Yum! I'm a lacto/ovo vegetarian, so eggs and whatnot are good for me! Although Ive been drinking almond milk, because regular milk is just nasty tasting and i need calcium! Good ideas though! And all simple, non-packaged food. I love hummus!

Good to know!

Wouldn't this do something horrible to your metabolism? I wouldn't want to fast and end up slowing down my metabolism in the long run...

Check out Happy Herbivore, its a plant-based oil-free diet plan. Its technically vegan but not labeled as such, and it puts more emphasis on eating whole plant based foods!

Whovian, LOTR, sci-fi (star trek) fan :)

What kind of food scales do you guys use? links?

Thanks for the great advice guys, I think I'll bring her up then haha!

Easy no measuring breakfast: handfull or so of oats (around a 1/4-1/2 cup oats, but who measures these things?) bout 10 or so raisins bout 1/2-2/3 cup of Almond Breeze Vanilla low sugar almond milk! Zap it for 3 minutes ( i usually pack my lunch during this 3 minutes) and boom!

Yup! https://www.graze.com/us/p/PZM2VKC2U This is for the US so if you are looking for one in the UK sorry :(! I just got my first graze box yesterday, pretty yummy stuff, although small amounts! Thats probably best though, stops me from snacking too much!!

Whenever I have a crazy craving for something I try and eat a healthy replacement of that thing. Like when I really want chocolate I'll have a cup of hot chocolate or a piece of dark chocolate instead of a brownie. When I really want ice cream instead of breaking out the Ben and Jerrys I make myself frozen banana ice cream…

WHERE IS THIS WIZARD-CON?

I'm 5'3" and 140 pounds and I'm trying to eat 1200 calories a day, but I find I keep going over to around 1300, to stay satisfied, which in all respects isn't bad. I'm new here though, so i'm hoping to see some sort of improvement!
