I, apparently, am one of those people. :) I DO realize that 430 for a granola bar with almonds and raisins IS a little different than 430 for a Little Debbie snack, but that's still a LOT of calories. I know that calories are not the ONLY measure of healthy vs. unhealthy but counting calories works best for me because…

Yeahhhhhhhh...I read the other people's replies too and realize I MAY have posted this a bit too quickly, and without thinking about it. :) I just edited it a bit. I guess for me, the more surprising thing was that it was a "snack" - My snacks are typically half that in calories and just as high in protein and fiber. I…

I just thought I'd share because FOR ME, 427 calories is a meal, not a "snack", no matter how healthy it is. It's almost the exact same as the Little Debbie treat, but I doubt that anyone would argue that the Little Debbie is better for you. I agree that there are DEFINITELY worse things out there, but it would hardly be a…

Yep - That's a pretty accurate number, but and it doesn't even necessarily include organic food The farmers market I went to had fresher food, but it was no different price wise than Whole Foods (which was not as expensive as I thought).

I'm hoping you get a few more recommendations - I am only having a juice for breakfast/lunch and with that and my two healthy "at work snacks", that comes to about $57/week just for me. I haven't had a chance to go to the Farmers Markets, but from what I understand, they aren't THAT much cheaper - They just are fresher.…

I am having a juice every day but not “fasting”. I PERSONALLY don’t agree with juice fasts and definitely know that it won’t do me any good – I started having a juice because I struggle to eat breakfast and I don’t like many veggies (and therefore, don’t eat NEARLY enough of them). I started just last week and planned on…

I COMPLETELY understand - I was going great too...Down almost 50 pounds. Then Christmas and a move across the country happened, then we were getting settled in, and I'm just starting to get back with it. I gained back about 30 pounds but I've lost 9 again. You can do it!!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I knew I could add the exercise but I had NO idea how to even guess the calories. I MAY have to invest in a heart rate monitor - Probably wouldn't be a bad idea anyway. Thank you both!
