  • Protein Protein Protein.....There are some GREAT Vegan Protein Supplements out there....a few of my favorites: PlantFusion LifeBasics Garden of Life - Raw Protein Nutiva Hemp Protein Most have 15g or better (PlantFusion has 20+g) Good way to make sure you are meeting your protein needs.

  • Oh yes Sardines....Love them with sour cream or quality greek yogurt and celery or with mustard (yellow or spicy deli) and chopped onions or as a "salad" with tomatoes and/or cucumbers. [Note sardines have more minerals (esp calcium) , just as much or more protein and significantly less mercury than tuna.]

  • Made something similar last week with Spaghetti squash. I used roasted garlic infused olive oil, and a generous teaspoon of Bragg's Herb seasoning (similar to Mrs Dash original & Italian)....for the cheesy buttery taste I added Bragg's Nutritional Yeast ( not doing a lot of dairy these days)... It was awesome! I used it as…

  • I have the body media fit link. The only thing I log in MFP is maybe my activities into the Exercise Notes. I use the "Burn" figure/number given to me on my BMF Link and accept the # that syncs to MFP. I really only use MFP for calories/food log I let BMF be my guide for activity and caloric deficit.

  • I count total carbs although I do track fiber to ensure my system is "moving" as it should. Remember to read labels....and not just for calories and macro nutrients (Fat/Carbs/Protein) but look at the Ingredients. Work to make what you are eating REAL food. Yogurt should have little more than milk and cultures. Some non…

  • I absolutely LOVE Mine!!! I have the Body Media Fit Link. Having the data on my phone is AWESOME. It is linked to my MFP, the food (calories and some macros) are shared with BMF and in turn when synced by computer BMF shares your activity level with MFP. I mostly use MFP for nutrition tracking. I look to BMP for my TDEE…

  • Increase your protein and good fats on that day. Those help keep you full and satisfied longer. Drizzle veggies and beans with a little flavored olive oil for example. There are some GREAT vegan Protein powders. Personal favorites are PlantFusion, LifeBasics and Nutiva Hemp.

  • Yeah the numbers may be a off but relatively speaking you can still use the data to make a choice in the lesser of 2 evils. Also just because something is listed as Low Fat, Non-Fat, Low Calorie doesn't make it better for you. I encountered this yesterday when having to choose the salad dressing for my salad when I went to…

  • It is about total daily calories and how you choose to use them. It is also about what you burn. If you eat a several calories for lunch, eat a bit less for dinner or do a few more minutes of exercise. I work in an urban downtown office setting. Tons of places to go out and eat. While it can be tempting I bring my lunch…

  • Remember the Calories on MFP are NET Calories you may have them set at 1200 but if you are doing it right and exercising/being active you may be eating a TOTAL well above 1200. If your are only taking in 1200 calories TOTAL and you are working out regularly your NET Calories are way under 1200 calories and it just gets you…

  • I would rather over estimate my calories consumed than under. Deep fried is another story...but even there I do a little online research to double check the figures provided in MFP before I log it. Many times I just build a recipe so it breaks down the numbers for me in that particular dish. Example: Yesterday I prepared a…

  • If there are seasonings in it that may account for some carbs, but as LauraDotts mentioned many seemingly carb *free* items have carbs (eggs/egg whites is one of them).
    in Asda Mince Comment by wildfirediva December 2012
  • I allow myself more carbs on the weekends (usually Friday evening thru Saturday), but I still count my calories (as in try not to go above my TDEE).
