Veteran 287 | Subject: RE: Nutrition Thread - Week of 8/31 - 9/6 Hi all! I'm back from vacation and trying to get back to my 1200 calorie daily nutrition plan. It does not help that all I want to eat are cookies and candies. Trying to stay away from them. Maybe I should consider the 12-Week No Sugar Challenge Here is my plan toast + pear for breakfast (7AM) small banana for snack (10AM) tuna salad on multigrain bread (12PM) small banana (planned for afternoon snack) lean turkey meatloaf + salad (planned for dinner) Must resist cookies.. Must resist cookies.. |

Extreme Veteran 535 Central New York | Subject: RE: Nutrition Thread - Week of 8/31 - 9/6 I'm in again for this week too. I also started the no-sugar challenge today. I think I will have to watch the latte intake this week, since that is what I like to "treat" myself with when I can't have something sweet. I did good yesterday, and today looks good so far. I will post the full report this evening. |

Subject: RE: Nutrition Thread - Week of 8/31 - 9/6 woo! I'm glad this is here! I was on vacation and then got pretty sick, but I'm in this week (starting with today). Finally getting some bloodwork done to determine if I have any food allergies, so that's good. |

Subject: RE: Nutrition Thread - Week of 8/31 - 9/6 Bill - what about just writing out what you eat each day and forgetting about the calories for now? Maybe you can try another logging site to see if it works better for you. I find TDP to be pretty tedious too, mostly because I can't add the time when I log via "foods most commonly eaten". Maybe give calorie-count a try? That is my all-time favorite site and the one I'm most familiar with, although you might not think it's much better. Sparkpeople.com is also not too bad - as long as you have an adblocker to kill their annoying shady ads. It also has a good public view page too that you can link to directly.

Extreme Veteran 535 Central New York | Subject: RE: Nutrition Thread - Week of 8/31 - 9/6 wgraves7582 - 2009-09-03 2:40 PM You guys are doing great. I just cannot handle the logging of everything. Gets tedious after a while. I am doing well and joined the 12-week No Sugar Challenge to help ward off those nasty snacks and treats and pop and it is going well so far. I am still here - just not doing the whole daily plate logging thing. There must be an easier way??? Have a great day and stay strong! I'm with you on Daily Plate, Bill...way to time-consuming. I'm just not going to worry about the calories...I sometimes get too caught up in that anyway. On that note, here is my day: Breakfast: Smoothie w/ 1 scoop whey protein, 1 scoop Amazing Green Superfoods, Greek yogurt, 1/2 banana, several strawberries, handful raspberries, ww english muffin w/ lf cream cheese and fruit spread, coffee w/ cream Lunch: peach, 2 chicken meatballs w/ sauce and cheese Snack: carrots and celery w/ all-natural pb workout: 1 hr bike ride snack: Larabar Dinner: small hamburger, 1/2 bun, tomato, 1/2 ear corn, watermelon Snack: handful granola (low-sugar) nuggets Have a great night! |

Extreme Veteran 535 Central New York | Subject: RE: Nutrition Thread - Week of 8/31 - 9/6 Very nice, Danielle!! I had a really hard day today. I volunteered at a race that I was supposed to be racing, but can't because of my injured foot. They said that they would have breakfast for the volunteers, so I just had a peach before I left home. When I got there, the breakfast was donuts or blueberry muffins. I handed out water and chocolate milk to all of the finishers...I love chocolate milk. My family went out for ice cream after dinner. It was a day full of trials. Here is how it went: Breakfast: peach, banana, coffee w/ cream Lunch: Big hamburger w/ bacon and blue cheese, salad w/ balsamic dressing, pickles Snack: larabar Dinner: 2 small pieces Homemade pizza w/ ww crust (pesto, cheese, tomatoes) and salad Dessert: Frozen banana "ice cream' w/ a sprinkle of pecans all in all, not a bad day, considering. |

Subject: RE: Nutrition Thread - Week of 8/31 - 9/6 Hey everybody - I'm going to start this week's thread over in the Nutritional Cafe. I think there might be some people there wanting to share their nutrition but who might not visit the weight loss forum. Hope you'll join me over there! |
