can't see your food diary so my suggestions may be redundant. cut out white flour, white sugar and any high fructose corn syrup. eat within 1 hour of waking up and eat every 2 to 3 hours to keep your metabolism burning. Keep snacks under 200 calories. There is so much more to my food plan, you can check it out at…

I went to an Italian cookout yesterday. First thing yesterday I went to the gym and I had a healthy breakfast and lunch. If you know Italians, it's all about the food and lots of it. Mussels, clams, crabs, pork, italian bread, crab gravy with spaghetti, roasted peppers. So I brought a healthy coleslaw, shrimp and the…

one thing i have learned to do is load in my food at the beginning of the day. this way if i'm over or under or anything, i can tweak my food diary to fit my food plan.

if you aren't eating enough protein, working out will wipe you out!! You should be eating protein at every meal and try to time your workouts so that you have a meal after the workout.

You could substitute the chicken with the ground beef. Spicy Chicken Stuffed Potatoes Ingredients: • 4 baking potatoes (about 1-1/2 pounds) • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 12 ounces), cut into bite-sized pieces • 2 tablespoons 100% whole wheat or soy flour • 2 teaspoons paprika • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 1/4…

maybe mom was just having a bad day...maybe you just caught her at a bad moment. however, the name calling is out of line. as a mom, i expect my daughter (24) to respect me in my house but I also try to show her respect. we do alot for each other. she took my car for an oil change today and gave me her car so I could still…

Luna bars are my favorite. They have the correct amt of protein in them and are under 200 calories. My snacks are always under 200.

i think it really depends on what type of sugar you are eating. I do not eat anything that has white sugar, white flour or high fructose corn syrup in it. If my sugar is over the alottment it's "good" sugar, natural sugar. In the past when I've let these not so good ingredients back into my meals, I definitely saw a…

steam open a bag of mussels, remove one of the shells and leave the mussel loose on the half shell on an old cookie sheet. Take some smart balance butter and mix with your favorite minced herbs like chives and garlic. Top each mussel with a little bit of the butter mixture. Place cookie sheet on the grill until the butter…

How about a peanut butter luna bar or a white chocolate macadamia luna bar?

I can't see what you are eating since you have not opened up your food diary. Are you weighing and measuring your food? Getting rid of white flour, white sugar and high fructose corn syrup? Eat every 2 to 3 hours during the day starting within 1 hour of waking up. Keep your sodium under 700 mgs per meal.

I'm a routine kinda girl. Low sugar instant oatmeal for breakfast mixed with 1 scoop of protein powder. Lunch is usually either leftovers or a Trader Joe's grilled chicken sandwich with steamed veggies or i like to buy the already cooked rotisserie chicken and make sandwiches with that on a whole wheat wrap and some…

These are the guidelines my nutritionist has given me and I've lost 76 lbs since October. I readjusted the goals on here to fit more in line with these guidelines. Per meal: calories between 300 to 500 carbs 15 to 30 g fat 20 to 30% or less of total calories fiber at least 5 g sodium - LESS than 700 mgs in a meal i also…

I absolutely weigh and measure all my food. It goes both ways. You want to make sure you are not eating too much but you also need to make sure you are eating enough!!

Some days I struggle to get over 1200 calories and some days I have no problem. I never ever eat all my calories in one day. It's just too much food and then I would be going over the other categories of protein, fat and sodium. if I get over 1200, I'm content. AND still losing weight.

I work full time from home which is what got me to where i am in the first place. However, on my food plan, we are to eat every 2 to 3 hours. I'm usually never hungry and keep quite busy with work, going to the gym, researching new recipes, planning out my food for the day (ahead of time) cause it's too late once you've…

I can't see your food diary so I don't know what you are eating but here are some hard and fast rules from my food program that have helped me lose 76 lbs since October. No white flour, white sugar or high fructose corn syrup. I eat within one hour of waking up. Usually a bowl of low sugar instant oatmeal with a scoop of…

you should cut out white sugar, white flour and high fructose corn syrup. eat more lean protein. I've lost 76 lbs since October. This website is great but it does not give you a food plan which I think is so important. you need to know what you should be eating, how much and how often. if you want to know more about how to…

if you take the total minutes worked out, add a zero and divide by 2 it should give you a pretty accurate idea of how many calories you burned. Your post didn't say exactly what you were doing at the gym. I always go by what the treadmill tells me I burned.

Way way too much sodium in chinese. i prefer to make it myself instead of ordering it. i enjoy it so much more.

I do however like Trader Joe's. If you have one near you, you should check it out. They have frozen items like chicken burgers and buffalo burgers that are really good and healthy for you. I also get cheddar popcorn from there. It's a great night time because the protein+fiber+fat are more than the carbs. I measure them…

So I guess everyone on here who voted for 'yes" missed the segment on the Today Show this morning? They actually took some of these frozen meals to an independent lab which found huge errors in the calories and fat that is advertised. When questioned about this, the company spokesperson said, it's an average and the FDA…

Yep, I use sparkpeople!

Are you kidding? When I have to go, I run for the bathroom. It was worse 76 lbs ago though I have to say. The more weight i lose the better i feel, though I still have to run. The dr tried putting me on some meds but it just blocked me up the other way. Now I make sure that I pee before I get on the treadmill. I went to…

4 oz grilled tilapia with a little salsa on top, steamed brocoli and a salad with 2 tbsp red wine vingear and a dash of black pepper.

Looking at your food diary, I can tell your body is in starvation mode. You need to eat at least 1200 calories a day to keep your metabolism burning. Eat something within 1 hour of waking up. Eat every 2 to 3 hours all day long. Cut out white sugar, white flour and high fructose corn syrup. keep your snacks under 200…

I'm not a huge mustard fan. Used to LOVE mayo! Now I use Trader Joe's garlic hummus. 1 tbsp on my burger and I don't even use cheese anymore.

Or how about the skinny models in a Lane Bryant catalog? LOL
