also...How does one go about preparing it? Also a big…

I do a lot or research on things we eat, she just does not believe me all the time.

She was refered by her PCP. My wife tends to not know what to eat, she struggles with finding good food she likes. SO she thought this lady would help her out..not so much I guess.

I honestly cannot tell you the last time I had sauce....I try to stay away from it, or make sure it has no HFCS in it. I make my pasta with 1 bag of the Trader Joes pasta. Cut up chicken tenders, zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms. Add some small amount of butter to the pasta with some EVO, and a drained can of Tomatoes…

I agree, I told her not to go back. I did not agree with what she was saying.

I have been hearing a lot about the spaghetti squash and other. I actualy saw Sweet Potato pasta the other day. As for lasagna, I make a zucchini one and eggplant.

I did the math today. If I eat Oatmeal, Blueberries and Coconut Oil, that put me @312. Cutting out the honey and raisins. I used the honey to fight allergies, but I also use honey in my Apple Cider Vinegrr drink. SO I don't need both servings.

Not to bed right away. I eat the Oatmeal around 5am, get home around 630am and walk. Get home arounf 730ish, make my wifes lunch, then do my choirs. I tend to hit the sack around 1030ish. Get up around 530, start dinner.

Ya it makes it much better. Coconut Oil can increase your energy, helping you burn more fat, which is why I like in the morning before my walk, I actually feel stronger...IDK, its weird... I also read it can reduce your hunger.

I was never a big breakfast person, but I am now. i just operate better and feel better through out the day. I will see how it goes. Right now I am doing good with my numbers, I prod could keep the oatmeal they way it is.

Something else the just poped in my head. She said avacado was nothing more than butter, Ill have to ask what exactly she said.......SMH.....:huh:

They have me at a little over 2400. I weight 325 now....There are times I need to snack, esp when I work out. Just thinking I can spread those Cal around.

I agree with all of you. I was totaly shocked at what she said. I almost told her to find a new one, but I bit my tongue. I was just amazed at what she came back with....I agree on the trail mix, but I tend to avoid the one with candy in it. I want to go next time to see what else she has to say.

This right here!!!! I will add to his...stairs and more stairs. That is where they get people. Like he said, find out what your test looks like first. I know where I live, we were alloewed to do a practice test to see what we needed passing on. I actually used the stair master at the end of my gym time till I was completly…
