Tips for us all

[Fitgirl70]

Tip #1: Stir 2 tspns of ground flaxseed into your cereal, smoothies, or soup to sneak in a punch of omega-3 essential fatty acids and about 2 extra grams of fiber.

Tip #2: Eating some healthy fat with vegetables increases your body's ability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Add some diced avocados to your salad of leafy greens and tomatoes. You'll get the fat and vitamin E from the avocados and vitamins A and K from the tomatoes.

Tip #3: Sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon of brewer's yeast over plain popcorn for extra nutrients, as well as chromium, which can help regulate blood sugar and metabolism. It'll taste like sharp cheese and ads just 30 calories. Snack on 3 cups of popcorn for just 123 calories. Much less than a medium buttered movie popcorn - 1,200 calories. EEK!!!!

Tip #4: Add carrot shreds to your favorite meat loaf recipe for a shot of beta-carotene and fiber.

There you have it folks, a few tips to help you stay on track with your diets and some new little tips for recipes!

Bon Appetit!

bump! I think we need to keep adding to this thread

i usually add 1 tbsp of ground flax seed to my 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites omelette. i thought it'd be gross, but i can't even tell it's in there. just looks like a ton of ground black pepper

oh here's another one..

i can't stand the texture of cottage cheese...never have been able to. but it's such a great way to get in the calcium, protein and casein without quite so many carbs that come with FF yogurt.

1/2 cup of CC
half a packet of splenda
a light dusting of cinnamon

makes CC edible to me and a great snack right before bedtime

 

[b_reed23]

I like adding a pack of splenda and a couple spoons of yogurt

Beer, steak, salad.. for dinner fallow that with sun chips, salsa(plus more beer) add multivitamin and cream cheese & peanut butter sandwich.

 

[the other half]

well i like cottage cheese, so i add it to my salad at night and not as much salad dressing. gives me a little more protien to go with the chicken.

That sounds really gross....

To be fair, it probably means something else in Squanto world......

 

[WATTS]

Adding fruit such as assorted berries(blue berries, rasberries, etc.) to cottage cheese as well as yogurt will take away a lot of the texture that people dislike....a good way to get some quick protein/carbs in you pre-workout
