how does it become solid, crust like? is it like a caramel crust (sugar dissolved in egg whites)?

it kills... i tell ya. i just close my mouth until saliva forms in my mouth.

thanks for analyzing my breakfast and breaking it down step by step. 800 cal is WAY too much for breakfast. I am a self confessed binger and yeah today wasn't great day to be proud of. I tend to binge after i'm stressed/ tired/ bored and once I have a sweet creamy taste I'm after food for ages.

One of my weapons to counter act a binge is a carrot. I chew on a carrot and drink some water and I am good to go.

I'm a runner and always look to that as an excuse to eat poorly however if doesn't change anything. Also the baby in the picture is my mom's friend's baby lol. Thank you for the concern on the breast milk thing. I didn't know that food you eat is transfered that way.

boredom, stress, when new food is brought into the house, tiredness, guilt, cereal, bread, sugar.

So we read all the triggers... what do you guys do to solve the urge to eat? I don't have a solution at all and I've been gaining weight right after I lost weight... embarrassing huh?

I'm glad I came across this post... very interesting how so many things trigger eating.

alayney has a point.. retrain yourself to not want that "full" feeling... i mean i love that full feeling however when i get to that point then i eat the whole day to keep that full feeling. once you do exercise being full then you understand how uncomfortable the full feeling is.

you're not alone.. i need to retrain my urges to eat more too... how do you do it alayney?

hey guys whats up? i hear rivergrrl..kk.... safina (i love apples too!) molly's adorable anniversary story... 2bb... 4sq... anything new?

no real time to read everything and comment... wish i had time.

i feel like baking or making some food but i don't know WHAT... i have a little bit of oats... some brown rice... and tons of wheat flour.... i wanted to make whole wheat bread but my mom hid the yeast and i'm not an experienced baker or anything.

any recipe ideas? i love sweet but healthy... something i could snack on like muffins but i'm sick of making the same stuff.... something interesting

-HB

way to go guys... kk... molly... 4sq.... 2bb... vstar... booster... anyone i miss?

didn't have time this week for computer AT ALL...

tuesday meet: clocked 3:09 half mile (tied my personal best).

tomorrow (aka saturday) meet: going to run the mile in 6:50.....

i stink at sprints... thursday's practice i was like the last person though i did maintain my pace for 6 repeats but 94 seconds for 400 meters just doesn't appeal to me because i know i could be faster its just my body shuts down on me sometimes...

i barely ate this week except today on friday i just totally binged and it's 7pm and tomorrow i have a meet 8am... i am SO FULLL!!!!! i am so hoping it doesn't affect my performance tomorrow... should i drink some water even though i'm full to get rid of the feeling?

g2g... more homework and stuff

-HB

lol kk.... 5 servings of fruit? like total? DANG.......

well i guess i know where i need to work on. ok today i'll give an effort to get in three servings.

1/2 cup of strawberries count right? anyway maybe the more servings of fruit i add the less fattening sweets i would eat? i don't know but there's something about breaded sweets that just satisfy me (i.e cookes, cake, cinnamon bun, the works).

but i'm glad i took control the whole planning thing absolutely helped... but i had to keep modifying it through out the day as people in the house ate all the food i was planning to eat and my mom's friend brought this vegan dish with some homemade tomato sauce.. how can you resist homemade?

ok g2g to practice.... talk to everyone later.

I'm Missing Jella... Since Friday was yesterday for her, at school, she'll probably be off-line till our Sunday, unless she finds a way to fix her internet-- Hope so!!! She isn't being quiet, I realized! She's already through with Friday and home for the weekend!

lol what??

thanks 2BB for the help... it feels so good just sticking to a plan. i don't know why but if its written down or something i have to follow it no matter what. it's weird but i just love that planning meals works so well. Nordic Track? is that a type of tredmill? that's so cool! i wish i had a tredmill at home.. if i ever miss practice then i could run on that inside without my parents yelling at me.

every friday we have pizza... do you guys have Dominiks grocery store? if you do then you would know that every friday they have pizza $5 per box.

time is key... if i was a stay at home mom maybe it would be easier for me to plan meals and all. i just want to be efficient at that part and balance my life.

cottage cheese.. geese safina and booster i love your cottage cheese idea.. if i had some right now i would attempt the smoothie idea and have it with honey and strawberries on a cracker... YUM ^_^

report for the millionth time later. i'm reading about collage prep... they sent a package and even though i'm just a freshman the read says it's important to prepare early. i feel very confident now.

my planned nutrition report... i'm totaling 15.9% protein and 23. 9% fat... all the time i have more fat than protein... that's so annoying! but i'm not going to lie planning out my meal today feels so good because i find myself not wandering to the kitchen and snacking. i'm really following this plan and all you know? jella and 2BB thanks for the advice... i just love this feeling so far... i'm not even like focusing on eating and all i just have to look at the plan and follow it and then i'm done.

anyway...

total grams: 1,858

Daily Sodium Intake - 1,755 mg
Daily Sugar Intake - 121 grams
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 100 mg
Daily Saturated Fat Intake - 12 grams
Daily Fiber Intake - 28 grams

healthy levels for such

Daily Sodium Intake - 2,400 mg max
Daily Sugar Intake - 40 grams at most of refined sugar..
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 300 mg max
Daily Saturated Fat Intake - ??? 5-7% total calories
Daily Fiber Intake - 20 grams at least

so i think i did good on sat. fat intake, cholesterol (that's a first!), sodium (oddly a little low) and fiber intake... well i would love to jack it up to 30 grams but i'll have to see my eating habits.

the sugar intake i'm confused about.. does CC count all carbs (counting fruits) or just refined sugar? if just refined sugar then that's something i need to work on.

well today for track we jogged a mile (and maybe a half) warm up, 8 200 sprints (3 person relay) and a mile cool down. then we did 4 sets of 25 crunches and 10 push ups and then 25 long sit ups.

i don't know about the warm up and cool down because those were pretty slowish medium pace.. around 8 min per mile? it was more like a jog.

473 cal burned per hour of jogging

it says 675 cal burned per hour for track practice

and for calisthenics ("heavy vigerous sit ups and push ups")- 540 cal per hour

for light- moderate calisthenics (going up and down from floor)-  236 cal per hour

i would say that our practice lasted about an hour but we started a little later than 8:15 and came back at 9:15 so i mean it would be fair to say that we probably did 30 min of jogging and and 20 minutes of track practice and then like 10 min of calisthenics (i'll average between the two)

236 jogging +225 track practice+ 64 cal calisthenics= 524 calories burned

on road run days i would burn about 433 cal + 64 calisthenics= 497 cal (well actually we do sit ups and crunches then go lift but i'll just use that estimate). Assuming that I am running at an 9 min mile pace for 4 miles for 35 min (actually it would be an 8.40 min. mile pace).

i'll finish this post later... my sister is being annoying.

oh no things have turned a dark shadowed wall (if that even makes sense) on life. they say the most strongest people are the ones that pull it through. My condolences to Jella for her dog.

i feel a little crummy too... yesterday i total around 1,700 most and literally felt starved and today i total 2,400 cal thinking i was eating normally (not too much and not too little). boy was i wrong! i consumed too much fat. my body feels like i have been consuming too much fat... i just feel all icky like i have high cholesterol or something even though i don't or probably do but not too serious (this is a risky assumption).

if i eliminated the cheesecake, nuts, ice cream bar (230 cal!), little piece of dark chocolate, yogos bits, and extra cereal i would be at 1,358 cal. So for me to feel full I should keep the nuts (250) but then i would be deprived from my sweet tooth so i could have taken the cereal (130 cal) but cereal never leaves me satisfied. i already had an apple and a banana... i could have had two apples today but then i would need the protein...

geese this is hard.

should i post what i ate today? or would the list be too long?

i'll post what i ate... for the past week i've been munching on cereal with soy milk and banana slices... i love the taste but i'm never completely satisfied, only the soy milk does the job.

breakfast

boiled, leftover, frozen veggies- 55 cal

peas in pod- 101 cal

mized nuts- 250 ( i was munching it with the veggies)

large apple- 110 cal

lunch

corn flakes- 101 cal

1 slice deli turkey- 25 cal

soft tortilla- 72 cal

cheddar cheese 1/2 oz- 56

home squeezed apple carrot juice- 162 cal

1/2 tbs pasta sauce- 4 cal? (that's what it says though it's probably higher)

1 tbs baba ganoush- 17 cal

dinner

mom's cheesecake- 257 cal

cream of mushroom 1 cup- 103 cal

broccoli 2 large stocks- 196 cal

grilled chicken breast- 142 cal

spinach- 10 cal

snacks

vanilla ice cream bar- 240 cal

strawberry yogos- 90 cal

honey bunches of oats cereal- 130 cal

silk vanilla soy milk- 100 cal

piece of dark chocolate- 75 cal

total: 2,420 cal

i honestly felt like i ate normally... well aside from the sweets.... there hasn't been any wheat bread for me though i do have wheat flour so i wanted to make my own wheat bread but i'm a bad cook.

if you were to make homemade wheat bread how long would it last?

i drank water but not as much as i did yesterday... *sigh* i have a good day then back to bad habits...

first habit i'll work on is stop eating at... 7pm no matter what type of food i ate (even if there's fresh steamed broccoli, it shouldn't be eaten late)

after that i'll work on no eating while standing and opening the refrigerator... if i want to eat i'll have to sit down like a real person in the family room in front of everyone... this is a hard one because i'm so used to eating while opening the fridge and poking at the food.

then after that i'll have to work on what kind of food i eat... this one i'm still unsure what i should do about this. i eat healthy it's just my sweet tooth that goes nuts. anyone with suggestions?

maybe i could also use the computer less? i think i'm addicted to calorie count.. always logging in my food the minute i eat it.

there was also habits about pre-cutting veggies so you're more likely to eat those rather than bad stuff like already made cake... too bad we don't have any more carrots and celery (all juiced). if i wasn't lazy then i'd probably be successful with that.

sorry i keep talking about me....

4sq you said you went on paint and painted a picture of 2bb's palace? i don't see it on the gallery unless you took it off or something...that would be cool to see!

ok I am a non sense binger... been totalling 2,400 daily which is ridiculous.

Hey when you guys are bored what do you do to counter act the eat craving? That's something that's been bugging me.

Garbluv you're very positive and I like the fact that you pre cut your veggies... like fsunshine  measuring meals and prepackaging them.  That's so smart.

Ok how do you pre-log meals when you really don't know what you're going to eat the next day. Should I just log it in before I even eat it? You know what that's what I'll do. Whenever I get an urge for food and I'm at the house I'll pre-log.

I don't know about you guys... but I always eat the most when I'm in the house alone with absolutely nothing to do.

thanks for the tips! I'm definitley inspired... but I really don't know how to make a good salad. I'll look online and make salads for the week. That is one habit I am DEFINITLEY taking.

One more question... what do you guys do when you've binged and ate so much in one day? Like if you've been doing it for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time and you want to break the cycle. That's what I need right now...

geesalo 2BB, if you were a painter then you could paint this hall. You have such a creative mind.

For now the only running program I'm following is my coach's until track is over. Once then safina I'll ask you and kk on advice on running I could do. And check it out! I found out that my Nike shoes and hold a censor to measure how long, pace, calories burned, all this info on running. The censor connects to an ipod nano... thing is I don't have an ipod nano. I wasted my earned money on an mp3 for $70 that got lost and then I had to rebuy an mp3 for $50 and I could have bought an ipod nano video on ebay for like $80 all new with earphones and usb cord. UGGHH so annoying. I need to save up. I want to beg my dad to let me buy an ipod nano NOW on ebay and I could pay him back later.... Think that's fair?

Ok I wanted to add protein in my diet so I opened a small can of tuna... then I added some peices of bread, 1/2 diced tomato, 1 tbs pasta sauce, little mayo. Mixed it up into some weird... glop thing and it needed something extra so I cooked it on a pan and decided to add an egg. Then I took a small raw potato and shredded that and added cheese and onion and everything.

I just went baserk and made it into a hash. It tasted ok-good like as if it was a hash brown but I logged it in and the whole recipe (I used a can of tuna so I guess that accounts for it) was 800 cal.

This totally blew my cal intake to 1,600 and then I added all the other junk I ate today and it totals to 1,929. I was licking some banana cream pie so I had to add that in. I guess the trend I'm noticing is if I removed one food from the food log then my daily calorie intake would be in the 1,400-1,700 range. It's always the snacks or little meals I make that ruin the day. This was around 1pm and I was hungry for sure but I was also watching food network and I love to make my own food but I think some of the stuff I used in this hash wasn't necessary. I ate 1/2 for lunch and just ate the other half 'cause my mom told me to. I didn't want to throw it away so I mean yeah I ate it. Lesson learn: do not make my own food. Maybe sandwiches but nothing extreme.

The annoying part is as I upped the intake on my protein I decreased my carb and increased my fat. Uggh this is so ANNOYING! I need to increase my protein without increasing my fat/ decreasing carbs. Though it's said that carbs can make you hungry... but I'd rather have more of that then fat. FAT FAT FAT.. stupid fat. I know not all fat is bad but it's something I need to decrease. I mean when I'm 40 my metabolism will be totally slow and I'm not going to be able to burn off the extra calories I eat.

I drank like 11/2 cup of soy milk today... I'm not going to have enough for the end of the week.
