175 Cal Miracle Dessert!!!
You guys, I was still hungry after dinner last night, so I had 1/2 cup of 2% Fage Total plus 1 tbsp peanut butter and a little stevia. This 175 cal dessert filled me up like nothing else and I ended up with a 300+ calorie deficit at the end of the day (wasn't planning on that)! Try it!

1-Ingredient Ice Cream!
My boss came in today raving about this. She made it for her family and both little girls (including one who is staunchly anti-fruit) ate a big old plate of it. Pretty amazing! http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/stay-cool/how-to-make-creamy-ice-cream-with-just-one-ingredient-093414

No hrm: Calculating Cal Burn on Elliptical
I normally get all my exercise through running, but a sore knee is forcing me to cool it for a bit. I don't have a HRM. How do I go about calculating my burned calories on an elliptical trainer? Should I rely on what the machine tells me? I am 5'5 and weigh 127.

In Defense of Bacon.
* Steps onto soapbox * I think bacon has been unfairly cast as a dietary enemy. Sure, it's full of unhealthy fat, but a little tiny bit goes a LONG way. I see bacon as the ambassador of the vegetable kingdom. I have converted my husband from meat 'n white bread eater to veggie lover, partially because of the magic of…

400 Cal. Turkey Enchiladas
Delicious! Realized I had some expiring ground turkey in the fridge with some barely-alive broccoli and whipped this up. Definitely not "authentic" but it was satisfying and tasty. More sauce would be yummy, but I was trying to manage calories. BTW, I didn't make this with onion (I didn't have one on hand) but it was still…

Quinoa Sensitivity - Need New Grains!
I am a big fan of quinoa. I like its nuttiness, its chewiness, and the fact that it can be eaten sweet or savory at ANY meal! The problem? My body cannot digest the stuff! I never used to rinse off the saponins, and it didn't seem to be a problem. I could eat as much quinoa as I wanted. The last few times, however, I've…

Going to bed hungry
I have not slept well the past 2 nights, and I'm pretty sure it's because I am going to bed a little bit hungry. I woke up in the middle of the night both nights STARVING. Yikes! Took me a while to get back to sleep, too. I didn't eat back all of my exercise calories on both days. Anyone else experience a bad night of…

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Lover's Bar
You guys? I love dessert. Love, love, love. If you go into my food diary you will see that I eat too much of it, every day. I was never a big dark chocolate fan - I am into creamy, cakey, ice creamy goodness. But I bought the 85% cacao Dark Chocolate Lover's Bar from TJ's and I am a convert! I had 150 cals worth last night…

Quinoa Warning
Hey guys! Quinoa is a big favorite here at MFP, but I just want to reinforce the importance of thoroughly washing it before eating! I used to eat it without rinsing, thinking that maybe I just wasn't affected by the saponins. Lately, however, I have had some very painful digestive issues after eating it, even after a quick…

"Dutch Baby" Oven Pancakes
Hey everyone, Just wanted to share an old fashioned recipe (new to me, though) that tastes super rich but is actually reasonable in terms of calories. I halved the following recipe and it was just the right amount for me and my husband. I estimated the calories per saving at about 330-350, depending on what you top it…
