hate to break it to you but if you starving yourself to get into MMA training you are going to have a shock when you begin said training...
Agreed, besides loss of LBM, I imagine less bone density could be an issue...
That's due to steroid use - Anderson Silva ....

Because she's doing some kinda super restrictive (I'm assuming VLCD) "training" so she can get in an MMA class next year, is what I gather.
So 70 calories (or 17 for just whites) of a high protein, filling nutritious food is totes off limits.
Wow. Not downing on anyone's dreams because I think training for MMA is a nice goal, but trying to do a VLCD is not going to work out in so many ways. You are going to have lost a lot of muscle mass and it'll end up being a bigger struggle to maintain.
Hell, you'll definitely need to attempt a bulk and cut to regain the muscle mass and since you didn't figure out how to work eggs into a one day thing and flipping out on people actually pointing out some things..well... *shrugs*
my friend in Boston does MMA training and he eats like a beast…
I was up there last summer and we went out for sushi and he took down like four rolls and two servings of ice cream on his own ….and he is like 200 pounds and shredded….

...War Machine? Is that you?
daaaaaayyyyyuuuuummmm
Oh, and OP - if you're still here - let me give you a bit of advice.
If some gym/school wants you to lose 80 lb before "accepting" you into their MMA training, they don't know what they're doing. Trust me - if you train anywhere near intensely (which you would, if this place were legit) - you'll drop weight easily. Wanting you to lose 80 lbs (especially if it's very fast) is completely the wrong thing for them to suggest.2 -

Yup, back to QUACK advice.
Seriously, if she's doing MMA training they should be telling her to down a whole bunch of hardboiled eggs every day.
The rapid extreme weight loss makes me wonder if it's more GLOW type of thing. Is that still a thing? Good lord, I'm old.0 -

No, because a 70-calorie egg is too gigantic amount to take out of only a 2000-calorie a day or so diet. According to the OP. She's reserving those 70 calories for...something.
Do steroids have calories?

This is indeed accurate.
The easter bunny brings eggs to celebrate spring.
Rabbits and eggs are symbols of fertility. The end of winter and the onset of spring is a time of fertility which is what the holiday celebrated.
The very name Easter is derived from the Old English word Eostrun which was a spring festival in celebration of the goddess Eostre.
Indeed it could be easily argued that the Greek root and Old English/Germanic origin words which give us a modern-day 'female/fertile' concept are quite closely interrelated: Estrogen - - Eostre.
In Easter's contemporary application in Christian mythology, celebrating the resuscitation of Jesus, it still retains the basic thematic elements of life, spring time, birth, and re-birth.
The very concept of one fertility symbol consuming another in celebration of fertility is really a pretty disgusting misinterpretation of the roots of all of this.
With love,
Burt

And he's a man so he probably doesn't have a purse. This is a dilemma.
Can Easter eggs be hidden in a European shoulderbag?

It's not the fact that they're both springtime associations - I think probably everyone already gets that. It's common knowledge and even if it weren't, it's not a difficult thing to ascertain. It's putting them together so that a rabbit brings eggs that's so...weird.
Now if the Easter Goose brought eggs that would make a little more sense. Or the Easter Lizard or the Easter Anything That Would Actually Have Access To Eggs.
Or maybe the Easter Mongoose as those do like eggs, quite a bit, apparently.
But a human-size rabbit that hops around carrying a basket and giving eggs to children...? Oddness.
I felt that way even as a kid, LOL.

Geese are not a symbol of fertility, though.
What really is odd is that if you honestly had to ask yourself if the easter bunny was a male or female, the great majority would say male.
who lays eggs.
I mean . . . sure.
But seriously.

Because she's doing some kinda super restrictive (I'm assuming VLCD) "training" so she can get in an MMA class next year, is what I gather.
So 70 calories (or 17 for just whites) of a high protein, filling nutritious food is totes off limits.
Wow. Not downing on anyone's dreams because I think training for MMA is a nice goal, but trying to do a VLCD is not going to work out in so many ways. You are going to have lost a lot of muscle mass and it'll end up being a bigger struggle to maintain.
Hell, you'll definitely need to attempt a bulk and cut to regain the muscle mass and since you didn't figure out how to work eggs into a one day thing and flipping out on people actually pointing out some things..well... *shrugs*
my friend in Boston does MMA training and he eats like a beast…
I was up there last summer and we went out for sushi and he took down like four rolls and two servings of ice cream on his own ….and he is like 200 pounds and shredded….
But not one single egg.
Because abstaining from eggs is the only way to persevere in the eight sided circle.
No, because a 70-calorie egg is too gigantic amount to take out of only a 2000-calorie a day or so diet.
ha, my friend in Boston probably eats 3000 a day ..minimum....
LUCKY. He can probably work half an egg in there!
But it might throw everything off!!!!!
And he's a man so he probably doesn't have a purse. This is a dilemma.
Can Easter eggs be hidden in a European shoulderbag?
ETA: I have a dilemma of my own as my kids are constantly inside my purse, scrounging for money, the little beggars. I'm thinking maybe I'll hide my Easter eggs in my tampon box.
See, now THAT would be consistent with the theme of the feast! Good thinking!
Am I the only one who's ever heard of a jade egg?2 -

I work out. I train. I eat two hard boiled eggs a day. I boil a whole bunch and they last for a week. Why can't they fit into your diet again? How many eggs are we talking here?

Dear Burt,
I am sorry that egg discussions are so stressful for you. Perhaps you should examine why this is the case. Maybe an event in your past triggered a horrible egg memory?0 -

AH HA HA HA. I think Peter Cottontail should be delivering this type of egg to me. I mean: three children. 'Nuff said.
