    in Basic Pasta Recipe Question - is this recipe calling for dry vs. cooked? Comment by maureenh0709 December 2014
  • I really like dessert flavoured yogurt. Danon makes Greek yogurt cups with flavours like coconut-vanilla, cherry cheesecake, caramel. 80 calories per cup. Also, most ice cream is about 120 calories per 1/2 cup so you can always budget your calories for that.

  • Neither has been working for me. I've been adding the individual ingredients to my food diary but it's a pain to not have the recipe saved for the future. Oh well, at least it sounds like I'm not the only one this has been happening to.

  • Have you asked him why he wants you to stop losing weight? If not, I suggest having a conversation about that. Encourage him to be honest and make sure you really listen.

  • More experienced users may have a different perspective but it's probably more important to focus on what you're eating rather than when you're eating. Having said that, what about trying a smoothie first thing in the morning? I know this isn't the recipe board but I thought I'd share my favourite. It's pretty high calorie…

  • Would like to echo that grapes are awesome! They help satisfy my sweet tooth. Also, if you're logging your food correctly there's no reason why you can't budget for indulging your sweet tooth.
