Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 , You crack me up! I love your sense of humor! And it eases up on the intensity that I feel when I am on eating programs. I guess 35 years of dieting has ruined me. If you don't have " diet mentality, " then it is more difficult to relate, but if you do, then you understand perfectly. Here's my momentary problem, and this is for anyone to help me with. gave me some excellent advice on simple meal planning, and he mentioned 1 gram of protein per pound of weight. I looked up the word, " gram, " and have tried to calculate that into something close to ounces. I don't know if I have it right, so someone please help me. What I read was that a gram was 0.035. In my mind, I decided that 3 grams equals approximately 1 ounce. If that is correct, then for my present weight of 220 lbs., I should eat about 7 1/2 to 8 ounces of protein a day. Is that correct? And I just got the " Eat Right " book; I'm in the first chapter, so I have a lot to read, but I do at least know the basics, as I have had the pocket guidebook for awhile now. I'll write more when I get the chance. Thank you! Jemmi *_* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 says that 7 grams = 1 oz. of protein. So 220 grams divided by 7 grams per ounce comes out to about 31 ounces of protein. Yes this is a lot by most standards, and I rarely get my 26 oz. of protein a day. When I get close on a regular basis, I do feel much better. Then you won't 'need' those carbs so much.

Like Puck, I do not mean to offend the mortals here or to make little of the importance of our search for health...only to lighten the step along the journey. That said...I think my dear, your math skills may need a little work...did you throw away your old Chemistry books? I think everyone did but me.....this is what the scriptures say: 1 pound = 16 ounces = 453.59237 grams....therefore 453.59237 grams/16 ounces = 28.35 grams = 1 ounce....wah la! are you baking a cake?...excellent...a mochi cake I guess?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Healthy snacks... Try dry cereal. Similar to a cracker. For me they are a texture that worked before surgery. Try Cheerios, Apple Jacks, anything you see a 2 year old eating. I tried some new Cheerios that are strawberry and yogurt and liked them. Of course that is w/o milk. I remember when Kathie tried grapes. Not good. Celery had to have been awful, in general, any dry, non-greasy fruit and vegetable is very difficult for most of us. Popcorn can be difficult even after surgery. Don't try carrots. Cookies are good, if you want some protein, try peanut butter cookies. Most avoid chicken, rice and pasta. To me it wasn't the size or the amount chewed, but how much fat it had in it. Nachos can work, hamburgers can work, cookies were my best. To be honest I wouldn't have ever tried celery. Potato chips didn't work, even full fat, but tortilla chips can work sometimes. The veggie pretend potato chips didn't work. Sometimes the protein type candy bars worked, maybe those cut up would be a good snack. Apples or any fruit just didn't work ever for me. I quit trying quickly. Same with raw vegetables. You might have luck with peas cooked w/ lots of butter. Good luck... Sandy in So Cal.... I'll be selling Brownie Cookies outside the Wells Fargo by Borders from 1-4, in Los Altos in Long Beach. Come visit, bring a drink please. Ah ha, those cookies would probably all work. >> To all the new members of the group- This is a wonderful place to > find answers and support for a condition that family and friends > don't understand as much as someone who is living with this disease. > Welcome to all of you.> > Deborah at the beach-You sound great!> > in Essex- Glad to see you posting again. > > I have been looking for a healthy food that I can keep at my desk to > eat throughout the workday as I don't have time to stop for a full > meal when we get busy.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hi Jo, Hope you are feeling reasonably ok darling. I have been thinking about snack food for you: Try - sultanas pumpkin seeds flapjack, cut into little slices slices of kiwi canned pears yoghurt And try cashew nuts, they seem to be easier to eat than say peanuts or hazelnuts. I can think of a lot of naughty foods but I won't tempt you cos I reckon you can think of those easily enough yourself. LOL Keep your chin up (do you say that?). Thinking of you, love from Ann across the Pond XXXX>> To all the new members of the group- This is a wonderful place to > find answers and support for a condition that family and friends > don't understand as much as someone who is living with this disease. > Welcome to all of you.> > Deborah at the beach-You sound great!> > in Essex- Glad to see you posting again. > > I have been looking for a healthy food that I can keep at my desk to > eat throughout the workday as I don't have time to stop for a full > meal when we get busy.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hi , If you are looking for a healthy option, you could steam fresh vegetables in finger food size until they are soft enough to eat but firm enough to hold. The eat them as needed at your desk. We did that a lot when we were training and needed to eat more regular. They will be fine to eat cold the next day at work. > > > > To all the new members of the group- This is a wonderful place to > > find answers and support for a condition that family and friends > > don't understand as much as someone who is living with this disease. > > Welcome to all of you. > > > > Deborah at the beach-You sound great! > > > > in Essex- Glad to see you posting again. > > > > I have been looking for a healthy food that I can keep at my desk to > > eat throughout the workday as I don't have time to stop for a full > > meal when we get busy.

Is she going to a nursing home? My mother spent over 2 years in one and we learned a lot about dealing with them. Right now, my dad is doing a rehab stint at one, after a knee replacement last week.

Anyway it was only about $39 and the same size Forman was about $70. Yeah but does it make waffles??? I'm just kidding. I literally read all 95 reviews on amazon before I got the Foreman. I'm happy with it so far but there are certainly other options. > Another bargain that I just happened to last winter was I found a swim suit for my size (huge) at Walmart. Couldn't believe it, but my daughter was looking for a swim suit and I was in the grocery section and she came over with and it fit and everything. I only paid $29 for it....... That's awesome! I always check junonia's clearance and landsend overstocks to try to find bargain plus sized swimsuits. Right now I have junonia suits in 1X and 0X that I bought on clearance in anticipation of being smaller. I love their tankinis. They fit me great and have a nice built in bra that goes all the way around to hold up my big chest. I *hate* padded swimsuit bras so I avoid those like the plague. I just checked junonia clearance and they have some cute suits for $40. No tankinis on clearance now though. They are regularly $50. Hmmm.... what the heck happened to landsend overstocks. They no longer have the link on their website. > For example I had Hot Dogs for dinner one night, now before I would have > had 5 or 6 but I only had is 2 . That is good for volume but I guess I > need to find better things to eat. Volume is the main issue for many of us so you're making huge strides. The only time I had a normal full feeling was when I was pregnant so getting control of food volume was very, very difficult. I only managed it once after staying on plan for 3 months I finally felt my hunger level subsiding. Unfortunately I ended up blowing it over the holidays that year as I did many years. If you can control volume just start making small changes to healthier foods and you'll do great. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Foreman on Friday and threw out the old waffle iron yesterday. It made very cute heart shaped waffles but was too hard to clean so we haven't used it in years. I also cleaned out all the sippy cups and plastic cups that they give the kids at restaurants as well as some sports bottles. I was very proud of myself yesterday. The kitchen cabinets are organized! Now I need to start plugging away at the dining room. It is a disaster. I already have 2 big boxes of pass on stuff in the back of the truck so I need to carry this stuff to charity so someone can get some use out of it.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 No, you threw away perfectly good plastic cups? I have you know I have 3 very good sets of 8. I have 8 Taco Bells glasses, 8 Pepsi glasses and 8 Taco Bells. I can't throw any away and break up my sets. LOL All kidding aside it seems as if every plastic glass the kids drink out of they bring in to be saved. I did do some house clearing a couple months back and threw out a huge amount of them. But there was a few even I couldn't part with. > I also cleaned out all the sippy cups and plastic cups that they give the > kids at restaurants as well as some sports bottles.

LOL I still have about 6 Flintstone jelly glasses and a set of glasses with old time cars on them that my grandmother had gotten in the 1960's from some gas station. Oh, and a few dishes from when the movie theaters gave them out back in the 1950's, too. I save everything. Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
