You should keep it simple: 5-9 fruits and veggies, Good proteins such as chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, (1 each meal), complex carbs such as 100% whole grain breads and pastas, brown rice, cereals, old fashioned oats. 8 -8oz glasses of…

  • It only burns more if you are running noticeable up hill, otherwise its not that much of a difference to worry about.

  • :drinker: I did my first 5K (3.1miles) last Saturday, and my time was 29:17. I was so excited. My next 5K is tomorrow and I hope to beat that time. Yesterday my time was 29:12 on my treadmill.

  • :yawn: Tiredness and sleepiness will automatically make your body strive for quick energy to stay awake, hence you will crave and want to eat carbs for that quick energy. I know that is for sure one way you can not lose or possible gain weight.

  • Why would you skip on the bread??!!! Your body needs and has to have complex carbs such as 100% whole grain bread. Don't do that to yourself.

  • Go to runningworld.com and analyze your foot and arches. This website will help you figure out what type of shoe you need. There are so many. It will tell you if you are an overpronater or a supinator and will define them for you. It is very helpful. Or you could go to a running store and let them analyze your gate. Hope…

  • The answer is yes and no. If your ALL thyroid levels are normal then you are normal and you can gain and lose weight normally. Its when the levels are off is when you have trouble either way.

  • What did you do to burn that many cals?
    in New user as of TODAY :) Comment by sonia2 March 2009
  • Its almost impossible to survive on 600 calories a day.! You need to reevaluate how you count your calories. You have to count every single pat of butter, bite, nibble, not to mention every meal. Trust me, everyone eats way more than they think.

    in Calorie Count Help Comment by sonia2 March 2009
  • A calorie is a calorie when it comes to losing weight. When it comes to being healthy, then calories are not equal.
    in I had a cheat day but I'm not sure if it's a bad thing.... Comment by sonia2 March 2009
  • I mix Kelloggs All Bran- Bran Buds with my favorite cereal such as Kashi Crunch. That way I get lots of fiber and protein to fill me up. Sometimes I sprinkle corn chex or frosted mini wheats, or multgrain cheerios in it. I also add 1/8 cup of walnuts. Add a fruit, and its a complete breakfast!

Onions, garlic, bread or cracker crumbs-1/2-3/4 cup, eggs, 1/2 can of cream of celery or mushroom, 1 tblsp butter melted. this is all combined with a 14.5 oz can of "Double Q" wild alaskan salmon. 170 calories per serving with 6-8 servings per loaf

  • I have a degree in wellness, and yes a calorie is a calorie. Losing weight means a math equation (burn more calories than you take in). That's it! BUT, not getting enough nutrients from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will over time deteriorate your body!!!!!! Plus you will feel horrible all the time. Trust me on…
