I have changed my eating habits to eating carbs like fruits and veggies, or low sugar meals, and staying away from breads, pastas, cereals, etc. I sometimes at night get a little hungry and want a small snack, like 30 minutes to 1 hr sometimes before bed, which I know is bad to eat before going to bed. I usually eat some…

Thanks for all your help, it is much appreciated.

So eating cereals like honey nut cheerios twice a day, oatmeal, and the 90 calorie packs isn't too many carbs as far as grains and bread type carbs goes? I love fruit and veggie carbs, i just thought i might need to cut some of the breads, grains, pastas. etc. out. I'm not trying to do it for a quick weight loss, but for a…

I have been trying to tighten and lose those stubborn extra pounds. My plan try a low carb diet. I am a big carbs fan. Everyday I eat cereal for breakfast and usually for supper, since I work 12hr shifts, they are whole grains, and actually good for you cereal, but for snacks I usually have 2-3 different types of fruit,…

It would be neat if there was an area where we could post healthy low calorie recipes, just so we could have some different ideas for a healthy meal. I work 12 hours shifts, and need some low calorie meals, like 300 or less, and if possible low carb quick and easy meal ideas. Most of my carbs go to fruit and my morning…

Since everyone is talking about the binge challenge, where do I go to sign up. Some days I do so good on my diet, then other days I come home after working out and want some peanut butter. Peanut butter is my biggest weakness and my binge. Peanut butter is the best bedtime snap for sleeping, I swear the best sleep you will…

I call my mother's house when I visit the fat farm, b/c she always has come type of dessert made. Also I have a BIG craving for peanuts, boiled, peanut m&m's, and the worst peanut butter. If I allowed myself I could sit down with a jar and eat half the jar. Before my diet started, the best bedtime snack, was vanilla wafers…

If i'm going to have a snack now, 8:30 pm which is snack is better for me to have 1 cup of grapes. or a handisnacks pudding cup with 45 calories, 1gm fat, 9 grams of carbs? Need a little something in my stomach post workout. What does public recommend?

My daily goal of proteins is 55. Is that low for a female? I am trying to lose some weight, but my goal is more to lean up, not to bulk up or be a stick. My goal is a toned body. I do some type of cardio workout every day, and I try to get weight training in about 4 days a week. My daily fat count goal is 45, which to me…

Almost every day I'm finding my self either going over or getting very close to my protein count. I am a meat eater and love meat, usually like chicken breasts, and with lunch and dinner I have a serving of meat. I also drink fat free milk in the mornings. It is really bad for you to go over your proteins, I thought if you…

Thanks so much for all of your input. It really does help.

I read the questions and answer forum last night, that is what confused me even more. With the information my BMR 1240, my net that the profile gave me of 1200 calories, and if I exercise and have an additional 400 calories, what is the number of calories I should eat? 1600 right? The 1200 net and 400 exercise?

I think I have been doing this program possibly wrong. My BMR is 1240 calories. My net calories I can eat on a daily basis is 1200, not including exercise. So if I exercise and burn 400 calories, How many should I eat to remain attempting to lose weight? Is it 1640 or less. Should you eat all the exercise calories? If it…

Hello everyone! I have been using my fitness pal for about 5-6 weeks now, and have lost about 3.5 lbs. dieting and exercising. Calorie counting has helped alot, along with the calories burned from exercise. The bad thing about calorie counting and watching what I eat, which is usually healthy, I alot of the time still feel…
