Basically oatmeal, just the type of oatmeal is rolled oats. There are several types, quick cooking, instant, rolled, and steel cut. Just different types of processing.

Breakfast - One Serving of Rolled oats and a Fuji Apple Lunch - Either a Cobb salad or chicken bowl with rice and veggies Dinner - Big bowl with 1.5 servings of brown rice, steam veggies, steam boneless chicken breast.

I am currently struggling with a eating disorder and its not fun at all. I am trying to maintain weight, but it ends up going down more than I want every time because I'm scared to gain weight. I exercise a lot, I mean a lot. I burn an avg of 1500-2000 cals per day working out due to depression, its the only thing that…

Monday through Friday. I eat a bowl of oatmeal, either steel cut or quick cooking oats. Cinnamon, brown sugar. One apple, and some boiled eggs. I literally never get tired of oatmeal, I could eat it all day if I wanted to. Then I load up on coffee, I have a unhealthy obsession with coffee. On the weekends I usually always…

I love quiona just as much as I love rice. I don't really think its that calorie intensive, just limit your portions.

I just take potassium supplements or drink coconut water when I'm low on it. I can really tell when I'm low on potassium because I start getting leg cramps after running/walking extensively which freaking hurt.

I've read so much about white versus brown rice, how one might be healthier for you, etc etc. I personally eat both, I just mix it up every now and then, I also eat quiona on occasion, whatever I feel like putting in the rice cooker that week. You can lose weight theoretically by eating any food, just eat less calories…

Guess you can call me lazy. I buy boiled eggs pre peeled and ready to eat from Costco. They sell a whole bunch for cheap.

Just throwing this out there. In my experience and from what I've read, the Force and Flex haven't been as accurate as the Zip or One.

If you are trying to gain muscle mass, you don't just have to worry about protein. You need to balance protein, fat and carbs which are the building blocks for nutrition. Protein is very important, but make sure not to cut out the other stuff. I would research it on Google, there is specific protein needs every person…

I just wish people would focus on trying to be as healthy as they can so we can lower healthcare issues.

The only thing you can do is keep trying exercising and keep a routine. Don't stop just because you feel like giving up, you can make positive changes in your life, you just have to believe you can and make it possible.

I personally think paleo is a fad diet that just makes people eat less bad foods, like many fad diets. I don't want to get the paleo hate train going or anything, the diet works for some people. What I've always been told is you need to balance carbs, fats and protein with every meal, any diet that cuts out a portion of…

For every action there is a consequence. I can't tell you not to do it and I can assure you it won't be the end of the world if you go over your count. But look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you really want to mess up what you've worked so hard for. Is it worth it? Is there anyway you can burn off what…

Coffee is good for the body, its just moderation you need to control. I personally drink coffee all day, I know its a problem, but I am quite addicted to caffeine and its hard to stop. I usually drink coffee going to work, drink coffee around snack time, and have ice coffee after working out. I drink lots of water to…

Coffee, Peanut Butter, Bread, Eggs, Salsa, Chicken, Ground turkey

Never go off what a machine says you are burning in calories, they are highly inaccurate.

Today was quiona, veggies, guacamole, and learn ground turkey.

Pho is VERY HIGH in sodium, its really salty stuff. Getting past that, it contains tons of carbs due to the white rice noodles which adds to higher calories. Depending on what kind of broth the pho place is using, it can be really fatty beefy broth which will have tons of fats and oils. I would wager that a small bowl of…

Like everyone else says. Cold turkey Soda now, do not wait. Just stop buying it, refuse to even think about it.

Only way you will find out is by measuring your lean muscle mass and body fat. Hard to say if you gained muscle or fat, it all depends on how you were eating.

I pulled my back out while working about 4 years ago and had a massive lower back spasm. My back has never been the same at all. Every couple of months, I will undergo another back muscle spasm which literally kills me with pain. When I go to the doctor, all they do is throw pain killers and somas at me, which does nothing…

Check out the couch to 5k program, it really helps a lot of people. I personally always hated running in school, because I was so slow. After just walking around and getting my step count up, I realized one day that I could literally jog and jog for miles without stopping because I became so fit and in shape. I begin to…
