hot or cold noodle with veg, herbs and protein. I love it with rice noodles, grilled tofu, shredded greens, mint leaves, jalapenos and roasted nuts.

Love this. I'd get the vegetable of the day or a side salad, hush puppies or fried okra, and a Bloody Mary.

Naturade Vegan Smart Vanilla when I'm buying, Vega when someone else is!

If you're netting more than 1400 and you're still hungry, I suggest cutting out refined flour and sugar, and adding beans and greens, whole grains and more protein to your diet. If you're netting less than 1400 cals and you're hungry, you might want to eat a little bit more. I can't see your diary, so it's hard to say.…

For lowcal meals, Fatfree Vegan Kitchen is my first stop. http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/recipe-index

It's not easy. One great trick is to work out, and eat more!

I am on week two and I love it. It doesn't take forever, it's challenging and I like that the circuits change frequently--I won't get bored and quit. One definitely needs some basic cardio and strength to build on. Not everyone can do push ups for time. If you can do 10 - 15 full pushups in one minute, I'd say you could…

A hickory-smoked Tofurkey sandwich with mustard and pickles is pretty much a daily occurrence. I eat roughly a ton of stir-fried broccoli and zucchini too. Both are reasonably healthy, but only fit comfortably in my daily intake when I exercise at least an hour per day. (Being relatively small is kind of hard.)

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Rock on.

There are a number of California attorneys whose work and reporting in this area, among that of others, is worth following. You can follow their national coverage here. http://bit.ly/1dfyAcm If you search "democratic rights" you'll get international coverage.

Either you are not correctly counting your calories (most likely), or you have a severe metabolic disorder that requires medical attention (rarer but possible), or you have a large tumor growing somewhere inside you (much rarer, also possible).

Big, round, firm, juicy, resilient brains. Oh, sorry... I'm female.

No. I wouldn't eat an animal born brain-dead and thus incapable of suffering either, though.

End of thread.

Mine is white ceramic with an etching of Lady Godiva on one side. I don't even want to know what that says about me.

I would probably have ended up with wine and waffle fries around midnight. Thanks for asking-- I think I'm going to treat myself to a birthday dinner!

I don't. I used to get into arguments with people and get my blood up. The role religion plays in a society is insidious, but it's never an individual issue, so arguing with individuals about their beliefs is pointless. Now that doesn't mean that individuals don't have their reasons for being religious, but those aren't…

Whoa don't sell yourselves short! Those aren't just any old meatball. They're organ meats ground, shaped and wrapped in hog omentum before they're cooked. That's a very special sort of horror.

I'm no fan of VS (or any the numerous related brands) but I agree that people should have nice underwear and enjoy wearing it. Fifteen and 16-year-olds--and the 18-22 set--are vigorously sexually active.... that's not changed since I was that age! The whole "it's taking childhood away!" strikes me as a conceit of…

Spring 30 Day Get Fit Jump Start Goal: lose 5lbs Starting Weight: 143 (SW)

I have to be honest, I'm so grateful for a quick decent-tasting (not Subway for once) vegan meal, I'm happy to budget a few hundred extra cals for nachos. There are plenty of salad bars in Chicago... and most of them are $$$.

Why is your sugar intake so tightly restricted? There are also lower sugar fruits with more nutrients than apples--like berries, for example.

You know, pancakes of any sort are actually really difficult to make well and consistently. Cooking fat, pan surface, cooking temperature are all decisive. I prefer recipes that are minimal in ingredients, contain a little oil, and produce a batter that is runny (and not thick). Skip the flax, use Egg Replacer or baking…

I think it's a start, but it's a little light on staples--like lentils, beans, greens, vegetables (mushrooms, squashes, citrus/tomatoes), rice/noodles. I suggest planning your meals for the week, and shopping accordingly.

Happy to help! :happy:

Why do you have your protein set so high? The recommended daily protein intake for athetes and body builders (!) is 0.8 gram per kilo of lean body mass. I don't know what your body fat percentage is, but even if your 160lbs was all lean mass, you'd still only require 58 grams per day (0.8 x 72.5 kg).

Thanks for spelling that out. It's tough to imagine sometimes how unaware some people are of the developmental stages of their own species.

Beans. High-cal, low price, tons of variety!

The vegan Galaxy shreds aren't bad. I've put them on baked mostaccioli and I didn't want to die.

I'm a little surprised at the overwhelming positive reactions here. Did everybody like those Superbowl ads from the 1950s too?
