  • It broke my heart a little when I found out that an order of Bang Bang Shrimp at Bonefish grill was a little over 1300 calories. I've avoided Bonefish Grill ever since, just because that's my fav.

  • google 'hungry girl' I watched her cooking show and loved it. She swaps high calorie snacks for lower calorie ways to have the same thing. My son made her brownie muffins and they were quite good.

  • Would it be possible to ask the cook about adding veggies or fruit to all the meals? You could also tell your co-workers that your doctor has gotten onto you about eating healthier or less sodium, etc. Talk to your co-workers about concerns for your health, but make sure that they know you enjoy their food and think they…

  • I weigh in every day before I shower. Your body weight naturally fluctuates and while many people say that weighing in every day is bad, I take a healthy approach to it.

I think to some extent people feel guilty for eating junk when others snack on healthy foods so they want you to join in. Regardless, I belive most people end up having a point where they eat stuff that…

  • Eating fruit in place of processed sugar and whole grains in place of refined grains is an easy way to make changes. Trade in sodas and tea for water. I am frequently over my limit for sugar, but as long as I'm eating fruit instead of candy, keep my fiber intake higher and my calories at the appropriate level, I don't…
