Lunges = knee pain. : /

I can only do about 8 at a time before the knee pain makes it too hard. : / Was thinking of not going as "deep" into the lunge to see if that would help. Just wondering if there's an alternate movement I can do…

Rough Day yesterday
I had a pretty rough day with food intake yesterday. I think I over ate too much and it wasn't very healthy food! Let's see... In the morning I had an English muffin with thin layers of pb&j before setting out on a 15 mile run. It was my first time doing that distance and was strong most of the way! Before I upped my…

Daily TDEE all over the place
My average TDEE via BMF is a little over 3000, so I eat 2500. My issue is my dailies are everywhere. Friday was my day off and I did 2600. Yesterday I burned 3700. So one day I ate my full TDEE. The next day I had a 1200 calorie deficit. Is that ok? Does it even out at the end of the week? :flowerforyou:

Supersize vs. Superskinny
I'm not superskinny but I feel like one of the people on that show trying to shove all this food in my mouth. I set up my food for the whole day, ahead of time, so it will all even out and then I work on trying to get it eaten, and I inevitably have too much food left and not enough day. I'm on day 6 and this is getting…

Snack bargain at Sainsbury's for those on maint/reset (UK)
With it sometimes being difficult to get up to TDEE some days without just resorting to eating crap, I was pleased to find Sainsbury's have decent price drops on almost all their protein/nutrition bars.
