    Just received some very heartbreaking news. One of the little girls that was at my Granddaughter's party on Saturday was killed this morning along with her Grandmother. They were out for a walk this morning, 7am, a drunk driver jumped the curb and killed them.

    :heartbreak:

    @denswrex & @abowersgirl I don't have specific macro goals or limits, but I try to eat at least some protein in the morning because I find it more satisfying. I get somewhere between 12 and 20 grams most mornings. I don't tend to use bars too much. I generally eat homemade protein muffins, but I also use Mighty Muffins if I want something warm. I don't have any problem with the bars, but my need for gluten free sometimes makes everything super expensive.

    So very sad. How is the birthday girl coping?

    This morning I bought a protein bar called 'protein blast' it has about 20 grams of protein in it. I usually don't buy or eat protein bars and I wasn't sure if it's something to eat in one day (maybe cut into 2) or if I should cut it in half and eat one half today and another half tom. It seems like a lot for a 28 year old female, maybe something more for a male body then a female body. If anyone could maybe give me some suggestions on protein bars that are more suitable for women or is this normal in a protein bars? ...also if it is ok to eat the whole thing in one day.

    I have a love/hate with protein bars, there are some good tasting ones out there that trigger my wanting another. I am sure there are opinions both ways as far as how much protein they have, but most bars I get have 14-20 grams. The yummy ones I eat a whole one, could not restrain to half, and honestly the only reason I eat them is because they taste like a treat. If I am just looking to boost my protein without a "craving" for something chewy/sweet/crunchy I usually choose siggi's yogurt (15g) or some scrambled egg whites or leftover grilled chicken breast.

    To answer your question though, in my opinion it's ok to eat the whole thing, but based on my experience be cautious if you like them because for me they are a trigger food. This is a topic I'd love to hear the group's input on also...

    I've just started eating a protein bar with my lunch. I'm often not getting the minimum recommended amount of protein and because I work out a reasonable amount I should probably be eating even more than that. Getting a booster is definitely beneficial to me. I don't really think there's men/women protein bars (and if there is, I'd suggest marketing is at play more than anything else). I have one that comes in two "bites" and I'll normally only eat one (at 10g of protein each bite). But if I'm hungry I'll eat both halves (or if I'm particularly low on protein for that day). I find mine really sweet (overly sweet almost) so I normally find it a turn off for sweet things for me.

    The blueberry protein muffins (gluten-free) that I made are delicious!

    Hi, @mthomas0228, do you have a recipe you can share? I wouldn't mind having another protein muffin recipe, though I'm not generally a huge fan of blueberries.

    7/24: 326.8 First time back at the gym went pretty well. Went slow so I wouldn’t risk injury by doing too much too fast. Felt good afterwards. Then towards evening it hit me. My body screaming at me, “WHAT DID YOU DO?!!” 🤣😂 The soreness has eased up this morning. Just have to remember that it will get better. The more exercise I do, the better I’ll feel.

    You sound like me after my "Burpee Incident," @spookytune. :lol: I walked around like I was broken for a couple of days.

    @puttyputty I did the same last night! Mentally I knew I’d feel like that just getting back into it, but physically i felt like I was ran over by a dump truck lol. Just have to keep reminding myself that it does get better. And when that doesn’t work, remind myself that I want to be in better shape for my mini-vacation in October and not huff and puff with every couple of steps I take.

    @puttyputty

    2 cups almond flour
    1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
    ¾ tsp baking soda
    ½ tsp fine sea salt
    3 eggs
    ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
    2 tablespoons maple syrup
    2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
    1 teaspoon vinegar (white or cider)
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1 cup blueberries - fresh or frozen (I used fresh, which I think taste 100% better than using frozen)

    Whisk together dry ingredient. Whisk eggs, add in remaining wet ingredients & then add to dry ingredients. Stir to combine and gently add in blueberries. Bake in muffin tin with liners at 350 for 14-18 minutes, Makes 10 muffins not 12.
