Can I eat these things without having to worry about gaining weight?

Watermelon
Brown rice as a side dish ( served with chicken/fish/tuna)
Subway Tuna sub (lettuce, bit of mayo and swiss cheese)
Crackers
Wheat Bread

Everything on moderation of course

Please, any feedback is highly appreciated!

Subway tuna subs are one of the highest calorie items they have. You can
eat whatever you want and not worry about gaining weight as long as you
don't eat more calories than you burn off.

How many calories per day do you burn? How many calories per day do you
eat? If you eat more than you burn, regardless of WHERE the calories are
coming from, you will gain weight. Hard to believe, but yes, the 6" Subway
tuna sub has over 500 calories and 31grams of FAT! Check it out here -
http://www.subway.com/applications/N...px?id=sandwich

A tuna fish sandwich from home can be prepared to be more healthy and lower
cal. Crackers are empty calories, and NOT good for any diet. Whole wheat
high fiber bread, with at least 4g of fiber is a pretty good food, and
something I include daily in my diet. Brown rice is also a healthier
alternative to white rice, but calorie dense and nutrient poor, imo.
Watermelon you can eat quite a bit of and it's fairly low in calories.

Bottom line, your list of foods will not prevent you from gaining weight if
you eat more than you metabolize in a day.

flour products have gluten, which is bad for you

There are a relatively new thing.

They make me feel sick, depressed, and tired, and gain weight.
I ate them for most of my life before I realized that this shit was
doing these things to me.

The things you should avoid are sugar, flour, and any kind of bad fats:
saturated fat, trans-fat, partially hydrogenated oil. Also only eat a
small amount of salt.

The things you should get are raw fruits, raw vegetables, raw nuts,
lean meats, unsaturated fats, omega 3 fatty acids. wild salmon is the
best meat.

I still really don't get why you're supposed to stop living to be healthy..

I eat whatever I want, whenever I want, make an effort to make healthy
choices, I keep an eye on portions, work out reasonably... lost 7o lbs,
gained 10, am losing them...

I live, I go out, I eat out, I enjoy myself..
Will~

Isn't that different for everybody?

Thanks for the answers. What is the healthiest Subway sandwich if I may
ask? I'm not home at all during the morning so Subway serves as my
midday meal.

I agree with you 100%. The food is not the problem--the problem is how
often and how much I choose to eat of it. If certain foods disagree with
me, I avoid them. Maybe that is why GA avoids all the things on her "hate"
list. I'm just glad I am not so limited.

You can always get a sandwich, then take off the top piece of bread. Tell
them to go easy on the mayo, and have no cheese, or no oil and vinegar. You
can dress it up or down any way you choose. Or just make sure you count it
into your total calorie intake for the day. If you plan for a 500 calorie
lunch, it shouldn't be a problem. I think turkey is probably a better
choice. Go to the Subway website. They have all the calorie and nutrition
counts there.

You want to avoid pre-made salads like tuna, as they have lots of
mayonnaise in them. Go with something like turkey, ham, or roast
beef, and skip the cheese and mayo. (I prefer mustard to mayo on
sandwiches anyway, so that works fine for me.) You can have all the
veggies -- lettuce, tomato, etc. -- you want. Obviously the small sub
is a lower-calorie choice than the large -- depends on how many
calories you need at lunchtime.

Hi,

Until recently I often had a sub from Wawa, which is like a Subway sub.
(Wawa is a large chain of min-markets here in PA.) I ordered a 10'
turkey sub, no oil, mayo, or cheese, and lots of vegetables. It was
extremely filling and only 509 calories. Based on my experience, I'd
suggest getting a Subway turkey sub, again no oil, mayo, or cheese. Or
you can go 'totally Jared' and get the vegetable sub.

As a footnote, Wawa also has the distinction of serving perhaps the
most unhealthy item I've ever eaten, a pepperoni and cheese bagel
sandwich - 700 some calories and brimming with fat. Dinner in the old
days would be one of these, often paired with another bagel sandwich,
and a large container of mashed potatoes. Easily 1500 calories for the
meal. Yesterday I had a tuna fillet with steamed vegetables, and an
apple for dessert. Only 360 calories for the meal.

Read 10". Sorry!

So what do you think of the pepperoni and cheese bagel melt?

Yum, 731 calories, 341 of them from fat. 18 grams of saturated
fat...... the fun never stops.

Have you ever been to Pittsburgh? You ain't seen excess until you've
seen this:

Do you eat breakfast? Make sure you eat something first thing in the
morning. This will keep you full until lunch and will help you not
overeat.

I've been to Pittsburgh many times -- between business stuff with the
Software Engineering Institute and visits to DH's sister, who lives in
the Pittsburgh suburbs. But I haven't run into this, which may be
just as well. It also doesn't tempt me, though. I don't really like
the idea of the fries in the sandwich. I'm not too much of a carb
person (and wasn't even when I was fat). Loading it up with melted
cheese would have been another matter, though :-).

I've seen that place on the Food Network. Everyone in there was obese!
I wonder why....I don't eat deep fried foods. If I want "fries" I bake
them. Yumm...
Are there a lot of overweight people in Pittsburgh? makes me think so.

I've also seen it on Food Network and it always looked pretty grotesque.

What you may be referring to is you BMR (basal metabolic rate) which is
basically how many calories needed just to maintain your life
(breathing/bodily functions) and then you add your activity level onto
that to get an estimate of how many calories to eat a day.
Try out this BMR calculator on this page (read the info too while your
there): http://www.hussmanfitness.org/html/TFCalories.html
And more explaining here:
