Oh, I'm not looking for low fat, too. I'm just struggling to find foods or meals that provide that balance of protein and fat. I find myself at the end of the day basically needing to eat low fat protein or something completely different from what I'd planned on eating, because I'm closer to a 5/80/20 ratio. I'd like to…

This thread is brilliant, I've been needing a chocolate fix. Thanks! :)

This is brilliant - thank you!

mebuthalf - that's what I'm doing, too. Aiming to keep it at or under 35 net carbs, started yesterday. I'll send you a friend request. :)

Love this idea, thanks for sharing!

I like Now Foods Whey protein that comes unflavored. You can add it to anything and it doesn't alter the taste. It's especially good mixed with a cup of light chocolate soy milk. Chobani 0% Greek yogurt is also a great source of protein. Add a tiny bit of sweetener and fruit and it's delicious!

I joined on Saturday. :) I'm using both sites, which is kind of a pain to do right now, but the good thing is that I'm seeing that if I log everything in MFP and calculate all of the Fat/Fiber/Protein/Carbs of all of the foods (except fruit) and add that to the WW calculator, it seems to be right on the money with what my…

Let's go Flyers!!! As an Atlanta, GA resident, I'm super sad that we lost our NHL team this year and I won't be able to go to games anymore. I might travel to Nashville or Tampa during the season to catch a game or two.

Lots of good info here: http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/nutrition/iron.html If you're open to supplements, prenatal vitamins are great. I was told by my doctors that I needed to start taking an iron supplement because my iron was too low; started prenatals and my iron was up in to healthy ranges within 2 weeks.

NOW Foods has an excellent flavorless whey protein powder. It's also inexpensive and you can order it through Amazon.

As someone who had their jaw wired shut for 6 weeks, I can honestly sympathize. Definitely get yourself some Ensure, it is the best way for you to be sure that you're getting all of the vitamins/nutrition that you need. Pick up a good strainer if you don't have one, so that you can strain the foods that you puree and make…

Ingredientses Really? REALLY?

Do you have a check from your bank because you're paying cash out of an account of yours or because you're taking a loan out with your bank? If you're taking a loan out with you bank, consider if you'd be willing to take a loan out through the dealership instead, if they can offer you the same terms or better. 99% of the…

Thinkgeek.com :wink: I actually have a perfume that smells like a library. I love it! :laugh:

Reese's peanut butter eggs/pumpkins/christmas trees, etc. Those things are my downfall. I'd buy 3-4 6 packs a week and hide them in my room so my roommate didn't know my shame. I would do the 'eat all of something and replace it before anyone noticed' thing as well. I did so much secret eating it was ridiculous. I still…

I thank God that I don't have to do that; I'm not sure I'd make it. Just thinking about it now has me wanting one so badly. Ugh.

I want this t-shirt.

I can't play WoW, or I would never stop and no one would ever hear from me again. LOL I'm reading GoT, as well; actually I'm on to book 2 now and taking my time because I know there are only 3 other books out and the next one is probably 5 years or so away. I learned the hard way with Harry Potter that blowing through the…

I think I killed the thread. :blushing:

Oh - I live in Atlanta so i've been going (with a few absences) for over 10 years. That's probably the geekiest thing I DO. :) As for geekiest thing I love, it's a long list: Big Bang Theory (most especially Sheldon and his knocking style and his use of the word BAZINGA!) LoTR Star Wars Doctor Who and Torchwood (Jack/Ianto…

bump! These sound delish!

It'd be easier if you didn't have the frakking clown waiting to eat my SOUL with you all of the time! :)

Yes, there is. I was pretty ambivalent to your post until you started revealing that you think that because YOU don't agree with something (crude or vulgar language), it should be taken elsewhere. Huh. Well, I personally loathe hearing about people's personal Christian beliefs and/or the prosthelytizing of such beliefs.…

Sounds delicious! How long do you cook the meatballs in the oven?

Can't wait to try so many of these recipes, especially various pumpkin smoothie ones. I am getting bored with my current breakfast smoothie and pumpkin is just the thing to spice it up! :)

These sound great and I love the name. :) Definitely want to see pics!

Most of my suggestions have probably already been covered, but here they are anyway: 1 - Buy grains, beans and meats in bulk if you can. If you have a local health food store, they may sell brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat coucous and various dried beans in bulk. This is always cheaper than name brand food, because you're…

I was in the same room as him, about 100 feet away, about 2 weeks ago and I about fell over. He is even more gorgeous in person and his voice. *swoon* Also, I find this super sexy. Booth, in a hot bath, with a comic book and a beer helmet. HOT.
