Xyba Dog traineo Regular Posts: 43 Xyba Dog Just back after 3 month lay off. Put back on the 16 kgs I lost in first 6 months last year. Back to square one, but raring to go!!!	# Posted: 23 Oct 2007 08:56 Hi I am following the BFFM nutrition plan and am trying the egg white omelletes but find them totally tasteless, even when seasoning with slat/pepper. Anyone got any tips on how to improve the taste or what do you do with yours?

BELT NOTCHES for 2008: - Mistressed the PULL-UP! - 2, 1.2km lake swims. Video of proper Squat form: http://www.traineo.com/11_5529_0.html	# Posted: 23 Oct 2007 09:11 - Edited by: Minu Hi, Xyba, Try throwing in a little feta, or light-cream cheese--add some spices and if you're not doing this already, make it veggie-rich: fresh garlic, onions, red or green peppers, a few diced cherry tomatoes, etc. And remember that one large egg is only about 80 cals, so using one whole egg and two egg whites can make all the difference. A healthy-hearted person can eat a half dozen eggs a week, so don't be too shy of them, so long as you have no cardiac issues.
Minne Apple traineo Fanatic Posts: 93 Minne Apple I want muscles! I want to be healthy, energetic, and I want my mental image to match my outside image. I'm in this for the long haul.	# Posted: 23 Oct 2007 16:11 You might also try some of the commercial egg white products, ie., Egg Beaters and others, they come in great flavors, ham and cheese, cheese, southwest, etc. Convenient--no separation, or figuring out what to do with the yolks--and tasty. Three tblsp equal 1 egg and only 40 calories. I love them. A good way to get a high protein meal because you can have a three or four egg white omelet easily. Good luck! Minneapple
Jocelyn Coutant Fitness Guru Posts: 222 Jocelyn Coutant i enjoy being active, maybe sometimes too much. i run almost everyday, i walk my dog, bike, play tennis and swim. i need to control my eating habits and learn to eat healthy again.	# Posted: 23 Oct 2007 16:15 i love egg white omlettes! sometimes when i want to make them tastier, i mix in one whole egg with the white, and then i'll put smoked turkey (lunch meat) in it for some taste. it's pretty damn good.
Drew Bates traineo Fanatic Posts: 125 Drew Bates Here I am playing some Journey on my air guitar. I'm a 22 year old with lots of determination and discipline 6 months out of the year. Needless to say, I've fallen off the wagon again and it's about time to get back on.	# Posted: 23 Oct 2007 17:20 I made eggs last night and they were awesome. I used: green pepper, onion, carrots, broccoli, chives, turkey bacon, salt & pepper, and tons of hot sauce (I use Franks Red Hot because it's the best hot sauce, ever. Although any kind will work.)

Jeff West Fitness Guru Posts: 237 Jeff West Hi! I'm a 44 year-old slightly overweight male looking to loose 30lbs by the end of year. For me, weight loss is just one part of an overall plan for living a healthier lifestyle (as healthy a lifestyle as possible!) In addition to diet and exercise, other elements of my healthy way of life include good sleep, proper hydration, kicking the (smoking) habit, meditation, and disease management (I have rheumatoid arthritis). I signed up at Traineo because maintaining routines has always been difficult for me. 3 years ago however, after many tries, I was finally able to maintain an exercise routine for a period of 6 months with outstanding results. I then stopped working out so I'd have more time for other things and 3 months later the RA got worse. Since then I've been unable to motivate myself back into the gym. Well, my motivation is back, due in part to Traineo. I think having a few motivators will be a great help. Also, posting my efforts on the Internet, for the whole world to see, may help to keep me on my toes. I'm not entirely sure about that yet so I may change my profile so only Traineo members can see it. I'm strong willed, but most of all I crave the results I achieved 3 years ago. So I'm determined, and thus far my spirits remain high. I sure am glad you stopped to read about me and great luck with your own efforts! Cheers!	# Posted: 24 Oct 2007 03:34 Chives.
i Slappy traineo Fanatic Posts: 101 i Slappy I'm a slappy geek (IT Systems Analyst at work, Gadget lover at play) and ready to do something to change my state of slappiness...time to de-slappify myself. Unfortunately, my love for all things tech is, by it's nature, a very sedentary lifestyle which has lead me down the path of being slappy (overweight/obese, in case you were curious). After having three different doctors strongly urge me to lose weight and a blood pressure reading of 190/110...this new path became an absolute must. I've joined the Weight Watcher ranks and found it to be a great gateway to my 'lifestyle change'. It has been a tremendous help to reducing my calories, while helping get in my daily intake of fruits, vegetables, calcium, water, omega-3's, etc... As for fitness, I have been using my eliptical trainer at home because running outdoors was a little harsh on my knees. This has helped to ease my hand off the TiVo remote and onto the home exercise equipment. I now watch digitally recorded shows while huffing and puffing. =P I look forward to meeting new and interesting people on here and finding new 'thinspirations' and motivators. http://islappy.blogspot.com/ aka Genshin Kujiken of the Kujikage Ryu	# Posted: 24 Oct 2007 04:50 Fred took my suggestion. Fresh cut salsa on eggs is the best! You can make a great salsa or buy some from the store. Costco has a great Pico de Gallo. I like mine spicy, so sometimes I'll make it myself. It's all in the fresh jalapenos and the lemon. Also, here's a nice egg white omelete recipe from Billy Beck's website: http://www.billybeck.com/articles/article_detail.p hp?ArticleID=39
Xyba Dog traineo Regular Posts: 43 Xyba Dog Just back after 3 month lay off. Put back on the 16 kgs I lost in first 6 months last year. Back to square one, but raring to go!!!	# Posted: 24 Oct 2007 08:36 - Edited by: XybaDog Thanks for all your ideas guys. I live in the UK, so some of the products you mention aren't available here, (I don't think we can get cartons of egg whites even), but certainly the ideas with fresh produce are do-able. I need to put some imagination to it really. Thanks again for your help.
Phil Mcly traineo Fanatic Posts: 158 Phil Mcly One Year 19 Lbs lost. For December 07 to December 08 the job is to lose another 17 lbs. -- Coming up for nearly a year of Traineo. 22 lbs lost, 13 to go! What a year! I want to thank Traineo and it's members, and my doctors and friends, and gym, and my walking and running training partner -- my dog -- who all have have been a big part of my recovery from a bad case of pneumonia last August, from high blood pressure in May and June, and support through herniated cervical discs in July August and the present. Somehow, its been possible to keep the faith and keep going through the neck and arm pain, but even on some of those bad pain days, getting the exercise at the gym, on a C25K run, on a bike ride, or in the surf helps make it bearable. A year ago -- at least sports-wise, for life is altogether another thing -- I was losing my sense of identity as a surfer and windsurfer, gaining a sense of identity as a cyclist, a runner, 9 months later reentering the surf, losing my ability to ride ... things came and went between hospital visits. At times, all those things were stripped away -- and just to be able to walk down the block was an accomplishment. There were recoveries and sometimes just advil and bullish efforts. It's good to be back in the surf and on the bike sometimes, neck/shoulder/arm pain notwithstanding. My thoughts go out to all those Traineo members out there fighting their own health and spiritual battles...you know we are here in this small way.	# Posted: 25 Oct 2007 02:49 Quoting: XybaDog I am following the BFFM nutrition plan and am trying the egg white omelletes but find them totally tasteless, even when seasoning with slat/pepper. Anyone got any tips on how to improve the taste or what do you do with yours? In addition to the sauteed garlic or onions, red bell pepper, suggested above, etc etc if you want a salt free seasoning, Mrs. Dash makes just such a thing. You'd never guess it has no salt. If sodium is no object, Chef Paul's (Prudhomme's) magic seasoning can come in handy. Now you have a whole slew of different ways to enjoy those egg whites. Dang, you made a convert out of me.

Herb Morreale traineo Regular Posts: 69 Herb Morreale Been running most of my life. Fairly casually the last few years with highlights being 3 marathons, and 1 half-marathon. I enjoy coaching and mentoring, and helping others reach their full potential. I'm a "heavy runner" and hoping to get some weight off and pick up some speed.	# Posted: 25 Oct 2007 15:07 Spice it up! Green Chilies. You can get the small can of them and keep them in the fridge for a week or so.
Elicia :) traineo Fanatic Posts: 117 Elicia :) I'm so proud of my abs....so I had to post them! Been weight training pretty seriously for the past 4 mos and I'm finally noticing some definition. Still have a way to go to get the much desired six pack, but off to a good start!	# Posted: 25 Oct 2007 15:30 What is BFFM? I don't think I've ever heard of it.

Jordan Bentley traineo Newbie Posts: 18 Jordan Bentley Before this summer I never exercised and ate a lot. I started working out with my little brother when I was home for a few weeks, and after that joined a gym. I've built a lot of muscle since then, but now I want to lose some weight so that it actually shows.	# Posted: 28 Oct 2007 03:40 I like to cover mine with hot sauce, the sauce I have has 0 calories. Plus it helps me make sure that I get down my days water. (I know milk and cheese or bread is better for after eating hot sauce, but I try to avoid unplanned food)
Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2094 Dave Nicholson I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy... diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :) I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming! I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some? Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks. I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August. Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.	# Posted: 31 Oct 2007 19:05 I eat eggs every day, generally 3 whites and one whole at breakfast (sometimes 2 and 2), and I keep frozen, chopped onions and peppers on hand, always have fresh baby spinache and salsa - all of these will usually end up in my eggs! Whenever I have other veggies, they end up there too... if I want some extra calories/protein in the AM I will also throw some cottage cheese on the finished product - it's tasty and nutritionally awesome. Also really healthy and even tastier is a farmer's cheese made from skim milk - like a creamy chevre. If I have eggs at night, they'll usually end up w/ chicken or turkey in them as well as salsa, or sometimes shrimp if I have it on hand... omelettes are like one dish casseroles - be creative! I don't really eat potato products much, but they are delic in an omelette as well.

Boston traineo Regular Posts: 70 Boston ....there's no better time than now.	# Posted: 3 Nov 2007 00:10 i second (or third?) the salsa! just make your egg whites as you usually would and spoon on the salsa after its already cooked. its really good! and salsa is basically veggies anyway. plus you can get salsas now that have all different kinds of flavors like garlic and onion (mmmm).
