Well and I EAT those things... as well as peanut butter, granola and even beef.. all in reasonable portions. Emphasis on reasonable portions. And I am losing an average of 1-2 (usually 2) pounds a week.
I'm not saying it's for everyone... but that it CAN be done. Personally I would never be able to maintain a habit of having to write down everything I eat and all that.. would drive me up a wall. But ya, we are all different.
Well, I used FitDay maybe the first month of my "diet", but that was it. I didn't want to have to count calories, journal, and weigh food for the rest of my life. So, I just taught myself how to eat healthily!
Tooooo funny how different we all are. But that is what I love about 3FC -- we can do our own plan and still get support here, at least as long as what we are doing is healthful!!
to tell you the truth, i just counted my calories for today on that fit day thing and i didnt even get to 1200. so i guess im not eating enough. but i am never hungry. i just eat alot of veggies
Yesterday, after my workout, I decided I would binge on salad for the night and, honestly, I ate three wraps filled with salad and I was so full. Veggies have so much water and fiber that it's impossible to eat enough calories on veggies alone - you'd have to be a human balloon.
I love the idea of getting paid so much per pound lost. I wish I had thought of this. My DH would say that he's already paid out the butt with all the new clothes and stuff I've bought myself. I didn't hold back. I rewarded myself very nicely. Lol

Adding healthy calories without bulk can be easy and delicious - nuts, nut butters, salad dressings made with healthy olive oil, avocado. Small portions of healthy foods that are high in calories. They are all really good for you!

Amen sistah! Did you get those looks of disgust when you came in the house with an armload of bags of new clothes too???
