Hi I'm Christina. I live in New Zealand and have been on mfp for the past year or so.

Depends on your definition of healthy really. For breakfasts I like chia seed pudding as it is full of healthy fats and keeps me full! 1/4 cup chia seeds 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut or almond milk 1t honey or other sweetener (if required) 100g approx blueberries 1t cocoa powder (optional) Just mix it all together and leave…

The budget brand bread is much lower cal than say Freyas or Ploughmans, so you could look into using that for the bread component. Love a good toastie. Baked beans and cheese mmmm. Or spaghetti and cheese! Creamed corn and cheese is great too... basically anything with cheese! I haven't seen the butter spray that was…

We don't have coffee creamer here in NZ so I use milk in my coffee. If I want it flavoured then I will add an extract, flavoured syrup (hazelnut mmmmm) or a spice. Almond milk works well as well and is rather tasty.

I have a flipping shift as well... 2 days and 2 late shifts both being 10 1/4 hours and then 2 night shifts at 8 1/4 hours. I then get 4 days off and repeat. It is hard because your body is in a constant state of confusion regarding eating times and sleeping times. I'm exhausted all the time but I have to fight through.…

I make things but in smaller portions. I second the mini muffin tin idea. I make mini muffins in large batches and then freeze them. I save the recipe on here with the serving size set to one muffin and then I can log it easily. I do the same with cookies and just make them smaller. This has the bonus of being able to have…

If I eat too soon before exercising I end up feeling like I'm going to vom or I actually do vom. Definitely a personal preference though. I need at least an hour between eating and exercising in the gym but can get away with like half an hour if I'm swimming or aqua jogging.

I only eat breakfast when I am on day shift for my job because I have to be up around 5:30am to be ready at work for 6:45 start. This is because otherwise I am ready to eat my arm by lunchtime. I have day shift twice every ten days, so j have breakfast twice every ten days. Otherwise it's just lunch and dinner with some…

I had physio for a year before they sent me to a specialist. The specialist moved my knee around a bit and made me tense my muscles while putting pressure on the joints. It took all of 10 mins. He then said he was sending me for an MRI because he suspected a medial miniscus tear. He was spot on. I ended up having 1/3 of it…

I'm 5' 8", 23 years old and currently weigh 101.2kgs. Goal weight is 65 O.O I am really only just starting back at this after being in a slump for ages. I'm taking it slower this time around. Aiming for a loss of .5kg per week which seems doable.

Hitting over 100kg... I couldn't believe how badly I had let myself go. Been fluctuating around this mark for a while now and I am going to dip below it and further this time!

They sell reduced fat puff pastry at supermarkets near me, but I'm in NZ so that may not be much help haha. I have made lower cal sausage rolls by subbing half sausage meat for lean mince, and bulking out the mix with grated and finely cut veggies like onion, carrot, and zucchini. Pretty tasty and really helps with sausage…

Stuffed cabbage leaves! Delish :D
-
I'll put it with anything in the fridge tbh. It's good on toast with jam or banana, out of the tub with a spoon, mixed with tuna for a salad... Basically chuck it anywhere. Mix it through mash, Smear it in sandwiches, eat with cut up fruit... Once I even made a lower fat cheese sauce from cottage cheese. I blended up some…

Tricky situation, and I'm sure there will be a few responses to this. I measure it out and log it fully if using oil normally. If I use spray oil I often forget to log it. To me I think it evens out as I don't always use all the oil I measure, and I sometimes remember to try and add in the spray oil. You could always try…

Also plain yoghurt with blueberries (fresh or frozen) is my fave <3.

Try mini snack sized cucumbers. Delicious and healthy. If you didn't want one by itself you could have it with some hummus (also easily portable if you put it in a small container!). Carrots and pretty much any veggie you enjoy raw would work as a snack as long as you have cut it up previously and have it ready in the…

Mac and cheese... yuck!

We spend between $100 and $120 but this frequently lasts closer to two weeks. I would approximate $120 every 10 days or so. This is about 60 pounds according to the interwebs :) We get plenty of fresh fruit and veggies from a coop, but we grow our own salad leaves. We spend probably 1/3 of our budget on meat, whatever is…

So rude. Maybe you do not have back to back classes every day but there are people in the world who do. I do. Not 8 and a half hours worth, true, but 9-4 most days with half an hour to an hour lunch break at some point. Yes the OP needs to sort out timing for their workouts etc. but that is why they have this post! To the…
