I used to work at Subway and I would say it is mostly accurate. There is a certain amount of veggies we are supposed to put on each sandwich, but usually we'll just slap a larger amount down on your sub so people don't complain, especially if its busy. All the meats, cheeses, and breads are pre-portioned so unless you add…

I figured this out the hard way as well. I was only netting about 300-100 calories per day due to not eating my exercise calories back and eating to few in general. My weight stagnated for almost 3 weeks until I realized that was the problem. I started eating at least 1200-1300 calories after burning a minimum of 500…

I was always under the impression you have to eat healthfully all the time to loose weight, but I suppose if it fits it fits! I'll just use the 80/20 rule. :)

Thanks for all your input guys! I know burgers aren't "bad", but It isn't something Id want to eat every day. Ive been snaking constantly, about every two hours or so, but today I still have 100 calories left over and Im about to go to bed. I do really like the whole dairy and whole foods idea! It seems like a good way to…

Good luck! Im sure you'll make a lot of progress! I love MFP because Its all about supporting one another. A lot of people in our daily lives either dont understand or don't want us to succeed.

Just a quick update, I raised my calories to 1,300 and also make sure to replace my them after a workout. I feel better than ever and am very optimistic about this journey. Thank you for all your advice and support.

Its all about moderation. Although it may take some time to accept limiting your portions its the best way to satisfy your cravings guilt free! If you're with a friend or family member, share your desert! Buy individually wrapped candies. I love Hershey's bliss dark chocolates. I almost always have two a day! Since you're…

When I first made the transition to healthy eating I went to Jamba Juice, who also does this. It was actually the reason I changed my lifestyle because I thought, Hey! This is so yummy I could eat like this all the time! Although later I found out they have a LOT of carbs it was still a great way to sneak veggies and lots…

Thanks guys! They are all so creative and actually sound delicious. I especially like the stir fry, baking veggies, and olive oil ideas.

Ooo! Love it! :) Thanks!

You could try mixing a variety of fruit with it, or a teaspoon of almond butter for some added richness. Almost anything can go with oatmeal! :)

I've been working at Subway to get through college for the last 4 months and caught some interesting facts about their food that might surprise you! The highest calorie bread is the 9 grain Honey Oat. Yes! Its also the highest in sugar which you could imagine. The american cheese has the least amount of calories. All the…

Her story had a LOT of similarities and was very inspiring. She looks great! I really enjoyed reading it. Although i don't think I could go full Palio, I love bread to much, but most pf her diet is pretty similar to what I eat now anyhow. She looks strong and healthy. Thats how I want to be. :) Thanks for that!

Great advice! I will be returning to a normal amount of eating, but keeping my exercising routine the same. I think that should really help with this whole journey because there is no way I could do this for a long period of time.

You're absolutely right. (although the scale hasn't gone down in a while.) and that was my goal from the start. I just lost sight of what was important to my health and wellbeing and only thinking about looking good in that bathing suite, which isn't happening this way anyhow.

It wasn't that I thought it was the best and most healthy route to go. I just wanted the weight off fast and eating less and healthier foods is the first place most people go, i just became carried away with it, but my goal is results and i haven't seen any in almost 3 weeks due to my eating/exercising habits. I do look…

They all know, but they don't understand how dieting works so they aren't to concerned, expect for my boyfriend who says Im to into it, which he's totally right. I don't feel I need any phycological help. Trust me, its a battle every day to not eat a good amount so I have no problem going back to it especially knowing its…

Like I said it became a bit of an obsession to burn as many calories as I could in a day. I eat all the right foods, lots of fruits and vegetables so I didn't see anything wrong with it until recently when I started feeling weak and my weight stagnated. I just wanted to get the weight off and then bump up my calories, but…

Im really glad I posted this topic because I would have probably continued this way until I obviously couldn't anymore. It just became an obsession in a strange way to burn calories. I just had a spoonful of almond butter and am guilt free! Thanks for the realization! Hopefully I will go back to losing weight the way I did…

Thank you for the advice. Although I appear thinner my weight has stagnated so Im pretty sure its not working well.

Yes I'm starting to realize its been counter productive. I saw many weight loss stories on YouTube who claim it worked for them but I am becoming quite miserable. I will bump up my intake but I'm not sure to how much.
