I want to know why someone is making such an issue over having to pay more for GF items at an ASIAN restaurant where many of the dishes are already made with RICE and, therefore, GF in the first place!

Macaroni and Cheese Casserole with Ham--lower fat version of the original recipe and baked in individual servings for better portion control Maple Glazed Chicken Breast with a side of roasted baby potatoes Beef Kabobs with Grilled Pitas and a Side Salad Salmon Steak with Baby Zucchini and Roasted Potatoes

Like the previous poster said, any soup with a clear broth is a safe bet. Also, any grilled or steamed vegetables, grilled meats, and boiled or steamed (not fried) rice are good choices. And of course a fortune cookie is only about 25 calories. Also try to remember that this is only ONE meal and one meal isn't going to…

My husband has this same problem to the extent that it can clear a room. I, thankfully, do NOT!

Even though both my refrigerator and freezer could stand to be organized and cleaned out I'm gonna post pics of both since I really don't care if anyone judges me or not! :)

Even though I used to weigh close to 400 lbs, I have to agree that food is NOT physically addictive in the same way that heroin, alcohol, and even nicotine or caffeine are. It IS, however, totally possible to develop a psychological DEPENDENCY on food as a means of coping. At the risk of opening up an entirely different…

I have made this same wonderful discovery about freezing leftover pizza, but my reheating has all been done in the microwave, which is not the best method. Would you please share your reheating instructions using the conventional oven? Thanks!

I've lost close to 200 lbs since September 2013. The ticker on my profile says I've lost 184 lbs, but it is probably more than that since I haven't weighed myself since last November. Most people do weigh themselves once a week, but that wouldn't work for me since I need to see more of a loss than 2 or 3 lbs to stay…

If I was planning to go back to sleep then I would probably log the snack on Friday. But there really isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to do it since whether you lose, gain, or maintain weight has more to do with averages than anything else!

Yesterday when I took my dog to the vet the receptionist there said she wouldn't have known who I was if she didn't recognize my dog!

I've always wondered why the meanest people were also the most popular back in high school! Most of my friends were girls like you who tried (and failed) at teaching me how to have the "I'll cut ya" attitude when dealing with the in-crowd! Regardless of whether she was ever mean to you or not, I still think it is GREAT…

This NSV is, in my opinion, even better if the former classmate in question was one of the so-called "mean girls" at your high school!

I had to show my driver's licence (which I have NOT changed since losing nearly 200 lbs.) on Christmas eve when picking up a prescription. The pharmacist did NOT think it was my ID at first! :D

Fast Food Options Wendy's chili----small = 180 calories, large = 270 calories Subway----anything on the Fresh Fit menu Chick-Fil-A---grilled chicken cool wrap, grilled chicken nuggets Taco Bell----grilled chicken or grilled steak soft tacos...just make sure to order it FRESCO style **These are just the things that I would…

I do not have any kids and I knew even as a 5 year old that I never wanted any. Through the years people kept telling me I would change my mind...guess they were WRONG!

I don't add extra calories into my daily total, but I do eat fewer calories than MFP recommends to account for things like trace calories and and frozen entrees that likely contain a larger portion than what is stated on the packaging!

I agree that there are too many rumors about aspartame and other foods too. Like you said SOME people may have a problem with it, but that doesn't mean that EVERYONE will. And I did find the link to the information I mentioned earlier regarding the safety of aspartame! :smile:…

47Jacqueline----the Equal package actually says that a packet contains ZERO calories even though it does not because they are legally allowed to say that anything with less than 5 calories has NONE. elphie754----I actually read recently (sorry I don't the link immediately available, but will try to find it again) that…

It never stopped raining here so I decided to wait until tomorrow to search out liquid sweetener options! I also like Splenda/sucralose in the packets so if I can't find one with aspartame then I will most likely try one with sucralose. I did NOT like Truvia (stevia) when I tried that in the packets, so I think I will…

LOL! I guess you could say I like a little coffee with my sweetener!

YIKES!!!! I'm glad I asked and also glad that I increased my exercise level dramatically around the same time I started drinking coffee so the effect of the extra calories I've consumed thus far should be minimal since until now I didn't think I was eating back any exercise calories.' That is FABULOUS advice and I plan to…

I have chocolate everyday too....the secret is to keep it in the FREEZER! :)

Unfortunately I don't have time to cook much these days so I don't really have any specific recipes to share, but I do eat a mostly vegetarian diet. According to my doctor and two different registered dieticians a person doesn't need to eat nearly as much protein as the USDA recommends we eat. As long as you are eating an…

^^^^^THIS!!^^^^^

The worst divorce horror story has to be the movie "The War of the Roses!"

Congratulations on getting in to the smaller size! FYI the "W" after the 24 does not stand for wide, it stands for womens. :smile:

I am wondering why there are pasta dishes on what is supposed to be a gluten free menu?!? If I were trying to eat something interesting there that was gluten free and had no concerns about the calorie count (I wish!) then I would probably go for the Shepard's Pie! :smile:

Chicken wings don't have many calories at all as long as they aren't fried, breaded, or doused in a fattening sauce. They are white meat which is less fattening than dark meat, and there is very little meat on a wing to begin with. The only really fattening part would be the skin which is usually not removed from wings.…

Probably not since I'm old enough to be his mother.
