You're doing great! If you click your name at the top of the web site page, where it says "Hi,______", you can see your ticker there. Keep on keepin' on!

Eat the pizza! Budget your daily calories.

1 bag of microwave popcorn and a Miller Lite (386 cals). Great with a ball game on. A banana (100 cals) with a teaspoon of peanut butter on every bite (about 9 teaspoons = 3 tablespoons = 285 cals) Yum! (385 all together).

How about tuning up the ridiculous food search function.

I too prescribe to the school of thought that it doesn't matter. However, you could tell the "trainer" that eating before redirects blood flow to the digestive system and away from muscles that need strong circulation during the workout. Just more "bro-science." :)

Sciatica. At 5 miles I'm crippled.

Pick a Monday and decide that that is the wall. Eat everything your heart desires right up to Sunday night but know that on Monday morning it's full GAME ON!

For me, I find that if I eat too late it makes me "feel" more hungry in the morning. I also believe that WHEN you eat has NO bearing on your metabolic schedule. OP, I think you must also realize that Jillian is obviously speaking to an average audience of folks that work the basic banker's hours.

Egg White Delight and a large black coffee. Ok, so I'm lazy in the kitchen.

30 min. strength 30 min. cardio

I'm a notorious "fast food" eater. 3 crunchy tacos w/o cheese from Taco Bell (140 cals each) or a 6 inch turkey sub from Subway (330 cal). Two McDonald's grilled chicken snack wraps w/o cheese (210 cals each) and throw in a couple bags of sliced apples (15 cals each) to top it off.

Sigma on Amazon. Stop watch and HRM, $40.

I love my bike, stationary bike and elliptical machines for low impact cardio. Knee problems and squats scare me a bit. Not to say it's not possible. Go light at first. Very light. maybe no weights at all.

Not if you account for its calories (and macros if you're a healthy).

Love mine. Wear it everywhere but the shower. I can get a little "funky" if you don't keep it dry. Had to move my watch to the right arm to get the Flex to my non-dominant left. It had occured to me how many steps I was accruing just brushing my teeth. ;>)

I especailly like to do this when I'm going to a new restaurant. I'll research on-line before I go, decide what I'm going to order and log it. That helps to keep me honest to myself.

Dealer's choice. I'm trying to build some muscle tone (lifting heavy) so I make sure I'm back filling with some good protein calories.

Follow progam

For me at 173 lbs, a 3 mile run or 50 minutes on the staionary bike or 4 miles on the eliptical all hit 500 cals easily. I generally try to go beyond that in my current condition.

Oh yes!!

No. I did too. This is easy.

For just 550 calories you can have the real thing.

Over time you get pretty good at estimating size. I've even been at the grocery store and looked at the various size cuts and noted their weights, trying to commit them to memory (what little I have). Like another poster mentioned, understand what a 4 oz peice looks like and try to figure how many of those you have on your…

@poorchini "I really like the Body Fortress - Super Advanced Whey Isolate - Vanilla Creme. Its 130 calories, 1g carb, 30g of protein per scoop! About $20 at most stores. They had it at walmart and the local Meijer. Oh, and I mix it with unsweetened almond milk." That's a hoot. I just did this 5 minutes ago. It was great!…

I can see, you have the EYE OF THE TIGER!

This!

Male 5' 9" 171 run 5 miles x5 per week lift heavy, 30 min x5 per week 1800 net calories (eat back cals) maintaining

Too much like chocolate and not enough of anything else. Why not just suck down chocolate syrup?

I let the FitBit figure all that out for me.

BEER?
