  • Kimberwolf71- exactly! What is a medium carrot?! I like to just use calorie king to find the regular things I consume by weight and enter them in as my own foods so they're always ready and easy for me to select. So, I enter everything into my foods as one oz serving. That way I put some grapes, for example, in a bowl on…
  • Hi there! For this reason, many of us MFP USERS are also likely to utilize kitchen scales for portion accuracy. Personally, I use the calorie king website to find the calories per ounce in any hard to measure or non-labeled foods like fruits and veggies. You can find the calorie count for oats, dry per ounce, add it to…
  • My absolute favorite is the Organic Whipped Earth Balance. Of his vegan, non-GMO, has a buttery taste and does NOT have any weird additives that the other brands like Smart Balance has and is non-hydrogenated. 1 TBSP=80 cal. I get this at Trader Joe's but it is not specific to there. Some Wal-Mart's carry it and I have…

I use date paste in much of my baking ( just adjust other liquids to allow for the moisture). I use in my smoothies, greek yogurt, even make date paste with…
  • Another thing I wanted to share, as I got my Nutribullet last year and lost 22 lbs, largely because of my committed use of it. I highly recommend getting a good digital kitchen scale to use during Nutriblast prep. The reason is, it is hard to log specific amounts of fresh or frozen fruits and veggies very accurately…
  • If you have a Nutribullet, you MUST get familiar with PB2!!! That is a powdered peanut butter available at most grocery stores now. 85% of the fat removed and very few calories as compared to peanut butter and still a good amount of protein for the deliciousness it provides to a Nutribullet treat! If you're easing in to…
  • Hi there! Obviously every pregnancy is different and with each one you are older than the next! However it does seem unusual to struggle with weight loss while breastfeeding, especially if you are counting your calories, are you? Being that you are expressing milk(calories) for your little one 2 times per day, you should…
