The Dempsters7' Whole Wheat are the best IMO, less calories than the WW ones too. Dempsters has a Bodywise version that's 10 calories less but they're a bit smaller and don't taste quite as good. http://www.dempsters.ca/en/Products/Dempsters/Pages/DempstersTortillas100WholeWheat7in.aspx

In Canada 'whole grain' means the flour is made from all the parts in the natural proportions. 'whole wheat' means that while it does contain all the parts they're added after the white flour is ground and not in the natural proportions. I can have less nutrients than 'whole grain' but is still better than white flour.

The first car I ever owned was a '78 Mustang II... First car that I owned and actually managed to put on the road was a '81 VW Rabbit. I miss the old Rabbit, roof leaked, no exhaust, would randomly die but if you waited 5 mins it would fire back up and be fine... best POS car ever.

Can't remember if it was the panko breaded fried chicken or the roasted sweet potato dollars that were the last thing I ate off my plate... either or ;)

I have yet to find an edible turkey or chicken sausage where I live, best option I've found is the Presidents Choice Blue Menu Smokies (the chedder one is my favorite). Other than that I just go with the classic versions and adjust my day accordingly :P

I do a cheat meal once every week or two, I try to make it just a meal and not a day (that can get out of hand quick lol). It allows me to have something that I normally can't fit it into my calorie target unless I spend 8hrs exercising. For example every now and again I crave a Wendy's double burger combo (1170…

12 year old Scotch, I'm with Ron Swanson on this one... Usually water with Mio in it or coffee for the most part, occasionally a 100% juice box or some pure OJ and the odd diet pop... and the Scotch of course ;) PS If you crave the bubbles of pop some Perrier with lemon juice or other flavoring is a decent substitute.

2 Slices of Domino's thin crust pepperoni pizza... left overs :P

Seriously though, I will probably continue with MFP set to maintain... have the odd splurge day here and there ;) Like pizza, I miss pizza.

You will lose weight but there is a caveat, you will likely be so hungry that sticking to those 4 mars bars is just about impossible and the extra snacks will sabotage you :P ... In all seriousness though it's do-able just not very healthy, and you will likely lose the weight at a slower pace as well. If you look at my…

Might seem a bit personal but did you get your doctors advice about stopping the depression meds? If you're still not in a good place mentally depression can wreak havoc on your weight in either direction... if the only reason you stopped the pills is the weight gain ask your doctor to put you on another and tell him the…

You can't just go and post something like this without a recipe, common now :P

In my view this is a long run game not as much daily race (the daily is still important mind you)... some days I may be a few cals under, some days I'm a few cals over but in the end of the week as long as it averages out to where I need it to be then its good. The important thing is you're focused on a goal and conscious…

When I do mine I just cut up a head of it and steam it very well (someone already warned it tends to keep its cauliflowerness if you don't get it steamed enough) with 2 cloves of garlic. Add chives and some butter (tablespoon or a bit more if you prefer) and mash it until it reaches your preferred consistently (the…

Since I've lost some weight I find I'm freezing all the time, we get real winters up here in Canada eh lol ,only consolation is shivering burns calories ;) As for what to do a hot shower and a warm blanket go a long way, you also may want to invest in a small space heater to blow some warm air at you when you get real cold.

I think the noodles themselves are OK, not super nutritious but not awful, its the package of powder that's the real devil. A serving of raman (half the pack) is 190 cal, 7g fat, 29 carbs, 1g fiber, 5g protein, 500mg sodium, 6-8% iron. Add some steamed broccoli, a touch of garlic infused olive oil some herbs/spices and…

Black or with a single creamer or spoon of whitener depends on where I got it or who made it. Some cheap chain coffees are just too nasty to drink black :P

Yes meat used to be our primary source of sustenance but things have changed in the last million years or so, as we've developed cultivation techniques our bodies have slowly been switching towards plant based food. Some vegetable proteins are more easily absorbed and used by the body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDCAAS…

I have a couple go to recipes for chicken breasts, especially for the winter when I can't grill all the time :P 1/ Lemon Dill Chicken (1 breast - approx 184 cal, 7g fat) 1 chicken breast 1 tsp dill, fresh or dry 1/2 lemon (zest and juice) 1 tsp evoo (optional, helps the marinade stick to the chicken and aids in browning…

New Brunswick Nope. We can't be, it's dark 6 months of the year up here lol

All I will say is if you're on any medications be sure to check with your doctor first. Grapefruit can effect how your body absorbs certain medications (anti-depressants, blood pressure etc) and allow them to build up in your system to dangerous and sometimes fatal levels. Be safe and good luck.

I used to drink my coffee w/ 2 cream and 2 sugar at my local Tim Hortons. That's 210 calories per coffee (according to their site) at usually 2 -3 times a day, that's 630 extra calories a day just in coffee O.o . I slowly cut back on the add-ons and now only take a single cream in my coffee at 1/3 the calories (70 per…

I have a few go to's for breakfast: 1/ egg sandwich (homemade) 1 egg fried- 70 cal 1/2 teaspoon butter (to fry the egg)- 18 cal 1/4 cup spinach- 5 cal 2 slices rye bread- 150 cal 1/4 -1/2 serving Old chedder- 30-60 cal Total = 273-303 cal depending on how much cheese you use, you could add a second egg and a bit more…

For the most part I will still eat it if i can fit it within my daily calorie goals but there are a few exceptions. I used to love Wendy's double burgers (over 800 calories) but I just can't justify eating them anymore (the combo pretty much finishes off my whole day). I still might have one on a cheat day very rarely but…

Goes to show the cultural difference(one of them anyway) between North America and the UK... someone in the UK sees this and thinks "who can't drive stick? Who owns an automatic even? lol. If I'm not mistaken it's the ratio of autos to sticks is almost flip-flopped between the UK and North America (probably 90/10 I'd…

Here, here, I love food to much to give it up. I utilize portion control and just watch my calories closely to lose weight, oh and I gave up soda almost completely (hardest thing so far). Its a bit slower (I'm averaging about a pound a week) but I don't feel like I'm losing out on the food I love and I feel it will be…

Really??? The lady put a HOT cup of black coffee between her legs, opened it and spilled it and then sued because she got burned. It's COFFEE, its made with boiling water, it will burn you. If you're careless enough to spill it all over yourself and get burned that's on you.

If I'm not mistaken grits are called polenta over your way.
