It also doesn't help that I'm a supertaster (stupid taste buds) but that's a whole different story. So, any ideas on easy to transport, high protein lunches? Stuff other than a quick grilled chicken breast and salad?

Yep, I've got help before and I know the proper things to eat. I've been down this road before so I'm familiar with it all. I thought I was just picky until I got a diagnosis. It's really funny to be afraid of so many foods illogically, but it is what it is. It's really hard to explain to someone what it's like to have a…

I've tried that, couldn't down it. I've tried a few flavours, all the same. I can usually get 1/2 scoop into a smoothie with milk and matcha or blueberries, and that can sometimes make me gag. Please be gentle with me. I have a selective eating disorder and there are very very few foods I feel safe eating that don't make…

Oh yeah, eggs are on the gag list as well. I can have maybe one in a week, but the texture grosses me out like beans/legumes.

I only eat 2-3 oz of meat at a time? I don't think I could eat 8 oz of meat at once as it wouldn't fit in my stomach! I have acid reflux bad so I only eat a palm sized meal, including veg, at a time. I alternate whey and yogurt, never thought of putting them together (hmm...chocolate greek yogurt?) I only do 1/2 scoop of…

I'm thinking something like this: http://www.innovatewithdairy.com/Pages/High-proteinPizzaDoughFormulationSheet.aspx?Category=Applications&Filter=Pizza or this: http://intelligentreasoning.blogspot.ca/2012/02/high-protein-pizza-dough.html Or maybe this one, but adding some olive or coconut oil and a few eggs to soften the…

I tried the cauliflower crust. Didn't like it at all...sorry. Not sure my hubby would do a Meatzza crust either. He likes his bread crust. I'm thinking of tweeking an existing traditional recipe to sub in some of the bread flour with vital wheat gluten, soy flour, and unflavoured whey protein. Keep it as an egg dough (2-3…

I know it sounds totally weird, but I could NOT drink water no matter how hard I tried, until I stole my husbands water bottle he bought for biking (he used it once and then it sat in the cupboard). This is approx the same model: http://www.camelbak.com/Sports-Recreation/Bottles/Performance-Bottle.aspx I seriously never…

You guys are awesome. If we were renting, I probably wouldn't care, but we just bought and moved into the house so I don't want to piss off the neighbours just yet. :) That's also part of the reason I don't want to go running in the dark at 4AM. I know it's not a *bad* area exactly, I just don't know it well enough to know…

Yeah, not sure why anyone finds this odd. Has no one heard of an open relationship or polyamoury?

The pizza is home made with whole grain dough with extra fiber added and low fat cheese. Pizza keeps me fuller longer that oatmeal usually anyway as I do low carb/high protein/med fat diet. I wish I could do eggs, but eggs make me gag (and make me sleepy for some reason. I can't eat any raw fruits or veg or any cold food…

No, I don't think so. I've only been tested for diabetes which was negative. I'll ask my doc about it next time I'm in as I didn't know there was a test for anything blood sugar related other than diabetes.

Also, slimfast is high in sugars/carbs and low in fibre so if you are sensitive to carb issues, they can cause you to have a sugar crash. I've done low carb/high protein and it's helped a bit for me. I do agree, ask your doc just in case.

I've had multiple tests done and they find nothing wrong. No one has ever been able to explain it.

Happens to me all the time. Doesn't matter if I have 3000 cal or 1200 cal. I'll keep an eye on this thread for solutions though because I would love one! Well, solution other than eating because for me I have to eat for it to go away, but then it comes back in less than an hour each time.

Yes, CA 125 is the test. Since you are young, you want to preserve your fertility if you can. I'm almost 34 and been trying to get preggers for 5+ years. The cyst makes it so that my left ovary doesn't function all that well, but it's the only side with a tube so I'm not taking the risk of removing the cyst just yet (I…

Hello. I just wanted to let you know not to panic!! I too have a complex dermoid cyst on my left ovary so this is what I've learned. First, ask for the blood test that tests for something in your blood that would indicate ovarian cancer if the cyst was cancerous. I forget the name of it but apparently it's almost 100%…

No, don't have a HRM. I was painting from about 12 noon till 4 PM, solid. And I get to do the second coat tomorrow! Yay!!

Wow! So many responses! I am also under the care of an RE and have my own issues (not many, very minor but enough to cause fertility problems). I've always been told by our RE to only do moderate/light exercise while TTC. I guess each doc has their own rules. I previously lost 30lbs with LoseIt! but switched to MFP as the…

I would gather drinking warm/hot water during hot weather while working out is bad, or does it matter for hydration really? (I'm not allowed to drink cold or room temp water - which is a whole other story)

No A/C either, we do have a finished basement though. We just bought the house a few weeks ago so things are chaotic still (boxes everywhere as I have no motivation to unpack in this heat wave!) I do have the full P90 program which I thought about trying but there's no room for that until I unpack more. I could do the mall…

Thanks everyone. I know it's an anxiety issue, but it's not one I've been able to solve. I just can't eat certain textures or foods without freaking out. On a side note - my problem is not a calorie deficit, it's that I'm having trouble getting down to the recommended cals because I'm at the limit of what foods I can eat.…

Oh, I just found something called "My Meals". Is it just coffee or a few items? I think you can group them into a meal and do a mass entry daily if you eat the same thing?

Have you added it as a new food (i.e. create food)? Mine show in my list of my "My Foods" which I find faster than "Recents" but if you have a lot of custom foods, you would still have to search. I hear you though - it would be nice to be able to enter the food in almost like automatically if you have it every day.
