https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/center/weight-center.html?WT.ac=t-ra https://www.choosemyplate.gov/teens There is a mom and son who come to my gym and lift and do HIIT workouts together. He is a younger teenager, on the heavier side, and really likes it. They compete against each other and celebrate good lifts. It's pretty…

Weight loss can cause changes in hormone levels, and bruising happens more easily with higher estrogen levels due to slight changes in blood vessels - so women often have more visible bruises than men, as do some people starting hormone therapy. The bruises might be more prominent until your hormone levels have a chance to…

1. Jalapeno corn chowder, cheez-its, apple, Babybel 2. Turkey breast cutlets, gravy, stuffing, mashed cauliflower Snack: Strawberries, maybe drizzled with some melted chocolate

They might be using some sort of rub or sauce when grilling that has sugar or a starchy non-clumping agent?

I would try adding plain ground cayenne (and a touch of garlic powder) to food as you're cooking to get near the heat level you're looking for. Then just use a splash or two of Franks.

Yogurt. Keeps being gross, after multiple tries.

I also second Budget Bytes! She's been posting meal prep recipes recently as well. Otherwise, I do a lot of bean-based dishes. Both dry and canned are economical, and can be used in so many ways. In salads, pasta, rice, chilis - they help bulk up other ingredients too, like subbing half of the ground beef for tacos with…

Raspberries and other berries have a ton of fiber. Apples Potatoes Beans Barley Steel cut oats Farro Seeds and nuts Skinny Taste Chicken Taco Chili has reasonable calories and lots of fiber due to the beans and veggies. You can mix oatmeal, raspberries, and a few walnuts for a very high-fiber breakfast

I don't do more than 3-4 drinks per week, usually less. I just can't fit it in. I also have a very hard time controlling the food side of things when I'm tipsy. I haven't cut alcohol completely, but I did have to learn some tricks to cut back. Pre-logging before parties and happy hours - the food and the drinks - has…

I exercise the recommended amount, frequently more in the summer and if you want to count walks/yoga on rest days. But I also work a desk job and have been known to read whole books in one sitting or binge Netflix for a few hours. I'm not consistently active outside of the exercise I purposefully do, and unless I try…

I think you have to pick one or two things, and commit to one or two very small changes. Do them daily. Evaluate your success. When you feel comfortable, pick and commit to a few other changes or habits, and work on those. If you can't form new lasting habits to meet these many goals, you're pretty likely to crash and…

Based on available evidence from epidemiological, in vitro, preclinical, and early phase trials, phytochemicals, specifically isothiocyanates (ITCs) *this is where the broccoli comes in* such as sulforaphane (SFN) represent a promising potential chemopreventitive agent in bladder cancer.…

Chik-fil-a spicy chicken and a side of grilled nuggets with a bit of dipping sauce or side salad Qdoba chicken tacos McDonalds Egg McMuffin and a hash brown Wendy's sour cream & chive potato and value nuggets

Skinny Taste Korean Grilled Chicken Breast (can easily be made in a skillet if you don't have a grill) Skinny Taste Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu Simmer chunks with some tikka masala or favorite curry sauce, add some cauliflower and spinach

1. Panera turkey chili, baguette, butter, and iced tea 2. Oven-roasted chicken breast with spicy BBQ sauce, broccoli, buttermilk mashed red potatoes and kale 1443 calories Maybe some girl scout cookies or popcorn

Some Wendy's chili over a sour cream & chive baked potato is super filling. Thanks, fiber! Also, a Qdoba bowl or chicken & bean tacos for ~700 calories has lots of veggie, protein, and fiber and keeps me full for ages.

I do different things each week. Taco salad, burrito bowls, hearty soups with lots of vegetables, protein pasta with chicken and roasted vegetables, chili, 'snack boxes' with hard boiled eggs, cheese, crackers, apple slices or berries, and a few nuts. I often freeze a portion or two so I can mix and match what builds up in…

We get fun-size and individually portioned snacks so we aren't mindlessly eating while we Netflix. A 55-cal bag of gummy bears or 70-cal frozen M&Ms and some popcorn doesn't set me back much, and I don't always partake. I also sometimes opt for tea or a small instant hot chocolate (~100 calories) instead.

1. Beef Enchiladas, apple, Babybel cheese, carrots 2. Wendys spicy chicken sandwich, sour cream and chives baked potato

You may want to see a dermatologist instead of general practitioner too. Mine was related to PCOS, but they knew what to look for and which treatments worked best for different types of hair loss.

ramen, ramen, ramen!

What is this sorcery?!?

Breakfast: cinnamon toast and milk Lunch: chicken fajita bowl Dinner: roasted chicken quarter, mushroom pilaf, asparagus

Potlucks & picnics - take something filling that you can comfortably eat and share. Make the majority of your plate veggies and fruit, grilled meat if available. Enjoy small tastes of rich dishes like macaroni and cheese, creamy dips, desserts, etc. Take a discrete picture of your plate if you want to try to log it later.…

I also am not a fan of leftovers, but I did cook foods I could re-purpose the next day. Cook two pork chops, veggies, and baked potatoes - turn the second pork chop into quick stir-fry or tacos or a BBQ pork, and turn the second potato into home fries with peppers and onion to eat with eggs. I ate more sandwiches, soup,…

Rest days. You don't have to be sedentary on rest days - walking or gentle stretching/yoga will keep blood flowing to sore muscles and ease discomfort. Keep heavy workouts to a few days a week and try lightly active days in between.

1. Lasagna, apple slices, cheddar 2. Chicken and poblano fajitas over rice & spicy black beans, plenty of toppings - jalapenos, salsa, queso fresco, sour cream Probably some cheez-its before the gym. 1389 calories
