Mikaela K Fitness Guru Posts: 274 Mikaela K I'm just trying to tone my body and maintain my weight (and be healthy).	# Posted: 31 Dec 2007 20:56 I need snacks (preferably under 300 calories a serving) and meals (300-600 per serving). I want some things that are high in protien (because I don't get enough), moderate in fat (GOOD FAT!) and low to moderate in complex carbs. Any ideas (besides nuts)?

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: 1 Jan 2008 00:49 tuna, boca burger w/ cheese, either of the previous two on light multi-grain bread, 2% string cheese, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs (whites), most 'diet' prepared meals are under or around 300 calories (watch out for the sodium), canned soup, fat-free refried beans, chicken/turkey and beans (add salsa for extra flavor)... there's more but I'm tired
Mikaela K Fitness Guru Posts: 274 Mikaela K I'm just trying to tone my body and maintain my weight (and be healthy).	# Posted: 1 Jan 2008 16:12 Thanks for the suggestions. I'm actually having trouble reaching 2200 calories a day (which is what I need to maintain). I don't want to wind up underweight (and I'm not too far from it...my BMI is like 19.5 or something).

Something Dark Side Fitness Guru Posts: 516 Something Dark Side I've been interested in losing weight and gaining muscle here at traineo since late 2007. Its not until mid 2008 that i've actually started my training routine 5 days a week. Trying to get to under 19% body fat.	# Posted: 3 Jan 2008 02:19 What happens if you don't eat seafood, eggs, or can't get turkey...? lol
