I recently bought a box of Amy's Texas Veggie Burgers and OMG, they are SO GOOD. They're more plump and less hockey-puck-esque that regular soy burgers, and they are SO good (and vegan). I highly recommend them, especially with some bbq sauce. |

This casserole is always a show-stopper:
However, if you're worried about breaking the calorie bank, that dish is NOT for you. The only way I'd bother to reduce the calories in it is use 2% milk. Other than that, it's PERFECT the way it is. Mmmm. |

You use a non-dairy milk and vegan butter. Doesn't seem like a brain-stumper to me. |

The only time I order from the kids menu is when I want silver dollar pancakes. :-[ I've never had the nerve to do it otherwise, but then again, most places I see only have grilled cheese or chicken fingers on their kids menus. |

You're supposed to have healthy fats every day, so good for you. As long as you're within your calorie goals, you're fine. |

Don't you think the recipe wouldn't have it if it wasn't doable? :) Yes, you can use cottage cheese in hot recipes. |

Yeah, maybe it's just stress. I knew buying that box was going to be bad news!! Of course, bringing it to work with me was not a smooth move since it was calling my name from my drawer...
Also, I mentioned I was working out this summer, and I still do work out 5 days a week (usually 6) but I haven't been pushing myself as hard as I should be and I've missed more days than I'd like to because of work, moving (which I did this past weekend), social obligations, etc.
Of course, the more I eat/binge the more upset I get at myself, and then I wind up eating more. Brilliant. :-\ I just moved back into my own place after living with my dad in a not-so-great (emotionally) place so hopefully that will help me get back on track, since I won't get yelled at for making a mess when cooking and stuff.
Ugh, I feel sick to my stomach now. Probably all that sugar!! I hate this. :( |

One roll of them is 25 calories.
You do realize you can look up calorie information on this site right? |

Just because something doesn't have chocolate in it doesn't mean it's that much better for you! The only true low cal halloween candy I can think of are smarties (the US version). |

When you take your candy out of the fridge/freezer to defrost it, chances are it will be white, because some of the sugar in the chocolate will rise to the surface, which is called "bloom". It's not really the best to do that. However, I think that frozen chocolate is actually yum w/o defrosting...especially frozen mini snickers or milky ways! |

Yeah, just stop eating them. :) I mean, you were vegan before, what did you do then? If you feel like you're going to miss them, maybe try making seitan or buying mock-meats (although they are highly processed) in order to replace them. |

I've been slacking on cooking at home because I've been living with my dad for the past few months and he's anal about his kitchen, but I'm moving to my own place again and I can't wait to get my hands on some nutritional yeast and see what it's like. I read so many good recipes on vegan blogs that call for it.
When you do get it, this is one of the most popular recipes on VegWeb.com (a great resource for vegan cooking!): http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=8295.0 - Mac n Cheez

I just wanted to give a big ol' THANK YOU!! to this thread.
I had tried fat free cottage cheese with pineapple in the past and I thought it was absolutely disgusting, and I couldn't get through eating it. Last night, after reading this thread and seeing everyone say they liked low fat cottage cheese more than fat free, I decided to give it another shot and got the Breakstone's Cottage Cheese Doubles w/ peach. It was SO GOOD and the nutritionals were excellent as well! Yeah, a little bit high in sugar, but otherwise, totally awesome, and the measley amount of fat in it makes it worthwhile to eat vs. fat free.
So yeah, THANKS!! I now have another awesome, protein-packed snack to enjoy. Nom nom nom. :) |

Mmmm I love to get the Apple Pie a la Cold Stone w/ Sinless Sweet Cream instead of whatever ice cream it's supposed to come with. It's one of the less horrible Cold Stone creations you can get. :) I wish they'd make more sinless flavors!!! |

Daisy -- maybe you THINK you're eating healthy, but in reality, you're not. That's why this site is so helpful. Use the calculators to determine how many calories you should be eating in order to acheive your goal weight. Log what you eat (and don't half-ass it) and what you burn for a few weeks, and see if you notice a difference. :) |

I weighed out the actual grams of a serving of oatmeal (40 grams for Quaker Old Fashioned) rather than measuring a half cups worth, and it turns out that the serving was WAY less than the 1/2 cup it says it should be. It was more around 1/3 cup. |

I'm sure if you looked, you could find a study saying pretty much anything is bad for you. What about cell phones and brain cancer? Typing your anti-aspertame message on calorie count and getting carpal tunnel? The strain your eyes are going through looking at your computer screen? The emmissions from your car when you drive? Second hand smoke? Drinking and liver damage? I could go on. |

| Foods | Tofu Shirataki Noodles - Experiences? | Oct 28 2008 01:50 (UTC) |

LOL I like what Fiber Gourmet says about Tofu Shirataki on their website:
We didn't include shirataki noodles in the chart since they're not even in the same product category. While everything else in the chart is a form dry pasta, shirataki noodles seem to be a form of water. Seriously. With only 3.5 grams of actual food in a 113-gram serving, shirataki noodles are 97% water. This makes comparisons to dry pasta impossible on many levels: the texture is totally different, the nutritional values are all skewed, and water just doesn't fill you up the same way actual food does. |

Dunno what to tell you. If you don't like Amy's, I guess just keep an eye on your grocer's frozen section to see if something comes up? Try Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. |

| Foods | Question About Fats | Oct 27 2008 17:55 (UTC) |

I don't understand why you need to eat so many carbs to get that much fiber. Maybe I'm missing something here. A measly 1/2 cup of Fiber One has 60 calories, 25g carbs, and 14 grams of fiber. That would bring you 6 grams away from your goal of 20g a day, which you could easily get from fruits and veggies. Also, just eat one Halls Defense sugar-free lozenge and you've consumed ~5 calories and 100% of your daily intake of vitamin C.
Flax seeds are high in good fats, and they also have fiber. You can find them at places like Whole Foods, or you can just order them online. Make sure you get them already ground, though. Your body won't be able to break down whole flax seeds in order to get all the nutrients in them. |

Well, the obvious solution to your nuts/sodium problem is, don't get salted nuts. I find them gross, anyway. Wayyyy too much salt. With regards to how much to eat, buy a food scale and measure out an ounce of almonds. I believe it should be around 20 nuts? Do you only eat canned tuna out of personal preference? Once again, it's high in sodium, and tuna's got the a lot more mercury compared to other fish.
