I am just amazed and so proud of all of you! I love 3 Fat Chicks!!! I think this is by far the most supportive and informative weight loss sight I've ever been on...rock on 3 Fat Chicks!

When I make my meals, a general rule is that they're comprised of half non-starchy vegetable. So, if I'm having an egg white sandwich, I'm going to add in a bunch of greens, for example, (spinach, kale, collard greens) and sliced tomato.

If I'm having a bagel thin with cream cheese, I'll add in a ridiculous amount of broccoli slaw and some cilantro and red onion.

If I'm making burritos or enchiladas, the inside is mostly (usually) zucchini or squash, then I add in my chicken, rice, beans, etc.

If I'm making a grain, it's typically mixed with sauteed cabbage/spinach, and sometimes onions, garlic, and pepper as well.

If I'm making meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, chicken nuggets, they're at least half shredded vegetables mixed into the meat.

If I'm making pasta, it will be mixed with long strands of "noodle" veggies, or spaghetti squash, or mixed with sauteed peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach.

I do it with every meal - chili, soup, curries, etc. It really helps me have a hold on my hunger by giving me more volume for fewer calories built right into my foods.

I am feeling this way too today. First, drink two big glasses of water. This will give you a little time, curb your hunger so you can think it through more completely. If you really are very hungry just add another 100 calories and work out for a little longer tomorrow. :-)
