I think I may run some peppers, onions and jalepenos on some brats. That sounds pretty good all of the sudden.
As far as me, it depends on what kind. The kind that have been my vice as of late (slovacecks) - nothing. Others I usually run cheese with and maybe baste them in BBQ sauce on the grill.
The wife wanted brats and Hy-Vee had Johnsonville brats on sale for $2.77 a pack. I grabbed the ones with cheddar cheese inside. I needed to get rid of some onions before they go bad, should have cooked more. I cooked them in some butter and added a few splashes of worcestershire sauce. [Reply]

You can eat anything if it fits within your Macros. It's a total myth that you have to exclude certain foods when dieting. I choose to eat more protein and fat, so I do limit my carbs. But on occasion I will up my carbs by 100 grams (white rice) in a day and decrease my fat intake but still intake the same caloric amount for the day. I am then accomplishing the same goal and same amount of "weight loss" on the day I eat a lot of rice.
I'm a big believer in carb cycling (1-2 higher carbs/lower fat days per week). Limiting yourself to very little carbs for a long periods of time can lead to metabolic damage which can take a while to reverse. And definitely is hard for someone who loves to lift heavy weights like myself. Carbs are needed for strength and muscle fullness.

Damn. I can rarely find those under $4.99 here.
I'd have loaded the freezer. Love those things! [Reply]

/Fitness lesson
I get it. Pineapple just happens to be one of those sneaky foods that has an abundance of sugar and sometimes it's those hidden calories or carbs or sugars that add the weight.
As an example, I would have about 4 cups of coffee per day back in No Virginia during work. I like extra cream no sugar and they had cans of evaporated milk for your coffee.
I would use around a full cup for the day and that is 330 calories just for the cream. That is a calorie bomb. Since I started my diet on March 25th, I use 1 non-fat creamer that is 10 calories each and I only have two cups of decaf a day. I just removed 310 wasted calories a day from my diet.
I also limit both my weekly carbs and red meat. I have one day of carbs and rarely eat red meat. Grilled chicken on hearts of romaine with low-fat salad dressing as my go to protein meal. The dressing has only 15 calories for two tbs as opposed to 110-120 for many others. The whole meal is only around 350-400 calories depending on how much chicken I add. I also do many nights of steamed veggies only.
I limit my calories to around 1,000-1,500 a day and burn around 3,000 a day. My goal is 100-110 pound lose by Dec 1st.
I'm down 23 pounds since March 25th but realize the loss will slow down as I get thinner as my BMR also drops along the way.
I do an hour on the elliptical for 6.5 miles and around 800 calories burnt, then I stretch for 20 minutes and then lift and do weights for the next 20-30 minutes followed by a 8 minute walk on the treadmill at 2.8 mph to just loosen up a little. [Reply]
