  • I'm not familiar with almond milk specifically, but I do know that the acidity of coffee (combined with heat) cause soy milk and some other non-dairy milk items to curdle. It's not actually going bad, it won't make you sick, but it is icky to look at. If your almond milk is fine in tea or a hot chocolate, it may be that…
  • Apart from the standard answers (bananas, toast, or on a spoon) I like to eat it mixed with plain Greek yogurt, or (and it's ok if this sounds weird but seriously try it some time) on egg whites. I cook my eggs and then put 1T of unsalted, unsweetened pb on top. It's amazing. I buy the unsweetened, unsalted stuff from a…
  • I have an recipes using coconut cream as a base. There are several versions, but this seems to be a simple one: http://www.gooseberrymooseberry.com/2012/02/peach-cupcakes-with-coconut-cream.html?m=1
  • I recently increased my calories from1200 to 1500. While I was definitely never hungry on 1200, I have a little more leeway to eat a better variety on 1500. I dont eat a bigger quantity necessarily, but try to change what I eat so I feel more like a "normal person" and less like a bunny. Even just adding a little olive oil…
  • I like to buy silk dark chocolate almond milk, mix 1/2 cup in with my coffee...dairy-free, and won't break the calorie bank.
  • One thing I think helps is eating a bunch of smaller meals or snacks throughout the day. If I know I'm going to be eating every 2 hours, I'm usually not even compelled to go dig out a treat when I have a rough spot during the day. I also am less likely to think that I am STARVING and overeat. I pre-portion out several…
  • And thanks all for your replies and support!
  • I thInk the fact that I have not cut out foods (or food groups) is really a key element. I cannot understand how people handle those diets where you have a "shake" 3 times a day instead of eating. I wouldn't make it a day. Before I even started, I decided that this has to be a sustainable plan for both diet and fitness.…
  • About the only real tip I have is to try to cook or make as much of your food as possible. I am always amazed how much extra "junk" sneaks in to packaged or pre-prepared foods. I love to cook, so I make virtually everything I eat from scratch. I also eat a ton of veggies (they tend to be the biggest part of all my meals)…
  • I like to make a 100 calorie popcorn and drizzle it with 1-2 T warm caramel ice cream topping. It's like candy.
  • 2 of the 50 cal tortillas from La tortilla factory. Add an assortment of veggies ( I like peppers and mushrooms) and a sprinkle of cheese for a veggie quesadilla. 2 ritz crackers dipped in peanut butter and chocolate ( really more of a treat, but they come put to about 70 cal each, so i make a dozen of them at the start of…
  • My new favorite breakfast is an egg ( or egg whites sometimes) cracked into 1/2 an avocado (just crack the egg into the indentation from the pit). Add pepper and microwave 2 min. Super tasty!!
