  • Check out stir fry recipes. They're super easy and fast. Chop up any meat and brown it. Add sesame oil and some veggies (whatever kind you like, but broccoli really rocks in stir fry!) and let em cook for a couple minutes until they start to soften a bit. Then toss in some cooked rice and soy sauce and toss it a few times…

  • It gets easier once you form healthier habits. I've been at it for about 2 months now, and I rarely find myself at my calorie limit and still hungry. Avoiding eating fast food (and fried foods/burgers in general) frequently and keeping washed/sliced and ready-to-eat fruit on hand for snacking will get you 75% of the way…

  • 8oz flat iron steak from T.G.I. Friday's with steak fries and broccoli. And I think I'm gonna go for it.

  • As the others said, chicken is #1 for lean protein. Steak is great too, but be wary of the fat. It adds a LOT of calories and makes it harder to fit into your diet. Fish is also good as it's low in calories, high in omega 3's, and high in protein. If you find yourself craving sweets, try a protein shake (100% whey) made…
    in Protein-how can I hit my goal? Comment by smokeyser August 2014
  • A chocolate protein shake made with skim milk (~240 cals) is pretty filling and tastes great. Scrambled egg whites are also good at around 17 cals each. I also keep canned tuna (chunk light not albacore due to mercury) and sardines packed in water for low calorie snacks (both around 180 cals for a whole can). My all-time…

  • It sounds backwards, but you get rid of water weight by drinking more water. Cutting back on salt might help too.
    in Why did I gain and when will it go down? Comment by smokeyser August 2014
  • This is a little odd. Are you sure the scale is still accurate? The digital ones get a little funny when the batteries get low. Weigh yourself a few times in a row and see if you get the same result every time. If it's changing a lot, you can't really rely on that scale to tell you if you've lost a pound or two. If the…
    in Dont know what Im doing wrong Comment by smokeyser August 2014
  • Actually, carbs and protein provide about the same number of calories. Cheese contains a lot of fat, though, and that DOES add more than double the calories (9 per gram vs 4 per gram in carbs/protein). Personally, I'd eat the pizza as it was made without picking stuff off and just eat fewer slices. If you want to decrease…
