I say eat whichever you feel like. They are both good for you. Cheese can be sneaky with keeping it at a moderate level of consumption and with yogurt I'd try and find the most organic/least amount of sugar. They are both good for you and give you different benefits. So enjoy! |

1. food in your fridge that will never get eaten?? [unless of course it's eaten by someone else] --ranch dressing...it's just sitting there. My brothers like it but they are all in different states or off to college 2. food in your cupboard that you wouldn't dream of ingesting now that you've changed your eating? --I haven't touched yellow rice in awhile, I don't really like it and I'd much rather have brown/steamed rice 3. packaged side dish/entree etc. that you might have and won't eat? --hmmm...don't think there is anything 4. dessert/snack that you won't eat? --my mom's nutrigrain bars, I'd rather have kashi bars 5. food in your freezer that you won't eaT? --the frost on the walls 6. cereal/oats/breakfast food that you probably won't eat? --my mom's raisin bran? although I will if I run out of my cereal and don't get to the store in time 7. canned item that will probably remain in it's can unless acted on by an outside force [not being you...hehe] --some campbell's chunky soup. My dad bought it and he'll eat it 8. beverage/juice/drinkable item not used? --all the juices in the fridge are not touched by me, I'd rather have the real deal and eat an apple or an orange |

I would guess anywhere between 300-400 calories based on their other omelet calorie info. I would estimate more around 400 just to be safe. The first link is IHOP's website. They do provide nutritional info for their "healthy" section of the menu. 2nd website is daily plate's postings of calories in the main dishes at IHOP. http://www.ihop.com/index.php?option=com_cont ent&task=view&id=31 http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/searc h.php?q=&b=IHOP&so=&page=2 |

It's really hard to stay afloat when you start a binging cycle because you start convincing yourself "Okay, I've binged twice this week already, one more day can't hurt" then you find yourself promising to be "good" tomorrow only to find yourself in the same trap the next day. I've definitely been there. I used to have a huge problem with binging but now I've managed to keep it at one or two days a week and sometimes I'll go a couple weeks being binge free. But the problem is still there but we can't give up. What I've done is changed my vocabulary and now I don't say I binge, but rather that I overeat. And when I'm trying to gorge everything in sight I try to go through these things:
Keep your head up hun. You can do this. |

All buffets gross me out. It reminds me so much of school cafeteria's and encourages people to overeat. Chipotle-it's okay but people act like it's the greatest thing on earth Never liked Applebee's, Red Lobster, Laundrys or Fridays that much. Rain Forest Cafe-good atmosphere for kiddos but terribly overpriced for what you get Cracker barrel and waffle house!! c'mon people!! lol :) Waffle house is so cheap and fast, it's the perfect road trip meal. and WHATABUGER!! I have fond memories of late night drunken taquito runs..tehe

All hard liquors are around 60-80 calories per ounce. I drink them straight up or on the rocks. It makes you drink slower and really enjoy the taste of the drink instead of diluting it with soda. But everyone likes different things. As long as your mixing with diet sodas you should be fine since you aren't adding calories. Plus you can always plan your day around the drinks so you are eating/drinking at your calorie goal. One or two drinks isn't going to make you go totally overboard so try not to worry about it too much, just be smart.
