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!

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.

I use Leanfit, but it's a Canadian product so not sure if you'll be able to get it in the US. I like their protein & greens one.

My only true non-negotiable is one cup of black coffee.

Lunch is often a salad consisting of a bed of greens, a bunch of chopped veggies (the usual carrot, celery, zucchini, bell pepper, tomato etc.), topped with either chicken or tuna and crumbled feta. Shredded sharp cheddar in a pinch. Bonus that right now most of the greens & veggies are from my garden 😋 And I found an…

I use walnut. I have a medical issue that can be improved by increasing Omega-3 intake, so that's one reason. Also it's delicious! Personally I've never found an oat or rice milk I liked the taste of. I have serious ethical issues with cashew harvesting. And I'm allergic to soy. But even so, my choice is mostly about…

Gatorade still comes as a powder, at least in Canada. It's in the same grocery store aisle as the powdered Kool Aid.

Eating less can mean putting a scoop and a half of rice on your plate instead of two scoops (an easy example, not singling out carbs specifically). No calorie counting or label reading required. There are multiple paths to the same destination.

Thank you!

No suggestions, but a lot of empathy! I'm varying degrees of allergic (mostly slowly getting worse) to nightshades (tomato, potato, eggplant & peppers), legumes and citrus. It's hard enough to find truly safe food that I take my life in my hands pretty much daily - take a bunch of meds first and hope for the best. These…

Does your tracker allow you to set a custom HRmax? If so, maybe take a look at this calculator: https://fameexercise.com/delivering-fame/exercise-and-activity-goals/ Not perfect of course, but then neither is any other method.

Umm... I'm 5'6", 130something lbs, and female, and I eat more calories and protein than that. Careful how you go!

Protein & CARBS. Still half asleep when I typed this! 🤦‍♀️ If I don't eat enough carbs my energy tanks.

Aphids nearly killed the plant, so I harvested these off the crispy areas. It has since put out new growth from the base that's starting to flower. And I made my latest batch of breakfast muffins with a mixture of black kale, Swiss chard & butter lettuce in place of the spinach the recipe calls for. All from the garden 😋

Macros in that I have gram minimums in my head for protein & fats that I shoot for every day. And Mediterranean-ish. As much as one can be with allergies to legumes, nightshades & citrus. When people ask what I'm allergic to I tend to just say "food." 😭😭

Umm... this is from early 2018 😉

Those... are not designed for my build! 😂😂
