Questions about training with weights and fat loss........

[ksharp01]

Yep anything you eat is a meal, shakes, protein bars etc.

Shorty gave you some great advice up there as well.

If you chew gum, opt for sugar free and just dont eat 3 packs a day and it shouldn't be too big of an issue lol

Good to know, that helps a bunch....all the women here has given me great advice....I'll keep you posted.

oh and I disovered sugar free jello.....to my surprise it was really good!!

Thanks all!!!!!!!!!

A book I found helpful was "The Complete Book of Food Counts" by Corinne T Netzer. It list carb, protein, fat and calories. It also list some fast food restaurants. It has Subway's food listed. If you tell me what you usually get I will give you the information to put in Fitday. Also, subway has a list of its subs calories at the restaurant.

These were listed as 7 under 6 subs. Since I do not eat at Subway I am not sure what that means but it looked the closest to what you ordered.

Subway Club
calories - 294
Protein - 22
Carbs - 40
Fat - 5
Fiber - 3

Roasted Chix Breast Sub
calories - 311
Protein - 25
Carbs - 40
Fat - 6

I have not been to subway in about a year but I do know that they have a brochure that list the calories of each of the subs. Grab one next time you go.

The carbs look kinda high but the rest seem ok.

ewww that does seem high in carbs....I promise not to make a habit out of Subway but I always figure that it is the least of the evils out there.

Let me ask another question.......Most times I will get grilled chicken at a resturant with grilled onions and mushrooms...yummy
BUT...I got to thinking, should I be asking what they grill with? Hell, for all I know they are baking in lard. lol
Any suggestions with this?
I will usually put a little bit of light olive oil on my chicken or fish before baking so it doesn't dry out...so they may be putting something on it before cooking.

^^ IMO, jump rope is great is your knees and back can handle it
All you need is a few mornings a week, jump for 60 seconds rest for 60 seconds and repeat (this may be hard as 1st). Great form of cardio!
$.02

lol
Yeah, I used to LOVE jump roping and thought it would be a different/fun way to get in some extra cardio...Its not like getting back on a bike! I felt so discombobulated (sp?) I kept giggling because I must of looked a site. I am surprised I didn't bust the first time. But is fun!

You are better of ordering a Turkey Breast wrap. 190 calories, 18 carbs
