Yum!

Can't wait to try a few of these!

Raw veggies, cooked onions and garlic, dried fruit, and sometimes beans make me feel like I'm going to pop. I have to really watch my portion sizes. Wheat products or other carbs don't cause any problems. I'm sure it's a personal thing. My mom can't tolerate gluten or dairy without bloating. I think you'll just have to do…

Awesome! Thanks!

I work 10p-6a 5 days a week with a bit of overtime occasionally. I log my food from wake-up to sleep regardless of how many hours I'm up or what day it falls on. I broke my log into 4 hour blocks of time. Keeps it simple especially on those days when I have to be up during the day. I usually get up between 2 and 4 in the…

awesome! thanks

I keep my calorie limit between 1400-1500 on days I don't work out. I up it to 1600-1800 on the days I work out if I burned a bunch of calories. I also have one day a week that I eat about 2000-2200 calories...it's my "free" day. Any day under 1300 calories mean I'm sick, I slept really late and went to bed early or I'm…

I work shift work too. My schedule changes every few months...just so happens I'm on midnights now. Regardless of the shift I'm working, I eat breakfast whenever I get up, have lunch about 4 hours later, and then dinner about 6 hours after that. I also eat 2-3 snacks and when I get home if I am hungry (nearly all the time…

Cheese! Nothing better than a bunch of different cheeses with a little fruit and a few crackers.

I love cashew butter! It's awesome on wheat crackers...or with anything!

MFP has my level set for 1200, but eating that amount leaves me hungry and cranky with difficulty concentrating so I upped it. I average 1350-1550 calories per day regardless of exercise. It seems to be working for me. I've lost 10.4 lbs in 6 weeks. I'm very happy with it especially since I'm on several meds.

If you like indian food, I made this recipe (with a few tweaks to reduce fat and heat) a couple days ago. I eat it with brown rice. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/wolfgang-puck/dal-recipe/index.html Oh..it says 4-6 servings, but for my family, it's 10-15 servings depending on who is eating it.

This used to happen to me. For me, it was an exercise induced migraine. I had to learn to breathe more steadily and to take breaks when I could feel it starting to build. Until I learned that I thought my head was going to explode especially when doing mountain climbers or pushing the weighted sled. It's better now, but I…

Tuna, cubed avocado, fresh dill and lemon juice. It's the best. I like to stuff into a tomato. My husband eats it as a sandwich or with crackers.

I'm glad something stopped you from taking all of those pills. I hope you reached out to your doctor, therapist, or support group too.

I am exactly the same way. I want to run, but can't go more than a minute or so right now. I have a Jeff Galloway training guide I'm using to plan my attack. Just keep at it. I'm sure we'll both be running distance soon.
