Do you sleep at your night job? I have my schedule where I get up at 4, I have a little snack then have "breakfast" with the family at dinnertime, have snack at work at 10:30, "lunch" at 2am, and "dinner" at 6. I sleep from 8:30 till 4 p.m.

Hummus!!!

Have you tried the Rosemary Flavor....to die for

Use the gym at your hotel and you will be able to eat more :)

Best thing to do is get a heart rate monitor.

almonds pumpkin seeds grapes

1 cup garbanzo beans 14.5 grams 1 cup pinto beans 12 grams 1 cup refried beans 15.5 grams 1 cup soybeans 28 grams 1 oz. cashews 4.4 grams 1 oz. peanuts 6.5 grams 1 oz. sesame seeds 6.5 grams 1 oz. pistachios 5.8 grams 1 cup tofu 22 grams 1 cup lentils 18 grams 1 avocado 10 grams 1 cup broccoli 5 grams 1 cup spinach 5 grams…

How could that ease your mind? The cow still has an infection.

I'm a night shift tech too...in the lab! Good luck with your weight loss...

I just went there this past weekend. I noticed many vegetarian option that looked good but possible still high in calories. Such as the corn tamales and avocado egg rolls. There is also garlic noodles but those would be really bad, I guess. I got the hummus which was made with white beans instead of chick peas and it was…

Way to GO!!! and good luck! There are tons of sites on the internet to help you be creative. It also gets easier the longer you do it. You should even start to feel better, just be careful and eat healthy. There are a lot of "junk" vegan foods.

I'll add you. I need as many veggie friends as I can get. I used to be a really good vegetarian but backslid. I started a Vegan diet 1 month ago and only had a few slip ups. I'm always positive when it comes to people trying to cut out meat and dairy. What ever you can do helps your diet and the animals. I can't stand when…

Sorry I laughed at that guys comment, it just caught me off guard. I'm also a mom of three and work the night shift. I tried only eating 1000 calories a day and of course, I was always starving. I did lose weight quicker this way, but I didn't feel good and was prone to binges. I now eat 1200 cal a day or more if I…

:laugh:

Mostly I gave up cheese because I chose to go Vegan (well, as close as I can.) So, yes, even fat free would be out for me. I put avocados on my sandwiches now instead. There really is no nutritional value in eating cheese or milk. If I want to cheat it will be with dark chocolate, not cheese. Although, I haven't been…

I mainly live without cheese. I used to love it but when I realize how much saturated fat is in it, I decided that I don't love it that much. If I just have to have it, I will have Veggie Shreds. As for milk, I use Vanilla Soy or Almond. Haven't missed it at all.

I pretty much have the same snacks every day in rotation: Pretzel sticks or celery sticks with hummus, whole grain toast with avocado and sea salt, or salt free rice cake with almond butter.

everytime I get on there is the bright blue cup cake. So rude!

We do meatless monday's. Definitely do it!

Thanks guys! I'm gonna work real hard to eat right to inspire my family to do the same. I'm hoping that they notice how much better I feel (and look.) As for the book The Veganist, I'm reading it now, but it is not a cookbook :( Jody
