Mikaela K Fitness Guru Posts: 274 Mikaela K I'm just trying to tone my body and maintain my weight (and be healthy).	# Posted: 4 Sep 2007 19:50 I eat oatmeal and fruit and the like for breakfast, and salads for lunch, but I need a site to help me with dinner. I've gone through the last of my healthy recepies, and I refuse to eat the same thing more than a few times a month (I'm weird like that). Anyone have a good site that has a lot of dishes and lists the nutrition facts (I like to keep my totals exact in my head, and it's a pain to estimate)? Thanks!!

You can search for low kilojoule, low fat, low carb etc meals and most of them have the nutritional information per serve. Just an idea, though I'd understand if it's not very practical for you. Have you tried just googling recipe sites? Most of them these days have low fat/low kilojoule recipes. You could always use calorie King to estimate your daily calories as well. Hope something of this helps!

Amy S Fitness Guru Posts: 220 Amy S A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now. Revised fitness plan: -some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat -some weight training, some pilates -I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times! I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary. The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force. To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done. Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.	# Posted: 5 Sep 2007 14:30 Mikaela, You do need to be able to eat normal, balanced meals to maintain a healthy weight longterm. Dinner is often the toughest for me, too. Try to increase your vegetable portion, and have a smaller portion of the carb part. I always go for a glass of skim milk with dinner for some more protein and calcium. Sometimes I even serve 2 veggies with supper. Now and then, I make a special low cal meals, but sometimes, I admit, it's tatertot hotdish!
