Bump...no one?

Looked at your diary and went back a couple days. The whoppers aren't really any different than what you've been eating other days. I'm guessing McCallisters is some sort of fast food place? Sandwiches with mac and cheese? You shouldn't label this or any food as "bad." Think about your relationship with food a little bit…

I just did this and they are sending me two bars. Thanks for the tip @Confuzzled4ev

OP stands for Original Poster. Stats are your height, weight, age. I think at your weight the 700 is a good enough estimate.

Not at her weight. OP, stats are very important when trying to estimate these things so it could help to have them in your post.

There are lots of calculators out that that can give you an average burn. In general MFP tends to overestimate calories burned. But, if you are very heavy (450 lbs? took a peek at your profile) and get your heart rate up to those levels then 700 calories for half an hour is a good rough estimate. Congratulations on taking…

And open your diary

Change your workout regime. What are you currently doing?

I made myself a spreadsheet that gives me a two week look at things, with room for a shopping list and a place for me to list all the current veggies I have at home and stuff in the freezer. I have a food saver so I will buy things in bulk and freeze portions. I also write down stuff with its expiration date (like…

Because people who have dedication to something scare others because it makes them feel bad about themselves. If they can convince themselves that everyone else is crazy then they can sleep better at night. I bought a small fridge for my office so that I can keep stuff there and weigh it in my office. I plan on bringing my…

I used to not be too hungry in the mornings until i started eating reasonable dinner portions. Once I got my dinner portions under control and normal, I was always hungry in the morning. Are you having problems with night binges? That being said, do what works best for you.

Don't know what part of the country you live in but here in San Diego our mexican restaurants have fish tacos. Get grilled ones on corn tortillas and ask for any white sauce on the side so that you can control how much you put on. Just as good with pico de gallo and no white sauce too. Stay away from the chips and salsa…

I have spent a fair amount of time weighing bread, and it seems that the end caps almost always weigh more (usually about 1.5 slices of bread, up to 2 sometimes) and the slices in the middle are usually spot on. If you use the same brand of bread often, over time it is easy to pick out which slices may weigh more (or less…

I still don't think that is enough with the amount that you are exercising. How is your menstral cycle (only if you are off bc pills since those regulate your hormones for you) It could be an allergy though to cause the bloating.

Is your diary accurate? If so, please get yourself to a nutritionist/doctor. You should NOT be eating 600 calories per day and exercising the amount that you are. Your body will revolt against you and you won't meet your goals in any healthy sense.

I looked back through a little over a week of your diary. You aren't eating much. Are you weighing your food? What are your stats? (height, weight, etc) When you are eating only 800-1200 calories most days (not recommended, you should be eating more) you can't be getting 200 of those calories from dessert type items like…

Have you lost your baby weight or are you still above it? I found that breastfeeding was helpful in getting off a lot of the baby weight 9and shrinking the uterus) but not so good at any additional weight. Often your body will hold on to it until you are done breastfeeding. After glancing at your diet I would suggest…

gonna try

I usually eat them in the morning before my 5:30 workout, then eat a smallish breakfast when I am done. I have found that I have more energy when I eat them vs when I don't. Yummy flavors so try them all to find the ones you like. Also try them cold and also warmed up in the microwave a bit (like 10 seconds or so).

This looks good. skinnytaste.com has a recipie for baked cheese spagetti squash with spinach. it is so good i could eat the whole pan. y'all should check it out.

bump to try

I know you didn't ask for this, but here it goes. I think you are asking the wrong question. Are you trying to lose weight or be healthy for the rest of your life? You will probably lose weight at the rate you are going, and I don't know what you are doing for exercise, but you need to eat some veggies, lean proteins, etc.

Looking at your ticker you started at 240 lbs. So yes, the advice you got when you were that heavy is going to be different than the advice you get now. What is your eventual goal weight? I would think you are probably there or even less than it. Body recomposition is completely different than just losing weight. Do you…

I looked back too....you need to eat more. People are telling you this because it is true. Who eats one oz of pasta and one oz of sauce for dinner???? My one year old eats more than that. Eat some yogurt, cheeses, vegetables. Special K cereal bars are NOT good for you. They have too much sugar and not a lot of anything…

For looking things up I really like the website http://nutritiondata.self.com They have the calories for items uncooked, cooked, with salt, without, and at all different portion sizes. I tend to weigh my food raw and then add all the things i cooked it with separately.

Read the ingredient list. The almonds are roasted in canola and or safflower oil. The extra calories most likely come from there.

Tropicana makes a low acid orange juice. my husband has bad acid reflux and he is able to drink that without any problems. I drink tea or water.

I asked a family member (that I had never met, so she only knows me from now) for a diet soda and she asked why on earth I would drink diet. Woo-hoo

Will try since I am addicted to Quest bars.. Anyone know what gives the Quest bars so much fiber?

Do you want to see your family? If so, go. it is a restaurant. There will be sides and salads. I know many vegetarians that go to steakhouses. Don't make a big production out of your food choice. Are you using being a vegetarian as an excuse to not hang out?
