  • No. Truvia has no aspertame. It is derived naturally from a plant so its better for you than Splenda, Equal or Sweet n low.

  • Chicken Enchiladas You'll need a few pounds of chicken breast Can of mexican stewed tomatoes Packet of taco seasoning corn tortillas shredded cheddar cheese enchilada sauce Put the whole chicken breasts, mexican stewed tomatoes and taco seasoning in crock pot on low for 5 or 6 hours. By then you can take the chicken out…
  • I make my pizzas on whole wheat 6"in pita breads. Its much easier than making dough and the pita bread is only 90 calories. I use a brand called Josephs that they keep near the deli in my local grocery store. I top it with my own pasta sauce and low fat or fat free mozz. Sometimes I add a ton of veggies or I top it with…
  • You and I were pretty much about the same size at one point. I am 5'6" and now weigh 138 lbs. I started at 157. I have my goals set at 1200 calories and sometimes with my exercising I end getting an extra 500 calories I can eat. If my goal is 1200 cals and I get to eat 1700 cals because of exercising I will actually only…
  • I have also used lime Crystal light to replace margarita mix which significantly cuts down the calories of a margarita. I just used tequila which 1 1/2 oz has 97 calories and 1 1/2oz of triple sec have about 70 calories and then 5 calories for the crystal light. It tastes just like a regular margarita just not as sweet.
  • I have never tried the skinny girl margarita nor do I know what is in it but I have made a low calorie margarita of my own and its delish! I use lime flavored crystal light (the typical flavor of a margarita) instead of sour mix and lime or instead of the ready made margarita mix. Crystal light only has 5 calories per cup…
  • I am a bartender and I use to drink vodka with club soda and a piece of lime because vodka only has about 60 calories per shot but the problem with that is that I realized that bartenders put more than one shot in your drinks so you're actually drinking 120 calories if you have a vodka club soda. WIne usually has about…
  • Depending on your size eating 1200 calories a day will help you lose about 2 pounds per week....like I said, it all depends on your weight so you can actually lose more. Also, from what I have read the majority of people that keep track of their calories either consumed or burned will tend to under estimate the calories…
  • Mexican restaurants usually have fish on the menu as well which would be a good choice as long as it isnt smothered in cheese or anything like that. Try to avoid the mexican rice, that is where the calories can rack up.
  • I found whole grain pita bread made by a brand called Josephs and its 60 calories per pita. Its a pretty good size pita and I make my sandwiches on that. I believe its whole grain with Oats and flax seed. It keeps me full and its only 60 calories.
  • I go to work at 9am so I eat breakfast at my desk around 9:30-10am then a snack around 12pm, lunch at 1pm, snack around 4pm, then I hit the gym after work around 5:30pm and I eat dinner when I get home from the gym around 7pm.
  • Long island ice teas have 5 different liquors in them plus sour mix and a few splashes of coke...vodka has about 60 calories per shot and tequila has about 90 so if you figure that the other 3 liquors will have about as much calories as vodka and then add in the sour mix and the coke there is all your calories....I read…
  • Im in New Haven county. :smile:
  • oh nice. Where in CT do you live?
  • This recipe isnt as sweet as a regular margarita but its still really good. I suggest that if you make it frozen you may want to add a little stevia or truvia or any other sweetener to it to sweeten it up.
  • I am a Starbucks FANATIC! Although I have been watching what I eat/drink its hard for me to cut out Starbucks...I get everything with non fat milk and make sure I never get whipped cream. If you are in the mood for an iced tea instead you can get their black iced tea, green tea or passion tea all unsweetened and its only…
