I am struggling to get enough calories. I usually get enough protein. The past few days I have had calories in the 200-600 range. Add in exercise and I am sometimes minus for the day. I just don't want to eat or don't remember to eat. Help!

Its such an odd thing for me that I am not sure what to do.

Thanks. I bought some Lean Cuisine today. I am hoping the change of pace helps. Chicken and beef do not agree with me. I can eat pork, fish and cheese with no problems.

Can you do those?

I'm eating the stuff right now for breakfast. ;o)You can adjust it however you prefer.  Some like cilantro, some don't.  So change spices to your tastes.1/4 tsp Cumin1/4 tsp Pepper1/2 tsp Salt (I add a bit of Kosher salt as well)

1 tsp Chili powder1/4 - 1/3 Cup Garlic (or plain) EVOO2 tbsp chopped Cilantro (or more)1/2 tsp Paprika (optional)1/4-1/3 tsp Garlic (I use fresh chopped, 1 clove)Mix the above well, let sit while you chop veggies

1 Cup Black beans (I use fresh, not canned, easy-see below)1 Cup Diced Roma Tomato1/4 Cup diced Red bell pepper1/4 Cup diced Green bell pepper1/2 Cup diced Red or Yellow Onion1/3 Cup diced Celery

1 finely diced Chili (I don't care for heat so I use a Serrano)If you want more color add 3/4 Cup Corn but I usually don't due to the starchFold in each of the above items to the dressing one at a time coating each veggie well.  Chill for an hour or more and enjoy!

For Black bean chicken salad add 1 Cup chopped Chicken breast and Pineapple is optional with or without chicken, that really is good.  Just increase EVOO.Make your own black beans, it's a lot cheaper, easy, not processed, and best of all, you control the sodium.  Rinse beans, pick out any that don't look right.  Soak in water for 8 hours or overnight.  Using a crock pot liner (because I'm lazy and detest cleaning a crock pot) add 1# black beans, 1 tbsp Chili powder, 2 cloves fresh chopped Garlic (or powder), Chicken broth (optional, I don't) cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours until tender.  Do not add salt until after they are cooked, this is true for most any type of bean or they will be tough.

Cool, rinse, put in gallon baggie and keep in freezer and use as needed.On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 8:04 PM, Dennis Pike <dennispike@...> wrote:

I love black beans! This is my favorite.I slice up those miniature roma tomatoes and put them on paper towel to soak up the extra H20. Meanwhile, am heating up a bit of olive oil. Olive oil must be kept at a relatively low temp; if it starts to smoke it is no longer the healthy stuff we need it to be. OK, then I slice up and add the tomatoes. (If the tomatoes are too wet the olive oil splatters so that's another reason for my tomato procedure).Then when they are cooked a bit I dump in a cup of either lentils, black beans, garbanzos (that I have batched cooked previously) and about a cup of cooked brown rice. If these items had been refrigerated I let them heat up a bit and then I add 2 to 3 cups of uncooked spinach and toss it around until the spinach is cooked.Sometimes I'll also add a cut up sunshine burger or veggie cakes.When I cook up beans / lentils I usually add a ton of garlic and onion and substantial cayenne pepper. Or curry and cumin. And sun-dried tomatoes. So, I tend not to season when I toss it all together.And sometimes I add sunflower seeds or sesame seeds.On rare occasion I'll use sesame oil instead of olive oil.SUPER YUMMYYYY!!!!MarilouDr. AcevesVSG~February 5, 2010 On Mar 25, 2010, at 7:33 PM, Bipley wrote:What about raw veggies, can you do that? i have a black bean recipe that I dearly dearly love, you can add diced chicken to if you you wish but the beans are already loaded with protein.

I FORGOT!!!!Also add 1 tablespoon of lime juice.  It serves two purposes... an extra flavor and also it works as a natural preservative.  Good stuff!  ;o)  I have a lemon tree in my back yard and sometimes I use lemon instead of lime.  Just a different bit of flavor.
