Why don't you just eat Minestrone soup and salad? It won't make you sick and you'll get a TON of vegetables. |

Thanks you guys! This is really helping. I do tend to shy away from meat. It seems like I need to focus on my protein intake for a while. I think I will try bumping it to 100 g and see how I feel. I can't eat a doughnut everyday! lol |

Haha. I did give in! I thought it was just a one time thing, so I bought a dozen krispy kremes for my co-workers on July 4 and ate two! I didn't feel guilty at all. Then today, it hit me again and I thought, this has got to be nutrition related. |

It looks like I need about 88 grams of protein and right now I am getting about 75.

8 oz milk, 6 oz yogurt and one piece (100 calories) whole grain toast. And yes, it is kashi go lean. Have either of you tried the naked juice protein zone? It has about 270 calories in a bottle but it has 20 grams protein. I was thinking of fitting that into my diet somehow. |

Oh, I work right next to a Wendy's. The smell coming from that place is atrocious. I can not eat there. However, I LOVE Arbys, Quiznos, Subway, Blimpie, Blue Sky Bagel. Pretty much anywhere I can get a turkey sandwhich. I don't eat a lot of fast food. However, I don't think fast food chains are responsible for our choices either. About twice a year, I want an egg and bacon mcmuffin meal from mcdonalds and I don't want anything else. lol |

That's a great question since I don't usually track anything but calories. Should I start tracking protein? I'm not even sure how much protein I should be getting. |

I try to stick with the old moderation rule. I switch between brands and types of milk so I make sure to get a good variety of vitamins and nutrients from several sources. One week, I'll buy silk, one week, non-fat milk, one week continental 8 soy milk, ect.... |

Nutritionists will tell you that if you crave milk a lot, you are missing nutrients in your diet. You should try taking a supplement to reduce the craving. |

I know there is no such thing as the "perfect" food but those fiber one bars are loaded with high fructose corn syrup as well.... Gotta pick your battles I guess. |

| Fitness | What (and when) to eat before/after cardio? | Jun 24 2008 15:41 (UTC) |
14 |
I don't know about the science behind my routine but I usually get up at 615am, have a half cup of coffee with a half cup of nonfat milk and something small like a banana, (super-healthy) bran muffin or a nonfat yogurt. I leave the house around 630 and walk/run with my dog for an hour. After I get back home, I stretch and shower and then eat my breakfast which is usually kashi go-lean cereal, nonfat milk, toast with brummel and brown spread and orange juice OR an egg white omelette with vegies and parmesan, toast and oj. Don't know if this will help, but I have stamina for my cardio and I can still work out early in the morning. I get hungry again about 3 hours later so everything seems to be working well. |

I eat soup. It never fails to fill me up! I like low-sodium lentil soup and low-sodium tomato soup with half a grilled cheese on whole wheat bread, using cooking spray instead of butter. How do you prepare your spaghetti squash? That meal sounds fabulous! I want to eat it right now. |

I'm not even sure how I would survive without cooking light. I have subscribed to the magazine and bought the cookbook every year since 2004. My favorites are Herbed Chicken Parmesan, Tilapia with mustard cream sauce , coconut-lime banana bread, Louisiana Crab Cakes and my ultimate all-time favorite, Chicken Breasts stuffed with Goat Cheese and Basil! The best thing about cooking light is you can make great recipes that sound hard but are easy and taste so decadent. |

| It's true that when you restrict to much in your diet, it's hard to stay on track. I suggest changing to a reduced- calorie diet which will you allow you to enjoy the things you still love in small portions. | |||

| This might not be the most educated advice, but I say if you're not having pain in those areas you should keep going! The last thing you want to do is slow down when you are accomplishing so much! | |||
