hi. so far really good. was wondering about chicken soup, vegetable soup etc.. made with fresh veg & no creamer or sugars. can I eat those & when ?
hello i just signed up for this diet plan and i am a bit confused. I will just start by saying i am not used to dieting and i love to eat but turning fifty has caught up with me. Everything i eat has ketchup and gravy is this ok? What is the difference in eating 3 oz of meat compared to five or six? Is there really a big difference? I have to be honest i hate being hungry and supper is my biggest meal of the day

Well I am new to this group. I joined today. I have struggled with weight for as long as I can remember. I am so tired of being tired and over weight. I am doing this to be around for my grandkids.
Hi, gottadiet. Those are excellent, and can serve as your vegetable and protein – just keep in mind how much chicken is in one serving, and compare it to your allottment at the meal you want (you can view this by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu).
Hi, dsengstacken. You have a place for sauces and gravies in your menu – a “fat” exchange allows for 2 tablespoons. Portion sizes of all of the foods are important, but you do have some wiggle room. If you use lean meats, you can already multiply the portions by 1.5 – you can also have more instead of the starchy “carbs” in your meal, by swapping exchanges one for one. Using your Monday dinner as an example, if you trim the beef well and drain the fat that is cooked off, you can already have 4.5 ounces, and if you cut out the corn and fries, you can have 6.5 ounces plus 2 tablespoons of ketchup or gravy (or 6 ounces of meat + 3 tablespoons of sauce).
how do I figure out how much soup is serving size (with all the water/liquid) plus vegetables in it ?
Hi, otey922. Just arrange your meals according to your timeline. For example, have breakfast when you awaken for your workday, space your meals about 2.5-3 hours apart, and have your last snack at least an hour before you retire for your longest stretch of sleep.
Hi, gottadiet. Measure out the ingredients before cooking, then divide up the soup accordingly. For example, if you use two cups of vegetables and 6 ounces of chicken, then the soup would provide two servings each of vegetables and protein.
Hi there, Was wondering just what this is…1/2 cup shake,fruit juice and dairy
and this other one is…2 sushi, nigiri avocado. Not sure what I should be
eating when this pops up in my menu.I just joined and looked at my first menu and I’m a bit overwhelmed and not sure if this will work for me. I am a teacher with maybe 20 minutes for lunch if I’m lucky. My schedule is very structured and not under my control, so spacing snacks is a problem. So I know I can cook lunches at night and just heat them at school, but I know having to spend 1-2 hours cooking every night after being on my feet all day is not sustainable for me. I do best with either taking dinner leftovers for lunch or having a grab and go option like a can of tuna. Is there a way to tell the menu to do that?
About snack spacing—I teach from 8:15-11:25. I usually eat lunch at 11:30. I teach again from 1:10-2:40. So I’m wondering about eating lunch at 11:30, snack at 1:00, then another snack at 3:30? Not spaced perfectly, but that works into my schedule. Is spacing crucial?
Hi, Rosedenremont. The first is like a smoothie made with fruit + dairy (milk or yogurt), and the second is this http://www.sushi-blog.pl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/avocado2.jpg.
Hi there,
Just started and already need help. I’m an overweight person who ironically doesn’t really like food. (?)
My question is, if I could find the easiest way to get a meal plan together, that I could prep all on a Sunday and put in containers and grab and go during the week, that would be best.The more automated I can make this, I know the better off I’ll be. At least to get started. I think once I get the hang of things, I’d be open to more crazy meal plans but right now when I read the meal plan that was prepared for me, I’m thinking…this is a full time job! I do not see any thin people snacking all day. Thin people don’t snack at least not any thin people I know. I just want to grab a healthy breakfast that can tie me over to lunch…..then tie me over to dinner and should I really desperately need a snack, I’ll grab one but I don’t really want to be preparing 5 to 6 meals a day. Is there a menu on this site for people like me who are simply TIRED of doing meal planning.
