    Whole foods?

    I linked my go-to bread just to give you an idea of how much "stuff" you can pack into bread, especially dietary fiber. Not saying my choice of bread is perfect, but I like the way it tastes and it makes great breadcrumbs too. I'm always a fan of buying local/regional when possible so if the...

    All multigrain is (compared to white) is it contains flour made with something other than wheat. It has to be whole wheat or whole grain if you want to get more fiber out of it (though even with that, as with all things, you'll see the nutritional panel of different brands vary) That said, if...

    Whole foods?

    I would just mix things up, try new vegetables or fruit and see if you can find some new favorites. Spinach is definitely easy to prepare but so is broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peppers, corn, etc. I know broccoli in particular makes some people gassy and of course beans are well known for...

    Whole foods?

    I'd cut back on it a little or mix it up with other vegetables as some vegetables can cause gassiness. Variety is always a good thing! If you prefer greens over other types of veggies there's chard, pea shoots, bok choy, cabbage, collards... Maybe it's just me but I've had a lot fewer...

    Good on you about the spinach! I usually have spinach on hand in case I just need some sort of veggie for lunch (and the chickens eat it too) since it can be eaten raw or cooked and cooks very quickly. Yeah your sandwich in the photo had "a lot" of mayo to me. I stopped eating mayo for years...

    Yeah iceburg lettuce is pretty much useless as a vegetable. I only eat it when I'm out and am not given other lettuce options, I never buy it. So spinach is the better choice. And if it turns out it's just not the veggie option for you, try something else. You'll get used to adding them if...

    Whole foods?

    So I just took a look at Subway's menu page and they do have nutritional charts. Taking a glance at some of the things you listed... - "Default" half-foot oven roasted chicken on 9-grain bread with veggies is 350 cal. - Meatball is 160 cals more but 3x the amount of fat and fat calories and...

    Whole foods?

    So just looking at your "usual" Subway choice, this is what I would suggest (also I don't eat there much, so some of my suggestions might not be things they offer. Best bet is to check with your local stores to see what they do have). Roast beef is actually a pretty good choice for a cold...

    Whole foods?

    If you've already begun cutting out soda (which are 100% empty calories) that's already a good start. I wouldn't completely cut it out cold turkey, I know how cravings get especially when you think you CAN'T have something, but even if you save it for "only special occasions" or "only weekends"...

    Whole foods?

    Hmm just saw this thread... Problem with "diets" is you tend to restrict yourself too much, and then you end up splurging, then you feel bad, restrict, splurge, feel bad, etc. The more you do that the harder it becomes to get weight off. So I haven't dieted in years and don't ever plan to...
