Bad Meal of the Day – Breakfast Cereal

May 15, 2008

I don't usually eat cereal for breakfast but the last couple of days were exceptions. I needed something fast, and having a bowl of cereal with skim milk sounded like it would hit the spot. How bad can a bowl of cereal be?
How about 640 calories.
How's that, you ask? Well, first you [...]

Use the Chipotle Calorie Calculator For a Dose of Reality

January 18, 2008

I've mentioned numerous times before how a part of my current diet strategy is taking my old standard meals that I am used to eating and optimizing them to find the perfect portion sizes that still satisfy me.  See Even More Paring Down at Noodles & Company as an example.
Another restaurant where I eat quite [...]

Can I Drink My Calories?

January 14, 2008

 
I've already seen a couple of times on The Biggest Loser this season (be sure to tune in tomorrow night!) where while counseling someone Jillian will say "you can't drink your calories, dude."  Or something like that.  You get the point.  Eat, don't drink.

Analyzing The Weekend

January 8, 2008

As I wrote in my update yesterday I didn't have a good weekend diet-wise and that contributed to a gain for the week.  Now is the time to go back and analyze what happened so that I can do better next time.  I really don't know where this post is going to go since I have [...]

I've Googled [...]
