There's actually no science behind eating LESS carbs and losing weight, other than water weight, which isn't what most people focusing on weight loss actually want to lose. But not with respect to fat loss. That said, different nutrient ratios work better for different people. Figure out what works for you instead of…

I've been happy with Garmins for years. No idea how they'd withstand a job in construction because I don't do anything close to that, but some of their models are more rugged/heavier duty than others, so there may well be something to meet your needs in that department. Blood pressure monitoring technology in the watches…

We still have snow on the ground lol. It's been a bit unseasonably warm... might get as high as 10C today, but we're still getting flurries on and off and below-freezing overnights. Not really smart to plant outdoors here until after the May long weekend. That said, I'm transitioning this year from planting in the ground…

Muscle gain while maintaining. More in terms of strength than size/appearance. I've toyed with the idea of dabbling in competive powerlifting, but I'm a hypermobile 46 year old with a heart condition, so "competitive" might be reeeaaally relative lol. We'll see how things go....

I made this casserole last week with frozen veggies. Just popped them in the steamer for 10 mins at the start: https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/8024089/creamy-broccoli-cauliflower-chicken-casserole/ I used a deli rotisserie chicken, and I didn't have enough broccoli so I made up the difference with frozen corn. Don't see…

I see I wasn't the only one thinking it.

No problem! Not only is it fast and tasty, on weekdays I need something portable. I work out before work, fasted due to GI issues if I eat too close beforehand, so I just throw it in my bag in a shaker cup and drink it at my desk. It's a bit tough to dig into a plate of bacon and eggs between phone calls 😉

My morning smoothie on weekdays is: - 1/2 cup mango chunks (I buy frozen & thaw small amounts) - 1/2 cup Liberté 2% Greek yoghurt - 1 scoop Leanfit vanilla protein & greens - 1/4 cup Fibre 1 Crunchy Original cereal - 1 cup Elmhurst Milked Walnuts Top up with water to 750 mls & blend. 398 calories - 36 g protein - 55 g…

Oh no! Pulling for you, friend! 😕

Umm... friends, this thread is from 2015.

Similar to the poster above me, I have big pots of soup & chili portioned out in the freezer. No vacuum sealer though.

Just a cup of black coffee 🤷‍♀️ I'm usually at the gym by 5:30 AM and if I have more than that just before lifting I'm likely to puke.

Last weekend:

1/2 cup cut up fruit 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt 1 scoop Leanfit protein & greens 1/4 cup Fibre 1 crunchy original 1 cup walnut milk Top up with water to 750 ml

Just here to say that EDS sucks! I hope the shoulder gets figured out better soon!

It's for a different reason, but I sleep with earplugs. Highly recommend the Loop ones!

<cries in zone 3>

Leanfit Protein & Greens, vanilla. Disclaimer that I've never tried it on its own - I make a smoothie for breakfast on weekdays and throw a scoop in there.

I sprinkle a few tablespoons of Rogers Porridge Oats & Ancient Grains Blend on my lunch salads. Raw. Tried it after buying a pouch for a recipe my son hated (so I'm not planning to make again anytime soon) and having a lot leftover. Discovered that those 3 tablespoons made a huge difference in my energy level later in the…

@TamiVsTheTrail the best part is that it's actually inside city limits, about 12 minutes' drive from my house!

Sometimes a bad mental health day calls for getting lost in the woods....

On weekdays I make a smoothie with 1/2 cup frozen fruit (thawed), 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt, a scoop of protein powder, 1/4 cup of Fibre 1 cereal (obviously skip this if high fibre triggers your IBS), and 1 cup of walnut milk. Dump it all in the blender, top it up with water to the 750 ml line (usually ~1/2 cup of water) and…

Another vote for Merrells. I live in them!

Oh jeez! Glad you're in one piece, though not actually "okay"!

My usual breakfast on days I'm working is 1/2 cup frozen fruit, 1/2 cup Liberté 2% Greek yoghurt, 1 scoop Leanfit protein & greens, 1/4 cup Fibre 1 Crunchy Original cereal, 1 cup Elmhurst Milked Walnuts, top up with water to 750 ml and blend. The fruit varies, usually mango these days, and I have the rest saved as a recipe…

Let's go with Andre De Grasse instead 😉

I had wondered about the EDS based on a few things you've said. Glad it sounds like you're on the mend!

Umm... Ben Johnson was doping. Maybe not the best analogy 😕

Mini pepperoni sticks, crackers.
