Great insight. I took the info off the package and then scanned the bar code on the same package. What confuses me is that a lot of their other product are all around the higher calorie and carb values. This one seemed so low! Both values (MFP and label ) were for 100g not entire package. I did email the company and…

For a small dessert I use COCONUT CREAM!! Yum!!! About 2 Tbsp plus .5 T chia seeds and chocolate liquid stevia or maple flavoring...mix and let sit in the fridge...sprinkle a few cacao nibs!! OMG! Consistency is like cheese cake! Plus you getting great fats and low carb!

OMG ...NUTS! Being vegan and LCHF keto is challenging...trying to find a balance between hitting my macros and being satisfied is tough. The crunch gets me all the time! I do try and stick with macadamia nuts as they are the lowest in carbs.

I start off my day with a negative in my exercise calories !! Haven't even moved yet. Even when I do move and do weights I am still at a negative calorie (meaning if my calorie in take is 1400 i can only eat 1200 bc it calculates the difference somehow??) not sure how this works Anyone?

November 3 Second pass already! Another tough day at work. My boss who gave me my walking papers on Monday "smiled" at me today and I just looked at her with dead angry eyes. Others have gotten their new positions in the Hosptital and ME they still have no clue what to offer me! I am still in limbo. I eat when I am angry!…

@2020pinktogo thank you

Wow. Changing jobs after so many years. I applaud you. I am in a similar situation but NOT my doing. My position at the Hosptial is being abolished and I am waiting what they have to offer me (I have job security) but it doesn't mean it will coincide with family. Like a 1-9pm position! I would never see my kids and this…

Hi to all my MFP peeps . I joined this challenge to be accountable for logging everything I eat especially once I have completed my diary for the night. I tend to eat afterwards and not count it :0 Also, we all undergo areas of stress. My position at the Hosptial is being cut and I don't know where they are going to offer…

It goes against ALL trains of thought my when you look into the research and science it makes a lot of sense. Macro…

I am 5'3" and 47 yrs old and bounce between 130-133 but would love to be at 125 where I was 3 years ago. Having major troubles getting below 130! Being vegan means eating more vegetables, beans tempeh and tofu. Now trying to get to and stay in ketosis with LCHF to see if this works and is more satiating. I work out 5x/week…

Sounds interesting . Issue to consider is where to find a washroom when in and about?? Hmmmmm. Cutting back on sodium may be hard given a lot of soya sauce! Lol. I guess if you live here you would be able to maneouver but being a visitor is tough. If I was in US would be super easy. Here I try and tell them even with…
-
Thank you so much Sunny. You are very insightful to how I would be thinking in my head! While here I am trying my best to stick to the tofu and veggies however most is stir fried or fried! Still not great but that's my only option for the trip. Raw food I was told to be carful (such as salads) bc of the water they wash it…

Being vegan and keto is very hard. Struggling as well. Now in China for 2 weeks so impossible to log food and follow LCHF. Which sucks bc all crappy feelings of bloat and cravings have returned. Before leaving for China I ate: Bok choy!!! Very very low carb Veggies Tofu (sprouted ) Tempeh is too high in carb but once in…
