food points and diets

Breakfast was seriously “eggsellant” ~ only 5 POINTS PLUS for this entire plate.

My new take on Green Eggs n Ham!
1 egg (2 pts+)
1/3 cup 100% Liquid Egg Whites (1/2 cup is the same points+) (1 pts+)
2 oz Lean Ham (2 pts+)
1 zucchini quartered and slices
1 green onion, chopped
Hot Sauce, Sea Salt, Black Pepper
Sprinkle of Chives ~ because I had them
All scrambled in a nonstick pan.  You could easily make this in muffin cups and cook in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
It was delicious and totally made me want to make another Ham just so I could make it again!  The best part, I was full ALL morning ~ 5 hours!
I am finally working my way through our leftovers ~ today I went for Soup & a sandwich. 
This was the last of the 17 bean ham and vegetable soup  (5 Points Plus)

After learning 1 slice of my oatmeal bread is 2 points plus and 2 slices is 5, I decided I could easily whip up a “loaded” half a sandwich and not mix the other slice of bread.

My entire Cranberry Pineapple Ham Sandwich was only FOUR Points Plus! Awesome!
1 Slice nature's path oatmeal bread (2 points plus)
2 oz Lean Ham (2 points plus)
2 slices pineapple (ZERO POINTS!)
Spinach
Cranberry Mustard!!! (0 points!)
Dessert was a couple of these “cuties” for ZERO points plus

Happiness! It’s so crazy to think that I didn’t even use half my points!  I still had 18 Points Plus remaining going into dinner
The Husband and I decided it’s been wayyyyy too long since we visited our friends at Vasquez Deli ~ the BEST tacos in the world!  They even make their tortillas from scratch.
Since Vasquez doesn’t have their nutritional information online, I looked up the points in my Complete Food Companion.  You could do the same online or Weight Watchers Mobile.
I used to be able to get 2 for 8 points, now they are 2 for 10 points plus ~ still worth it to me!

This really is the best spicy shreaded chicken ever!….it’s so juicy, spicy and melts in your mouth!

Since I STILL had 8 points left, I couldn’t resist a few bites of his cheesy quesadilla ~ I could honestly just eat their homemade tortillas straight up. I <3 carby-goodness!

Day 3 = DINING OUT WITH SUCCESS!


I LOVED reading all of your Points Plus Shockers & Surprises.  I found myself going yeah!, and OMG, nooooo as I read some of the things you have found.  I LOVE that you all have made me think about some of the things I now want to AVOID buying
Q’s:
1.  What have you found to be your FAVORITE Weight Watchers Points Plus tool for looking points plus values up?
For me, I was hoping the DROID App would be a FULL app, but, it’s just a points calculator   I honestly use my Companion Books because they are quick to grab and my online tracker when I am neat the computer
Night all!

staying fit on the go.

Exercise tips on the road

• Leave time for your workouts
  When you’re traveling, you really have to plan when, where and how you’re going to work out if you’re really going to make it happen. You schedule your travel, accommodations, rental car and all the rest, so you might as well schedule your exercise too. Put it on your calendar and email yourself so that you don’t forget.
• Stay in a place with exercise equipment
  See if you can find a hotel with exercise equipment available to guests. Most hotels have a gym of some sort or another. Alternatively, take an exercise DVD with you and do a quick workout in your room.
• Bring the stuff you need
  Do you need to bring any special equipment with you? If the hotel has a pool, take your swimsuit so you can get a quick cardio workout in before breakfast. Exercise bands are one of the handiest tools to bring – they’re easy to pack and they let you work out tough areas like biceps and shoulders without leaving your room. Also the obvious stuff - your sneakers and your workout gear. It’s hard to get started if you don’t have the right equipment.
• Work out in the mornings
  The best time to exercise while traveling is usually in the mornings. Photo shoots can drag on and on, well beyond the allotted time, so get your workout in early when you know you have time. This also gives you a chance to do a little networking after the event.
• Get your exercise in unconventional places
  Instead of just watching the hours tick by waiting for a connection in the airport, use the time to get your body moving. Walk around the shops, or even set yourself the goal of walking from one end of the airport to the other (just don’t miss your connection!). Even better, skip the moving walkways when you land and take the chance walk from your gate. All of these short spurts of exercise will add up.

Diet tips on the road

It’s tough to eat healthily while you’re traveling because most of the food that’s available is simply not very good for you. Make sure to pack some healthy snacks and steer clear of pastry carts and vending machines. It’s easy to throw a few apples, nut bars or trail mix into your carry-on luggage and it will give you something satisfying to eat in your hotel room or while waiting for your planes.
Avoid the airline food too. It’s often packed full of preservatives that can cause bloating and was almost certainly prepared many hours before. Try to pick up a healthy snack in the airport before you board, then when you hear ‘chicken or the beef sir?’, just say no!
Don’t forget to carry water or get some once you arrive at your destination. Water will help keep you hydrated after a long trip on a very dry airplane, plus it will help to satisfy your cravings and keep you away from the airport junk food.
When eating out in restaurants there are a few simple tricks to follow to keep the calorie count down.

• Before dinner, drink a cup of green tea or some Perrier with a slice of lemon. Both will help to reduce your appetite. Going to a restaurant when you're really hungry is tempting fate.
• Order an appetizer instead of a main course - portions have grown in recent years and you really don't need more.
• Don't order anything with sauce. That grilled chicken may sound light, but not if its drowning in a creamy sauce! In an Italian restaurant, order the tomato-based sauces rather than the cream-based ones.
• Order your food steamed, baked, grilled or poached, rather than fried or deep fried.

DAY 2

To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories and you certainly wouldn't want to try to burn 3500 calories in one day. However, by taking it step-by-step, you can determine just what you need to do each day to burn or cut out those extra calories. Below is a step by step process for getting started.

1. Caculate your bmr (basal metabolic rate). Your BMR is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing and digestion. This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day. Keep in mind that no calculator will be 100% accurate, so you may need to adjust these numbers as you go along.
2. Calculate your activity level. Use a calorie calculater to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lifting weights, etc. throughout the day. It helps to keep a daily activity journal or you could even wear a heart rate monitor that calculates calories burned.
3. Keep track of how many calories you eat. You can use a site like Calorie Count or use a food journal to write down what you eat and drink each day. Be as accurate as possible, measuring when you need to or looking up nutritional information for restaurants, if you eat out.
4. Add it up. Take your BRM number, add your activity calories and then subtract your food calories from that total. If you're eating more than you're burning, (your BMR + activity is 2000 and you're eating 2400 calories) you'll gain weight. If you're burning more than you eat, you'll lose weight.

Example:
Mary's BMR is 1400 calories and she burns 900 calories in daily activity with regular exercise, walking around and doing household chores. To maintain her weight, she should be eating 2300 calories but, after keeping a food journal, Mary finds that she's eating 2550 calories every day. By eating 250 more calories than her body needs, Mary will gain one pound every 2 weeks.
This example shows how easy it is to gain weight without even knowing it. However, it's also easy to lose weight, even if the process itself can be slow. You can start by making small changes in your diet and activity levels and immediately start burning more calories than you're eating. If you can find a way to burn an extra 200 to 500 calories each day with both exercise and diet, you're on the right track. Try these ideas:

Instead of...	Do this...
An afternoon Coke	Drink a glass of water. (calories saved: 97)
An Egg McMuffin	Eat a small whole wheat bagel +1 Tbsp of peanut butter (calories saved: 185)
Using your break eat sweets	Walk up and down a flight of stairs for 10 minutes (calories burned: 100)
Hitting the snooze button	Get up 10 minutes early and go for a brisk walk (calories burned: 100)
Watching TV after work	Do 10 minutes of yoga (calories burned: 50)

Total Calories Saved: 532 (based on a 140-pound person)

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health or physical fitness, is a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue. It can occur unintentionally due to an underlying disease or can arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state.
