There are different types of tofu that are suitable for different recipes. The soft tofu is good if you need to add it to something quick and eat right away. The firm tofu needs to be cooked more or marinated (or in a crock pot) because the flavor of the firm tofu is more grassy. Lots of the time I just make a coconut milk…

These are more than 5 ingredients, but only like 10. Both of these recipes are delicious and you just throw in the ingredients (all cheap) and leave it so pretty easy. Slow Cooker Butter Chickpeas and Tofu http://delishknowledge.com/slow-cooker-butter-chickpeas/ Slow Cooker Lentil & Veggie Stew…

Since the pasta is usually the worst part of a healthy pasta recipe, I have been using quinoa instead. Quinoa is healthier in general than rice or pasta I think and it goes well with a lot of toppings that are good on pasta. To me it also seems like quinoa is more filling. My favorite quick meal is to cook some chopped…

My BMI is basically right in the middle of the normal range (I'm just going to lose a few more pounds and tone) and I hate it when people say "oh well you are skinny so..." For example, if I say a room is cold, suggest an activity that has to do with moving, or other things like that. I'm not even skinny, I am technically…

Another idea about the now eating out and how that makes him sad: You can say, ok we eat out like twice a month (*or something) but he has to choose from a list of places YOU provide. You can research restaurants beforehand and pick 5 or so that have at least one very healthy dish that you know is ok for you to eat. Then…

One thing for the movies is you could make your own popcorn air-popped and healthy if you have a big purse. Then you wouldn't eat the bad movie popcorn or have the leftovers the next day. When I am eating well for a while and get a big craving I decide on ONE treat. I think about it for a little while first to make sure I…

My boyfriend runs and it has helped him lose like 20 pounds. He is also doing weights though too. I am at a happy weight but I just started running too for the cardiovascular since I only do pilates/yoga and some weights. I think it seems good to do in combination with weights for a balance?

It is obviously bad to eat 500 calories a day and I think it is clear that you know that. You also seem to know that after a certain point when you eat too little calories your weight stalls out and your metabolism slows down. You should probably go to some therapy and maybe consider relaxing with the grad school thing…

The roast vegetable pizza might actually be fine if it is only fresh mozzerella as the cheese and not a lot of oil. Would not recommend BBQ sauce. The salmon (even though pesto can be really high calorie) or salmon salad w/balsamic (if you don't mind the calories of avocado) might be good choices.

I am really into tea so I got a bunch of boxes of different types of tea and keep them in a desk drawer. It is warm and comforting and helps me to get more water while avoiding snacking when I am not actually hungry at work. The key for me is having all the varieties of tea to keep it interesting, sometimes I will have…

"Go back to taking pictures with your cat." um.... what is that about? People are being honest about what they know and I think you are a little oversensitive. You need to reevaluate the way that you take criticism. Seriously, your defensive reaction about the cold weather to someone saying that soup is processed food is…

5'2, goal weight 115 which is also my lowest adult weight. gained about ten pounds over the past few years, lost about 5 and want to get the last 5 (never pregnant) I just started running to hopefully increase metabolism
