  • - Eggs. I eat hard-boiled eggs as a snack a lot. - Hot sauce. Spices. Mustard. (Anything that adds flavor without adding sugar or sodium) Oh, and salsa! Oh man I love it. Oh, and apple cider vinegar. - Plain yogurt or kefir. (Always low-sugar ones! Some of them have more sugar than ice cream!) I love yogurt so much! But…
    in What are your favorite products to include in your shopping Comment by captbaka April 2011
  • I'm a little confused. If you want to be eating more carbs, just eat carbs and less protein...? If you want carbs without eating those specific things, what about sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other starchy vegetables? Fruits have tons of carbs (though a lot of that is sugar). I personally ignore some of the suggestions…

  • Hey Jerzee, I was recently reading an interview with Ryan Reynolds, who knows a thing or two now about working out... That man has gotten in amazing shape to play 2 superheroes this year. I know he was gaining and not losing (like you and I probably both are), but the principle is the same, since he was still trying to…

  • I honestly wouldn't eat back all of them (though it depends on how much you're burning), but I would definitely have a little something like a protein shake or a low-sugar yogurt post-workout/before bed. I used to date a fitness model who swore by the "tiny bit of protein before bed" rule. It definitely worked for him ;) I…

  • It's possible that if you're cutting calories, you actually don't have enough energy... But probably, you're just sabotaging yourself before you even get started. It's all in your head. You deserve to look and feel great. You just have to do it. If losing weight was easy, everyone would look hot!

  • I know everyone's different, but this is just my two-cents. FYI: I personally am trying to cut out some carbs (especially sugar), so that may reflect my answer... For me, a great asset in the kitchen has been the kitchen scale. I'm half-Japanese, and in Japan (a country of lots of skinny women), they tend to eat about 100g…
    in low cal lunches and dinners? Comment by captbaka April 2011
  • Canned tuna, tilapia, chicken breast, and lean ground beef are great options. Also, non-fat plain Greek yogurt is roughly 120 calories with over 20 grams of protein. I also use protein powder. Cytosport Complete Cocoa Bean. One scoop is 90 calories and 16 grams of protein. Good luck! :)
