Like people have been saying, it's up to you to figure out. If you want to try, make sure to maximize protein and fiber to help stay feeling full. Also, veggies are a great substitue for anything if you are trying to lower calories. All I have to say is, "Good luck", because I can't handle that little food for more than a…

EGG WHITES

I like non-fat string cheese (60 cal) and an apple. I take a bite of cheese then a bite of apple, and it's quite a tasty combination. I'll also add some sort of veggie sticks like a chopped up red pepper or something.

grrrrl you must be hungry! Have a sandwhich or something!

The binge is your body's way of saying it needs more fuel. Try upping your calories by about 200 or eat your exercise calories. Eating more might keep you feeling full to a point that you don't feel a need to binge. Also, moderation. If you want a sweet or what ever, have a small peice and work it into your calories. This…

I'm not sure how many calories per day you're eating. However, if the calories are too low, your body needs those calories from the "binge". The binge is your body's way of tell you to feed it. Try upping your calories or eating exercise calories so you eat more per day or make room for a small splerge like a small cookie…

I usually go swimming for about an hour... Long swim as "cardio" and then I do some kicking, pulling, technique drills, IM, and butterfly. I will also add im some interval training. If I go to the gym, I generally do 40 - 60 minutes on the eliptical, 10 min of abs, and some push ups. I'm a swimmer, so if I'm not swimming,…

I had mono a couple years ago. I was blessed with a very mild case. As so happens, It was a week before swimming championships for my team. I took the week off, and not only did I swim in the meet, I swam some of my best times. I also dropped a few lbs in this time frame. While I don't encourage you to push yourself, I…

grapes sometimes I add a dash of splenda and cinnamon or splenda and vanilla extract, but i like the plain taste. It's so refreshing!

Lower your salt intake.

Make sure to at least lightly work those muscles the next day. If you leave them unused, you'll only take longer to recover from cramping. It will hurt, but it's so worth it instead of being sore for a week. Also, up your protein. That's what muscles use to recover.

Under the points plus system, the minimum number of points they suggest is 29. I haven't been able to find the equation used to calculated points plus values on line yet, but with it, you can use Xcell to create a calculator and such. I've made a table showing food, calories, and points plus value. Then at the bottom, I…

I'm a total sugar addict. I always had candy in my house growing up, and my family taught me to bake from scratch at a young age. It's really hard for me to go a day without some sort of sweet. I've learned to deal with it and budget for it. I also try to eat something sweet at every meal (i.e. fruit, and greek yogurt with…

This might be a bigger question... Who's going to propose to who during the finale?

I noticed it too. Maybe the producers thought it was getting old as they like to claim they like to change things up. Also, I think the contestants were at the ranch longer than any other season because the starting number was doubled with the two sets of trainers. Maybe it will be a surprise at the finale that they…

Have what you want, but in moderation. Also, plan for it. If you look at naturally skinny people, they eat what they want, but they don't eat as much. If you've never noticed it, try it out. Find a skinny person, and take them out to eat. They have what they want, but usually they leave food behind on their plate, and they…

While high sodium levels can cause high blood pressure, I've found that if I do consume a lot of salt, if I drink tons of water (think peeing clear pee every half hour) I don't see water retension the next day. However, if you eat tons of salt every day, this probably isn't a great option. My dad had a heart attack years…

Mathematically, yes it should be ok for you to eat french bread. The idea of counting calories is to create a calorite deficit to lose weight, and as long as you have done this, you should still lose. However, sometimes the quality wins out over the quantity, and you might experience some small wieght fluctuation. For me,…

I've tried the old version and it worked. The new version didn't work well for me because I like fruit too much (ie i ate too many unaccounted calories from fruit). I like this better but to each their own.

For you who's craving the baked beans, You might be craving either protein or startch. The baby back ribs might be a protein craving too. I'm a vegetarian, and I don't always eat enough protein. I actually start craving burgers even though I don't like the tast of meat!

I've been using the stuff for a while. Sometimes I like to add just a tiny bit of salt when I mix it up. It's also great in baked goods and on chicken (like a peanut sauce type thing). I miss the real stuff though.
