Definitely salami rolled with cream cheese (or stacked as mentioned above)! Celery-Lime Jello Salad. Actually, please put everything in gelatin and post pictures.

Coffee Meal Mid-day: Mushroom ravioli, cheese stick, apple Evening: Baked cod with lemon parsley butter sauce, mushroom rice pilaf, roasted broccoli

Can I suggest looking into job hunting assistance, maybe at a local library or other group in your area? They can often help with resumes, cover letters, and even set up practice interviews - knowing common interview questions and having some possible answers (as well as constructive comments from other people) can really…

Planning, whether it's meal prepping, pre-logging one or all meals, or just creating a rough menu and grocery list for the week, can make weight loss way easier. Knowing what you're going to eat ahead of time and finding ways to include treats can definitely help you succeed without taxing your willpower as much. And you…

I eat high fiber English muffins like its my job, and regular bread as well. I find bread to be very satisfying, so I just make sure to watch my portions.

You also have the option of using a chain restaurant's french fry as a base - compare the weight of the fries you ate with the calories per gram of say, McDonald's french fries (or a chain who has fries similarly shaped - curly, waffle, etc.).

Have you recalculated your calorie amounts since you lost weight? You won't have the same results if you're eating the same number of calories MFP recommended when you were 70 pounds heavier.

Black Coffee Mid-day: chicken & veggie fried rice, apple, pepper jack cheese snack Evening: 1/3 pound beef burger with mushrooms, spinach and Havarti cheese, asparagus oven fries with lemon garlic aoli, blood orange slices

I trust myself to think critically about the information I'm presented with. I try not give answers without thought and research, and I try to evaluate research the best I can taking into consideration bias and collective knowledge. And I try to teach others to do this instead of accepting an answer (including my own) at…

This week it's a hard boiled egg w/ salt and hot sauce with a few everything seasoned crackers. I love green olives though - they destroy a salt craving.

Cook your food in oil or butter. Good flavor, and some calories from fat.

Coffee Meal: Coffee, black Lunch: Chicken Parm, apple Pre-Gym Snack: Hard boiled egg, Trader Joe's everything crackers, raw cauliflower, hot sauce Dinner: Pork chop, garlic green beans, mushroom ravioli, blood orange slices 1348 calories

Panera Bread (I think it has another name depending on where you are in the US). They have a few that are lower calorie and filling, and you can also get a half sandwich/half soup (or salad) option and stay under 600 calories. A few of their sandwiches are around 500-600 calories for the whole sandwich, and come with a…

It looks like you're bumping up your convenience foods with a few servings of fresh fruit and veggies, so I personally wouldn't worry too much if you feel satisfied and you're getting enough calories. Some other convenience/fast cooking foods if you get tired of Soylent for dinner or continue to feel lethargic - Bagged…

Coffee Meal: Coffee, black Mid-day: Baked ziti w/ meatball, Granny Smith Apple Dinner: Grilled chicken tenders drizzled with Buffalo sauce & blue cheese, peas, and either a baked potato or mixed greens, radish, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes.

Break it down into smaller chunks. Losing 100 pounds seems SO HARD. But what about losing ten pounds? What about losing 5% or 10% of your body weight (which doctors say can greatly improve health and metabolic function, even if you're still overweight)? If you can lose ten pounds once, you can do it nine more times. As…

If it's the actual flu or a severe cold, rest your body, get lots of liquids, and stay away from other people if at all possible - developing pneumonia, bronchitis, or other related complications will only prolong the time you're down and out.

Wonton ramen, featuring shredded chicken, soft boiled egg, spinach, roasted garlic, scallion & ginger. (Mini chicken cilanto wontons courtesy of Trader Joes.)

You shouldn’t put your life on hold while you try to lose weight. What if you don’t lose weight? What if you gain weight back in a few years when you go through a stressful period in life? I do think you should be attracted to your partner, but being slightly overweight isn’t a dealbreaker for most people. Think beyond…

Entree salads at restaurants are often just as many, if not more, calories than regular entrees and sandwiches. I'd check the menus before you go and find a comparable chain restaurant entry - order what you like and want to eat within reason. You can also practice portion control - eat slowly, sip water, and commit to…

Different vegetables and fruits require different storage methods. Buying a selection of ripe and unripe fruits - like bananas, avocado, mango, plums, etc. - and letting them ripen at different times can help. Bagged produce (often chemically treated to extend life), I can usually find with the expiration date beyond a…

Extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, garlic powder, salt/pepper - a drizzle of honey if it's too tart Also a good marinade for grilled chicken and flank steak!

First Meal: Beef barley & vegetable soup, crackers, apple Second Meal: Rice, spicy black beans, 1/2 pound of shrimp topped with chili-lime compound butter Raw cauliflower for snacking Maybe some late night hot chocolate and popcorn? Brie, berries, and crackers? I'm only at 1038 with my planned meals so far.

You can find something at most places - I recommend having go-to items at your favorite place. Memorize their calories so you know how they work into your day if it's an unplanned trip. Find things you enjoy, and pair higher calorie items with lower calorie items. Happy meals are often lower calorie as well, and offer…

I have fun-size M&M's in the freezer. Very satisfying :)

Definitely eat back half of your exercise calories if you're having issues. You should net at least 1200 calories each day for adequate nutrition (1,500 for men). Random thought, do you happen to live in a cold/dark climate? Seasonal changes, extended hours of darkness, etc. can give people problems. You could potentially…

You really shouldn't have any issues, other than possible hunger/appetite issues or a few pounds of water retention caused by a change in hormones. If you just started and are gaining more than 5-10 pounds over the first few months, talk to your doctor. There are lots of pill combos available, and your doctor should work…

I've done this successfully for weekends and special events. There's a weekly net calorie feature on MFP if you want to check where you are. (Mobile, click the nutrition button at the bottom of your daily diary. Change the view to week instead of daily) Note that if you weigh yourself daily, you might see the scale jump a…

I like hasselback chicken. http://tiphero.com/hasselback-chicken/ You can switch the fillings - I just find it faster than stuffing the chicken breast traditionally, and the breast stays very tender. Try - jalapeno, crumbled bacon, cream cheese & cheddar (like a jalapeno popper) broccoli, cream cheese or ricotta, cheddar…
