I like sweets too much so I don't keep any in the house so I am not tempted. During TOM I allow myself to buy 1 bar of 75% cocoa dark chocolate and have 1 square each day to help with cravings. Other than that I don't keep any sweets in the house. I use fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth. But thanks for the suggestion.

I will try that for my breakfast and see how it goes. I really don't like eating eggs everyday. I am going to add more nuts in, just have to make my brain accept that they are ok and not fatty! :wink: Thanks.

I will def start adding nuts to my diet. I was afraid to eat too many because of their fat content but I know I don't eat a lot of fat so I just have to jump over that hurdle in my brain!

Thank you

Thank you, I will look for those!

I am trying to transition to vegan (not there yet). I do not eat at McDonald's, even when I ate meat! They are just gross! I have always cooked our meals. Whether meat or meatless. Eating out is only done on the weekends and once a week when I go grocery shopping and errand running because it takes half a day to get all my…

I do not eat butter, candy, fish or alcohol. I try to limit the fake meats and breads (though I'm not always successful at that), peanut butter I try to avoid due to sodium, and I limit nuts because of their high fat content. I stated that I am usually under 1200 net cals by evening and then end up eating bread, pie,…

Thank you for that. I am trying to go vegan because I feel better when I am eating purely veggies, beans, and grains. I have only been vegetarian since 2011. Went veggie because I contracted Lyme and after my treatment I wanted to detox. I did a juice fast for 2 weeks and had never felt better. When the detox was over I…

It is too early in my journey to know if I am or not getting closer to my weight goal. I have lost 5 lbs, but haven't lost inches. One of my goals is to increase my endurance and strength. On that one I am definitely improving! I can feel the muscles in my arms and legs getting stronger and I can do my workouts with a lot…

Not helpful. I quit eating meat because it made me feel awful! I feel much better now that I am a vegetarian.

My burn is off of my heart rate monitor not MFP's amounts I am starting to lose weight again so I am in a deficit. I am eating in the evening to bump up my cals to that point but that is raising my sodium intake. My QUESTION was about sodium intake and how to reduce it. I have one egg a day and I am trying to cut out the…

Those are the things that I am turning to in order to get my cals up to my daily goal. I am looking for other ways to do that. The suggestions of avocado and nuts were helpful and I will be adding those. to replace the chips and bread.

I am doing TapOut XT for my workouts. I am using a heartrate monitor to get the amount of cals I am burning. TapOut is a very intense workout. I have been doing it for a month and still am not able to keep up with them!

I'm not trying to cut out fat, I want to cut out cheese because I am trying to transition to a vegan diet. I am not ready to leave the eggs behind because of concerns about not getting enough vitamin B6. I do use olive oil and coconut oil in my cooking, so definitely not cutting fats.

The reason why the cals are over is because I am forcing myself to eat in the evenings and I am eating stuff that I wouldn't normally eat just to get my net cal close to the 1560 goal that MFP set for me. Normally I would eat veggies with no salt added and beans. I am trying to transition to vegan but am having a hard time…

I am looking for help not sarcasm. No I am not underestimating my calories. I am going by the gram weight of the food to calculate the calories and going by what the package says is the calories per gram. I measure everything that I put in my mouth. Many overweight people eat way less than healthy weight people and still…

Firstsip, I am weighing my foods, so I am confident that I am logging cals correctly. I have a hr monitor but the battery is dead. :/ I just dug it out today. Going to have to run to the store and pick up a new battery. Though I really do think I am underestimating the amount of cal burned because of how I feel the rest of…

No, it is a very intense interval training mixed martial arts (MMA) style. Insanity and P90X are similar programs

Vegetarian since 2011. Working on eliminating dairy (cheese), not ready to give up eggs yet!

I just completed day 3 of TapOut XT. Killer workout! I don't follow the meal plan cause I'm vegetarian. I couldn't resist the scale today, down 1.4 lbs! I have a long, long way to go but excited to see results! I have been logging it as vigorous calisthenics in my exercise log. Wish they had it in the database!
