yeah i usually do make my meals at home, but i havent had any time to go to the grocery store lately so that's the only reason i've been eating out.

but i don't eat just one meal a day. I eat breakfast, lunch (which is usually a big meal) and then hopefully a small dinner.

It's just I'm more concerned with the uneven distribution of calories.

For example, breakfast is usually 300 cal, then lunch is like 700, and then dinner is like 400 or something. Is this ok?

this is exactly my problem too!! oh push ups, guess i need to make you my friend yet again.

i would suggest opting for the 2% over 0%. I personally think the 0% is way tangier and not as creamy as the 2%, and the difference in calories is miniscule. 1 cup of 2% has 130 calories in it i believe, and its WAY better!!!

Actually 2% has 150 Calories. Still difference is not that big, but people here freak out about splenda packets having 4 Calories.

UD

i knew it was somewhere along those lines but wasn't exactly sure. anyways that is considered "miniscule" to me since i dont really freak out/count my calories obsessively. nonetheless, they are both great but 2% is more satisfying to me :)

greek yogurt, every day.

and peanut butter. yummmmm.

drink a lot of water. whenever you feel like you want to eat something, drink water FIRST, and then proceed to eating.

also, for late night studying, I like to have a cup of coffee with a dash of nonfat milk, and 1/4 cup of almonds. that usually tides me over and keeps me going.

or sometimes ill make a bowl of edemame, or some greek yogurt.

its all about finding the snacks that are good for you, taste great, and will fill you up. :) good luck!

what I do is generally spoon in some fruit preserves in the yogurt, with some splenda.

i just tried the organic cherry preserves from trader joes last night and its safe to say that was THE MOST amazing thing i'd ever had. way better tasting than the german chocolate birthday cake sitting in my microwave. hahaha :)

I work at an ice cream restauraunt and generally the shakes we make have at least 4 HUGE scoops of ice cream in it, plus whole milk.

it's not really surprising that it would contain that many, im sure the shakes we sell have closer to a 1000 calories.

its really terribly, honestly. and its even worse working there every day. talk about a healthy food eater's nightmare.

i personally love anything by the hood internet.

they take 2 songs and make a mashup of them. kind of similar to girl talk. definitely nice workout music!

oatmeal

chicken baked in pineapple juice and eaten with pineapples is delicious. mmmmmm.

i rarely log what i eat these days. it made me way too obsessive before. i have a well-rounded knowledge of foods that are calorie dense, but good for you. and although i dont count calories, i usually estimate in my head what i've consumed and i've found it works for me.

im still struggling to make sure i get enough calories for the day but its nice to not log everything because then i'll allow myself to eat something "bad" and i wont feel so bad for it. i just make sure to eat healthy for the rest of my meals/snacks.

ok since you just finished your exams, it really is time to celebrate!

i know i've been treating myself here and there if I find out i got an A on a final, or something. i have 4 finals left and i know i'll probably treat myself to a night out. but then just gotta get back on track the next day!

also i dont know about your alcohol tolerance but i know when mine is low, and i have 2 beers, i can get fairly tipsy, for lack of a better word. 

alcohol has always made me binge at night, and i mean BINGE (like a huge burrito, or nachos, plus anything sweet and sugary in my house.)

so im making an effort to steer clear of alcohol, at least dont drink past the point where i cant make good food choices.

dont be disappointed, you'll get back on track!

do not buy tuna/chicken salad at restaurants!! seriously the amount of mayo they put in that stuff is atrocious. the kind we sell at my work basically drips mayo! ew.

but yeah if you make it at home, it's very healthy! using the low fat mayo will make it better, but what i found that works just as well is using cottage cheese instead of the mayo.

i make a really yummy chicken salad with cottage cheese, full of protein!

string cheese!! it is my absolute favorite.

also, edamame (soy beans) are great. i like to boil mine in water

fruit and cool whip free. AMAZING.
