Spicy Tuna Pad Thai w/ PHOTO, $1.50 a serving!
Inspired by an e-mail I received from Clover (the tuna people) I made this today, slightly modified from the original recipe and it was absolutely delicious! Not only that, how many other dinners can you cook in just 15 minutes that are not only healthy but cost ONLY $1.50 a serving! Cost: Pasta, 1/3 box: $0.40 Bean…

Halloween contacts, to buy or not to buy? PICS!
Halloween contacts, to buy or not to buy? PICS! Has anyone bought or used Halloween contacts? Years ago I asked my optometrist about them and he basically said they were “dangerous” especially for people like me who have never worn contacts or glasses before. That was about 10 years ago when they cost $300 and now that…

Help correcting a food plan to meet 1200 but <130g carbs
It seems next to impossible to plan out a daily meal plan that hits 1200 cals minimum but doesn’t go crazy on carbs. I’m really trying to keep my carbs to 40-45% and it seems everything I add increases them too much **All bran is my favourite food in the world and necessary fiber so all I ask is whatever you suggest,…

What to do with coconut milk?
You ever FINALLY buy an ingredient you never ever buy because you read some recipe in the past on MFP then once you finally find this odd item on the shelves and you get home you realize, why did I need this again? I know I was going to try out a Pina Colada Smothie but once I open the can I’d like to use the whole thing…

Curious in the new WW points plus but don't want to pay money to get on a scale or find out how many points you need to eat at your height/weight/gender?

Tomato & Basil Bruschetta w/ PHOTO only 0.5 WW Point!
Thank you to imagymrat, this is her recipe and I take no credit for it. She posted this recipe last Thursday and I got a chance to make it for friends on Saturday. I wanted to re-post this in a forum of its own b/c it deserves to shine and not disappear into a “low cal appetizer?” thread. This recipe is all hers ( just…

What’s your laziest healthy lunch?
I’m sitting her eating a can of tuna that I put a dash of hot sauce on = 113 cals and wondering what other super-simple ideas I could enjoy making in 1 minute or less. What’s your laziest BUT healthy meal?

Salsa and ranch dip - what do do with it!
I have a large jar of natural salsa from Costco and a sour-cream tub of ranch dip that will be expiring June 26th so I'm rushing to find a way to use them. We're having chicken breast wraps for dinner tonight so I'm going to have one ranch wrap and one salsa wrap but other than wraps (including tuna ones) I can't think of…

Found an incredible blender for $25 - had to share
I’m at the cottage this week, I brought up my 5 lb tub of protein powder and all but noticed when we got here Friday night there is no longer a blender :( So in to town we went and I picked up a Sunbeam blender from Walmart, $24.95 Cdn, crazy cheap. My intention was to return it after the week was up but this thing is so…

How many WW Pts Plus per day?
In the old system I was 18-21 pts as I am 5’8 and less than 150 lbs, the lowest bracket. I found online calculators to determine points for food (and yes I understand fruit and veggies are now all 0 pts) to avoid paying to be a member but I can’t seem to find out how many points I can eat daily. I understand the calculator…

Have you had your FREE Subway today?
If you are lucky enough to be Canadian you have an opportunity ;) 7-10 am free breakfast sandwich and coffee. I visited 2 locations within 5 minutes of each other, both were out of coffee but that’s ok, I don’t drink it anyway. Depending on your location they may be stingy and not give you veggies, both of my locations…

Vi-Shape Diet - 680 cals a day.... ummm not good!
I made a thread recently looking for a BB coach to sell Shakology at cost. Yea, I was dreaming but in that process someone mentioned Vi-Shape Nutrition Shake. Like Shakology it has tones of nutrients and vitamins found in everyday food so its not just a protein powder. Ok, now that I’ve sounded like an infomercial, I was…

What can a nutritionist do that MFP can’t?
A nutritionist would most likely have a bias would they not? If you don’t have an existing medical condition, are healthy and not overweight wouldn’t they just end up suggesting a meal plan that is the same for everyone i.e. 45% carbs 30% protein 25% fat just like MFP? Just wondering if it’s worth about $100 an hour to…

Giant Muffins only 270 cals! - DOWNTOWN TORONTO
If you work/live in the downtown core (specifically the Financial District) I’ve discovered Marcello’s in The Path. I love muffins and vita-tops are just too small to be satisfying and McDonald’s great price ($1.25) is enticing but 450 cals for their double chocolate muffin is just unacceptable. All of the nutritional…

Apple Cake ONLY 2 WW points!
This is my fav, so low fat, a great way to use those bags of apples that are such a great deal and it definitely satisfies the carb-lover in us all. Just try and not eat the whole pan! 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp cinnamon 1 dash salt ½ cup sugar 2 egg whites 3 small apples, peeled, cored and chopped…

Last day at work - what to feed my office???
Tomorrow is my last day and this office has been incredible, I'm really going to miss these people so I'd like to make them something as a thank you. I am well known for my smoothies and healthy recipes but it doesn’t have to be limited to healthy, I kind of want what’s easy since there are 90 people in this branch, 33…

You were doing so well and were so pumped on the news feed but after your 90 day program was up you got quiet and today I noticed you were no longer on my friends list, sad face over here, awwww rejected :( You were from Nova Scotia and 5’8 like myself but with a goal of 120 lbs and I don’t care if that’s under BMI, I was…

Piña Colada - 2 WW Points W/ PHOTO
Did MFP spur on your curiosity of coconut milk? Do you not like curry and hence would rather use your newly found low-cal canned discovery for something fun? I present, the low-cal Virgin Piña Colada, mmmmmmmm! ½ cup fresh pineapple ½ cup low calorie coconut milk (mine had 40 cals per ½ cup, 3.5g fat) 1 sweetener packet…

Pure Protein Jello Snacks. I havent tried these yet but stumbled upon it after I was e-mailed an offer for a coupon (sign up and get $1 off) this morning. It's $4.99 for 3 so not super cheap but I wouldnt expect something with 23 g of protein in it to be. Only 100 calories as well. Available at GNC only (including online)…

Egg Blossoms w/ PHOTO – 3 WW Points (for 2)
I stumbled upon a MFP’ers blog a few days ago, found a cutie recipe, modified it to be easier to make and it turned out PERFECT! Only problem is I can’t find this person/thread in the search to give her credit. She called these ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ b/c she blended the eggs and spinach to hide it from her kids. I called…
