In general, with the chicken breasts: The whole big piece - when it's like 2 of them stuck together, attached with a muscle or something - that is a pound. If it's just the one solid piece without the attachment, 8 ounces. I buy the tenderloins by the case from Costco and those have all weighed in at about 2 ounces each.…

This has nothing to do with your question, but are you weighing your food? 2 oz of chicken breast is, roughly, 1 small chicken strip. If you put enough chicken into each of the hot dog buns so you could taste it, it was probably more than 2 oz.

I've switched to eating just meat and veggies at dinner. I'm most successful when I don't have carbs after lunch. As for everyone saying to see a dietician.... the most weight I've ever gained in my life was when I saw one. I did exactly what they said and gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy. The next 2 pregnancies I did…

Hahahahahaha. Nice.

It's usually 2x2 for a rectangular cake. That's what it says on the boxes of cake mixes that I've seen. Some might be different. I don't add my homemade cakes to the public database since nobody else uses my 6,000-calorie frosting. :love:

After reviewing your profile, I would highly suggest you consult a more-appropriate health professional.

My thoughts exactly. Thank you.

WOW!!!!! Good thing you found out on Day 1! You can thank him for not being fake! :tongue:

LMAO! That's awesome.

I'm confused. 200 is borderline high. I've never heard of someone being a 7. To address the egg issue, my cholesterol used to be 200. For the last... quite a few.... months, I've eaten 3 whole eggs for breakfast almost every single day. My cholesterol is now 165. Edit to add more information: I also workout regularly now -…

Whoa... that is pure awesomeness! I love it!

My gym has a spray bottle with some kind of disinfectant inside. It's to be used on all the equipment - yoga mats, dumbbells, cushions, etc... I don't know about HRMs, but as for the non-electric stuff, you should be able to spray with Lysol or wipe it down with a Clorox wipe. You could also google, "How do I clean my…

The firefighters that ask for toy donations during the holidays look like this. I have my kids pick out something inexpensive to donate, and then take a picture of them with the firemen. :tongue:

Yes, very true. CVS cashiers get written up if they don't scan your Extracare card. Even if you're buying a pack of cigarettes or a jug of milk. I got into near-standoffs with customers because they refused to let me scan a card.

It depends on the brands of bacon. I tried turkey bacon in my Grand Slam breakfast at Denny's. Their turkey bacon is *AMAZING*. I felt good after eating that breakfast. Next trip to Costco, we picked up a multipack of turkey bacon. It tasted like nitrates and preservatives - and absolutely nothing else but that. I felt…

You're legit too! Don't sell yourself short. I went to look at protein powders a few weeks ago and the sales lady was like, "You'll like this line. It comes in pretty pink bottles." Ugh!

Once you dive in, it's much MUCH easier. Everybody there is hyperfocused on themselves, they aren't paying any attention to you. As someone else said, you can spot the *kitten* a mile away. If you aren't locked into a contract, see if there's a smaller gym in your area. I use the fitness center at the county Parks and…

If you're anything like me, the fact that you're already considering a HRM means that you will eventually "need" one. Within a few days of using a non-HRM watch, you'll be wishing you had a HRM. This is November. See what goes on sale for Black Friday. :-)

Health food stores usually have stuff for stomach problems. Most contain aloe, ginger, and/or peppermint. You could also try baking soda, but I'm not sure if that would cause problems with an ulcer. Research it first. If you want to do a restore on your phone: copy your contacts to the sim card, transfer your photos and…

My cell provider pays me.

I have a hard time getting enough protein too. Meal timing is like religion: People with totally different views believe whole-heartedly that their way is the only way. So, as with religion, you find the one that works for you. I had a doctor say 3 meals plus 2 snacks. She compared the metabolism to a fire. You get the…

LMAO!!!! My abs hurt. Thank you for that.

^^^ All of this. Go get a different friend with benefits. There are plenty of girls that like sex, they just can't announce it the way that guys do.

Isolates do seem to be better as far as macros are concerned. That is, if you need more protein and less carbs. I can't even hit half of my protein requirement without protein shakes. I don't really understand how someone over 100 pounds could meet their protein needs without a shake. Someone mentioned GI disturbances. If…

You all look amazing!!!!

I had them. It was really comfy having my toes separated - like they're meant to be. But then I hurt my knees and stopped jogging for awhile. Didn't feel like breaking back into the toe shoes. FWIW, I think Fila has a 4-toed option. The last 2 toes are together as one. For the 5 minutes that I tried them on, they were more…

That sounds phabulous!!

MMmmm I love Samsung!!!! I don't have the Note or the Tab, but my son was comparing them both at Costco a few weeks ago. The guy that worked in that department was very helpful with explaining the differences. If you're near a Costco, It'd be worth checking them out.

I have a few. Once you get one you'll be hooked. Make it memorable, personal, unique - not something off the wall!!!!! Tattoo artist are just that - ARTISTS. Use the pictures on the wall/internet to get an idea of what you want, then have the artist design something special for you. If you don't like what they draw out, go…

There's a food list on this site. I'm not taking on stand on whether the Candida diet is good/bad, and I hope people can try to stay on track with the topic. I'm only sharing this because it has a list of sugar-free foods. http://www.holistichelp.net/candida-diet.html
