Got the munchies today and drove past McDonalds with my buddy. Made the decision to cheat a little over my calories and ordered 4 dollar menu sandwiches. Surprisingly, only after eating 3, I felt stuffed and decided to let my friend have my 4th. It ended up keeping me below my daily allowance still!

Punk rock!

Obviously you never read this http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1308408-why-aspartame-isn-t-scary?page=1 that basically explains that aspartame in the amounts tested on rats are HUNDREDS of doses more than we could possibly consume in a day through drinks and whatnot as well as the fact aspartame is broken down…

After spending 5 min scrolling that I will never get back, I find it ironic that OP had one of those "looking for those looking to lose 50+".

Literally calories in calories out. If you actually burned 2500 in a day, regardless of innate fears, according to science, you won't gain weight. Instead by not eating them back, you would be at a deficit and lose weight.

I eat 1199 calories a day and I don't think I'm going to die in the next 15 minutes.

Sir, are you high? Or on anything we should know about?

I've lost 60 pounds onjust slim jims :)

^^ TROLL :)

you could probably unscrew a couple of things and pour some water into the exposed wires near the very back. I'm sure you could manage that with the doctor's back turned around.

work hard jk

Hmm. Good thing to know if I ever end up as Forrest Gump.

I love seeing the people that actually take this seriously.

I take kimchi and unflavored greek yogurt.

Lol. Got nothing good to say, dont bother saying it at all. Typical lurker sitting on a high horse looking down at others with no real input to benefit others. As for the OP, if you like Asian cooking, you can always make 1 pot of rice, a large stirfry of some sort or curry. Portion this up, and you can be set with a meal…

Homemade spring roll. That actually made me sad because that was supposed to be an afternoon snack the next day.

Which satisfies cravings better and which one is healthier? I don't wanna make the same mistake again.

I guess because some people want a bigger helping of mac and cheese without a. feeling bad about it or b. because they would like to make a large meal out of a high calorie food?

Muscle breakdown before fat breakdown is a myth (only happens unless you are 4% body fat already). But metabolism slowing (adaptive thermogenesis) is a completely different story. Long story short, your metabolism will never slow down to the point where a defecit wont cause you to lose weight, but it definitely can…

Was it relatively cheap or pretty expensive? At any of those locations? I have a Safeway and Giant about 10 min drive away. Whole Foods (arent prices here ususally more expensive) about 20 min away, and a Costco 30 min away. Is the Costco Almond Milk only come in the Vanilla flavor and is it unsweeted? I would really enjoy…

First things first- the ziti noodles have a horrible fishy smell that apparently comes with preservatives right out of the bag. I find that if you rinse the "miracle shirataki ziti" until the smell mostly dissapears and then boil and drain, the smell goes away. In order to get more of the pasta texture however, I end up…

Stop throwing around that 1200 number. More misinformation after misinformation.

Im just glad most of your diet isnt comprised of one group mostly or leaving out any. eg some low to non-existent carb diets. all protein. etc

Oops. But yeah, macros are basically the nutrient goals you are trying to hit for your calorie range, ie protein fiber carbohydrates fat.

If you want even a bit more flavor and texture, add 1 serving of bread and butter pickle slices for a sweet/sour tangy crunch for only 15-20 calories more.

This is my favorite 300 calorie sandwich. 2 slices of whole wheat bread (60 cal each slice). 1 oz of feta (75 cal). 1 tsp of crushed black pepper or crushed chili pepper (depends on whether you like it spicy). 2 oz of 99% lean turkey (60cal). 1 medium tomato (25 cal) sliced. 10 basil leaves (5cal). Toast it to perfection…

HEHEHEH. A gigantic everything bagel with seeds nuts etc halved and toasted to perfection. 4 tablespoons of garlic and chives cream cheese(2 per side). A good 6 oz of Gravilox norwegian sliced cured salmon. 10 thin slices of cucumber. Capers, dill, and more chives! Lastly, one poached egg. A 1200 CALORIE BOMB THAT IS TO…

no visits to the md for you.

Funnily enough, I'm at an internship at the Federal Trade Commision this summer in the Division of Advertising Practices. One of the cases I worked on was the Dr. Oz Green Coffee Bean extract mess with Lindsay Duncan. I was at the Senate Hearing about a month ago where Oz got grilled by Senator McCaskill. It was fun and…

Slices of apples, onions, and some brie slathered in dijon mustard, but you could definitely use a sharp cheese. This is definitely spicy, but its delicious and you get a dopamine kick out of it.
