whole wheat pasta from scratch with fresh vegetable sauce (tomato based this time because I have a jar of passata)... cooking some Italian sausages for the meat eaters in the house but I think I will skip it in mine. Not the lowest calorie meal, but I'm working outside today, and doing the 30DS, and I didn't eat much this…

Try the tazo green tea (they sell it at starbucks) Iy has something like lemongrass and mint... I can't stand green tea, but I could drink that stuff all day! I don't drink coffee mostly because of what I want to add to it

night cravings are generally more a habit than hunger... I try not to eat after dinner, it just doesn't serve me well. Try to replace the habit of eating with a different habit; have a hot bath, a cup of tea, a yoga video, a walk, a came of cards; even food prep for the next day... just something that can be repetitive. if…

we call beer "man flowers" since why would I guy him flowers, he'd much prefer a six pack of man flowers

i would guess around 140 calories like most wine and beer because alcohol metabolizes into sugar... I'm an over estimator though... so i would just put it in as a beer.

unflavored whey protein mixed with water tastes like semen

i don't even LIKE ketchup, but i love ketchup chips... although i'm Canadian too,

^^that

funny how she posts paleo options, but not alternate proteins for vegetarians

I neither agree nor disagree... I did however see a neighbor running on a treadmill yesterday with her garage door open for air. It was sunny out, but not hot, and we live RIGHT next to a regional trail that is VERY flat, VERY smooth and PERFECT for running. I know she has a thousand kids (at least that's what it looks…

here is my best cookie tip ever. make a batch, roll into flat balls (like as if you areabout to bake them) freeze them on a cookie sheet, place in a freezero bag in the freezer, bake one at a time as desired. i find if i put them in a cold oven, they will thaw out as the oven heats up. they take a few extra minutes to bake

you could also try just cutting the meat down a little... when I make stuff like jambalaya, I use less sausage than required - and I use turkey sausage... make sure it's full of beans and veggies.

I eat vegetarian quite often, but I don't eat soy... I can recommend chana masala as a delicious chickpea curry... I like black bean burgers... they leave you lots of room for exciting toppings in your bun... I just love refried beans, I could eat them every day. There are reasons not to eat too much soy... they phyto…

great tips! I don't know exactly what this job will entail in the long run. I should be able to pack my own food when I go over to the office, and there was a lot of restaurants around there, so I know I can find the better choices (there is a vegetarian place right there, I kind of chickened out and went the comfort…

anyone?

I'm 100% with you on this thought. prepackaged = bad. That's the hard part about this... it's easy to eat at subway, because almost every sandwich combination is in the database... it's WAY easier to pick 6" turkey on flatbread no cheese light mayo over 2 slices of bread brand x, 30 grams of deli sliced turkey breast, 1/4…

wow! you are die hard. I don't think that will ever fit into my lifestyle... power to you though!

our standard order (for the two of us) sashimi appetizer - basically pieces of raw fish tuna and salmon unagi roll - bbq eel. SO nom dynamite roll - tempura shrimp and roe Yam roll - I went a long time eating sushi and never had a yam roll, totally regret that. spicy tuna roll, or tuna, or salmon - just raw fish and rice…

yea I guess, no excuses. It's almost 9 and i'm still busy "getting home" (dog out and fed) it's only 20 minutes!

have you ever heard of geocaching? We go to the most crazy places almost every day looking for hidden treasure.

I wore my job interview clothes today and they were WAY better fitting than 20 lbs ago for sure!

I was at my mom's house, not a restaurant (yea the butter chicken was takeout)... but it wasn't my food, I didn't feel like looking like a goober measuring. I'm fo sho not lugging a food scale with me. lol My job might be taking me on the road sometimes and eating out will not be a choice, but a necessity... I don't want…

When I get into my healthy bmi, people start to accuse me of being too skinny, and ask if I'm on drugs (seriously!!!). BMI can kiss my butt. At 160 lbs (0.6 above the healthy weight line) I have been to my doctor and been told by a physical exam, "you must work out regularly, you have the heartrate and bloodpressure of a…

this looks like a 984 calorie recipe to me... maybe 492 if I decide to share. NOM

someone I know made these and said they were terrible,

I also think ceviche is kick-*kitten*... not terribly hard to do if you can find fresh fresh fish

my favorite way to cook delicate fish (read anything but salmon and halibut) sauté onions and whatever yummy veggies you want however you want to do it. (mushrooms, asparagus, onions, garlic, scapes, spinach, chard, kale,... in a little bit of oil of choice. Place frozen (or fresh I guess) fillets on top of the sauted…

I would just freeze the rest or make some pie, jam or some other sweet

if you are doing yoga, pilates, or cardio based workouts, you can do those every day... you should at least switch muscle groups day to day, but there is no real reason to take a whole day off...

I spent the day outside in a t-shirt gardening, not ALL of Canada is cold! Vancouver Island here!
