I LOVE grits and I'm wondering if eating a small portion (1 cup) of grits 3 times a week is will hinder my weight loss. Do you have any suggestions on what I can substitute instead of eating grits?
I LOVE a little bit of grape jelly on my wheat toast and I'm wondering if eating a tablespoon of jelly on my wheat toast 3 times a week will hinder my weight loss. Do you have any suggestions on what I can substitute instead of having 1 tablespoon of grape jelly?
I would love to try egg burritos but everything that I have tried tastes YUCK! Any tortilla ideas? I think I have tried them ALL.
What sort of plan are you following? I just count calories so it would be no problem for me to work in something I really wanted.
ETA Good luck on the tortilla
Really no plan. When I was counting calories (1500 calories) I was not losing any weight. When I stopped concentrating on how many calories I was eating and writing EVERYTHING down and just concentrated on portion control and healthy eating, is when I started losing weight immediately. So right now, I"m just concentrating on portion control but I am not stressed out over keeping records. I know that sounds crazy but it's true. I don't understand how I had so much difficulty when I was counting calories and eating healthy.
I use the smuckers splenda jelly.. its really good and only like, 10 cals a tsp or something.. lol.
And as far as grits, I get the (gasp!) instant quaker oats brand packets (near the instant oatmeal packets) and use those when I want them. I love grits, but I need them portion controlled.
I think I saw a shrimp and grits recipe on here using cauliflower ... if you like savory grits (like with cheese?) that might work? I'm not sure, I've had grits like once in my life!
I love me some grits -- LOVE THEM. Eat them often and no problems with slowing anything down.
I also love jelly and jams, but I make sure to measure them out when I have them on toast because the sugar all adds up fast. I don't like artificial products, so I go with the healthiest, all natural ones I can find. They are delicious, and a little goes a long way and makes life happy!
