Oh and as a general rule, tropical fruits tend to be higher in sugar than most. Berries tend to be lower in sugar.

A lot of the carb heavy processed foods are typically lacking in nutrients. So if you are going to restrict your diet then carbs are usually one of the first things to get cut. Fruit in no way shape or form is bad..but carbs are carbs and sugar is sugar. The benefit of eating the sugars in fruit is the nutritional value of…

Same here. I end up cooking what I want to cook. I HAVE to. The reason I gained weight in the first place was because I ate what the family wanted to eat. Now I call the shots and my kids eat what I make or they go to bed hungry. My SO can make something on her own if she doesn't like it. It may seem harsh at times, but…

Why? I think you will eventually collapse =/

LOL I hate to admit, I love those things. Especially with the Brach's pumpkins mixed in. Holidays are the worst.

I put on a pound and a half last week. A couple of days later the same scale said I was 3 pounds lighter. It can water retention, a discrepancy with the scale itself or a multitude of other things. Don't worry about.

Congrats! I would consult your doctor about your diet and exercise. Every pregnancy is different. Ditto on the Folic Acid!

To answer your question though, drink as much as you want as long as it fits your macros/calorie goals. I personally like to drink them whether I go to the gym or not.

I do a 50/50 water and milk for a meal replacement at lunch time. Its easy repeatable and keeps me full until dinner.

Having a jalapeno and swiss burger for lunch today.

Friend in moderation of course.

I eat when Im bored. Its terrible! MFP really helps keep me in check. Is that cold piece of pizza in the fridge really worth the 400 calories? Am I really hungry in the first place? Nah, I can wait for my quinoa and chicken at 7:00 =)

This time of year, squash is definitely on my list. I'm also starting to think chili :) (ground turkey, tomatoes, peppers etc)

I was going to say the appetizer sampler. KIDDING. Honestly I think the chicken caesar wrap would have been my choice.

I do 2 scoops every day plus an egg in the morning. Seems to take care of most of my protein needs. What is your concern specifically? Calories?

I try to buy food that is as close to nature as possible. In other words, A plain old apple is better than an "organic" pop tart or whatever.

Congrats on your weight loss!
