Here's what my partner and I usually get for $350 in our high-cost-of-living California city. AdvertisementWe usually pick up variety packs of Poppi, which contain prebiotics for gut health and have fewer calories and added sugars than most sodas. There are few places to grab bagels around my home now, so the bagels at Costco are a decent replacement. Instead of using cream cheese, I put Laughing Cow spreadable cheese on my bagel, preferably the light option if Costco has it. It's a good substitute for unhealthier snacks, and a pack of 60 only costs us about $10 at Costco.

A medication used to treat asthma can now be used to help people with food allergies avoid severe reactions, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Friday. Xolair, the brand name for the drug omalizumab, became the first medication approved to reduce allergic reactions caused by accidental exposure to food triggers. An estimated 17 million people in the U.S. have the type of food allergies that can cause rapid, serious symptoms, including severe, whole-body reactions that are potentially deadly. Wood estimated that 25% to 50% of people with food allergies, particularly children and young adults, would elect to use Xolair. The drug has been used “off-label” to treat food allergies, said Dr. Ruchi Gupta, director of the Center for Food Allergy & Asthma Research at Northwestern University.

AdvertisementWhether you count calories or not, the unit of energy plays a role in weight loss, gain, and maintenance. AdvertisementGraeme Tomlinson , a personal trainer and fat loss coach, shared five examples of "hidden calories" in food and drink that you may not be aware of. A tablespoon of cooking oil contains around 140 calories, but using a smaller amount, about five milliliters, you can still lubricate your pan for around 45 calories, Tomlinson said. High-fat meat"The cuts of meat you regularly consume can also have a huge say on your fat loss progress," Tomlinson said. For example, 200 grams of 20% fat beef mince contains around 504 calories but the same amount at 5% contains 248 calories.
