depends how many people and what the budget is. i make and donate meals for about 30-40 teens for a homeless and runaway shelter . mac n cheese and also tacos are popular. they love chili and that is always affordable so i buy shredded mexican cheese and sour cream to top the chili with and also give doritoes because its…

i marinate my boneless skinless chicken breast in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and onion powders, pepper and oregano for at least a few hours or overnight . i use the air fryer to cook it and it always turns out moist and flavorful. i do add a bit of salt to taste once its on my plate

thanks for your two cents. I agree on not trying to deal with too much specifics but for me I need a visual of what 3 oz of something looks like. then I can swing it on my own after that. for fruits and vegetables most of that doesnt matter .. my cholesterol has been reported as high recently and while my bp is controlled…

Two Good Yogurt is keto friendly ..add some nuts or NuTrail , fresh berries to it

when I set myself up for the day I am making an effort into eating fresh veggies and berries and having roasted red pepper hummus for dipping.

its 5pm here and so far i stuck to my rules i made for myself ..anything can change on a dime though lol… im off to bingo and brought my own snacks to keep from buying the stuff i ought not to have. my secret to sticking to things is to keep busy

texting on here lol…. getting ready to put my father in law to bed then gonna dance for a half hour take a shower and off to bed

I am 65 and I used to always be active whether it was out in a nightclub dancing all night or going to a gym, swimming, running.. not anymore I realized just a few days ago how inactive I am because literally all i do anymore aside from domestic chores is go to the casino and bingo. this has gained me 20lbs since last…

yogurt, eggs, salads ..even pasta if you can ask them to limit the sauce . oatmeal , lowfat milk . if you are able to get to an aldi or wegman store they often have fresh fruits for a decent price and a variety of healthy choices. my son is at a college and was lucky enough to get in a college apartment this year but even…

various berries ..also i am drinking ancient nutrition strawberry lemonade collagen and somehow I feel it helps because I find my arthritic pain subsides after having it a few days in a row.stretching. range of motion exercises and if you are able to go to a gym with a swimming pool helps tremendously

My son went vegetarian then pescatarian. He eats eggs, cheese, seafood and milk products. however I often cook various bean dishes for him and high protein breads , pastas and tortillas.he also likes peanut butter on bread,protein bars and nuts for snacks . He also likes his shakes. He is athletic and does not have any…

I am from Buffalo, so chicken wings lol ..i actually bought some for the household today and had three and i feel ill. I been trying to behave and my body is responding negatively to crap food now .

It's so good .. I get mine at Sam's Club .. you can get the large bag for a better bargain. i measure it out too and a serving is more than enough

Last night I was craving something that would make me feel like it wasnt supposed to be good for me and I remembered I had a bag of Nu'Trail Cinnamon and Pecan granola which is keto friendly. I measured it out and used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It worked for me. I really wanted ice cream though and thought well I…

i make sure my bed is clean and comfortable and madebecause if it isnt I definitely won't sleep.. I have made my bed is my sanctuary. have had insomnia for decades. When I have it really bad I take a hot shower and then go to bed and play a thunderstorm on youtube or my spotify and imagine I am in a tropical island ,…

I am 65 and have had hot flashes for years.. I embrace cooler weather and even when its cold . Luckily I live in the northeast when weather is typically ice cold or cool. My weight sucks. I have to both eat a healthy diet and exercise or I won't lose weight. I hate documenting everything but find when I do that I am more…

Two Good Vanilla Yogurt with some blueberries and strawberries and added NuTrail low carb keto nut granola with cinnamon pecan.. I highly recommend that granola for those who enjoy that kind of crunch..I have used it as a cereal with unsweetened vanilla almond milk as well.

Nuts mmm

use veggies with hummus . I like roasted red pepper hummus

make chicken salad and use celery and sliced red,orange, &/or yellow bell peppers to scoop it up…or I use low carb tortillas sometimes to make pinwheels with

thankfully I like my coffee black

i eat food that is filling. and i try to eat throughout the day ..as in grazing but planned grazing. i always bring snacks in the car where i spend a lot of time . i eat with out thought so if i dont bring them i will go through a drive thru somewhere and get something that i know i shouldnt be having. drink alot of water,…

i hate schedules ... to the bone i hate them which is why im so inconsistent ..i have always been a spontaneous person . i get bored with routine

that is devine intervention.. save the money for a new outfit you want once you loose some weight .

add me anyone ... i am looking for folks who want to interact on here and not just be on a friend list

carbs spread out during the day with them being the lowest at dinner is what i try to attempt . it has worked for me so far .. i would ask him the reasoning because any trainer i ever had suggested to spread it out

i eat about an hour before workout and after workout have a protein/carb something.. easiest for me is either yogurt with fruit, a protein bar or nuts and fruit ..and always water

i can relate to you big time ..for all my life . now i am doing it with a different mind set . one thing i definitely do is prepare myself ahead of time . i am keeping majorly busy in my life now and assuring my time to do my workouts . i have small baby step goals so instead of saying i need to lose 70lbs i say i need to…

ya 80 lbs ..took hard work and i try not to think about the fact that i gained alot of it back, im back on the road though so I know it is achievable

i wouldn't say it annoys me so much as it baffles me how a lady dressed to the nines for the gym with make up and perfect hair do , walking on a treadmill as slow as the day is long , surfing the phone or watching a show on the tv screen in front of her ... chompin on a piece of gum no less .. i dont really care but i…
