Medjool dates are the way to go - they are rich and caramel-y, but 65-70 cals apiece! The BJ's near me sells a pound of them for less than $10, and Wegmans usually has them in the bulk section.

Instead of honey or brown sugar in my oatmeal, I use molasses.

I second the Vegetarian Times recommendation - you can sign up for their e-mail newsletter for weekly ideas. Also, several cuisines - Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian - have a lot of vegetarian dishes that are delicious and will keep you full.

I find that a couple mugs of strong coffee in the morning helps to - ahem - get things moving...

I eat a primarily (though not 100%) vegetarian diet, and I usually have the following on hand: Dried beans - lentils, chickpeas Frozen veggies - Wegmans has some for 99 cents a bag Greek yogurt Cottage cheese Eggs Fruit - fresh and dried Homemade peanut butter Oats Nuts - usually almonds Feta cheese Canned tomatoes

Butter - not too much, but butter.

Frozen grapes and frozen watermelon are awesome! I also like to throw some apricot halves under the broiler for a few minutes, then top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkling of dried fruit. Almonds and medjool dates are also some of my go-to snacks.

I had Saucony Hurricanes for years, but switched to Brooks Trance fairly recently. I have high arches and pronate inward so sometimes it's tricky to find a shoe with the right support.

I strongly recommend getting a heart rate monitor. The calorie readouts on gym equipment can be waaaay off.

I was 5'9" when I got my driver's license at 16, but then I lost about 40 pounds and was 5'11" when I was measured my senior year of high school. Age 28, 5'11" but lost more weight - and my driver's license still says 5'9" because I'm too lazy to get a doctor's note to change it! :tongue:

Yep, I have a Polar HRM and it's one of the best things I've bought! It's great to get an accurate caloric burn for my height/weight/age rather than rely on estimates - sometimes they're way off.
