I guess the red makes me nervious :)). If I don't have to worry bout it, then I won't. I also have started eating a lot more greek yogurt (I had never ate it before). I have lost what appears to be about 2-3 pounds. I will know more in a week.

I don't eat any fast food honestly. Alot of the sodium is from stuff like tortillas, organic potstickers, etc. Can you not see WHAT I eat? Thats rough if you can't because it doesn't accurately portray what I'm eating. Portabella burgers, greek yogurt, wheat bread are some sources of the sodium honestly.

Uhhh really? Like where...except for today most of it is stuff like tortillas and the like...The 23rd was my cheat day so yeah...that has some bad stuff. I don't have time to make everything from scratch, it's called a career...

It's extremely difficult for me to even touch 2000 since most stuff is high in sodium and other trash. I can only eat so much rice and what not...some suggestions would be more helpful

It's been almost 3 weeks now, could someone give me some feedback? Thanks

I adjusted it to 4:3:3. I have invested in more protein (lentils, rice, etc)

The pork had not sauces (some spices, but nothing worth mentioning - a bit high in salt but otherwise nothing). Nearly everything I use is counted. What should I not be afraid of eating?

Yeah, I realize the sodium thing, didn't know what I was eating had that much sodium ( I am being more careful). It's hard to eat that much lol, that's why I am asking for help. My fiance is a worse than me http://www.myfitnesspal.com/lonilee Any advice will help.

I'm having quick oats ( what i had on hand) and 2tbps of flaxseed...yum. It went with my 3 eggs + whole wheat english muffin!!! Awesome breakfast won't be hungry until lunch!

Could you recommend some foods to eat? It's hard to eat healthy and get the caleries. Like I said, my girlfriend is having a huge issue with that right now haha. We're having to search for some food and get ready to goto sleep, we hate eating before bed. ANY tips would be awesome! What should we NOT be afraid of (sugar,…

My girlfriend is having an even harder time eating here intake due to exercise...she right now is like 900 under...http://www.myfitnesspal.com/lonilee please help us:( - she is 22, 5'2, 165lb with light activity. 1600 as in base 1200 - exercise + exercise difference. So If exercise was 400, that's 400 additional i'd eat. I…

Biggest issue is, actually getting that many...I don't really have enough to eat 2k haha...Would 1500-1600 minus exercise be a good starting point?

the 1200 was what the system recommended, thought it was a bit weird:| I don't EAT 1200, I end up with more like 1500 due to exercise. Please see my diary for more info.

Any ideas on my question @jsl_mfp? thanks

What I find is nice, are these chikn burgers, they are around 100 caleries and are really good. Chopped up and put into a wheat tortilla they make a good snack and are very healthy to boot or if you want a more savory approach Goodness Knows are good too (from what I can read from the nutritional facts and ingredients)

I'm in the same boat actually. I am 24, 230lb, 5'6, mix between lazy and moving (the first two options haha but lately working on being more moving and walking), my profile has my diary (some stuff I messed up on but I'm learning). I would like to know if 1200 is right for me, trying to lose 15-30 pounds (more would be…

I have updated my last 2 days. I have bought a few new things I found at this amazing place called trader joes:P - PS: I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS THAT MUCH SODIUM IN THE DINNER (some 500 caleries...pfft), THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN:(( Fluxseed with blueberries Many new foods with no nasty stuff Unsweeted tea that is actually…

@Touji A few things: First thank you for a lot of helpful information. In regards to the hydrolyzed vs non...Many studies have come back to show these as bad and I know what the chemistry behind it is (I know more about the working of food than I really need to). - To be clear, no form of offense was intended in this,…

The soy and almond milk have plenty of calcium and what not. They taste great too! I also don't like what is in the milk that you can't control, so with that I am being more proactive. I will probably adopt almond milk vs soy since large soy intake has been traced to some diseases. Its difficult to plan meals because I…

Ok, so my basic idea for dinners is a meat (chicken, pork or turkey maybe veggie or soy burger), rice + 1 veggie(or mix) or no rice and a mix of veggies but I will look into this more. I think with almond/soy milk we will get more in the way of the health benefits - she likes greek yogurt, so she can keep eating that since…

I'm planning to add an hour a day (mall). Should I walk then eat or eat then walk? :) Thanks

Yeah, I don't do anything fat-free and what not. They are all chemicals. Our biggest issue is eating during the day in general. We have found most if not all bars like kashi and such have canola oil (which is nothing but artifical oil realistically), so what can we eat to replace it? I was considering making my own protein…
