I would have definitely grilled them had I had access to a grill. Even lightly. I'd only do this though if you don't plan to have leftovers, otherwise I think they'll get TOO soggy.

I also haven't gone since Friday. I had a massive bought of going, sorry if it's TMI. I had been eating grapes all week. This was followed by a weekend of the worse stomach pain I've ever had. I could barely eat. It finally eased up on Monday. I've been trying to gradually up my fiber again but have been going light on the…

I wanted to add that I had the leftovers today and they're even better than yesterday. The mushroom really had the chance to soak in the liquids and begin to soften.

Thank you! =) I do a lot of cooking like this but never have the time to actually write anything up, but thought my fellow MFP food enthusiasts would enjoy this.

Lifting weights and working out is the one thing that keeps me sane. However as much as I think I'd like to use them, half of the battle would be getting to the gym. Once there, I'd kick my *kitten* into working hard. I am afraid that with them being at home, I'll wimp out and give up, or wont work as hard because I didn't…

That would be great, but unfortunately my parents dont have that kind of money. There is a gym that's right in town, a few blocks from my house. It's an all women's gym. It's a 70 dollar investment fee and 30 a month after that, but I could walk there. They do have weird hours as it's a small place, but also a lot more…

I can't really afford 40 dollars a month. I thought about biking to the gym every time I want to use it. There is one closer, but it's a Planet Fitness, and because they're only 10 dollars a month, the place is like hell on earth...

I completely understand what you mean and how you feel. I'm at my heaviest jumping between 135 - 140. Last summer I was weighing 119-125. I don't know how this extra weight snuck in but I believe it has something to do with drinking a lot of alcohol and not watching what I eat as much. However, as much as I get upset…

Instead of wraps, I just have salad. Instead of my toast or english muffin with my breakfast, I would make omelettes or scrambles that were filling enough without it. On days I bike, I may still eat a bagel with peanut butter, but otherwise I've drastically tried to cut back on my carbs. Order veggie burgers without the…

Thanks everyone for the input! As a bit of my own background, I got into biking last spring when I got a cheap 25 dollar bike on the side of the road. I put about 200 dollars into it and it became my way of getting around. I live in an urban area, so every day I'd just run errands on my bike. At minimum it was 2 miles a…

We ride fixed gears here, so it's always pedaling. It's even more strenuous because you can't shift gears while going up and down hills. The rides around outside the city are rather hilly, so it's an incredible fitness workout when riding. I also don't have access to a shower once I get there, so I'm just carrying a ton of…

It would be Charlotte. I had planned to find my own place before going down as well as a job. I've always been the one to quickly get over a boy and move on, but that's been in my own turf. The thought of being somewhere and only knowing him, without my own friend group is the part that worries me. I'll be out of college…

There have been a lot of posts on here since i've come back, so I'll explain my thought process more. I'm not a big fan of eggs, but I'll eat them. I cannot afford protein powders. I get a protein powder pack once a month that I hold onto for days that riding my fixie to work and back really destroys me. For those that…

That's my biggest problem as well now that I'm past Phase 1. I feel like i'm doing crazy yoga acrobatic weight lifting moves that are over complicated, and with just a picture and a description, it's hard to even know what I'm supposed to do. I've ended up modifying and picking and choosing the moves I can do for my own…

We have our central market downtown in which people are making things and selling them right there. They don't have commercial kitchens at home to do this. I do know that there will be hoops I'll have to jump through, and I know that there will be a local interest in it in my area, as buying from your neighbor is all the…

Thanks for the input! I figured on advertising that I use all fresh bought local, organic ingredients and listing the farms each one comes from on the website/packaging.

Pistachios are high in calories, but i'd keep them and ditch the dressing, or make sure you're using just a tbsp to drizzle it on. I generally keep my salads with as many veggies as possible, no dressing, no meat, some fruit, and a bit of nuts. They add calories quickly.

I personally think they're a little too dressy for a work environment.

I know I've been stressed as I graduate in May, and between making sure I'm getting my class work done, working, and also making sure finances are in order, I've been exhausted mentally. Salad makes me feel good, but relaxing with beer and pizza feels even better. It seems when i'm in a good mood, and the sun is shining,…

Thank you so much on the audio drama tip. I'm getting Were Alive, as it sounds pretty epic.

I think the biggest thing I like about gluten-free is that it keeps me from grabbing things like bagels, scones, and desserts when I go to a cafe. Instead of coming home and making a huge sandwich, I have some fruit and almonds. I found I can eat a LOT more throughout the day of things that make me feel better, instead of…

It was a gluten free beer. Luckily our local microbrewery has one.

I don't usually track fat, but I think that may be a good idea. With gluten-free, I imagine most of my diet will be vegetables and fruit. Which is great, but its easy to digest and doesn't stick with me long. Thank you!

For the longest time I stopped recording any exercise I did and would still try to eat around 1200 calories, because there were days thanks to being a typical 23 year old, I would go out and drink more than two beers, and figured it all kind of evened out. After playing with a TDEE site, even on a low activity level, I…

That's what it's set at, but they still want me eating 1260, and its just not nearly enough. I found myself skipping meals and generally just being tired all of the time. I'd go to bed early just so I wouldn't eat, and that seems like an unhappy lifestyle. I guess what I don't get is that I have friends who can eat once a…

Saving this for later.

No, I really don't want to go back to eating meat. As a college student living on my own, I don't really have the funds to eat meat, or do a completely gluten free diet. At this point I'm already so limited on what I can eat, and as someone who bikes 10+ miles a day and runs, I'm already losing energy to do my every day…

Hey guys, thought I'd update a bit. After I posted this, I had an evening where I just ate plain brown rice and vegetables in hopes it would be easy on my stomach. Within two hours I was curled up in crying, excruciating pain. The same thing happened yesterday morning after eating plain oatmeal, about 1/2 cup with soy…

Just to add mine. 1. I remembered that this is a lifestyle, not a temporary diet. These are exercising and eating habits FOR LIFE. So I'm not racing to lose weight in the next month, by summer, by the end of the year. I want to maintain a healthy weight for the rest of my life. 2. I have a bad day/week/meal where I will…
