400 Calorie Breakfast: Banana Nut Parfait w/ Agave Nectar

Published by Mary at 11:30 AM




This is an absolutely delicious breakfast that's also full of good nutrition, including calcium, omega 3s, potassium, and protein. You'll feel like you're eating dessert! In fact, I was so gung ho about chowing down, I got about 2/3 through it before I thought to take a photo. Here's what's inside (it's actually less than 400 cal!):

1/2 cup low fat yogurt (60 calories)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (185 calories)
1 medium banana, sliced (105 calories)
1/2 tbsp light agave nectar (30 calories)

400 Calorie Dinner: SAVORY SALAD

Published by Mary at 11:05 PM




My dinner tonight was so yummy! And it was less than 400 calories. It may look like "just" a salad, but it left me satisfied and energized. Despite the fairly lite calories, this meal provides 13.3 g protein and a good does of vitamins and omega 3s.

The 'Skinny Girl' is Pregnant... and Still Skinny

Published by Mary at 1:37 AM



So clearly I don't pay much attention to celeb gossip. The word got out last October that Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel is pregnant, but I only found out this week. The "Skinny Girl" chef strutted her 5 or 6-month bump down the runway for The Heart Truth's fashion show last Thursday in NYC.

The Master Cleanse

Published by Mary at 5:13 PM



I'm on day 5 of a 10-day master cleanse program. I just woke up one day and decided to start. It was probably the way to go, because if I'd planned it ahead of time I probably would have indulged quite a bit before I started. Instead, I'd been on a fairly lean diet already. Not sure if it made it easier or hard.
