I've never in my life heard of anyone overdosing on carrots. You're probably safe.

Studies tend to show people who eat breakfast lose more weight. For me personally I'm hungry all day if I skip. Breakfast doesn't have to be a big production. Make some oatmeal ahead of time, hard-boil some eggs, a protein bar can be good depending on what's in it (I try to stay away from overly sugary ones), yogurt,…

And aren't there two servings to a can? It's like a can of chili-flavored grease...

I stocked up on stuff to throw in my slow cooker expecting cooler temperatures, but the weather here just faked me out and we're back into the 90s for another week or two. But anyway: Steel-cut oats with apples, raisins and cinnamon Lots of beans... blackeye peas, pintos, black beans, whatever's on hand. Learned this the…

I get pretty far on basic staples... canned tomatoes, beans, rice, and whatever vegetables and fruits are in season and thus cheap. Winter squash and pears are coming in right now, russet potatoes have been cheap but before long sweet potatoes should be too. While trying to avoid starting a carnivore/herbivore holy war, I…

Up until July I hadn't exercised regularly since I started dropping weight in March/April last year. First week in July I started alternating C25K and bodyweight strength training, so I'm doing one or the other every day with one rest day. Yesterday was the end of week 5 for me, wasn't sure I could do the 2 mile run but I…

I stumbled across this a while back looking for something completely different. Some decent ideas, but some things aren't as cheap as they used to be and it's more focused on getting enough calories than cutting them to lose weight. http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/40dollarmenu.htm

What? It's still good. Just crunchy. Put some hot sauce on it and do work.

It takes a certain amount of... let's say chutzpah... to sport one of these in public. So I'm going with manly. I know I'm not man enough to try it.

Done something similar to this, added bell peppers and used the grill instead of the oven.

Now that I read this, I cannot remember the last candy bar I had. One or two small cookies here and there just because the stuff is sitting around all the time. They say some foods affect your brain like heroin, chocolate being one of them. Maybe I finally broke that addiction.

*slow clap*

I would walk away, right then. No questions or comments. The end.

*slow clap* Exemplary.

My favorite band is Nickelback.

Oh, that movie theater? I don't think I can go there... it's down the street from a park... there are legal... complications.

That's a great skirt. I've got the same one in orange.

Hi, I'm Chris Brown.

Taco Bueno. A low clothing budget. I've had to buy more new crap in the last year than any other time in my entire life. Moob jokes at my own expense.

So, when are you due?

Today for me it's Matchbox 20 - 3AM and Rise Against - Letting Go.

Blue October is seriously underrated. Great band.

As a component of beer.

And now I'm going to have to re-watch that tonight after work.

This works too. http://lifehacker.com/5651930/easily-peel-hard+boiled-eggs

That small number of calories won't matter a whole lot. I personally prefer almond milk. Can't get past the taste of most soy stuff.

My third dinner at Taco Bueno in a week, and the guy at the drive-thru just looked at me like "Dude, really?"

If I see myself coming up really low for the day I may have a small handful of peanuts or almonds, depending on if I think the extra hit of fats will help or hurt. Though honestly if I'm more than 200-300 under goal for the day it's probably from lack of fat. Yogurt, cheese, fruit, cereal (cold or hot), popcorn, hummus &…

Rise Against, Red City Radio, or maybe Social Distortion.

Mash/blend with a little lemon or lime juice and salt. Spread on a sandwich instead of mayo. Or in addition to, if you've got the calories to spare.
