Today will be day 3 for me.

Nuts and string cheese

Beef Jerky!

Last week I stopped at Burger King for a treat for my kids. I packed myself a sandwich. I had pepper slices with me too. I asked for an onion ring sauce (Zesty Sauce) to dip them in. When I got home and was logging my food, I when shocked to see the sauce was 150 calories and 15 grams of fat....in that tiny little…

I like to make a pork and cabbage stir fry. Slice pork, onion and the cabbage into very thin strips. Stir fry with some low sodium soy sauce and a little sesame oil. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

I baked Tilapia last night with a roasted red pepper sauce. It was very good.

Packing your own lunch is the best way to go....and it can save you money too!

I just tried this tonight for the first time and I have to say I am not crazy about it. I ate it on celery. It didn't seem as sweet as regular peanut butter and the consistency is different...not as thick. Can you use it as a peanut butter substitute in recipes?

I make these all the time and my kids even eat them. In fact I have cauliflower boiling on the stove right now for tonight. I use Green Mountain Farms Greek Cream Cheese and Yogurt.

Today I will stay on track because it makes me feel good about myself.

I usually exercise 5 days a week.

I pretty much log everything except water and vitamins. I don't really chew gum and I don't drink coffee, pop or tea. If I am adding my own recipe, then I enter the spices but if I just add something as I am cooking (like sprinkling something on meat) I do not log those.

I like making creamy broccoli or cauliflower. I boil them until soft and mash them with Green Mountain Farms - Greek Cream Cheese. I used to just use light cream cheese but then discovered the Greek cream cheese. It is so good. Sometimes I add a little skim milk if they are too thick and maybe a bit of butter. My kids love…

I sometimes have a hard time eating back my exercise calories too. I try really hard to at least eat half back. Eating just a few nuts or a tablespoon of sunflower seeds helps add in calories without being too filling. I have only been on MFP a little over three weeks but I really like it. It really makes you think about…

Thank you!

When I am really craving something sweet, I have a Hershey kiss.

When there are multiple entries for the same food, I usually pick the one that has the most confirmations. I also check most of the calories on the packaging against what is listed on MFP. I have found a few mistakes but usually the right one is there. It just takes some searching. For exercise, I go on the treadmill…

Made this tonight for dinner. It was great!!! Thanks!

I like Skinny Cow Cheese wedges with celery or homemade blue cheese dip.

I made Santa Fe Crockpot Chicken this weekend. It was really good.

Aldi's is great! We shop there all the time. You can't beat their prices on produce. Sometime I find whole pineapples for .99 when our local grocery store is selling them for $3.99. The same for cantalopes. I really like the Fit and Active Mozzarella sticks and Sandwich Skinnys too.

McDonalds- Grilled BBQ Chicken Wrap Burger King- Tendergrill Chicken Sandwich with no mayo...I ask for BBQ sauce

Hi, I am new on here too and am having same issues as you. I don't have a lot of advice to offer but you are not alone with what you are experiencing. I am having trouble reaching my calorie goals while not going over fat and carbs. Sure I could eat the caloires in high fat food but I am trying to eat healthier and the…
