Drink however much liquid you need to make your urine light yellow in color.

I add it to some Ricotta cheese.

Heavy lifting is my favorite. Yoga is currently in second place.

I cannot wing it on the weekends. I try to plan for as much of my day as possible.

A plain Oreo is 70 calories. I imagine that oil and batter would double the calorie count. Oh, but I bet it's so delicious! :smile:

Here's what I would do: Weigh the dish/pot that it will bake in. Weigh each raw ingredient. Mix and bake meal. Weigh the final product in that same dish/pot (Wait until it cools!). Take the weight of the cooked food + dish/pot and subtract the weight of the dish/pot. The remaining grams (this represents the food) will…

Oh, I thought that this was going to be a thread about food scales! That's the only scale I'm obsessed with. I even have a mini one in my purse (I weigh stuff at work).

Nothing's off the table. Even foods I hate by themselves (e. g. cauliflower) may somehow sneak it's way past my lips. And who knows, even foods I hate now may someday turn out to be something I try again. I hate sauerkraut by itself, but one of my favorite sandwiches is a classic Reuben.

I usually weigh myself every morning, after bathroom time, before shower, and naked. I only record my weight if it's a new low while on a cut cycle.

I said "NO" to my kitty who was trying to eat my bacon. It's MY bacon, kitty! Go away!

Her profile says she's 20. OP, what are your stats (height, current weight, goal weight)? 1200 calories may be too low. You may be able to lose weight while eating more calories than that, which would mean that you could fit in vegetables into your plan.

Well played.

Have you asked your doctor this question?

I love eel sauce and roe. I prefer the raw fish over the fried/tempura fish.... although, there was a pork tenderloin tempura roll that was crazy delicious. I tend to stay away from vegetarian rolls because I love raw fish so much. I am not a fan of wasabi or fermented ginger.

My favorite exercise is lifting weights, not because of the calorie burn, but because I want to keep as much muscle mass as I can while eating at a deficit. It's also quite empowering. I can squat more than 1.25 x my body weight and deadlift even more than that! :smile:

If you're lifting while cutting, therefore trying to retain the muscle you have, the main 2 diet related goals you need to keep in mind is 1) eat a minimum of 1g of protein per pound of LBM (total body weight - fat weight = Lean Body Mass, LBM) and 2) make sure that you're deficit is moderate or small. Eating less than…

My thoughts exactly!

I love it! I saw it in a magazine. They called it faux tiramisu. If you get the right instant coffee, it can taste amazing! It's two servings of ricotta (124g) and a half or full scoop of the instant coffee. I'm looking for a decaf sugar free option to keep the calorie count down. If you are looking for a low sodium…

Biscoff! I could eat a whole jar of it. <3

For a protein snack, I love ricotta cheese + instant powdered coffee (any flavor, but I prefer cafe vienna).

Be careful with that method though. Sometimes not all pieces of food are the same size. Little differences add up so make sure that that doesn't happen often.

If a serving is 30g, but you weigh out want you want to eat and it comes out to 45g, then you divide your serving by the amount for one serving and you'll get your number of servings to enter into MFP. 45g/30g = 1.5 servings.

For salt and crunch I like the fried green beans (120 calories per 28g), shrimp chips (130 calories, found at an Asian grocery store by my house), veggie chips, Quest protein chips, Pringles (160 calories). I realize that these aren't saving you much (if any) calories, but I don't care for low cal stuff. I try to fit in…

I run because I feel good about just being able to do something I couldn't do in high school. I run because I like to eat a little extra on the weekends. I run because someone convinced me to sign up for another dang race. I run because I want to see what my body can do. I run to relieve stress. I run because I feel…

Be sure to incorporate some sort of progressive resistance training and eat enough protein so you can keep as much muscle as possible. Good luck! :)

This is exactly what I was going to say. :smile:

Hemp protein is a good source. Also, Body Nutrition sells a vegan protein powder called Gardenia that is tasty.

Dinner = marinated grilled chicken breast with garlic seasoned broccoli. Dessert = chocolate and cheese!

Although cutting those things out is not a requirement, I'm glad it worked for you. Congrats on your success! :smile:

I also agree that the database is whack. Here are some additional potassium sources I didn't see mentioned: Butternut squash Coconut water
