Your husband always cooks weird but amazing things lol

Makes me jealous

You should make that tofu parmigiana recipe that I sent you a while back! It tasted amazing!

Tofu??? Yuck! Sorry. I know some people love it, but it just has no taste.

D'aww

Tofu is ok. Not my favorite thing, especially because of texture, but I eat it because of the protein content. (Not a big fan of meat honestly.) But I guess it depends on how you prepare it and how much water you squeeze out of it. I usually let it "marinate" in spices so that it doesn't taste so plain.

Now I can imagine myself making a tofu veg chili... mmm... with the extra extra firm tofu Or tofu tacos

Not yet. Can you send me the recipe again?

I want to start cooking so when we move back I'll be able to do it sometimes. Need some recipes to try! It sounds good.

It depends on how you prepare it.

Yeah. A plain block of tofu is tasteless. You have to cook it with spices, etc.

Low carb is pretty simple, you are never hungry.
I am trying to eat healthier too.

Breakfast for lunch, my favorite:
egg white omelette with spinach and tomatoes and onions
and pepper jack cheese with half an avocado on top.
It was delicious! and 1/2 cup of pineapple

dinner:
4oz hamburger patty with hot sauce
butternut squash
and another half an avocado.
1 oz of cheddar cheese
1 dark chocolate truffle
2 oz of drambuie=18 carbs.

Yum! That sounds most excellent

Breakfast: ate bagel with butter + 6 birthday cake Oreos (lol, bad breakfast)
Lunch: bowl of edamame (to get loads of protein)
Snack: will eat a protein bar (for more protein)

Ok, sending to you!

Today I've had two veggie dogs (that's always my lunch. lol), an apple, bowl of oatmeal with agave nectar and vanilla soy milk, and a couple spoonfuls of garlic soup. Probably all I'm having today, unless I have an orange later.

I think your breakfast sounds awesome! I want oreos.

For lunch:
chicken quarter and quinoa soup.
I just found out that quinoa has a large amount of carbs: 30 per half cup!!!
Think my soup today had a cup.

Dinner
chicken with a simmering sauce of creamed spinach, an indian dish with chunks of cheese, a side of cauliflower which I mixed with the sauce.
I had a piece of chocolate truffle.
It was very good.

I snacked on a handful of almonds and ate 2 pieces of dried peaches.

I took a nap at 7pm...which is very unusual.
going to get to bed here pretty soon.

@raspberrytorte: yeah, except they're too delicious! Sometimes I binge eat those boxes...

Very healthy bizi quinoa is pretty healthy tho. It's great!

Currently prepping for my trip to Europe. Have to buy loads of healthy granola bars and other healthy snacks. Any ideas???

Last time I lost 5 lbs!!! It's because I didn't like any of the food. (No thanks on Wiener schnitzel, rosemary ice cream, or fried lamb leg...)

[raspberrytorte]

Rosemary icecream?! Gross.

[bizi]

lara bars, beef jerky???
when do you leave? How long will you be gone blue?
((((HUGS))))

Remember people, choose a diet you can live with. Take pieces and parts from all sorts of diets and custom fit one you can create a live style with. Make it easy on yourself.

Yeah, it was pretty gross! I thought the label said "mint", but evidently I was wrong!

I leave in 1.5 weeks and I'll be there for 2 weeks

I brought 30-40 different types of CLIF and KIND bars with me on my last euro trip. I ate 1-3 a day depending on how hungry I was. I didn't eat much food outside of that because the food was weird in Poland (no offense to anyone who likes it).

Might bring some bean chips or butter-less popcorn. Lara bars are a good idea.

I `m a vegetarian and am trying go lower carb too because I`m also diabetic.Today went well(food wise).For lunch I had a salad and for dinner I had a broccoli stir fry and instead of having white rice and I had riced cauliflower.I`m really impressed with it it did give me the texture of white rice.I`m really trying here but it`s difficult when temptation is all around you.

[bizi]

I don't see how you can get your protein by doing low carb while being a vegetarian. Do you eat dairy? Cheese is low carb. Nuts?
I am glad that you like the cauliflower rice, have yet to try it but it sounds good.
have a good day.
bizi

Started the day off well with a nice bowl of oatmeal.

Things went south when I ate fried dough and French fries for lunch

My heart is not going to be happy... I should not eat for a while lol

[JustJace2u]

So far my eating habits are crap, as usual. I tend to eat crap when I'm feeling depressed

[Nammu]

I need to join but I'm not quite ready to take the leap into healthy eating. Mostly it's a matter of cutting sweats and increasing my sloth activity level to ......panda? I had back surgery and went into a severe depression so I never followed up on the PT afterwards and just walking a block causes my back to hurt. To lose weight I need to increase activities but that causes pain so I don't and that causes weight gain which increases pain which causes me to avoid moving........it's an evil spiral. But first I gotta get to the point of really committing.....I'm not there yet so is it ok if I read this thread and maybe get inspired by you all?

[raspberrytorte]

Today was good. Oatmeal for lunch, stir fry with peanut sauce for dinner. Unfortunately I'm sick and pulled a muscle so can't go to gym.

Crap, I can't workout either

I went snowboarding an hour ago, and I landed on my bad shoulder... then i heard a loud SNAP. it ****ing hurt like a mother****er... ****! ****! ****! but i'm not going to the ER, despite the pain i'm in. probably will go to the dr tomorrow if they have an opening. if not, then urgent care center @ 9am... when they open.

why do accidents always happen at the worst possible times?

[bizi]

blue am sorry about your shoulder. sounds so painful.
Nammu, I have heard that losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. Many people lose weight while not exercising. sorry about your back.

I just found out some fraudulent charges on my charge card. Around $400 worth.
Luckily I caught them with the help of rodney at capital one.
A new card is on the way. It will be here next week.

Some how I was sent a wool dress that I did not order and that is why I called them. IT came from china. I did not order it! So I stuffed it back into my mail box and wrote refused, I did not order this!
Will see if the mail person takes it away tomorrow.

Lunch:
8oz of chicken fahitas
collards
bowl of veggie soup
(lots of cauliflower, squash, tomatoes a little spicy chard yum!).

dinner:
pork chop
turnip greens
half an avocado
dark chocolate truffle

I do eat dairy right now but I am considering going vegan.I do get some protein through things like veggie burgers and stuff like that. I hope you are having a wonderful day bizi.
