Maria A replied to the topic Meal Planning/Prepping in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
I would love some pointers and ideas on meal planning and would love to know what people are doing ahead of time with these plans in order to get your nutrient goals each day. I usually plan my dinners, but not so good at other meals. Maybe I have a “brain blip” that can’t organize this information without spending hours and hours to complete. I…

Yes I do log my food on My Fitness Pal and you are correct my main focus this week is to log everything and get my 64 oz of water in. As far as entering the monthly challenge for logging, I thought it was too late to join?

Thankfully, I…[Read more]

Thanks Teri!
I have not had to use prednisone long term, but when I have to do the 3 week tapers I usually end up having to do a couple of courses. Once I have issues it’s hard to get rid of.

My plan for this week is to do the best I can each day to not seek out unhealthy carbs and sugars as I taper off my prednisone, log EVERYTHING I put in my mouth and work towards getting my 64 oz. of water in each day (this is a CONSTANT struggle for me especially with it being so cold out right now and I only will drink water if it is ICE COLD but…[Read more]
