thanks for the THAI POST Chris, Thai food is my weakness is life, I could eat endlessly. since coming to MFP I've had a hard time trying to track it accurately since most of the time it is restaurant bought. my faves are stir fry seafood medley with basil and chicken panang

Andouille Sausage, Mixed Grilled Veggies, Rice

it might be really hard to do... but try weighing yourself just once a month

thanks for the diamond suggestion, will definitely try. any other low cal milk alternatives that go great with cereals, cupcakes, cookies? thanks!

can someone recommend a brand of almond milk, i tried for the first time today the silk unsweet almond milk with cereal and it was really just weird, it seemed way too thick and the liquid never really took on the flavor of the cereal which btw milk always does. it what makes eating cereal really tasty. i would really love…

"gator-aide" sorry, i just couldnt resist the topic title reference to a hilarious sandler movie

at the moment i'm living with a daily deficit of about 700 kcals per day, So I find that my body is asking for breakfast everyday, sometimes i have to prepare my breakfast the minute i get up, a glass of water does nothing to subside it. Most days, I have to eat breakfast within an hour of waking up. before i started, i…

congrats man! you look pretty happy........before and after

this was very good reading. when i started weeks 1 - 6: I ate 400 kcals below my BMR (following the suggestion of MFP calc.) on week 6, it really hit me hard, that week, i stayed at 1600 but was hungry all the time. week 7-11: I ate 200 kcals below my BMR. at the moment, I'm still obese, not famished, so I'm not sure If…

awesome job Bro! do you have a plan in place for maintenance? how much exercise did you incorporate on a weekly basis? bravo man....Bravo

ham, eggs, mushrooms, green pepper, red peppers, garlic, cherry tomatoes, rice & wheat toast. 1 pound of food 312 Kcals

if you think of your caloric goals in terms of weekly goals, rather than daily goals. it really becomes easier to deal with day-to-day variations. you've got 1200 x 7 days = 8400 calories to spread throughout the week. Why not enjoy those calories when your body is really asking for them. the short answer: I wouldn't eat…

don't forget to use the quick tools in the diary to "remember my meal" that way you dont have enter all the items every time, even if the the amounts are slightly different, it's still easier to pull up a remembered meal and edit rather than have to enter from scratch

1 US penny = 2.5 grams 1 US nickle = 5 grams therefore 20 nickles = 100 grams

I love that! you should really try to make a jammin dish with only those 3 ingredients, you're so lucky the butter is in there. my top 3 all meshed-up might be kinda gross (strawberries, asparagus & mushrooms)

your right, something seems funny to me too I eat chicken and beef all the time and can't really find it on my list of most used foods. upon inspection, that list seems to contain mainly condiments and spices like mayo, a1 sauce, hot sauce, minced garlic, pepper, tortillas, bread, lettuce, fruits and veggies. seems odd i…

It really boils down to personal preference. If the idea is to go out and do 10 miles and you feel more comfortable walking at 5 mph than jogging, then do walking. if the idea is to burn more calories then definitely go jogging at 5 mph. what you are going to find out is that with running your stamina, endurance, and…

its that time of the month again when i take leftover wheat bread (kept frozen until i have 10 slices of bread) and make bread pudding 1/8 slice 200 Kcals

you've stumble on a great secret, adding bacon to anything.... takes the dish to new heights. try it with cabbage too. or the next time you make a steak dish, add some thick cut bacon to it. absolutely amazing. 1inch bite size sirloin steak, equal parts of thick cut bacon, oven roasted tomatoes, lots of onions, garlic, 1…

visited my Mum while running a work errand and she hits me with this for lunch: flat bread pizza, spinach salad, mixed grilled veggies, a serving of baked tilapia, and a mini fruit tart

here's some more tips. 1. use a cast-iron skillet that's been heated alone for 2-3min 2. use high heat & 1Tbl unsalted butter per steak 3. pat down steak with paper towel to make it as dry as possible, season both sides salt/pepper 4. be patient, leave the steak alone until it comes off easy on its own (about 4 minutes) 5.…

YES, ABSOLUTELY. i've been tracking my food for 2 months now, and have only used walking as my only form of exercise. the app I use says I've been walking about 25 miles per month, usually done between 4 to 5 days per week. now that i feel more fit and 18 lbs lighter, im going to incorporate push ups, sit ups, light…

the very first time i ran a 1/2 marathon, i had never in my life ran for that kind of distance, well with one caveat. I was running about 3 days a week. 8 miles per day with little effort. The only reason I did the 1/2 marathon was because a running buddy signed us up to do the long beach 1/2 marathon one week prior to the…

ham, eggs, mushrooms, green peppers, asparagus, peas, rice, wheat toast. 349kcals

what the program is really saying is, if you ate everyday like you did "Today" for the next 5 weeks, you would weight this much in 5 weeks. So today must have been a day where you were above your normal calories. Don't read too much into it. keep up the good work

takeout seafood chow fun

saying "I'm good" has never failed

tuna + leftover pasta + bernstein's light cheese fantastico + mustard + little bit of lemon juice + handful of peppercorns + sprinkle some bread crumbs for an added crunch. taste like a quick tuna casserole

PAGE 13 takes the cake, total props to Acg & tsikkz for that yum-fest. i knew lunch was going to be leftovers, but i didn't want the same meal again So I used leftover meatballs from one meal and leftover rice from another, then was so lucky to have a pepper laying around so I could fire-roast it and stuff it with the…

this is my absolute favorite chicken sandwich chicken sandwich on a french baguette with lettuce, tomato, radishes, and watercress. I like to drizzle the bread with plenty of the tomato broth. 506Kcals thigh meat is cooked in a tomato-base broth with onions, garlic, and oregano.
