Fitbit one... Activities question

Rice Cakes
I love love love the plain salted rice cakes. I could eat them all day...but I dont. :) I use them as a snack generally plain but I know I need some protein with them to keep me hungry. I have used PB and that is about it to top them. What do you put on your rice cakes to keep you satisified?

Healthy Cookbooks
Are there any cookbooks or websites you use to come up with new healthy recipies.

For example...last night I have 3 oz of grilled…

Sauteed Veggies
Yesterday my husband sauteed Onion and bell peppers for me and it was so heavily coated with butter and olive oil... It was not what I thought it was going to be like. I think he gets too happy with butters and oils. (He was offended that I thought it was too heavy in oils) I love sauteed veggies but I am trying to make a…

Early Morning Workouts
I get up at 4:45 every morning to do my workouts...anywhere here do that as well? I'm looking at what you do this early in the AM to prevent nausea during workouts.

Kind Bars....
I love love love their bars but each one is about 190-210 in calories. For me...that is a meal. What bars do you like that are natural they are lower in calories?

Watching what I'm eating but....
I just started on my wightloss journey again and I noticed when I'm watching every calorie I eat I have a hard time deciding what I'm going to eat and try my hardest to never go over the suggested calories.

Under my calories today
When you are under your calories for the day do you try and make them up with snacks or a bigger meal? I tend to under eat when I watching what I eat due to me cutting all the junk out of my diet. I am still short calories for the day and I know noth taking in enough calories hinders weightloss.
