I understand the process. But theres 100 times more trans fat in the hamburger we eat, so like I said, Im not too worried about it. A bit more info Although the trans fatty acids are chemically "monounsaturated" or "polyunsaturated" they are considered so different from the cis monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty…

haha! Yes I love Hansens (when theyre on sale lol) If i have leftover calories i usually have a vitamin water. Oh great now my mouth is watering for a kiwi strawberry!:laugh:

I havent had a soda in over three weeks! Ironically the same time I started this site!:happy: I couldnt stand "waisting" my calories on a sierra mist.

Margarine Ingredients: Water, vegetable oil ( liquid soybean oil. partially hydrogenated soybean oil) Tricalcium phosphate*,salt, vegetable mono and diglycerides, lactic acid (to protect quality) soy lecithin*. polyglycerol esters of fatty acids*, xanthan gum*, vitamin E, flavor, vitamin A, Beta carotene, Vitamin D3 and…

When the Dr says your urine should be clear, he means you should be able to see through it. It should have a little yellow tint to it but should be clear not cloudy. If your urine looks like water your body is getting abit too much and is just flushing it before it even uses it.

FYI My scale says 200g is roughly 7 oz :happy:

A "cup" of something will always weigh something different depending on what you are weighing. One cup of water however is 8oz. But fluid ounces are different than regular ounces. Confusing I know, so i would just use the "cup" measurment when counting calories becauce most serving sizes are given in that format. We rarely…

Im pretty sure coffee counts as a negative glass of water because it is a diuretic and causes you to flush water. I always add a cup of water to my day if Ive had coffee. And its 8 cups not 8 glasses as most assume. One glass is about 2 cups I keep a glass of water by me and drink all day.

If you eat alot of salt, you need to drink alot of water.Yeah I know what ur thinking. But drinking plenty of water will help flush the body and you will retain less water. Weird I know but it works. :wink:

Any one have any tofu recipes? My boyfriend and I want to try it but dont know what to do with it. I know its pretty versitile but where do I start??

I made beef with broccoli last night. It was sooo good. I used thin cut top sirloin cut into 1 X 1 1/2 pieces. Coat them in seasoned cornstarch and saute with 2 cloves of chopped garlic in 1 tbsp oil. When fully cooked, add 3 cups broccoli pieces and 1 cup of big chunks of onion. Stir fry till cooked but still crisp. Then…

you can customize how you want to intake your calories. I do 50% carbs 25% fat and 25% protein (rather than 55,30,15) and rarely ever go over. (Thanks songbrdsweet) Just go to goals, change goals ,custom and go from there. HTH

Are you trying to eat frozen veggies?? They always seem to soggy to me. Try making FRESH veggies. They are supposed to be crisp and colorful not mushy and dull. lol I used to overcook veggies all the time. Yuck. Make sure to use a steam basket too. They make the best veggies and dont over-cook. Good Luck.

I like the fiber one bars way better than the curves ones too!! Oats and chocolate is my fav! Curves bars just arent chewy enough and the fiber bars cure my chocolate craving fast! Not to mention theyre like twice as big! :blushing:

Pita Bread and Hummus! mmmmm.... I want some right now.

They have them at walmart. If you cant find them, try the Werthers Original or the Werthers chewy. MMMM they melt in ur mouth!!:love: I like em cuz they take forever to chew!

Ive been doing Optima for two weeks now. I just have one for breakfast and then a banana or yogurt a few hours later. I try not to go too long with out a little something. Then I have a small lunch Later I have a small snack and a few hours later, dinner. Eating fairly small snacks throughout the day seems to be working…

ditto!:wink:

The chewy ones are even better!!!!!

When I started at this site I couldnt believe how much crap I was putting in my body on a regular basis! I have since lost 10 lbs!!! :noway: Yesterday our roomate brought home some of this crazy trail mix. It had white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips,chocolate chips, almond,cashew cranberries and peanuts and all kinds…

Try brewing your own Green Tea.Then you can decide which to make AND how you sweeten it.There are alot of brands out there. Try whole Foods. I like to make a gallon of sun tea. Ive gotten used to drinking it with no sweetener. Its much more refreshing. Plus when you make it yourself you dont have to drink all those…

Does anyone know if the nutritional value in the database for ground beef is "as is" or is it for after you drain all the fat out. Im assuming that it is drained( who would leave it in anyway lol) Although Im not sure because if you drain all the fat out would it all be the same? For example 70/30 with all the fat gone…

I know from experience that little dogs tend to feel really defensive around little children (kids can be really high strung and little dogs get squashed) Their only real defense is to bite and nip. So be careful letting the little ones get too rambuncsious (sp) with the dog. Little dogs like that are really for older…

I add 500 calories to account for breastfeeding but i add it to my daily allowance. You can do so by going to Home then goals, change goals, custom, and add it to calories. Thats what I am doing. I just finished my first week and Ive already lost 8 lbs!!!! So it must be working! Good Luck:wink:

I had the same problem. I found out a few days ago that you can adjust how you consume your calories. I was going over on protein so i adjusted mine from 55% carbs, 15%protein and 30% fat to 55%carbs 20%protein and 25% fat and it seems to be just the right amount. You can find it under goals, change goals, custom... and go…

Thanks you guys!! I think I got it figured out. I adjusted to 55 c, 20f, and 25p and it seems to be just right. Just changing it by 5% made such a difference so now im not worried about it!

I know ! I cant believe it either:noway: I just finished my first week and I am 8 lbs. down! Now I am expecting things to slow down abit as my body adjust to all this healthy food.:laugh: Congratulations and keep it up!!

It seems that everyday ive been going over on my protein. MFP says I am allowed 64g. If I have a chicken breast (no skin) for dinner, thats all the protein I can have for the day. That just doesnt seem right. What to do??
