The 5 Grossest Things You're Eating
O.M.G. I can't express how happy I am that I decided to cut processed white foods out of my diet (bread, rice, etc.), that I prefer Italian dressing, don't like shirmp or jelly beans, and that my mushrooms are always fresh! http://health.yahoo.net/experts/eatthis/5-grossest-foods-supermarket (Don't read the article if…

My friends are horrible for my diet! D:<
Last night after having a somewhat-decent food/exercise day (all the Valentines Day candy is on sale, the HORROR! D: ) My friends asked me to come out and judge their hot wing eating contest. I thought, "No problem! I'm a vegetarian, therefore I won't want to eat anything!" How epically wrong I was.... They ordered fried…

Calorie Count vs Sugar Intake
So I was wondering if anyone had any insight onto calories vs sugar consumed? For example, my calories are set at 1350, but most of the time I earn extra calories from exercise (I try to do at least 30 minutes a day). But almost EVERY DAY I go over my recommended sugar intake. My calorie intake is usually below or right at…

How Realistic Am I Being?
Alright so, I am 5'9" and currently weigh 158 pounds. My goal weight is 145 because I was 147 in high school when I was in swimmer shape (without watching what I was eating). But looking at a BMI chart, if I got to 137 pounds I would be at a BMI of 20 which I think would be great. But my question is, would I be able to do…

What's a Good High Protein Vegetarian Breakfast?
And the catch? I don't like eating eggs (scrambled, omelets, etc.)... So far I've been eating cottage cheese, peanut butter on whole wheat toast, a protein shake or veggie sausage patties, but I just need more variety! Any suggestions would be appreciated! :)

Vegetarian starting P90X...
So I'm getting ready to start P90X for the first time, and I want to follow the program as closely as possible. The only problem that I've encountered is that the meal plan is not vegetarian. Some things I can easily switch out like I can use veggie bacon instead of turkey bacon, a veggie burger instead of a turkey burger,…

I hate eggs!
But... I want to find a way to use them for breakfast sometimes. (I'd prefer to use just the whites) I tried this a while ago, just scrambling up some egg whites, but I just couldn't handle the texture. I had to put them on a practically burnt piece of toast and smother them in ketchup. And even then I had to choke them…

Swimming
I am a member of the South West Aquatic Masters team, and I do 1 hour workouts Monday-Friday. Those workouts consist of swimming, kicking, and pulling a mixture of the different strokes. The workouts are different every day, and we also have some time on the wall waiting to hear the next part of the workout. So, because…

Vegetarian/Vegan Foods
So I've been a vegetarian for about 5 years now, an I mostly used tofu and Morning Star products for my meat/protein substitute. But then yesterday at Trader Joes I discovered Tofurky Italian Sausage with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Basil and OHMIGOSH! They're AWESOME! Just one link (which is pretty big) is only 270 calories!…

Should I Trust My Wii Balance Board?
On June 16th I was weighed by my doctor and I was 158.2 pounds. I just got Wii Fit Plus yesterday and weighed myself last night, and it said that I was 153.7 pounds. I figured that could be true because after the doctor I started really focusing on my diet and last Monday (6/27) I started swimming 1 mile+ every weekday.…

Food That Makes You Hungrier
I've noticed that after eating certain foods like carrots and apples, I'm actually hungrier than I was before I ate them. The same applies to many other vegetables that I eat, which is a HUGE problem because I'm a vegetarian. I've tried to eat not as many processed foods like pasta or bread, but if all I eat is fruit and…
