Getting sick of chicken - Weight Loss Message Board

Wow--everyone on here is so incredible! It has been so helpful to get advice and read the stories of others. Will someone answer another few questions for me?

1. What types of things can I snack on at night that won't spoil the healthy eating I've done all day?

2. I'm doing well at keeping my fat down but am having difficulty balancing my carbs and protein. How can I cut a few carbs and add some protein? Everything that is high in protein seems to be high in fat too--eggs etc. Plus, I'm getting sick of chicken!

Ideally, what percentage of each thing should I be eating? %carbs, %fat, % protein.

3. When is the best time of day to weigh/measure yourself?

Take two low fat or fat free graham crackers--honey or chocolate--buy fat free cool whip--put the whip between the crackers--wrap and freeze--taste JUST like an ice-cream sandwich with practically no calories or fat.

Best time to weigh yourself--after you use the bathroom in the morning.

Never mind. LOL

I thought I read you were sick of children? LOL Now I am cracking up at myself.
I need to read a bit slower.

Sorry

My bad

Sunbunny, It reads chicken, not children. That's funny though. Gave me a good laugh at least.

Good snacks are low GI fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt low in sugar, almonds, turkey jerky, raw veggies. I know others might not agree, but I believe the best percentages for fat loss are 40% carb, 40% protein, 20% fat. There are plenty of high protein foods that won't give you much fat. Egg whites, low fat cottage cheese, turkey, most fish and shellfish, can of tuna, whey protein. Best time to weigh yourself, first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom and the same day of your cycle every month. Its not necessary to weigh yourself more than once a month, your body will fluctuate daily.
