You also can have apple/cheese (apple has the carbs in it) as a mini meal- i find the apples you buy in the bag are the correct size (not the gigantic ones).

I'm not sure I would eat cheese... The fat content is way too high...

It's on the website...
apple and string cheese as a snack.
(part skim- not regular string cheese)...

I do the diet through eDiets...

It comes out to be 200-300 calories around 6 times a day- 1200 to 1400 calories a day- depending upon how much you eat.

I just read that the target calorie intake should be about 7700 per week or approx. 1100 per day. (actually more like 1300 since you get a day off)

1100 a day is VERY low..
i have been losing consistently with 1200-1300 and not feeling starving.

I have been trying to stick to 1300 per day as well.
I learned for my weight and height that if I wanted to maintain it I could take in 2315 calories. Then I read in the book that if you want to lose one pound a week you should drop it down 500 calories and if you want to lose 2 pounds a week you should drop it down 1000 calories.
Thats how I came up with my 1300 figure anyway.
I am so glad there is someone else here doing this plan!! Will be great for support, ideas and recipe sharing!

Why is that not in my book? The calorie thing?

Are you reading Body for Life or Eating for LIfe?

Body for life, its the version specifically for women.
When I go home after work I will find what page it is on and let you know.

Ah Ha...

I am reading the original BFL

I signed up for the 1 million dollar BFL challenge... did you?

(I haven't taken b/f pictures yet)

I didn't sign up for it, but I think I might!
If for no other reason than to help motivate me.

yeah that's what I thought too!

Any idea on what you are going to make for dinner yet?

i made 2 servings of that chicken last night- so I'll probably have that with a salad and some crackers or something...


you?

Not sure, I am going to go look through some recipe's now.

I went with chicken taco's on whole wheat fajita's

I had chicken breast & edamame

bfl seems to really like turkey burgers and turkey bacon and turkey sausages...have you had any of thse?

yes.
lots of turkey burgers AND bison burgers...

I also eat chicken sausage that I get from whole foods... LOVE IT_ they have a gazillion flavors... really good.

last night we had chicken sausage and whole wheat pasta with veggies in it (like a pasta primavera).

i have been REALLY Bad with my cardio this week- my weights havent' been a problem but my allergies have been killing me and causing me to be LAZY

i will have to wake up early tomorrow through the weekend to make up for it now.. blech

yesterday was my cheat day...ugh this mornig I feel nasty!

yeah it's hard to go all out on your cheat day and feel good the next day- it's amazing how it weighs you down.

I love the BFL program. My first time on it I lost 25 pounds. I've been on and off it again now for a couple of months. But next week DH and I are going back on it. We're going to slowly break ourselves back into this week.

I'm glad there are people on this site that are doing it. We'll have to keep motivating each other.

My goal is to lose 20 pounds by the end of the summer.
