Anytime I make something with a ground meat - meatloaf, meatballs, spaghetti, etc - I chop vegetables up into it. Celery, carrots, eggplant, zucchini, etc. I try adding vegetables to as many things as possible.

You matter.

Exercise comes with adaptation which means your body will get more efficient (translation - burn less calories) as you continue doing the same thing. For this reason, I think it would be beneficial to add different treadmill workouts here and there and / or progressively increase your existing workout each week. If…

It is after the housekeeper has come. And then just gets progressively more grimy in between. I would double my housekeeping expenditures if I could because I like a clean house. We are very neat and tidy but it just gets grimy with pets that go in and out, and also shed.

Breakfast - overnight oats with blueberry, cinnamon and chia Lunch - salad with grilled shrimp and quinoa Dinner - corn on the cobb, collard greens and homemade sloppy joes (minus the bun)

I'm not sure what my max is but I can reliably work out with 95lbs.

Usually mine is geared around meal timing - so I would say to set up yours in a way that gives you what you need at the right times to get through your day

I prefer full service.

To add to that, some people find that low energy / high volume foods help with satiety. There is something called the "volumetrics" diet that focuses on this and how the stomach is a volume sensor. Worth looking into https://www.healthline.com/health/volumetrics-diet#pros-and-cons2 Rather than a fad diet, this approach…

Point is, it always comes in lower call (by a lot) than hummus

I never see them in any of my travels...but I'm mostly bicoastal. ETA: there are about 350 Schlotskys. There are even less Jason's Deli. There are over 25000 Subways.

Weird...I never make mine with mayo. It is like hummus but made from vegetables instead of legumes. Comparing the health of chickpeas versus eggplant is kind of silly. When I make it, it's virtually the same recipe, except eggplant instead of chickpeas. There's no additional oil...there's just less calories from the main…

Most people dont have Schlotzskys or Jason's Deli. They are both delicious, but relatively small local chains

Highly recommend subbing baba ganoush for hummus

That's how I make mine. I like those ratios and it's definitely low cal. I don't worry about *counting* sugar, but I'm not in love with the taste of overly sweet things on my salads.

Many people include sugar, honey, etc when they make a balsamic reduction. I have no idea how long you'd have to reduce it to get the desired texture if you DIDNT add a sugar. But for me...I just dont make it, because it is too sweet for me in general.

How's the sugar content compare? Because reduced balsamic is incredibly sweet. What's driving the viscosity of the aged balsamic? Is it sugar? Or something else.

I would love to know how they managed to do that. Was it wrapped in foie gras? ETA: ahhhhhh..its a whole meal with rice and stuff...

I satisfy fast food cravings with a simple burger and no fries. I can come in under 600 with no mayo or cheese at Steak Shack or BK.

Sorry to bother you. I guess I'll go kitten myself.

It's helpful to remember that vinaigrette has a ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part acid. So if you have 1/4 cup, that's 4 tablespoons. 3 of 4 tablespoons is likely pure oil...so you're looking at roughly 360kcal from the oil in that dressing.

Most of these high calorie meals have outrageous calorie counts because of added fat, typically in the form of cheese, sauce or dressings. You can cut so many calories on restaurant salads by omitting any croutons or tortilla strips and getting the dressing on the side. Dressing on the side allows you to have more control…

First, I want to congratulate you for coming here and making your health a priority. It is brave of you to share your goals and seek assistance. You should really be working with a specialist to get on track immediately. If I were you, I would drop everything and make an appointment to set a plan in place. Your health…

I mean, unless you just go join the Clean Eating group...

If you go through a lot of running shoes, I would recommend the VIP program at Road Runner sports. You get free shipping, lots of discounts, and you can test drive your shoes for up to 90 days. This is excellent for getting your size and fit perfect.…

I concur. On the low end (300 mi) I place lighter weight shoes that I do races and speed work in. My more sturdy trainers I place at the high end. You can track miles against your shoes with the garmin connect app.

I think the jury might still be out on this one. There's a lot of research that says (keeping intensity and duration the same) you will burn more calories and more fat in hot temps over more comfortable temps. Of course, if you live in those conditions, your body has probably adapted to some degree. I would disregard the…

Tried both. Houston is worse. Just disgusting, really. I don't recommend either.

I'd switch to a safer developer because it looks like those boxed brands are damaging your hair
