I practically live on turkey burgers too! :) Using a lb of 93/7 ground white turkey, I combine salt free seasoning, 2 slices Ezekiel wheat bread (run through the processer to make crumbs), 2 tsp minced onion that has been soaked in 2 TBS water for about 3 minutes and about 4 TBS whole berry cranberry sauce (mashed).

I love protein bars but after reading (or trying to pronounce) some of the ingredients, I limit the amount of bars that I eat. Each day, I try to eat "natural" protein consisting of egg whites, organic ground turkey, grilled chicken, a variety of beans, part skim mozzarella. I usually reach >100g protein. Whey protein…

I've lost somewhere between an automobile tire and the amount of pizza an average American eats in a year. I recently carried a case of 20 bottles spring water for about 1 1/2 miles. When I reached my destination, I realized I was carrying the same number of pounds that I've lost!!! :)

I'm relatively new here, and I log in every day to record my calories and workouts. I've lost 14 lbs in the past 90 days (I intentionally didn't want to lose more than one pound a week. I also seemed to plateau, and didn't lost any weight for about 3 weeks. I spoke with a PT friend who suggested I get out of the gym and…
