Habit Stacking: Starting small to build up to big goals.
This has been my new favorite approach. I've never been a fan of trying to do everything all at once and I know I need to make small changes toward a bigger goal. Every week I choose a new small goal to work on that builds on something week before. Eat breakfast-->track my protein-->aim for 100g daily. If I need to work on…

How Do You Calculate Your Protein Intake?
Most protein calculators use some form of your weight, activity level, as well as your goal in terms of how you should determine your optimal daily intake.

Hello
Hey all! My name is Mohammad and I started my fitness journey in 2022. Had lost 60lbs simply by depriving myself of food and hitting the gym. I didn't fully understand nutrition and thought being in calorie deficit + low carbs + working out 3x a week was good enough. It worked while it lasted but I'm still not in the…

Protein Powder Recommendations
Hi, I'm looking for a dairy & gluten free protein powder that is good for baking (e.g. pancakes, muffins, etc.). I have a very sensitive palette and I absolutely HATE the taste of protein powder which is why I don't mix it into shakes, and use other ingredients to drown it out in my baking (e.g. dark chocolate). If you…

I need a high protein, mod carb breakfast that is not cereal based! I currently have two boiled eggs and toast but I will soon get sick of this.
