Vegetarian	Good Vegan Yogurt?	Nov 25 2009 19:18 (UTC)	1
The best soy yogurt i have tried was Wholesoy & Co. The texture of it reminded me of how real yogurt is. Thick and creamy. The other ones i have tried So Delicious, Nacys soy yogurt had a water like texture to it, i didnt like.

Weight Gain	Sorry Fruits and Veggies, there's no more room for you	Nov 02 2009 07:02 (UTC)	1
Original Post by appletwo: As a second thing, you're eating more calories than someone maintaining her weight. If you ate the recommended amount of fat, protein, carbohydrate, sugar, etc - well, you'd be eating the recommended amt of calories to maintain. You have to scale up everything for your increased # of calories. Good point you made there! :] I havent thought of it like that before

thanks everyone! i guess ill try to add fruits and veggies into what i am already eating, like today i put fruit on top of my soy ice-cream. should i worry about the amount sugar in dried fruit? or is it okay because it is natural? it seems my grams of sugar at the end of the day is pretty high. should i be worried about it?

Weight Gain	Shakes/Bars the good, the bad, the just plain gross	Oct 28 2009 06:04 (UTC)	5

Weight Gain	calorie increase and less energy?	Oct 21 2009 00:44 (UTC)	3
Same thing is happening to me! my nutritionist told me that sense i was previously starving yourself, your body would not send messages of exhaustion correctly due to a lack of fuel. This is the reason why you could go on and on with no pains on so little. But now that my body was being fed, it could actually FEEL itself and the soreness/exhaustion that is normal again

Original Post by appletwo: I really love the Balance Bar Bare ones - Sweet & Salty Almond is my favorite, followed by Sweet & Salty Peanut. I don't like the Trail Mix one. I like them because they're, well, sweet and salty and nutty, but not too sweet. They're sort of crispy and have nuts, but they don't have that odd cement-y texture the normal balance bars have. They're 210 calories each, easy to eat. They're my snack of choice when I just don't want to have a snack but I need to. The Whole Foods near me sells them for 99c each, and 10% off if you buy a case, so I get them for 89c each which is really pretty cheap. In terms of the gross, I HATE the pure protein bars. They have sugar alcohols (artificially sweetened) and they taste SO SO bad to me. Ew ew ew. I recommend staying far, far away from them. Thanks! I'll give balance bars a try. I had a pure protein bar today and i have to agree that the taste was gross!

Original Post by swimfan93: There's also carnation instant breakfast. It usually comes in like a packet that you add to milk. On its own, i think it has about 130 calories, but if you mixed it with 1 c whole milk it'd be 270...and it tastes pretty decent. On their website they have lots of smoothie recipes. Personally, using food that is energy (calorie) dense is much cheaper and tastes better. Make your own smoothies/shakes with whole milk or cream, greek yogurt (high protein), fruit, etc. Trail mix or nuts are good too (typically 170-ish calories per 1/4 c). Dried fruit is pretty dense as well. Be creative. Planning ahead is helpful too. I did pick up some carnation instant breakfast. ill check out there site, i have been in the need for some good recipes. And thanks everyone! I got some clif bar's, it was hard to choose because they have so many flavors. I went with their seasonal pumpkin flavor, and i must say it was delicious! tessa1223 - I also prefer proper food, but for now shakes and bars are helping me get to where i need to go untill my tummy gets okay with the amount of food im taking in. Oh, and if anyone has any good smoothie/shake recipes please do share!

i love moe's, their tofu tacos are amazing! i always curious about the chip thing too, i would say that there is probably 1.5 servings (depending on how much they give you) but the calories and the amount they give you dont seem to add up to me either
