Thanks

I'm very confused.. I'm on phase two and therefore have to have an extra 8 oz's protien.. My coach says to eat two eggs but when I have research it comes up with different answers?? Ie 5-6 grams is 1/5 th of an ounce

Not sure if this helps, but I know 8oz of protein on phase 1 with eggs is 4 eggs and 2 egg whites. I'd say I can make a pretty educated guess that half of that (2 eggs) would be 4-5 oz of protein.

You should be doing 4 eggs and 2 egg whites as per the newest protocol sheet for a serving of protein. I think your coach might be working off old information so ask her to call her regional rep and get an update.

For the talk about oil and olive oil. Your body needs fat as one of its essential nutrients and fat actually helps you burn fat. You can't go without it but you also have to watch to not overdo it.

Olive oil is okay for cooking at medium to low temps. It isn't good to high heat sauté or roast with it. For that I would recommend grapeseed or coconut oil as healthy IP okay'd options.

Many coaches also recommend using some oil in dressings rather than only cooking with it. I found my losses were more consistent when I regularly had my oil with my salad instead of cooking with it.

I tend to make soups (just add water or stock to the purees), its filling, very satisfying.

No need to search for the thread. I added the Fun With Veggie Purees link to the first post of the Daily Chat thread and it is there EVERY DAY. Easy peasy. I added LOTS of links for recipe threads to that post to make it easier for all newcomers.
That is where to find all the info

On a similar note, newcomers: A LOT of new threads are being started for things that are covered in stickies, the first post of the daily chat, or can easily be found with taking some time with the search function. Please look for answers before posting a question! Most have been asked/answered again & again & again! There is even a sticky about what to do before posting a question in a new thread.

1 tsp seems to have 2 calories, 0 carbs, 0 fat, and technically since is has .5 carbs it would fall into the 0 carb.

1 tsp adds a lot of orange flavor naturally!!

just would love your opinion!!

Zest is fine, just treat it like a spice

What a day! Haven't stopped since 7am this morning Hubby had an appointment at the college today to get ready for graduation (His AA in Graphic Design), too many errands to count, then found out my brother in law's apartment's heat was broken. So I had him, my niece and nephew, and my other sister in law over for dinner and a little warmth, and made some extra for BIL's wife because I knew she'd been working all day. Had to go from cooking for 4 to cooking for 9! It all worked out, the kids had a blast hanging out, and my house is mostly recovered. I got a chance to try out a new yoga video tonight, LOVE it! Might become the new routine on non-running days.

Hope everyone had a great Tuesday, almost over the hump!
