Eggbeaters are egg whites in a cardboard container. They're real food.

Yes, but then you can have second breakfast and then elevenses...

I don't, mostly because I eat a decent, varied diet and I'm healthy overall (well, outside of a 35% BF... but I'm working on that). I've read a lot of articles like this, that seem to support NOT taking vitamins unless there's a medical reason…

Adblocker keeps you safe, also from the crazy weight loss scam ads.

You should likely reconsider using these - these could be part of the problem. Get your BMR and TDEE numbers, and then eat a deficit from your TDEE _without_ eating less than your BMR. That, plus exercise, and leave the unproven quickfix weightloss gimmicks alone. If you were starving yourself (eating under your BMR) then…

I went to Wendy's last night, and the grilled chicken sandwich there isn't horrible for calories. Had I remembered, I'd have ordered it without the honey mustard, but otherwise, it was okay paired with a side salad (and half dressing... would have been swimming in sauce with the whole thing) and a diet sprite. I did share…

Vegan is not the same as Raw Vegan.

I don't eat them that often, and never at work - but they are in the freezer at home for eatmergencies... You know, when you take out the salad and its gone black, or there's some sort of time pressure. Or when I need canneloni or mac & cheese, but in a nice, sane portion size. I buy whichever brand is on sale - there's…

Yesterday, I decided to disconnect my fitbit from MFP and just go with TDEE-X% for the MFP calorie calcs. I'm male, and at 35% BF / 234 lbs, and KMcA BMR of 1862, with 2909 as the moderately active number (Fat2Fit) seems crazy high to me. I took my desired 2lbs/week (7000 calorie deficit), and I come in above my BMR at…

It's an old joke, spoilsport.

I have this issue as well, and the idea that there are muscles on the front of the shins was something of a surprise to me. The idea of stretching my CALF muscles seemed completely insane to me. I started just walking in the city - 5-10km with just my regular footwear of choice (Dr. Martens boots) which weren't a problem…

A) If you must have something with meat, or go with grilled chicken dish B) Ask if you can get a side of stir-fried bean sprouts - works in place of steamed rice C) Bok choy and garlic is awesome Most decent Chinese places will cook what you want, whether it's on the menu or not. If they don't have a grilled chicken and…

I haven't enabled the sensors for HRMs in this yet, but iRunner does have a couple weight lifting options under "Other" and it hooks up to a selection of HRMs. I've been using the free version of the app just for GPS tracking my walks, but it has a $2.99 upgrade to enable the HRM sensors.…

Egg whites. Between those and chicken, I was finally able to hit my protein numbers yesterday without killing my calories.

I weigh every day, but I really only do it out of interest. I can see the .3 or .4 of a pound up or down every day, and I can see the line on the graph is trending down, regardless of what today's numbers say right now.
-
Over? I wish. I'm mostly lucky to come within double digits of it. 151gm of protein is hard to do without blowing my calories all over the place. Though, egg whites may be the magic answer for me.

Popcorn is already too loud the way most people seem to eat it, I don't want to share a theater with someone chomping carrots.:D

A twist on the naturalistic fallacy. Just because it's "natural" doesn't make it good for you, and just because it's processed or made in a lab doesn't make it bad for you. Have a nice cup of healthy, organic, all-natural nightshade tea and try again later.

Keep this in mind when buying stevia from a banner ad on mercola.com...

For the record, anything written on mercola.com or naturalnews.com or whale.to or any of a hundred affiliated offshoots built to sell overpriced "alternatives" to overpriced Big Pharma and Big Aspartame should be treated as highly suspect information. Kevin Trudeau, Jenny McCarthy, Andrew Wakefield, Mike Adams... boatloads…

Salad recipe. I'm not sure that I've ever seen those two words together...

I think that the general guideline is; if it's sold as a weight loss aid, it's only referring to the weight of your wallet.

I know why some people try not to weigh themselves daily, but I like seeing the stats. I do try to keep the weight taking to a consistant time and circumstance; same attire, post-bathroom, shortly after getting out of bed. If it's higher, I might weigh myself in the afternoon, but so long as it's aiming for around 2lbs a…

I like salad and vegetables, so if I need to have a big pepperoni slice, I can easily finish the day off with a huge bucket of leafy greens. It's not cheating, because all the numbers still go into MFP. If I feel the need to have pizza and ice cream, that's fine too, but those are the sorts of days where I'm planning on…
