diet is key!! increase cardio/HIIT & make sure you're eating in a deficit

oatmeal, frozen fruit & veggies, bananas, berries, bell peppers, lettuce mixes, whole grain tortillas, whole wheat bread, natural peanut butter

the one I've been using for a year now is Dymatize Iso-100... low carb/fat & quality ingredients. Birthday cake is soooooooo good!

you don't NEED protein powder to perform... it's just a supplement... however, I do like using protein powder in my oatmeal & waffles. I see a lot of people bake with it, as well!

you can for sure build your legs at home! run up & down the stairs (outside or in your home) mixed w/ some plyo exercises. get a pair of dumbbells (weight that is challenging, but do-able) & you can do so many squat and lunge variations... squats - Bulgarian split, jump, sumo, goblet... lunges - walking lunges, reverse,…

I feel that I'm 'low' carb although to some I'd be considered the opposite haha For months I've been in a deficit, consuming 160g carbs most days. However, this week is the first of a new carb cycle I'm trying out--low carb days (150g carb | 60g fat | 135g protein) are 5x a week & my high carb days (220g C | 40g F | 110g…

if you're using several tablespoons per meal each day, they can surely add up... I try to limit myself to 1/2 T when I cook with EVOO in a meal, as I like to save my fats for other things like peanut butter & sometimes avocado

google Zoe Rodriguez Build a Better Booty program... best 20$ I eva spent!! (I still have some to this day, but the program helped diminish it & tighten up the cheeks!)

eggwhite scramble with veggies & a high carb / low fat food on the side... usually an English muffin or cereal :)

Google Jazzy Things black bean brownie recipe... so good!

bananas & avocados!

For sanitary reasons, I always weigh my foods cooked (unless I prefer to eat it raw, then I weigh it raw obviously). In my opinion, it can go either/or... really up to your preference, though. IIFYM can be difficult in the beginning, but once you start thinking of meals & how they fit into your day, it becomes so much…

good for you! weight loss in the beginning can be challenging but sooo rewarding, and hopefully you'll eventually make eating healthy a lifestyle! my favorite snacks are raw veggies with basil pesto or roasted pine nut hummus (Sabra brand).. fresh seasonal fruit such as peaches, berries and pineapple.. dry roasted…

Cereals!

For my espresso on weekdays, I take it black with a packet of stevia (makes such a difference!). On the weekend I like to indulge in American coffee in the AM, & I use flavored Sweetleaf stevia drops and 1/2 tbsp of creamer.

20-30g carbs a day?! that's not optimal at all for your recovery!

When I'm craving a candy bar (usually chocolate!), Questbars are my substitute. My favorites are Choc chip cookie dough & white choc raspberry!

Best way to gauge what's causing you pain/discomfort is seeing how you feel after you eat something--consistently. Also, probiotics help me a TON! I take 1 per day, and my symptoms have decreased dramatically.

Iso100 from Dymatize has 0g fat & only 1g carb... 25g protein! birthday cake is soooooo good

fruit! flavored water drops, sugarfree gum.. and, of course, when I'm really craving something, I enjoy a serving or two of whatever I'm craving!

protein waffles! oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, eggwhites & unsweetened apple sauce!

probiotic every morning! helps me a ton

cereal, frozen/fresh fruit, cookies, kettlecorn

pre workout try to get something in your belly, maybe some peanut butter on toast & post workout make sure you have a good amount of carbs & protein! limit fats

cooking anything in coconut or extra virgin olive oil!

Sesame Terriyaki marinade/sauce! Brand is Organicville... so good in salads & stirfry's (ies?)

you may be allergic to nuts or dairy! soy, even... keep removing things from your diet & reintroducing them, and see if you feel better or worse.

I second Steve! Dymatize Iso100... I've had the gourmet chocolate & birthday cake, but the bday cake is my FAV.! so gooooood

chicken, lean ground turkey (sometimes extra), lean ground beef, steak (not often!), eggs, eggwhites, bacon, prosciutto di Parma, protein powder (sometimes)

overnight oats! just put some whole grain rolled oats in a tupperware or jar... add some eggwhites (for volume + protein!), milk or water, some peanut butter, chia seeds, the list goes on & on... leave it in the fridge overnight & just nuke it for like 45 seconds in the AM :)
