In, because I hate bananas :b all those "cookies that are good for you" and flour-less pancakes are lost on me! Had not thought of pumkin puree, will have to check the store

I eat delicious, delicious food... And all of it is right. It makes me happy with it taste, and taking care of it while I cook it, and by the end of the week, I've meet my calorie and macro goals. In my opinion, eat varied (so you get the different micronutrients etc.), roughly hit your macros (what ever they may be,…

I would like to hear the answer to this too

Eat more chicken and tuna :) You can sneak some into every meal, and since it has a pretty low calorie density, it's not going to make your meals smaller. Instead of rice, try some beans! I'm currently loving beans :) I've bought a ton of dried black beans, and after that I might try lima and soy. Also, small changes, like…

Oh, I've done the one from Can You Stay For Dinner several times, it's sooooo delicious! I always have a batch in my fridge, to satisfy a sweet tooth/chocolate craving! When I make them, they come out at 62-77cal: I use whole wheat flour (she recommends you get whole wheat special for desserts, but I have not found it to…

I love chocolate! And I have it a lot! As others have said, of course you can have anything you like - but if it's calorie dense, it has to be less often and/or small portions if ýou want to meet a low calorie goal. So, if I want a large portion (which I do) or want it on a tuesday nothing special afternoon (which I do) I…

Ah, ok, see what a newb I am, I don't think I realized what a pull up actually was :b I thought it was crunches! I can't pull my own weight for sure, but the machine thing for it seems good. I'm a little scared of the bench press though (I also thought that was the leg-press thing), so I will for sure get someone to guide…

If you make a 4 serving meal, enter all the ingredients here in MFP. Then, done cooking, take a plate and 3 boxes, and put 1/4th on your plate to eat now, and 1/4th in each box. Then you know how many calories are in each box when you defrost them later. Or, alternatively, follow the 4serving recipe, and just put 1/4th of…

I started at 253.5lbs, and I'm also 5'8" :D Feel free to add me, I cook A LOT of low calorie meals and snacks, so if you see anything that sounds interesting in my diary for example, I'll be very happy to share recipes etc :)

I've been diagnosed with SAD many years ago, my parents bought me a lamp for it just when I was diagnosed (I was very young), but I don't have it anymore. I've been getting through this winter ok, since I didn't have any "triggers" to make me depressed, but last year was really really bad, and I plan to take all measures…

I did it, and it was delicious! I find it could still work with more egg white and less cheese. I might make some more, and not have it as a pizza crust, but just as a delicious snack! Here's how it looked: http://i.imgur.com/bh5vLOK.jpg And with topping (minus the fresh spinach I added as well)…

I find it to be good for fullness and satisfaction of the meal. Also, good for digestion, colon, etc. You should get at least 1.2g fiber / 100calorie, so work out if your fiber goal is in line with your calorie goal.

Sounds like it's written by a palao/"natural eater", aka. very biased.

^ Shrimp, grape fruit, red onion, red cabbage, almonds, chili and fish sauce :) 320cal for 1/4th of that.

Here in Denmark you can only get it if they have an 'American import' sections - and they charge $12 for one of those standard sizes! I nearly wept when I moved to Texas, and could get them for $1 at a bargain store.

Me, pretty much! Of course, to eat less calories, I have changed my diet besides just eating less - I eat very little rice/pasta/bread, as I perceive it as 'filler foods' - since I had to cut down on my portion sizes, I'd much rather cut down on that, compared to the delicious things :) Plus, I find that protein and…

It's becuase it's set for the recommended limit for added sugar, but the entries don't differentiate between added sugar or not.

It was! :D I loosly followed Hungry Girls 'Faux Fried Eggplant Sandwich' recipe, but instead of salsa on the side, I put curry and tomato koncentrate inside, and I did goat cheese instead of any of the cheeses she suggested + didn't put any cheese on top (wanted to be able to hold it as a sandwich for packed lunch). And I…

Oh, cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave is a DO! Every since I discovered it could be done, I've never cooked them on the pan again! So easy, minimized cleaning, minimized frying oil, I love it! Hungry Girl has a bunch of 'Eggs in Microwave"-recipes if you want to go all fancy, but the key points are: Veggies/precooked…

Oh man, Ben & Jerry truly understand what we mean when we say we want CHOCELATE ICECREAM, not just some ice cream who once met a bit of chocolate milk. The right side looks a bit bland thought, what's in it? They should make that side cookie dough, or with Reeses cups or something *drooling myself into a coma*

In the 'reports' tab - but it's not very reliable, as you may notice that a lot of entries only have macronutrients listed - before I payed attention to how thorough an entry was, it kept having me extremely low on all micronutrients, as well as saturated fat and fiber. Now that I pay attention to always select the most…

My diary is open, take a look :) I don't know if you can click the things I've added from my recipes, and see the ingredients? But anyways, breakfast, coffee w/skim milk and whole grain oats with water and cinnamon. Lunch, I made a caserole thingie with broth, black beans, steak bits and brusselsprouts. Afternoon snack was…

Reminds of yesterday, I was talking about food and stuff with my brother - I told him how many different things I eat in a day, and how often, and he was like "that's sounds like a huge amount, how are you losing weight like that?" - For reference, he is 6'6", lifts HEAVY every day, runs half marathons everyother weekend…

Yup! I just added up my vegs (excluding beans etc.) - Today 15% of my cals came from veg, yesterday it was 29%, the day before 23%. I would be way off in my calorie estimates if I didn't log them! Plus, I very often go back in my food diary and check what kind of foods kept me full (for example, if I can see that I've…

I drink loads, though don't drink your calories! And I plan how long you'll wait between eating - It helps me a lot to rationalize with myself: "You ate 2 hours ago, only one more to go, it's not unreasonable!" etc. Also, try to cut down on fat if you are not already low - it just takes up very little space compared to the…

I'm not a fan of cheat meals. First of all, I don't feel like it's cheating, if my week is still within my calorie and macro goals, which I make sure it is, kind of the point of logging and planning my diet at all :b 2nd, I don't want to 'plan' to eat unhealthy/calorie dense. What if the time comes around, and you don't…

delicious, delicious egg plant sandwiches with goat cheese! (came out at about 75cal each)

@bonoeuf: What do you eat now? Breakfast is my only 'carb-y' meal, and I've been thinking of alternatives, but getting up and cooking eggs just isn't an option that early and fast in the morning! And I just can't seem to eat enough youghurt to keep me full for any lenght of time, I think it's the consitensy that just need…

I prefer not to have it super plain, but I do eat the whole grain sort with water - but then I add cinnamon and a bit of sweetner ;)

Mine have shrunk a bit I've just noticed :/ A back size and probably the corresponding letter or 2... Still have huge boobs, so there's plenty I could still lose.. For all the trouble huge boobs can be, I'm a bit sad to see them go (I still had very big boobs last time I was near my goal weight, so I don't think they'll…
