Weight Loss	How exact calories to I need to consume a day to actually LOSE weight?	Jun 10 2009 01:46 (UTC)	1
I can tell you, it is very easy to under or over estimate the number of calories you are consuming. I weigh everything I eat with a digital kitchen scale. Most foods on this website can be added to your daily food log and will calculate the exact calories based on the weight of the food. Using volume as a measure or eyeballing does not give accurate enough results. I agree that you should log all of your food and activity on this website, but go the extra and get yourself an accurate scale. Portion Control is the key. Take your time and enjoy your food. Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and lean meats. When I first started out, I found trouble food in my journal. Things that were adding many calories. I then started to substitute. Some examples below: Large multigrain or white bread = Low calorie wheat bread Sour Cream = Fat Free Sour Cream or Fat Free Greek Yogurt. Salami or Bologna = Turkey or Ham Soda or Juice = Water or Seltzer Peanut Butter = PB2 Eggs = Egg Beaters Syrup = Sugar Free Syrup Potato Chips = Rice Snacks or Pita Chips or Baked Doritos Any Sugary Cereal = Kashi Go Lean or Fiber One or Oatmeal Mac and Cheese = Brown Rice or Baked Potato Butter = I can't Believe its not butter Ranch Dressing = Lite Italian

Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal Fiber One with Honey Clusters and Bananas or fresh berries Egg Beaters Southwest Omelet (1/2 C. Egg Beaters, some sliced onions, peppers, mushrooms, Turkey, or Ham, Non-Fat Mozzarella Cheese) Top it off with some salsa and/or Greek Yogurt. MMMMM good. You can also add some reduced calorie whole wheat bread and some sugar free strawberry preserves on it.

Weight Loss	How do YOU curb the evening munchies?	Mar 22 2008 14:25 (UTC)	1
I drink a big glass of water and then take the dog for a walk. I go about 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. When I get back to the house, I drink more water. Later at night I have a piece of fruit or a couple of rice cakes (Cheddar or Caramel flavor). Seems to be working well for me. I used to binge from about 1/2 hour after dinner until I went to bed.
