[Rakel]

i want to eat healthy but still not feel hungry all the time...what is some good stuff that will fill me up fast any meal plans....are casadillas healthy?...ps...i hate carrots and broccoli...so what are a healthy alternative to these?

How far are you spacing out your meals and what are you eating through out the day as snack.

If it's late at night you can always do a nice big salad with no dressing, oatmeal is great at filling people up. I also really enjoy a bowl up grape nuts.

On another note did you mean casadias? I would stay away as they are often filled with coupous amount of cheese.

i only eat 2 meals a day and 1 snack...normally..

[Sportsmedjosh]

You should really increase it to about 6 small meals a day.

Is cheese bad for you?

I love cheese... and casadillas. (I thought it was spelled with the double L's.. )

Cabezon! We need a spelling check here.

quesadilla gringo. i hear the soccer moms asking for coowayso sauce, drives me nuts.

cheese is good, it provides calcium and protein. it has fat though, that's why it tastes yummy. when I grill my own tortilla with a little bit of low fat cheese it gets filling, with lots of hot sauce or a pepper. But the ones in the restaurants are all fat, ick. I used to live on frozen burritos, the 3 for a dollar style. my wife forbade me to ever eat one again.

If you make them yourself it's not bad at all. If i'm going to be making something with a lot of cheese such as this I tend to use a cheese sub such as soy cheese.

[cabezon]

soy cheese doesn't have calcium though, no? Calcium is very important for those trying to lose weight.

omg.. I can't believe I forgot the que. I KNEW Casadillas didnt look right. I just knew it.

Three years of HS Spanish and one year of TA-ing a Spanish class, and I can't even spell the word for cheese in a tortilla. My mexican ex gf would slap me.

So.. in my case, would eating more cheese be a GOOD thing? Cause I could ALWAYS use more cheese in my life.

Edit - hah so in theory, would a Casadilla then be a house made of tortillas? hehe.

your day job, don't quit it.

at the lack of spelling competency here

I would defintely recommend by starting to eat breakfast in the morning. Combine protein and carbohydrates and a small amount of fat at every meal in order to feel more full.

An example of breakfast: Whole wheat toast with peanut butter
