The last dessert I brought somewhere was really simple and tasty! It was just strawberries, balsamic vinegar reduction and whipped cream from canister. -I cut up a bunch of strawberries several hours ahead of time and stored them in the fridge - for some reason they taste sweeter to me if they have been cut up and rest for…

That is very true! Oddly that is one of the things that often pushed me to get the last rep or two when I really shouldn't...

120 g should be adequate. A little more is fine too. You may find this an interesting read: https://bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/protein-intake-while-dieting-qa.html/ "So basically we have an intake continuum ranging from about 1.5 g/kg (0.68 g/lb) as a minimum for the obese non-training individual up to a high of around…

My favorites for super high volume and are cucumber, pickles, strawberries, watermelon, honeydew melon, cantaloupe. Some other lower calorie items that also make an appearance in my diet are fudgesicles, yasso bars, popcorn, plain cheerios, an microwaved apple chopped up and sprinkled with cinnamon.

I have wanted to make this for awhile now. This is my favorite cake. I usually just buy a slice while on vacation visiting my sister in law. It is pretty calorie dense so I tend to save it for vacation IDGAF about calories. Last week I was visiting my sister in law and we made hummingbird cake. It was so tasty!!

Dinner tonight was tasty! It is mahi mahi on top of cauliflower rice. The sauce is a hatch green chili - also mixed in the rice. This was a lot less calories than I typically eat for dinner - around 200ish. I have already had quite a bit of food today and some of it was pretty calorie desnse (perogies, frosted apple bar,…

I am a lady who lied the last time I renewed. I added a few pounds to my weight because I knew I was going to bulk in a few months. :wink:

OMG how did I forget about bison!? I love bison burgers! I recently saw bison dogs at the store. They were over $2 a dog. I really wanted to try them. Maybe if they go on sale...

Digging the shoulder veins!

I think of curries when I think of turmeric. Google Aloo gobi.

I had to google the chocolate. http://www.amedei.it/en/prodotto/5948/JSUUDOQW/i-cru-36-napolitains This sounds lovely!

I am not a fan of mushrooms but I am shocked that nobody mentioned truffles!

What about custard creams?

A lot of people went with personal chef! I actually enjoy cooking it is the clean up I hate... I am adding Hula Daddy Kona Coffee to my list. I got it as a Christmas gift one year. Amazing coffee but expensive! The cheapest one is $30 for a half pound.

I would also shop farmers markets more often! The best yogurt I have ever tasted came from a farmer's market - but it was around $8 for 8 ounces! I have also seen a lot of pricey good looking meat at farmers markets. @AnnPT77 My grandparents used to "hunt" morels. I remember occasionally seeing the spoils of the hunt laid…

OMG...."Lobster Tagliatelline seared scallops, basil, asparagus, lobster cream". That sounds amazing!

Another overachiever for memorial day weekend! I ate a crazy amount of food Saturday and Sunday. I couldn't even begin to calculate it. I ate a Costco size snack bag over the course of 2 days that was over 5,000 calories by itself - plus a lot of other food. I am just going to call those "recovery days". This morning I was…

I was really excited about Lyle's book when it was released. Then I saw the price! It is a bit pricey and I don't have a great need for it yet. Someone brought up body fat %. A lot of charts for healthy body fat % have an age factor. This article talks about it a little (at the bottom):…

My take away was that there could be some insulin resistance. :'( He mentions making sure you have adequate protein. I hate when people say that. What does that mean? I have read many articles that as we age we need more protein. How much more? How much more if we are lifting weights? This was written by Layne Norton:…

Hummingbird cake! There are tons of recipes for it on-line. https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/hummingbird-cake-recipe

Following! I almost posted something similar last year but things returned to normal. I know that peri is just around the corner for me...or maybe few years around the corner! This may be worth listening to: https://player.fm/series/jps-health-fitness-2166069/podcast-38-interview-with-lyle-mcdonald-part-2

No recipe yet...just something stuck in my head. I need to make a lemon basil dessert of some kind! The tofu bacon sounds yummy! Look into eggplant "bacon" if you are looking for something else to try.

You may find this an interesting read: https://bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/protein-intake-while-dieting-qa.html/ I would personally would go a bit higher than 1 gram per kg. Probably around 0.75-0.8 grams per pound for your body fat %. Congrats on the 40 pounds! Can you describe the physical demands of your job? I would…

I recently flew and checked that list. I didn't do anything crazy - I just brought a protein bar and a high carb cereal bar of some kind. I never check a bag - so I don't bring something that takes up a lot of space. I wouldn't mess around with any food that needs to be kept cold. It just seems like a lot of hassle. The…

I was peaking at your diary. You could try swapping out the fresh fruit for dried fruit and nuts. They are calorie dense. I personally would avoid potatoes and beans because they are very filling to me. You could also just have smaller portions of veggies and maybe a little extra of whatever you find to be not filling.

I have tried the green giant cauliflower tots - which are a bit better calorie wise. 110 calories for 6 tots. I thought they were decent but probably would not buy them again unless they were on sale.

@jseams1234 I agree. I worked really hard to get my lift numbers up! My current workout has me doing 3 sets of 8. I always try to get a small increase in weight on the bar and do all 8 reps but I often don't make it on some of my lifts. For example, it took me 4 weeks to add a pound to overhead press and to get all 8 reps…

You still have some nice veins on your arms and I can still see that you have abs! You really don't look fluffy. I apologize, I was teasing you a tiny bit and it probably didn't come out right... Very nice progress! :)

I also keep changing my mind as well! I was thinking to swap to maintenance for a tiny bit. Then I dropped some hormone weight and a little extra it is pretty motivating! So far this week compliance has been a breeze. I am pretty sure next week I will flip back!

I thought the flavor went well with the lemon - and keeps the lemon from being too strong. It also keeps the cake moist!
