• i think your diet now seems fine, but i'd add some more fruit to lower your ratio of fat in your diet. mainly a bigger breakfast and lunch. that wouldn't hold me over at all!

• i haven't heard of ball jars before. i'll look that up. one of the main things is that it would be warm (and the fruits would be separated) by the time i drank it. i go to school at 7:30 and don't get home til 4 and wouldn't find a warm lunchtime sm…

• it's definitely how long you are soaking them. i usually soak mine 4 hours and then dehydrate them until they are crunchy again.

• i'm a smoothie addict!!! i waste too much of the fruit when i juice so i rarely do it. i can't afford it and i like making meals out of my smoothies. juice does not satiate me.

• sv3, i think ani's bar would be an excellent base since it's chewy. the kind of lemon filling in a lemon square is like curd. i'm thinking you could pulse mango, lemon juice, lemon zest, dates, and macadamias in the food processor. that would be cre…

• avl, for oranges, i would eat at least 6. they only have about 60 calories in each one. even an orange smoothie would be good with just oranges and water. since clementines are smaller, i could eat 12 of those! i've probably done that without even t…
