Help with me with some ideas with my game: What you want----->what you eat


Quote  |  Reply

Ok so like most people I get cravings. I try to figure out the essence of what I want is and make a healthy choice on that rather than "oh I'm hungry I need to eat this salad" when what I want is something sugary or whatever

Just from the past couple of days:

What I wanted: potato chips (something salty). What I ate: tomato with salt. it worked!

What I wanted: dessert. What I ate: apple with a little peanut butter

What I wanted: Grease (something high fat content). What I ate: piece of string cheese (70 cals)

Anyone else got some ideas? Mainly for these categories:

Salty
Sweet
Fats/something to fill your gut

Brownies: Sadly... I haven't found a substitute for these yet. Any suggestions? I love my brownies.

Go for the fat-free No Pudge brownies. They're in the grocery store: look for the box with the pig with the cinched-up waist. They are DELICIOUS and fat free. For the person who asked: do you ever eat less so you can have chocolate?

You sure can...I don't, because I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I will definitely eat less so I can have popcorn, or shakes, which are my special treats. My fiance and I worked together to come up with a meal plan for him that specifically leaves 200 calories open each day just for chocolate.

A great thing you can make for your sweet tooth, is eclaire squares.

 

This is what it looks like in the pan:

 

Low-Fat Topping of your choice [Something Chocolate or Cool whip]

Low-Fat Graham Cracker

Fat-Free Vanilla Pudding

Low Fat Graham Cracker

Fat-Free Vanilla Pudding

Low Fat Graham Cracker

 

You put it all together and refrigerate!
